This guide is outdated, we're using the SD method on anther's ladder

Ohhhh damn. Is it possible though, to edit the music in the SD method somehow?

 

[qwertz143]

If I winimage edit the music only, will it still desync?

You can put the ISO on your wii using CFG or something of the likes of an iso loader, you can't play Netplay on a wii though.

 

[link_AJ]

Hm but I can't find the ISO. I can only find the SD files

 

[qwertz143]

Hm but I can't find the ISO. I can only find the SD files

Just extract the pf folder from the sd using Winimage and paste that in your sd card for your wii. All stages, all music. Ezpz.

i keep getting dolphin will likely hang..

 

[ikrager]

Can I use a v1.00 melee ISO with Dolphin or Netplay? Or will it cause compatibility issues with other players?

 

[qwertz143]

v1.0 has no netplay settings, therefore you can't play online with anyone

 

[ScarletRed012]

I have one main question: Is it just naturally extremely hard to find a pm 3.6 netplay compatible brawl iso? I've found like 5 or 6 and all of their md5 codes are just completely incorrect to what I need. I'm not asking for help... just wondering if I was the only one having an issue of finding it.

Another side question: Even if I have a different brawl iso... will that affect netplay?

Last question: When I used the PMNetplay.elf with my current brawl isos it just keeps saying "setting up drive" could I have a little help with that as well?

Sorry for so many questions

 

[Hath]

How do I change the PM files to have my own music? It seems like I need to get into my SD card and change it, but I don't know how to do that. I need help because I have the BTRSM (whatever the letters were); it's properly sliced and named. I just need to know how to change it within the SD.

I got a brawl ISO off emuparadise and the MD5 checksum turned out all right.

I fixed it already. I got Winimage and edit the sd in the Dolphin Wii files.

Actually I was trying to help scarletred12, but it's nice that you fixed your problem.

Haha, sorry, I meant to reply to my own message.

 

[Zeckemyro]

What is md5? I have the Invalid read error too, it doesn't crash the game or anything it's just really annoying

 

[drew1212]

Whenever i open the pmnetplayelf, it just takes me straight to brawl

 

[Panudroid]

Did you right click on the brawl ISO in the dolphin menu and select "set as default ISO"?

 

[IronChar]

hey... I have a samsung r525...

is a AMD Athlon II M320 2.1 GHz processor gonna cut it?

Dont think so

 

[IronChar]

I saw this....

even with this verison https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-ishiiruka-dolphin-custom-version

20XX runs ok but brawl is still weak.. apparently my laptop came had a better released with higher specs... like AMD Phenom II X3 P840, my verison doesn't have this.... if I bought this cpu and swapped would that be a good idea?

whats wrong with the ISO version vs the sd card?

improvement would probably be minimal, also hard to swap laptop CPUs

iso is pita to update

 

[IronChar]

yeah, I've started using the SD card verison- easy to set up and it runs rather well

its a damn shame AMD cpus run like **** on dophin

 

[Zvvm]

Whenever i get to gecko its saying that theres no sd card found and it just takes me to brawl. im on mac. what do i do

is the SD.raw in the correct place?
have you enabled SD cards?

 

[Eli_Nice]

I think i've done most of it correctly my problem is when i boot up my PMNetplay.elf i cant control it. Im using a GC adapter that goes through my wiimote. ill try pressing any buttons (even on the "emulated wiimote" setting with keyboard) and no response. where did i go wrong?

 

[888thLegion]

Hey there! I've been met with an issue even after following all your steps, so I'm wondering if I have to have Gecko installed or something, because this happens:

After booting up the .elf I'm met with this screen: https://gyazo.com/f964b1ee6157c5f374d0145384adb66e

When I press A, this happens: https://gyazo.com/a2267b5947536b25acf8c6ae90591b72

Then my screen has just this on it: https://gyazo.com/dd8ad22c958ab81ee0c2bc24cb5878b9

And when I press again "OK" in the window I get this: https://gyazo.com/c8926012613b0f2654bef23215c3de24~

Finally, the Proj.M doesn't show up in my ISO folder: https://gyazo.com/e07f3b1a89c0f43d639af8094957ae0f

Even though it is in the game folder with all the others: https://gyazo.com/d45bdedae2dda56af4ab4ab7d0188dbc

I've replaced the SD Card, and followed the steps, I set the Brawl ISO as the default one, and I've checked the pathway aswell, any ideas why this is happening? I've tried out Brawl and it works fine! No lag whatsoever!

 

[Teckiels]

Will an Intel i3 6100 run netplay well?

 

[RedTheMage]

Sorry for commenting so late,But i wanted to ask. Why can i not change the music? It seems to keep getting stuck.

 

[Panudroid]

Netplay prevents you from changing music so that you don't desync when you're playing online

 

[RedTheMage]

Thats another question i had. Where do you go to do netplay?"

 

[Panudroid]

R RedTheMage https://www.smashladder.com/
They have sections on how to set up netplay for Brawl/p:m

 

[GONZAfeco]

Didn't helped me! So I have all you said, but when I launch Gecko it shows the regular SSBB, but only some weird things happens and when I start a match my game freezes and crashes.Help?

 

[GONZAfeco]

So, now, my friend MK64DS helped me get the game, but when I launch Project M and of course says "contain your hype" the game freezes and my Dolphin stop working. I'll tell you some information if one of theese are the problem: I'm a PAL user(but I'm using NTSC-U SSBB for this), I use PAL60HZ, I have Dolphin 5.0, I have alot of games, it's the Project Waa(With Waluigi).
Anyway, I also tried the normal Project M and the same thing happened, any help for that?

Here's a guide I wrote a while back on how to connect Gamecube Controllers to the PC without an adapter:

A Mini Guide:
Requirements:
• Windows 7, Vista, or XP (Windows 8 might work, but you would have to find your own way to disable driver signatures.)
• A Nintendo Wii with Homebrew Channel.
• A gamecube Controller, I believe Wavebirds do work
• Download these 2 files:
http://www.ngohq.com/?page=dseo
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4tiIt1c41d2YW5vbFFJZ1N1Z0E/edit?usp=sharing
Step 1 (Windows 7 and Vista only)
You will need to open the dseo13b file.
Once the program is open, and you have agreed to the two statements, you will see this screen:

You are going to want to “Enable Test Mode”, hit next, and then restart your computer once test mode is enable.
Upon reboot, if performed correctly, you should see:

. In the bottom right hand corner of your desktop

Step 2 Instal PPJoy
This is the most annoying part, and is the part I couldn't get to work on my friends Windows 8.1 computer.
Extract the 10056.7z file to a folder, you will need all of the files in this folder.
Right click “ppjoysetup-0-8-4-6(5)” and run as administrator, and then follow the installation. If any problems occur during installation, try running the install file in compatibility mode with a windows xp service pack.
* If this doesn't work you may want to also look up guides on how to install PPJoy on a Windows 7/Vista Computer, as it is a rather annoying process, you may find a different method that works for you.

Step 3: PadSend
The next step will be on your wii, you will need to open up the homebrew channel, and tap the home button on your wii remote in order to locate your Wii’s IP Address.

Write down your Wii’s IP address in a notepad, and then return to the main menu of the homebrew channel. Now plug in whatever Gamecube controllers you are going to want to use on Dolphin. Leave your wii on the Homebrew channel and return to your computer.
After this is done you can move back to your computer. If you’re on Windows7 or Vista, you’re going to right click the “PadSend Server (2)” file and click properties. Go over to the Compatability tab, and make sure the settings match:

Once the settings are applied, run the “Padsend Server (2)” file, It will open but will be in the windows tray:

Click on the Icon of the file, and then select the Wiiload Client, you might see a box that says “text” just continue, and you will see this box:

Click yes, and paste in your Wii’s IP from the notepad. If done correctly you should see a screen similar to this, on your Nintendo wii screen:

And the PadSend Server, should now be displaying something similar to this:

Now in your Dolphin Gamecube Controller settings, the Controller should be under the name of one of the following (not the keyboard):

Then just map the controller like normal

NOTES:
• To leave the application on your wii, Hold down L,R,Z,A,Y,START all at the same time.
• This method can be used with up to 4 Gamecube Controllers, but they all have to be individually mapped.

• If you wii IP isn’t 192.168.x.x you may have to hex edit the Padsend and the .dol file

• More information can be found about PADSEND and hex editing from the official thread: http://gbatemp.net/threads/padsend-for-ds-wii-pc-application.295119/ but it hasn’t been updated in a while.
• If people have a lot of trouble with this guide, I do plan on making a video on how to set this up, and compare it to my USB Mayflash adapter, but from my preliminary I notice almost no input lag difference between the USB Mayflash and this method.

Hey, quick question, does this work for mac and if not, is there a different method with mac or do the methods work for both of the platforms?

 

[Ayyyyylmao]

Is there any way to play online cross-platform? As in Dolphin vs Wii? The Wii is already set up for online play on Project M

 

[drew1212]

As of Project M Version 3.6 this guide is UP TO DATE.

A lot of people have difficulty setting up Project M for Netplay (or offline) use so I've decided to make this guide to answer any questions people might have. The reddit thread isn't updated very often and a lot of smashboards members don't know about it/are still asking questions with easy solutions. If I could possibly get this stickied that would be great. OUTDATED METHOD [Iso builder] (Windows/Mac/Linux)

WHAT YOU NEED
NTSC copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl.iso [no links/asking where to get one, you need to do this on your own]
2 GB of Hard Drive Space
