Project M 3.6 Launcher Not Working

[Merfect]

For some reason whenever I try to load up 3.6 it gets stuck on the green and purple static screen and never loads the launcher. I've re-downloaded, but it still doesn't work. Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem, but no one has given a solution. I'm using the Hackless version.

The same is happening to me and it's really pissing me off. I've tried to run it countless times and I've redownloaded it too. I know I didn't screw up the download because the boot.elf code screen is coming up before it goes to the pink and green. I guess my sd card could be having issues but if you said it was happening to a lot of other people I guess that's not it. I suppose we'll just have to wait till 3.6 final version. btw I was using the hackless as well and not the one via media fire.

 

[StubbyDK]

I tried both hackless versions and the same thing is happening, stops at the static screen. I'm now on the 4th re-download and nothing is changing. Just wait a couple days I guess

 

[Jackarooman]

This is happening to me, too. I'm sorry I can't help you all. :C

If you have any GameCube memory cards inserted in your Wii, try taking them out.

I was having the same issue with it getting stuck on the green and pink screen, but once I took them out, it launched fine.

Thankyou so much, you are a god.

For real?! How does that work? Well, it's too late for me to try that. I went ahead and Homebrewed my Wii.

Beats me, but I'm not going to question results that work.

I don't know if this same issue persists on a Homebrewed Wii, but I hope it works for ya!

Thank youuuuuuuuuu! I was actually thinking about trying it without them but I didn't think it would actually make a difference.

 

[ThePlacidPlatypus]

The memory card thing does work. I wonder why this happened. It was never an issue with any other versions.

 

[FakeKraid]

Hey I can't even get the boot.elf to appear in the Custom Stage menu guys. Any advice?

EDIT: What I mean is, after putting the contents of nohomebrew.zip on my SD card, the Stage Builder Menu is just blank, nothing, no stages at all, no loader, zip, zilch, nada. Just vanilla brawl.

EDIT2: Nm guys, seems my download got wonky and excluded a bunch of files for no f***ing reason, it may be fixed now

Did you make sure to do all the things?

No custom stages on the Wii or SD Card, no other content on the SD card, SD card isn't named Project M, SD Card 2 GB or less, extract all the files to the card, and all that jazz?

Edit: Formatting the SD card might help too, it will clean out everything just in case something is left over.

Yeah at first it said I didn't have room for all of the files even though there was nothing on it but I reformatted it and it worked fine. I never had to do that with other versions though.

Mine started getting past the green and purple state after I took out the gamecube memory cards but now when I try to press play it just resets the wii and starts up brawl instead of project m. Please help

Hmm... I'm not quite sure what to do about that. I've powered on and off a few times and it launched fine every time.

I hate to sound like a parrot, but...

If it doesn't work after that, it might be your hardware (Wii), but I'm not sure.

 

[Pac-Attack]

I'm just re downloading it again and hopefully it'll work but thanks anyways

For the Brawl loading bug goes, this is an issue common with any file patch code, not just exclusive to the launcher. For some reason, some SD cards fail to properly load the file patch code, but load the other codes just fine. I have two cards that won't work, too (ugh...) so try using a different card. That's all I really know about the issue.

"Yeah, my **** just won't load at all. After I hit play from the launcher, it sends me back to the wii menu screen. I've tried removing my GCN memory cards and still nothing."

Idk how gc memory cards interfere with the launcher but yeah it worked.

It might be an issue with your SD card, like TopazPhoenix said.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else it could be at this time. Sorry.

 

[Kyujuu]

I'll see if i can't just get another SD card and try that...

Ok i'll tell you what, this is what I have done for my wii to run Project M
Go here http://please.hackmii.com/
Type in your MAC address, it will be in wii settings and select the correct version of your wii. That will be written in settings. Most likely 4.3U if you're trying to run PM
UNTICK Bundle Hackmii Installer
Cut any wire given there, it doesn't matter
You will get a folder called 'Private'

Now, in your PM 3.6 download, you should see the folders and files

• codes
• private
• projectm
• boot.elf
• gameconfig.txt

Now delete the private folder from the PM download, and replace it with the private folder you created. Make sure you delete the old folder first because when you replace files sometimes errors may happen.
Now remove your sd card and put it in your wii. Now you don't run the game through brawl, but instead you run it through the wii messages. You will see a red letter icon for 5th July or whatever the date you created the private folder. Click on that and Project M launcher should appear. Click on play and it should work. Hopefully it does

Even though the launcher properly starts up for me, it doesn't start the game.

Do you have a green screen? Remove your memory cards and try.

Okay i'll tell you what. Is your SD card 2gb and did you delete all the stages from stage builder menu to load it? If then try this
1. Load your SD card onto your computer.
2. Reformat into FAT32.
3. Backup, save, then try!
If it still doesn't work then try the method I used. This method works with 4gb sd cards and bigger too

If that still doesn't work try it with homebrew and gecko launcher instead of the PM one.
And remember to try to remove the gamecube memory card from the wii if that is the one creating problems.
