I use Smash Stack, and sometimes when I go to Stage Builder to load Gecko OS, instead of taking me to the black, coded screen, it just sits there. If I attempt to exit or click on anything, the game will semi-freeze -- animations and music still play, but the controls are frozen. I have to reboot my Wii and go back; it always works after that. A few times though I had to reboot twice in a row. This is an extremely annoying issue and a big time-waster, so I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me resolve it.
Here is a screenshot of the screen it keeps me in until I reboot. The empty gray box with the circle in it is Stack Smash/Gecko OS. Not supposed to see it for even a second.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
Wait, if you already have Homebrew installed, what do you need Stack Smash for?

What are you talking about? I don't have Homebrew which is why I use Stack Smash.
Then how do you run Gecko?
I do the same thing. You can run gecko through the stage builder without homebrew.
This might sound crazy but I use to get the all the time, specially when I tested out my hacks in-game.
But ever since I now have a background image for my Gecko OS loader, it never messes up.
Ohhhh sorry, I was not aware that method existed.

I usually run into these problems if I add new hacks.
I have a background for mine, too.

Hmm...this is quite brain-racking. so how exactly do you use this method??

No one at all is talking about that.
It's simply a mystery glitch nobody know why it happens.

Why did you link me to Balanced Brawl? I use Brawl Minus. Not Plus, not Balanced, not P:M even though that's not ready yet.
Anyway, it's a mystery glitch, huh? I see.
BBrawl comes premade for smash stack. Its simply the best resource for it anywhere, most of the B- team use Configurable USB (stinking pirates!) or homebrew. Not one other B- community member uses it that i know of. They just added it as an afterthought and for passing around at tourney's.

So I'm really using BBrawl and not Minus?
You know what, thats a good idea to not install Homebrew and only use Smash stack for hacks. You don't void your worenty. =P
Coooool...
im guessing this problem has something to do with Smash Stack, Gecko can be a little problamatic with it.
My suggestions:
1. If u feel really brave, downgrade your wii and use BannerBomb or any other useable mod
2. If that scares you, switch from Gecko to Riivolution, it does the same thing as Gecko, except its faster and can replace more things.

Nope I'm not hacking into my Wii and risk frigging it up. It's bad enough I got a message saying my system files where corrupt while trying to install Smash Stack. God knows what will happen if I hard-mod my Wii...

Well I am a dumbass with this stuff lol. Seriously though; I am. Took me an unbelievable long time to get Smash Stack to work, and I still make some retarded noob mistakes with it today.
Well, to load Stack Smash, you must use a GC controller.
That is all.

I do use a GC controller. Platinum Wave Bird at that.
By the way this only really happens after I edit a file in my SD card or add a hack or anything. I'm experiencing this problem again as I type this. This will be my second reboot now.
No you don't, I use a normal wiimote just fine. And no its simply that you are using B- set up as balanced so it works with stack smash. And I find it elegant, not to mention you can take it to your friends house.
And it violates your EULA (user liscense agreement) But it leaves no trace whatsoever, So I recommend using it with bad power full juju like Chuck Norris psa. If your wii dies, Nintendo has no evidence of hacks and if they update it, it still works.

DO NOT, I REPEAT,
DO NOT, EVER DOWNGRADE YOUR WII.
....unless of course you want your Wii to be a paperweight.
Yes, agreed.
The reason I use SS is so i never have to deal with updates, its unpatchable.

Yeah. I use it because it's safer and, like you said, no traces will be left behind, won't ruin your Wii, and you can take it to a friend's. Only downside is it has so many limits.
It only has the limits of gecko and the lack of custom stages, but stuff on the vault is better

True.
