Wasnt sure of anywhere else to post this... Sorta considering making the switch to this riivolution method to brawl hacking because of the few advantages is has over the original way (being able to swap out voices, change intro vid.. and more? I assume..)

How different is the process compared to the "regular" way of Brawl hacking? (dunno what my way is refered to as..)
Will it still use BrawlBox? How about my CSP's and all that jazz?

I don't like change...  :af:

..oh, and is it true that Riivolution requires to read from a retail disc? Cause thats pretty retarded if so.
Playing brawl hacks from my usb reduces freezing my 99%.

Idk, I'm still using Gecko OS because I don't know if RiiVolution reads codes or .rels.

usbloader, i live in the uk, so the only brawl i can legally play is pal(which i do own btw), which doesnt have any of the good codes ported to it, and require for you to make your own rels

The one thing that makes Riiv better to me is that it doesn't start whining about file-size limits on the files. Aside that.. not much is different between Riiv and Gecko that i know of.

I use the USB Loader anyway so i use neither.

 Um, I can't use Riivo since my Wii is to up-dated =_=

Riivolution does load codes and rels, you need the codehandler.bin and for rels just put in module folder or stages folder like on beyond you's its straight foward from gecko os :af:

Hope this helps you:)

Riivo. I love seeing new cutscenes and hearing new sounds of characters.

huh what do you mean, I'm running the latest wii firmware and I can use Riivolution :P
I don't see why that's your problem...>.<

Meh, Riivo seems to complicated.

Really No Is Easy :D

idk lol

Actually, if you use your own  XML files, you can just dump all your hacks into one file without having to use the private folder and all the other folders in-between, if your lazy I guess. How in any way is that complicated?

The whole transition process, then adding stuff after you've transitioned.

use this version of Riivo
http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=16990

it reads Gecko OS codes.

no, because my Wii has an SD card stuck in teh disk slot, so my Brawl disk cant be pou tin, so I use an ISO, and use WiiFlow

@Neku - How the hell did you get an SD card stuck in the disk slot?

My gecko isnt working for some reason I hve my folders setup I am also using the Riivolution that works like gecko both both worked before but now idk know any suggestions

back it up on your pc, format the SD then put the files back and try again.

I will do and one more thing I hav a movie on my riivo I was playing the game fine, but when I exited the game to rewatch my movie it froze im not sure if my codes are conflicting or not

Okay I reformatted but my textures are not appearing what is the folder setup so that gecko can read my gct file

pf/fighter/*insertcharacterhere*

my custom css and other stuff are not working as well its like gecko says its reading codes, but when the game plays its completely normal

sc_selcharacter and selmap files go in pf/menu2 while mu_menumain and sc_title goes in the folder: pfmenu2

It reads EVERYTHING. It replaces more files than Gecko OS.

What do you mean? ?_? Riivo works on 4.3

Just get Riivolution v1.04
-----------------------------
Riivo isn't complicated to setup.
I set it up in about 10 minutes. :s

The codes should be in "SD/codes" i believe (replace SD with the drive your SD is in)

Does anyone know if the tracklist modifier V1 code is needed for SSS expansion because it freezes my main menu

that code isn't needed, its just for music :P

I am switching out my gecko for usb loader I download the zip but it gives me and error message after I click on the Icon it says ios is a stub what should i do

well, its when poritn gike first came out, so i was gunna test it and i was readin gosmething, and i missed the SD card slot. :P

THANKS FOR THE LINK!!
Didn't relize Beyond made something as useful as this :)

Had no problem setting it up.. But I notice my codes from USB loader didnt register? (like an alter'd Character Select screen layout, unlimited camera angle???)
What changes do I need to make to my code.gct file?

i use Gecko OS... i prefer it over Riivo, and for the sounds, i just import them into the brsar file, then import it into the iso file. i find that easier for me to do. as for the videos on the iso, i dont even mess with those cause i dont need a new intro xD

oh hey, I also noticed I wasnt able to get brawl to recongize the OPMovie.thp with Beyond's Riivolution app??
Does it support it? Cause I've seen screenshots of the Menu for Riivoultion on a different site with much more options than what appears on his version..
(http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Lolygon-Z/Tutorials/riivolutioninterface.png)


Beyond You's only has the w/ code option and hook.. thing...
(my gecko OS codes arent recongized either... sooooo, yah)

Riivo was complicated at first, so i wrote my own xml code to make it to my liking.

Its well worth it because of sounds and thps.

I like Riivolution more than Gecko. Mainly because of the sound effects I am able to replace.

USB Loader > All

I still use Gecko OS because

1 - Alternate Stage Loader doesn't work with Riivo
2 - General Loading times are shorter with Gecko
3 - I can eliminate the loading times in startup by moving certain files out of the common.pac files. This doesn't work with Riivo.

I guess riivolution is as superior as I thought it out to be..
Still haven't gotten my OPMovie to work, about ready to give up and go back to running it off from the USB loader...

Lol and I use NeoGamma.. just to be different.
No but, Gecko stopped working on my wii.
So now I use NeoGamma.. and it works perfectly.. if not better actually.

^this
USB loader all the way this like to have Gecko OS  that support .brsar files
(Since file patcher code can work on some USB loaders)
+ work for both PAL and US(if using a US .iso)
just have same SD card setup as Gecko OS but replace .brsar inside the .iso :D

it takes me a logn time if I edit the iso. up to 2 hours jsut to replace sfx. i try not to replace it a lot. so i want to use riivo once i fix my wii

I'm sticking to Gecko, for the time being just so I can have things switched out and replaced quicker, I might try RiiVo later, but I'm not worried about Sounds or Movies for the moment.

I want to use usb loader two but it gives me an error message when I try to install why is this

What do you mean? The USB loader fo sho can change voices and Vids too! for vids you just have to put them in pf/Misc/OPMovie.thp *for the opening* and for sounds just put them in pf/sound/*voicefile*  Note not another folder like the music just straight in sound it is that easy. Just so you know for sure I have mewtwos voice over lucario and it works fine and I use gecko! Then I also have the opining vidieo as the sky high xD. And once again I have GECKO! just fo yo info.


ps. *random comment coming* panel 1  r)
Panel 2  :-*
panel 3 *Girl's father walks in*  :o
Panel 4  :'(
Panel 5 The End! for him at least.

Pss. no idea where that came from.  :af2:

you cant replace sfx in gecko....

Use Wiiscrubber -> custom SFX in Gecko.

well yeah, you can do that. but replacing the .brsar takes forever, with the risk of corrupting the iso. >.<

I use Riivolution and have customized it to the way that I want it (Read: Heavily). Works really well for me, considering I have an 8gb SD card and 6 different modsets on there (Brawl+, Brawl-, BBrawl, P:M, a Machinima setup, and my customized hack setup). On an SD card Riivolution is awesome, but it is incredibly slow if you're running it off USB. On the other hand, if you use USB you can still use the SD card for photos and replays and stages. Also, with this you can replace SFX without using an ISO at all.

The thing is though, the alternate file loader and alternate stage loader doesn't work on Riivolution. I have a couple of theories to try out involving the FPC and such with a lot of directory manipulation, but otherwise it's impossible. Also, the load times are slightly faster, and if you have a USB loader it is much better to go that route. As everyone else has said, if you use a USB loader you can still change SFX in wiiscrubber. If you use a disc with gecko, you're screwed.

So, if you have a working Brawl disc and have a good sized SD card (or a USB drive) like me, Riivolution's probably the way to go and a lot easier to use if you set it up right. If you really want the alternate stage and file loaders or use a USB Loader, Gecko's the answer.

The only thing I dont like aboout Riivo. is the fac tthat you need XML thingys. I used it for NSMBWii before my sd card got stuck, and i was confused. but once i got the xml, thingy, it was great. i replaced songs, changed textures, and everyting. i tried it once on brawl, and i couldnt get ocarina codes to work. that is why i never used it for brawl. now that i cant use discs, i cant lookinto using ocarina codes.
