Important Project M on a PAL Wii *UPDATED*

[Ahebrleste]

Nevermind! I could solve all the problems, thanks for the guide and tips.

 

[MagiMagi]

When I try to open Brawl it says RSBE01.gct does not exist.

 

[Squelchyman]

On the WBFS Manager, no matter how many times I select my .rar file, it doesn't seem to recognize it.

extract the rar file.
you want to select an ISO

When I try to open Brawl it says RSBE01.gct does not exist.

Did you follow this correctly?

16. The only thing you need to do now is turn ocarina on. you can either do this by locating the brawl iso and following >game settings>loader settings>ocarina and turning it to on (it should say global before changing it), or just turn it on from the usb loader settings (if you do this, leave it as global in the settings for brawl).

Is your SD card set up correctly with PM?

 

[Squelchyman]

All I get when I extract it is photos of mt_seymour

 

[Squelchyman]

extract the rar file.
you want to select an ISO

When I extract the rar, all I get is images of mt_seymour.

 

[Narpas_sword]

ahahah. how big is the file?

sounds like you got something that isnt an iso.

 

[MagiMagi]

I think so, but I'm not sure. I couldn't find most of those options but I found options that were very similar and when I turned ocarina on it didn't say global. Where is it supposed to say global and where exactly do I go to set it up?

 

[Squelchyman]

The rar file is 6.9gb, the photos are like a couple of hundred kbs

 

[Squelchyman]

my internet is slow, it took 7 hours to download

 

[Barramundi]

where do you find brawl iso (don't know where WBSB is)?

 

[Narpas_sword]

where do you find brawl iso (don't know where WBSB is)?

on a brawl disc, you can use the cleanrip app for homebrew to rip it to usb.
we cant discuss obtaining isos other ways here.

@ Squelchyman , not sure what to tell you bud, you'll either have to get another one, or figure out if theres something weird about your pc and hiding file types.

@ MagiMagi , usbloader has a little cod for the settings, just go looking through there.

 

[MagiMagi]

I did follow those steps (it didn't say global though) and I'm pretty sure it's set up correctly on my SD card. Why does it say it doesn't exist?

 

[Narpas_sword]

screenshot your sd card root

 

[MagiMagi]

This is a really stupid question but how do I send an image?

 

[Narpas_sword]

iforce.co.nz

upload then link

 

[MagiMagi]

Thanks.

[Narpas_sword]

ok, first up, are you doing anything with homebrew other than usb loader?
there is a lot on your sd card

did you complete the format in this step?

10. insert the SD card back into your computer, and perform another quick format. locate the file 'homebrew.zip' that you downloaded from the project M website. extract the contents of this file onto the root directory of your SD card.


the immediate otehr problem i see is that project m is in it's homebrew folder still.
the files inside the homebrew folder should be on the root of your sd card.

@ ndowner , perhaps this step should be explained a little more thoroughly?
extracting the contents of a file to the root is a little ambiguous, im guessing people are extracting the zip straight to the sd, instead of extracting it, then taking the contents in the homebrew folder and putting those on the sd.

perhaps the OP can have a screenshot of the completed SD card?

 

[MagiMagi]

No, I forgot to format it then. Will I have to redo anything or just format it now? No, I haven't got anything else on my SD card. I have at least one document that's terms and conditions of something so I may have accidentally downloaded some small things. So, don't I just cut and paste everything on to the root directory?

 

[Narpas_sword]

format the card, then do 10 and 11 again.

12 - 16 wont be affected by the format, and will still be fine to go.

extract the homebrew.zip to your desktop
open the homebrew folder that you get
copy everything in there (apps, codes, projectm, gameconfig.txt)
paste those onto your SD card Root

 

[MagiMagi]

So after I do step 10, all that should be on the card is the three folders and gameconfig.txt? (sorry if this is obvious by the way)

 

[Narpas_sword]

Yea, step 10 clears your card.
then adds the contents of the homebrew folder.
which is:

/apps/
/codes/
/projectm/
gameconfig.txt

that is all that will be on the card after step 10. (including whats in the folders of course)

apps and coeds folders are standard homebrew folders, the projectm specific stuff is in them. (you can add other apps, which is what you're doing in step 11)

step11, get the contents of the 'USBLoader_GX_V3_0_AllinOnePackage_IOS249.zip'
which is:

/apps/
/wad/
changelog.txt
reademe.txt

copy those to the root of the SD card (it will merge the apps folders together, so if you open the apps folder on your SD card, it should have the projectm folder, and the usbloader_gx folder.

 

[MagiMagi]

Now USB Loader GX isn't opening. Sorry to keep pestering you, but how do I fix this?

 

[Narpas_sword]

what do you mean 'isn't opening'?

I dont mind helping, you just need to explain things with the most details possible =)

 

[MagiMagi]

Thanks.

It's on the Wii menu screen and I can press to open it but then it just takes me back to the menu screen again. It may be because of something I did with the SD card. Since the usbloader folder was supposed to be in apps and when I extracted it, it was on the root directory, I moved it into apps. Was that me being stupid?

 

[Narpas_sword]

tahts weird.

Can you try opening the homebrew channel, and clicking on usb loader there?

 

[MagiMagi]

No, it doesn't come up.

EDIT: PM comes up but I can't play it.

 

[Narpas_sword]

the PM launcher in homebrew wont work without a disc, dont worry about that.

what exactly did you move to apps?

does your sd card look like this?

 

[MagiMagi]

I don't have wad, changelog or readme. I think I may have extracted the allinone thing wrong. What's changelog and readme though?

 

[Narpas_sword]

guessing you did this bit wrong:

step11, get the contents of the 'USBLoader_GX_V3_0_AllinOnePackage_IOS249.zip'
which is:

/apps/
/wad/
changelog.txt
reademe.txt

copy those to the root of the SD card (it will merge the apps folders together, so if you open the apps folder on your SD card, it should have the projectm folder, and the usbloader_gx folder.

Extract 'USBLoader_GX_V3_0_AllinOnePackage_IOS249.zip' to desktop.
Open the USBLoader_GX_V3_0_AllinOnePackage_IOS249 folder.

inside is

/apps/
/wad/
changelog.txt
reademe.txt

put all of those on the root of your sd card.

 

[MagiMagi]

I checked and I have all the same files except they don't say .txt after them. I'll redo this part now.

 

[Narpas_sword]

wait, don't add '.txt' to the file names, that's just the extension, you probably have extensions hidden.

https://www.google.co.nz/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=show file extension in windows 8

if you add them you'll have gameconfig.txt.txt and it wont work.

edit: sorry i read the "ill do this part" as you adding .txt to the files, you probably mean you'll redo step 11 lol.
disregard this post if that's the case =p

 

[MagiMagi]

So what do I do? I have all the same files.

Edit: nvm

 

[Narpas_sword]

are they in the right place?
does your SD card look like the picture i posted?

 

[MagiMagi]

IT WORKED!

Thanks for all the help, I'd be lost without you. I really can't thank you enough. I'm so hyped to play.

 

[Narpas_sword]

good stuff man.
glad to have helped.

 

[Voltiac]

My wii won't recognise my usb no matter what I do. I open usb loader and it just times out. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[Narpas_sword]

With your vague description of "no matter what i do" i can't really think of how to help.
perhaps a few more details?

I had an issue with a friends USB stick he wanted me to setup his wii with, some just dont want to work, it didnt hang though, jsut error saying something like 'usb drive not recognised'
Can you try another usb drive?
I know the DSE brand ones work fine: http://www.dicksmith.com.au/usb-hard-drives/****-smith-8gb-usb-2-0-dsau-xm1450

Are you putting it in the correct usb port on the wii?

 

[Voltiac]

I've followed the guide through twice and I've been successful up to the point where I open USB loader. It goes for about 30 secs until it says it couldn't find a USB or HDD drive. Im currently using a 32GB Toshiba USB. Ill try the USB that you have linked and ill come back to tell if it works.

Edit: I've tried both USB ports (although I think it said the outmost USB port in the guide).

 

[Narpas_sword]

it its the usb loader splash screen saying 'Waiting for HDD' then a countdown?
