Title: What is the best way to use hacks on an emulator?
Post by: HEY_IT_IS_ME on August 02, 2016, 09:29:40 AM
Currently I am rebuilding the ISO with whatever hacks I want to be put in the game, but this has it's limitations. The most important of which is that, to my knowledge, I can't use custom css's and stage selects. Also, a lot of gecko codes don't function correctly when I use them with brawl builder.

The way I do it is I use WiiScrubber, load the ISO, and then replace individual files; it's extremely slow if you're replacing a massive amount of files, but the only real limits to it are that you can't use Gecko codes, BrawlEx, or anything that wouldn't be an original file but edited.

Actually depends on what you are doing. if you have under 2 gigs of hacks you can create a virtual SD.raw image file. drop it in /users/wii/SD.Raw. under settings make sure that the SD setting is checked. you can then run it just like a 2 gig SD in the wii. (dolphin is hard coded to only read that much)

If you have more files then 2gigs you will need to edit the ISO to add them in. i believe there are a few tools that replace the outdated wiiscrubber. like wiims ISO tool, or partitionbuilder 1.1 (i think thats the right version) can rebuild an ISO faster.

Currently I am using Brawl Builder, but I think I will start using a custom sd card. Thanks
