Problem M won't boot

[pandulerojo]

So I downloaded 3.6 hackless on my mac, extracted the files to a 2gb Fat 32, deleted stages from brawl, put sd card when in wii mode, and it doesn't load when i go to the stage builder. I tried putting it in after cutscenes, waiting, nothing happens.

Not really sure what else to do.

Thought possibly it was the order of the files were as as follows

boot.elf
codes
gameconfig.txt
private
project M

Everything is set up correctly; your copy not working is not a glitch. The Project M termination protocol has been activated and will slowly disable any and all copies of Project M.

How are the files on the Sd card? On the root or in the nohomebrew folder?

Same exact thing is happening to me but for homebrew.

You dont go to stage builder with homebrew...

Yeah but every time I launch Project M on the Project M main menu, it just brings me back to the Wii Main menu.

That doesnt mean going to the stage builder works.

Sounds like your wii is having issues reading the disc.

Cleaned the disc and reformatted the SD Card. Brawl works perfectly normal but Project M still doesn't boot when I use the Homebrew Channel.

NTSC?

Try getting the boot.elf from a gecko launger and replacing it.

Im just spit-balling tbh, as someone who has never had problems, im finding it hard to diagnose a lot.

I'm having similar issues as well. Recently bought a wii, 2GB SD, downloaded the hackless PM mod off of the mirrors for on the project M subreddit for 3.6. Deleted custom stages, etc.

When I click the stage builder, nothing happens. The launcher never comes up. Anyone here have any ideas? Does the wii itself need any updates to run Project M? I bought the wii off my buddy who has had it sitting in a closet for four years. The thing is brand new. So not sure what the hell is going on.

Either youve set up your SD card wrong, or you're PAL im guessing.

How exactly do you set it up? mine is formatted to fat(I'm on mac so thats the only available fat format other than exfat) i had no file on it so there was no root, and it had no files. Its still not booting!!

 

[Narpas_sword]

are the files on the root or still in the nohomebrew folder?

 

[DoomCake196]

They're in the nohomebrew folder, but how do i put it in the root if there were no files?

 

[Narpas_sword]

Uh. The root is just the top level. Ie, directly on the Sd card. Not in a folder.

Take everything off the Sd card.
Open the nohomebrew folder on your desktop.
Copy the contents of the nohomebrew folder.
Paste the contents to the Sd card.

 

[DoomCake196]

should i copy the contents of the other folders too? and thanks btw

 

[Narpas_sword]

When you copy the folders inside the nohomebrew folder it will take everything in those folders too.
