dont think so music gets streamed instead of preloaded

You were right. Project M works just fine without the textures/models. Music works perfectly. Don't have any stage textures besides the ones that came with the download, so i can't test that. I can say this issue is solved. All I have to do is turn custom textures off. Thanks a bunch. I'll be locking this thread.

thing is, project M is kind of a [censored] for filesizes, so a mod that works on regular brawl has possibilities to freeze project M

*Sigh* Ok. Does that count for my music also?

silent freeze happens to me when testing imports that have a very small oversize, are you using any other mods than Project M?

Well, I have some model ports/textures and music. I always tried to make sure that I don't have any model hacks that mess with the character's hitbox/size. So that it's consistent and doesn't cause problems when using mods like Project M and Brawl Minus.

I have an 2 GB SD Card. I fully hacked my Wii 4.3 and optimized it for Riivolution (better organization and options without bothering my brother to make edits to my SD Card). I have used Project M before but with this recent patch, I can not play it at all. Everything works absolutely fine until I choose a stage. No matter what stage or character, upon making a selection it seems to be in a perpetual loading that never ends. No buzzing or any clear indication that it actually freezes. I just can't play. I used the Riivolution Full Set before I plan to still use it now. Can anyone enlighten me to what may be the problem? I can add any details that may be needed.

Riivolution has a weird way of reading files. The pac and rel files have to be optimized for Riivolution, like how Project M has a Riivolution option that's built specifically fro Riivolution. Unfortunately, most hacks are for Homebrew users. You can still use the hacks by placing them in the old way.

For stage.pac: private>wii>app>rbse>pf>stage>melee>"stage.pac"
For rel files: private>wii>app>rsbe>pf>module>"stage.rel"

Really, only stage hacks have this problem. Everything else can be put where they should be put, like in Midnite's AllisBrawl Riivolution help thread.

Whenever I go over to Samus on the character slection screen to change colors, it freezes. I have no idea why this happens. Please help and enlighten me on why this happens and what I can do to fix this. Is it rearranging the files? Need to use a different texture hack for Samus' blue costume? What?!

EDIT: It was how the Samus/ZSS files were made in last patch of Brawl Minus. The 2.X.6 patch is now completely fine.
