I have x64 as well, cuz my laptop is x64. Should I try the x86 version?
32-bit refused to load with Gecko OS on my end, I'm stuck with 64-bit, not that mind however. At this rate, the trouble I've been going through almost makes it not worth using it on Dolphin, but I've on more attempt to try with something that was sent in my direction.
Edit: Yup, not even the SD.raw that was sent to me for testing works, now I really need someone to test mine to see what exactly the cause is, so we know it's not the SD.raw at fault, nor the gct file itself.
Given the information, your file hierarchy seems is correct, so it's either a dat problem or a configuration problem. Highly recommended to check the .dats again, at least until I can zip up my Dolphin build.
Alright, sounds good, I'll double check the .dat files, I wouldn't be surprised, but there are at least module files for Peach, so I know I'm not trying to clone a char. that doesn't have a rel file. Anyways, I need to take a break from trying for an hour or so, my brain is completely fried from trying to figure it out.
Try this: Imaging the sd.raw onto an actual SD and Wii testing. This will rule out the build if it works.
I'm trying to avoid having to do this as it's a last resort and I don't want to have to set up my Wii quite yet, hence why I mentioned that having someone double check to see if the hierarchy is even correct after trying two different tutorials multiple times. Time and time again, I've done nothing but fail at trying to get the bloody thing to work, if it doesn't work on Dolphin, chances are it will lock up on the Wii, as I've had mods work on Dolphin but not the Wii.
Again, I'd rather have someone assist with neutralizing errors while I'm still on my PC so I don't have to keep going back and forth between the Wii and my PC. I zipped all my SD files and put it on Dropbox, I just hope someone can help double check the files beforehand, but, at this rate, I'd rather not impose on anyone for assistance as well, you know....
I'd rather not have to get my Wii out of some box somewhere in my closet, hook...in fact, I can't even hook it up, my roommate's TV's occupied with other electronics taking up the inputs. Anyways, I'm at a .
I dunno what a pebkac is, but I happen to have the same setup as you do (64-bit Windows 7 Professional).
PEBKAC, problem exists between keyboard and chair, an end-user error. Anyway, if the 32-bit version doesn't work, I'm sending these files for someone to look into, or something, as this is pissing me off.
Edit: Crashed immediately when using Gecko OS...wtf? Edit 2: Hates the 32-bit version, so it won't load it, looks like 64-bit only for me.
Edit 3: That's it, I'm having someone look at these files, I can't think of anything else, I'm at the end of my rope here.
I sense you're using Dolphin x64. Try using the x86 version. It probably won't help, but that's what I use.
Never thought of that, I use the X64 since I'm on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Pro, again, I might have someone look at the files/folders for what I use, and possibly even test it on their end to see if it's a PEBKAC error.
I'm think I'll need to send the hierarchy of SD.raw for someone to look at to ensure it's correctly done because clearly, there's a piece of the puzzle that's missing. I'm close, very close, to getting this done, but this is getting very weird, at least then, someone can determine what the issue is.
I've tried numerous versions, I only went back to 3.0 as per a suggestion, I've tried 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, didn't do jack squat. I think I'll have someone look at my folder/file hierarchy of the SD.raw file or something, as I'm clearly not doing something right. Loading the ISO via Gecko OS without a gct file, game boots perfectly fine, load the ISO with Gecko OS plus the File Patch Code, instant crash after going through Gecko. That's what I need help with, to have someone else double check my files as someone can make the same error without realizing it, but with someone else double checking, you can find out more.
Then it is your Dolphin configuration or you're doing something wrong over there.
IDK since I use my Wii to load Brawl hacks.
I tried deleting all the config and still does it, Why, I haven't a clue, I like Dolphin because for my other hacks, it's more convenient to test (then again, they're more basic), but something this complex, yeah right, I don't have high hopes. I've followed two different but reliable tutorials, one that was automatic and the other was done manually. Oddly enough, again, I can load Gecko OS and it does load the ISO image just fine, so long as there are no gct files. It's when gct files are found that it locks up
3F was intended to be for Krystal over Peach, but no codes seem to be working. Tried this on both my current modified and unmodified ISO images, same results.
If that's not the correct hierarchy, I don't know what is.
Have you tried the Dolphin Build of BrawlExpanded? If that doesn't work, it is definitely your Dolphin configuration.
Also turn panic handlers on, that might help determine the problem.
Emulator crashes before any messages are displayed. I tried Dolphin 3.0, same results, also crashes. This has given me so much stress I might as well run it on a real Wii.
Tried that, it got past the Gecko OS screen, Hook Type is set to AXNextFrame and the config file has been saved, I loaded the ISO and it bloody locked up on me. I'm just doomed to never being able to run this hack on Dolphin, at all, so, the GCT file was another variable that we ruled out, who knows what else it can be... Damn...
Game Code Manager. er Code Manager, the program with the skull on it. I'm just saying, the GCT keeps failing to load, and was hoping I could try someone else's to see if it works. All I have is the File Patch Code 3.5.1b, the file is named rsbe01.gct and the ID in the file is RSBE01 (not sure if the file is case sensitive or not), so would someone be willing to send me their GCT if that's not too much trouble?
This is proving to be VERY infuriating for me, I don't know how everyone else is running this on Dolphin without problems but I seem to have rotten luck, I don't understand it, at all, and I'm about to pull my hair out. The hierarchy is correct, the files for the clone are correct, in fact, Gecko OS loads the ISO just fine, so long as there is no GCT file. If the GCT is in there, it crashes right away, so please, if anyone has their GCT for me to test, it would be greatly appreciated.
Yep, FPC crashes the game, even using the built-in FPC for Brawl crashes...
I can load the ISO through Gecko OS fine, it does boot up, but it's when I use the GCT file it all goes to hell, i.e, it crashes. Tried the built-in codes for the emulator settings, nothing. At this point, I may as well use a real Wii since it's being very picky. If someone can send me their premade gct file for me to try on my SD.raw, it would be helpful and appreciated I'm probably making them wrong.
Thats not true, it does work with dolphin. me, some people on these forums, and most of my fellow Minus developers use it to make the mod, so i know its not just me, and i know its not conflicting with dolphin. However, if something being PATCHED is corrupted, then it will freeze with the FPC. If your looking for another pack to try, try melee master's or Nebulon's
Like, I can get Gecko OS to run the ISO through the app without the FPC, it's just locking up WHEN I use the file patch code, why, I haven't a clue, it's baffling.
Sorry for sounding skeptical, just haven't a clue why the code isn't being applied. Loads GeckoOS fine without codes, locks up with it. Today, I had help making everything manually with success, but still, the code refuses to patch in the app and just hangs at the loading screen, so I don't have a clue. Everything in his and your tutorial was done exactly.
Do I need an apps/geckoos1931 folder with the boot file in the SD card as well? Because it got past the Gecko OS screen, but then it was just blank with the emulator log spamming the same string of text thousands of times over and over.
Turns out, I can launch the game with Gecko OS without problems, but only if I boot without codes enabled, notably, the File Patch Code. I don't think that code works with Dolphin 3.x or 4.x at all, as it's what been crashing the emulator. I know that because I just tried, but obviously, no CSS differences were noticeable. The FPC conflicts with Dolphin.
Do you want me to send you my entire Dolphin 3 configuration?
If you want, it's really weird; I'm getting very, very close, just one more step and I'm there, Gecko OS loads perfectly fine and it does look like it's about to load the cheats and the ISO image, but it gets stuck at "loading ISO....applying cheats from SD...." but the emulator itself doesn't actually crash as I can close the window without it giving me an error, and doesn't say "not responding". Very peculiar, but I am making progress...I think.
Eh, I dunno about a template, it'd require some explaining. It's getting a little late for me, but if you want a step-by-step of the manual process later (with images instead of just text) I'll be happy to give it to you tomorrow.
Sure thing, I'd appreciate it when you have the time, thanks again! A step-by-step manual would be great
Got the files, now, the emulator doesn't crash, which is definitely another good step in the right direction, but Gecko OS just seems to be stuck on "loading ISO, applying cheat codes...." and then just sits there doing nothing. I'll try making a new cheats and Private directory.
So close!!! Lol!
Edit: Yeah, that tears it, I'll have to do this on real hardware, Dolphin is just being...interesting.

I'm probably making them wrong.
