PM not loading in stage builder T_T

[andrewcsss]

I just downloaded the new pm 3.5 but unfortunately its not loading in the stage builder. I when through the troubleshooting guide and everything checked off. I dont understand how this is a problem when pm 3.0 worked perfectly for me. If anyone has any form of help please post below
(PNY 2 gig sd card)

(PNY 2 gig sd card)

You sure that's 2 GB? Check it in the file manager (right click > Properties). A lot of 2 GB PNY cards are actually 4 GB, which won't work.

 

[andrewcsss]

yes someone told me this so i decided to check in my disc utility(using mac) and it is 2 gigs

 

[Moydow]

So when you go into the stage builder, does anything happen? Does the launcher appear, or does it just sit at the stage builder screen?

 

[Tryst]

I'm assuming you have cleared your SD card of everything else and then put 3.5 on? Did you also delete all of your stages?

 

[JawiDDT]

sure you do not have compressed folders.

 

[Stickjeremiah]

I have the same problem. Have a 2gb SD card, no stages, and project m won't launch!

 

[Moydow]

Is the SD card actually recognised by the Wii?

 

[Stickjeremiah]

Yeah, the Wii knows the SD card is there, it just doesn't load the launcher.

 

[Moydow]

Is it formatted as FAT32? (if reformatting, make sure "quick format" is switched off)

 

[Stickjeremiah]

Yep, I formatted it with quick format off. I hope I can fix this, I really want to play 3.5!

 

[andrewcsss]

so i tried formatting to fat32 (on mac go to disk utility and click format to ms-dot(fat)) but it refuses to format to fat32 and instead formats to fat 16. does this really make a difference or does it HAVE to be 32. if it does have to be 32 does anyone know a solution to this problem because ive been searching the apple forums/google for a solution with no success.

Hvae you tried saving a pic or replay to the card to see if brawl recognizes the sd card?..

hmm a few things i can think of atm. make sure you have stack smash deleted. (hackless method) it comes in the stage folder by default. then make sure the *disable custom stage code* is off in the GCT.

*also a side note. you can use SD cards well over 2 gigs now >.> i have an 8 gigabyte card i play on AND save replays, pics, and more to. they have had a code in the GCT since 2.5 i believe to use SDHC cards. (up to 32 gigs)

All of this only applies to the homebrew version. OP is loading via the Stage Builder, hence he/she is using the non-homebrew version.

I wasn't gonna say anything but in this context, literally all of this is wrong...
He is loading it hackless so he needs stack smash... and even if he didn't, it would not cause any problems with the loading process...
you can't just disable codes in the GCT... and that would just allow him to pick custom stages after loading PM, and it's the loading part he's having trouble with...

Yes you can use sdhc cards now but brawl on it's own still can't read them so that doesn't work for the stage builder loading method...

oops derp xD i shouldn't reply at 4 am with no sleep Dx i misread it as he couldn't get custom stages to load Dx. actually i had this issue a while back when soft modding a friends wii. make sure you have ALL stages off of your SD card. that includes any saved to your system! even if you haven't made any, brawl comes with 3 "sample" stages you must delete as well.
