Running PM from USB - Brawl disc broke :'(

[CallMeCAM]

Sometime during APEX my brawl disc broke, but instead of buying a new one I saw many people running PM through their usbs. How can I get this to work, is there a guide someone can link me too? I don't see any for the newest version with the launcher that can update PM.

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help me!

Do you already know how to boot games from usb? if not read this. After that just simply install pm as usual and it should work although.

important note, when using CFG loader (the USB loader that YOU SHOULD USE) and you are about to boot up brawl with all the PM stuff in the normal spot on the SD card, you need to go to options and turn on ocarina codes or else CFG will just boot normal brawl.

Side note, it's very plausible that it's not your disk that broke, but your wii's lense. And Brawl is the culprit, if it's the case.
I don't know if they still do that, but Nintendo used to ship you a new wii if Brawl broke your wii's lense. You could look into that as well, if you do not wish to install an USB Loader.

my wii disc drive crapped out as well, softmodding to USB load is worth it though, if only to have your game load VERY fast.

You can use USB Loader GX (latest version) Turn on Ocarina and set hooktype to VBI. Latest version of USBLGX can be found online. Since the server that updates the app is offline.

Dol. Is used to boot up the usb loader app, wad is used to create a fowarder channel on your wii menu.

Ok I'll do that and one more thing, is there a way to combine this with bootmii, I truely enjoyed not having to have a sensor bar and wiimote

cfg can be run from the homebrew channel, so yes, you can still use bootmii.

Anyone recommend a specific USB drive to use? Is it better to use an external hard drive?

I'm using a 1TB harddrive I won at a LAN party, but any decent sized hard drive should work. Just keep in mind the instructions for large your partition can be.
