Title: Riivolution not loading through Smash Stack [SOLVED]
Post by: (specter) on January 18, 2011, 03:03:15 PM
I load it up from the stage builder, it gets to the black screen but it says it can't find boot.elf, USBGecko or codes, even though I have all of them. I'm pretty sure I have them in their right folders, too.


On my SD card root I have the following folders: 'brawlmods', 'riivolution' and 'private'.

In my 'brawlmods' folder is 'brawlminus' and 'texture' folders. The 'brawlminus' folder has the GCT and textures has all the 'pf' stuff.

In my 'riivolution' folder I have "boot.elf", "icon.png", "meta.XML", "modlauncher.XML" and "readme.txt".


So what's the problem here? What did I do wrong?

Isn't the boot.elf for Riivo supposed to be on the root of your SD if you're using Smash Stack?

I don't know the guide Fliptocat gave me said all of the Riivolution stuff needs to be in a folder called 'riivolution' on your SD root, and that's just what I did. No one ever told me if I had to do it differently with Smash Stack.

Anyway, I was just about to try having all the Riivolution stuff on my root before you answered. I'll come back with an answer after I go test it right now.

Ok it works now but none of my hacks get loaded. It's just normal Brawl.... Also nothing appeared on the Riivolution menu, either. Only option I had was to launch the game.

I just thought boot.elf on the root of the SD was what Smash Stack loaded.

Anyways, I'm not sure about that. It could be a large number of problems. Maybe the XML needs to be on the root as well?

 I tried but never could get Riivo to work, it always said it worked but nothing happened, so I switched back to Gecko. Not my area of expertise, sorry. I'm sure there's someone who uses Riivo that can help.

I have BionicSonic's XML and an XML called "meta" on my root. Riivo works it just doesn't load any codes.

Oh. I see. Fliptocat was the one who suggested I should use it.

^Probably means that your XML isn't functioning properly....... What is "meta" for? Lemme think...... Sometimes Riivo didn't read my SD card so try it again. Otherwise..... lemme see exactly what's in the riivolution folder. wait, I have an idea. Do you have a folder called config the the riivo folder?

Well I tried it again and Riivolution's menu is still empty.

I don't know what "meta" is for -- it came with my download.

No I have no configs. I should've known that's what it could've been, but I just thought you said Riivo doesn't need those. Also, it has to be a folder? Not the actual config.dat/config.txt?

Gimme a sec, I'll upload my Riivo folder, try that when I finish uploading.

Wait, this is weird... I just looked in my SD card and it moved all my Riivo stuff off my root into my riivolution folder and gave me a "config" folder with "RSBE" in it.

Can't you just use the HackMii Installer to install the HBC?  That's pretty much the only time the Smash Stack hack is used.

Yes I used your folder but the menu is still empty...

How are you loading it? I don't think it supports USB Loaders, if that's what you're using.
Wait, one more thing.... Do you see a little... I don't know how to describe it, it's a number on the top of the screen that lets you scroll through XMLs..... see anything like that? :/

No I use an actual Brawl disc I bought from Target March 8th, 2008, or whatever day of March it was released.

No, I see nothing of the sort. Here is a picture of my Riivo screen:

This is annoying. :/
Like I said before, it means fr whatever reason (SD card isn't detected, XML isn't correct) The XML's failed to read. :/ I'm honestly not sure how to fix that. Oh, and did you get a new SD card?

I think it's probably an XML issue. It can detect my SD card because it said it once before.

Yeah I just bought one today from Kmart. It's a blue 2GB SanDisk SD card. It was $8.99.

Didn't work for me. Riivo is buggy.

So only a few lucky people get to use it?

Nope
It's annoying to set up though >.>
Mind summing up what you've done so far to try and get it to work via stacksmash?

It is. You should've seen one of my conversations with Fliptocat on a different thread -- we talked for pages on how to help me set it up.

Well I downloaded Riivo from here (http://rvlution.net/wiki/Riivolution) as Fliptocat instructed me to.

I acquainted myself with the Smash Boards Riivo file placement guide and set everything up exactly as it said; I have all of the 'pf' folders in brawlmods/textures and my GCT is in brawlmods/brawlminus.

I have 'modlauncher.XML' in my 'riivolution' folder which is on my SD card root.

All in all, Riivolution loads up, but it doesn't find any codes to display on its menu, thus leaving me to launch a hackless Brawl.

Name of gct file?
Also do you have codehabdler.bin?

Same exact GCT I used with Gecko/Smash Stack -- RSBE01.gct.

Yeah I had codehandler when I used Fliptocat's Riivolution set-up that he uploaded for me to use -- still an empty Riivolution menu.

Hmm... weird then
I would suggest installing it as a channel and see if it works but you don't want to install anything on your wii which is understandable

I don't want the channel that's the whole reason I'm using Smash Stack to run Riivo so I don't have to install it on my console. And the reason I don't want to do that is because I don't want to damage my Wii. My SD card already got killed from using it to hack so I'm not installing jack on my console after that.

Guys I got it to work thanks to Super_Smash_Kid of Smash Boards. All I had to do was place my 'modlauncher.XML' in my 'riivolution' folder, and now Riivo found my hacks and they all work.
