So on the topic of custom skins compatability

So I recently got Project M and it's great.

However all the old skins I used to run, well I don't know how to put them in.

I put them in the way I used to and the game simply crashed. It's important I say that the crash occurred upon stage selection after choosing my character and whatnot. I was running a model change for shadow over sonic.

Any help is appreciated.

Could be that the files you're putting in over Sonic are too big. Every time I've tried putting any custom models over Roy, for example, the game crashes unless I shrink the sizes of the textures by about 40-50%. FitSonic and FitSonicMotionEtc.pac are bigger in PM than they are in standard Brawl, so that leaves less open space for adding custom skins.

Use the most recent version of BrawlBox. Open the FitSonic##.pac/pcs files, go to TextureData[0]->Textures (NW4R), right-click on each texture, and click "Re-encode". Tick the "constrain proportions" box in the bottom-right, and reduce the height and width by about 40-50%. Click "apply", then "okay", and save the file. You'll need to do this to each texture in each of the FitSonic00-05 files. It's a bit tedious, and I don't know how they'll look in the game (depends on the quality of the original textures), but it's the only way I know of to fix files that are too big. If anyone has a better method, I'd be grateful if you shared it with us.
