Riivolution Help

[Xaro]

Hey all! Where do the common5.pac and other specific files go if I'm using Riivolution. I've found http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=11743.0, but can anyone be more specific?

Like where CSS files, SSS files, common5.pac, common3.pac, and other system files go?

It all depends on the .xml file that you are using.  Can you show us which ones you are using, or are you just using the Brawl+/-/whatever version provided in the guide?

Frequently Asked Questions


Q: How do I launch texture hacks/codes on a SDHC (over 3GB) or USB drive? Hide
If you're launching it from Gecko OS, texture hacks, stage textures/hacks, Brawl+, Brawl-, Balanced Brawl, etc. will not work from SDHC cards in Brawl because Brawl's programming doesn't read SDHC cards, but will launch Gecko OS codes.

If you do want texture hacks, Brawl+ or any type of code-related goodness from a SD card, SDHC card, or even a USB drive, google for "Riivolution". Riivolution will let you replace any file from your SD/SDHC/USB, as well as run codes.

1) Download Riivolution. Again, I emphasize using Google for it. Extract it to your SD card or USB drive.

2) Make a folder in the root of your SD card/USB drive called "riivolution". You should have "apps" and "riivolution" in the root. Inside "riivolution", download codehandler.bin from here and place it in the "riivolution" folder.

3) Download modlauncher.xml and save it inside the "riivolution" folder.

4) Launch Riivolution from your favorite loader. It should bring up the options for Ocarina, but everything should be preset for you to hit "Launch".

It should look similar to this:


So, you may be asking, where do I place Brawl+, Brawl- or even my regular brawl codes? My texture hacks? Look no further:

Ah, so you used the modlauncher.xml.  You put the common5 and common3 in the brawlmods/textures/system folder.  CSS and SSS stuff have to go into the common5 file.

do i have the version to where I always have to have the _en on file names? or does it matter with my codes?

[Victory Badguy]

If you're using the version in the guide, then no, you don't have to have _en at the end of your common# files.  Trust me, this is the same version that I use, and neither my common3 nor my common5.pac have _en at the end.

everything's working now! thanks a lot!

[Victory Badguy]

No problem.  If you need anything else, feel free to ask.
