Problems Launching P:M

[SwisshySwaash]

Alright i'm new to smash and stuff so hi

I'm trying to get project M on my wii classic. I'm running Hackless full-set 3.5 for wii classic. I got the right SD card, i cleared all my stages, and i even get to the launcher screen. But whenever i press "Play" or "Update" i get a black screen and the disk stops spinning and my wii resets. Please help!

Thank You,
Swaash.

Is it the DSI exception? The solution for that is usually to completely disable Wi-Fi.

If that's not it, try reinstalling (delete all PM files, and download again).

I used to get dsi exception, so I removed wifi. When i did that it would just go to the stage selector page like it would normally. So i reformatted my sd card, and downloaded the same files, and it gives me a blank screen and the disk stops spinning.

Try loading via Gecko OS instead:

• Install GeckoOS to your SD card (download link, copy the boot.elf from /Gecko1931/HBC/Gecko1931/ to your SD card root)
• Load GeckoOS via the Stage Builder, as usual
• Boot game

do i have to remove the original boot.elf file from the sd card? or do i just drag and drop? or do i just reset the sd card and put it on it's own?

P.S. Thank you so much for your help!

Just replace the old boot.elf, that's the only file you need to change.

No, you need the WiFi-safe set for that. You also need friend codes for people to play against, since "with anyone" will not work for PM.

Would I use the same boot.elf file that you gave me for that?

Yes
