PM not working

I've tried everything and PM is just not working.
Whenever I try to launch it through stage builder, nothing loads.

I've followed guides, youtube clips and even though I'm doing exactly the same as what they do, it just won't launch.

I have a 2 GB SD Card
I have a non-hacked Wii
I downloaded the Non-homebrew version.

Can anybody please help me?

I just started trouble shooting myself yesterday. Tried the Letterbomb method. Nothing. Tried installing a home brew and going that route. Nothing. I'm going to do a bit more testing and trouble shooting on my own before I post. Something like erasing the card and formatting it to FAT instead of the default FAT 32 and attempting another homebrew... but the letterbomb absolutely refuses to show up even though my mac address and version 4.3U are perfect. I can't believe your having problems with a 2GB card tho as that's supposedly suppose to make this whole process 10 times easier and still your running into issues. What brand is it? Anyway this install set up is nowhere near as tidy as the dev team thinks it is. Then again I don't have a 2GB card... but supposedly 4 gigs and up work with version 4.3 anyway and Nintendo themselves release a special addition sandisk 4gb sd card so yea... Or maybe I should be pointing the finger at the homebrew guys instead. Like I said gonna erase my card today reformat it and try and run the homebrew again with a clean slate. It probably still won't work. This is infinitely frustrating and needs to be handle better and or with clearer cut instructions with regards to the bugs and or difficulties you may face with regards to set up.

I have a Toshiba 2 GB SD Memory Card.

This one:

Without the space, but I need 10 posts to post a link.


I already tried formatting to both FAT and FAT 32. Nothing's working..

Is there something wrong with my SD card?

I've tried using the IRC, but nobody responded, and I was there for an hour.

I've checked everything, I have no clue what's wrong.

Finally got it to work today myself... with a random crappy sd I had laying around... I specifically avoided using because I thought it wouldn't work lol. I installed the hbc first and after that was successful gave project m a shot and it worked. It may just be an issue as simple as changing the sd card being used for you as well.

ok make sure the card is formatted to FAT32 without using quick format and the allocation size set to 4096 bytes... then try to save something from brawl to the sd card to make sure brawl can read it...

And what exactly do you mean by 'saving something from brawl to the sd card'?

I've installed the Homebrew Channel.
Now I can launch the game and get to the play, update or Addon menu.
But when i click play, it sends me to the wii menu and when I stay too long in the menu itself, I get an Exception DSI error..

By saving something from brawl to the card i meant a picture or a replay... the DSI exception error is solved by disconnecting from internet for the time being...
as for the being sent to the wii menu, is your wii updated to 4.3?.. also have you had any disc reading errors or problems with disc reading taking a long time?..

It's 4.3
I've tried disabling any internet connections I've had, it doesn't work.

I havent had any disk errors ever.

I'm gonna try the picture/replay method soon.

Okay, it still doesn't work.

It's getting really frustrating.. I've been doing all kinds of stuff for days now.

by 'still doesnt work' do you mean you cant load up brawl then save something to the SD?

The purpose of that is to check brawl can save to your SD. it's not a fix.

I've tried making a screenshot and putting it on the SD card. It said it was successful.
When i put the SD card back in my pc, the screenshot is not in the folder.

I've also tried using the Gecko launcher, but it just launches normal Brawl when I try to boot up Project M.

Any ideas?

check read/write speeds of the SD card youre going to buy.

My mate has a slow one ant it can take like, 3-4 seconds to load a stage. (whereas mine takes like 0.3 sec)
