hmm. thanks. those are a few reasons i thought of as well. i tried to avoid as many as i could.
I'm using Riivolution and i turned "hook" off, it seems to have fixed almost everything. Is there any reason i should turn hook on? and if so, is there any specific setting that is best?

I'm currently running texture mods, stage mods, sound mods, and character mods. All the mods work fine when i test them individually, but when i put them all together and run the game it occasionally freezes. Never at one certain time, never on one certain stage or with any certain character, just very random.
So i was wondering if there was any advice as to why this may be happening or how to fix it, or just if anyone has a good setup that doesn't ever freeze. Any help would be appreciated.
