On monday I was playing hacked Brawl at my college.  Today when we went to play, it wouldn't work.  I didn't even take the memory card out between monday and today, so I don't know what went wrong.  

BootMii ran normally.  Homebrew opened normally.  Gecko launched normally.  The strap menu was changed to a buffer menu a while ago.  That worked fine.  The opening movie started.  The screen that displays at the end of the movie appeared as it always does.  As soon as you press Start during the movie the screen turns black (it's supposed to) and the game just freezes.  We also tried letting the movie run and then press A at the title screen.  The screen turns white (supposed to), then freezes.  

We ended up trying to run Smash Bros without mods by just using the Wii Menu and running the game.  Everything worked perfectly, so it's definitely related to the hacking.  I just have no idea what could have caused it.  Any ideas at all?

I asked about this on the SmashStack forums, but I figure I can also check here. 

My friend goes to college a few hours away from me and doesn't really know enough to run hacked Brawl himself. Coincidentally, the Wii he plans to use is at his college and currently does not have Homebrew on it.

Is it possible to have SmashStack and the Brawl hacking files on the SD card at the same time and have everything work?

Ex. Homebrew installs while the Brawl hacking files (from Kitty Corp) are on the SD card.
Ex. After Homebrew is installed, the hacked Brawl will run normally while SmashStack is still on the SD card.

Are those two examples true?

I tried to install the Autodesk 3DS Max free version for students.  During the installation process, a box popped up that told me I needed to close something.  It said monitor.exe was running and it must be closed to complete the installation. 

I have no clue what that is or how to close it.  My professor isn't familiar with this issue.  Any ideas?


P.S. I'm also posting this on the Vizzed forum. 

I can't figure out how to change the Gold Bowser to some other skin.  I have skins for 01, 03, 04, and 05 that all work.  I applied the 01 skin (Groudon for me) to 00, 02, 06, 07, 08, and 09 as a test.  I just used copy/paste and changed the numbers.  After running that test the original skin changed to Groudon, but there were no other changes.  The Gold Bowser stayed as Gold Bowser instead of changing into a Groudon. 

So can anyone help?  I just want to know what number to use rather than testing numbers 10-99.  I use GeckoOS. 

I'm using GeckoOS.  The majority of the mods were applied by my friend, so all of the standard files should be fine.  There are a ton of stage and character mods that work perfectly.  He never applied any item mods except that mushrooms can stack now. 

Basically, how do I apply item modifications?  I did read through this and didn't find an answer-
