Do ya think it's the characters or the pcs / pacs? Possibly corruption or something? Usually it goes ERRRRRR when I pick my Samus <_<;

I can play songs in my music without any problem. It's just when I get a match ready it'll go ERRRRRRRRRRRRR and freeze at random.

And I'm sure I made the BRSTMs correctly since I followed your guide to making some.

If it only freezes when you pick Pokemon Trainer, that implies there's something wrong with one of your Pokemon Trainer textures or your CSPs or something, not the music... I'm pretty sure the game doesn't load the music until you've picked your stage, so unless I'm mistaken, there's no music-related reason for it to freeze before that -- unless there's something wrong with your menu music.

How are you loading your stuff? Riivolution, SD Loader, ISO...?

That's the thing, it only goes ERRRRRR when I enable music hacks.
I use the NTSC Version of brawl and I load my hacks through Gecko.
(Codes are in the gct. format)
I use texture hacks, colored shields, some stage hacks, 8-minute + 3 Stock default settings, a slight arrangement of character boxes in the character selection screen, endless replay recording time with the Nicknames shown, No-restricting camera, and that's about it.

From what I've noticed the game will go ERRRRRRRRRRR when I select certain characters. (Before I click them or after.)
Like now every time I click the default color of Samus the game goes ERRRR>
(I'm using a Master Cheef color hack which makes Samus green and I have both the PCS and the PAC file for all of Samus's colors.)
Then there's times where the game will freeze during the 3-....2--...1... ERRRRRRRRR.
I'm thinking it's a character's fault or something.

My only questions are if the "FitMotion.pacs or the Fit(Name).pacs" might effect the loading of the game. (Most of them are just color swaps for certain character's weapons.)
My last question would be if I only need the "PAC" files for the characters with Transformations? (I've noticed that if I add pac files to other characters I can see the texture hacks outside of Offline Versus. I.E Subspace, Online, and in Multi-man.)
Is this a good idea to do or does it also increase weary-ness to where the likely hood of it going ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and freeze up?

Perhaps it's the texture for the character? Does the game read the texture before the game even starts via selection screen?

YES. Ceck that you haven't mistaken a PAC for a PCS or vice-versa, or made an error in naming this character.

After 30 minutes of playing every stage went well except when I picked Pokeman trainer and switched out Charizard for Squirtle in mid battle. That's when the ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR struck.

Then it's a problem with Squirtle, simply.
Make sure you have both a PAC and a PCS for each Pokemon texture/vertex.

I've checked if I made any errors in naming the character and they're all named correctly.
characters that SHOULD have pcs and pacs have them. (Samus / PKMN Trainer etc.)


It's just at times it would still freeze and go ERRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Maybe I should get rid of some textures or something? { shrugs. }

+Update: Played brawls 3 times on Battlefield, Final, and Yoshi's Island with Mario and Manondorf. (Each have texturesand the stages have textures and it hasn't crashed yet. But when I go back to the character select screen and I selected a character and quickly went through the colors it randomly went ERRRRR on one of them)

- Update 4:09PM Pacific Time: During the character selection load I've noticed my "Fox", "Kirby" and "Toon Link" selections would make the game freeze after scrolling / selecting these characters. I've found out what it what and it was apparently the Fit/Motion files along with a few Textures that were buggy. After 30 minutes of playing every stage went well except when I picked Pokeman trainer and switched out Charizard for Squirtle in mid battle. That's when the ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR struck.

Soul Zero might be right and I do have the gameconfig txt (outside of my main folders) on my SD card. Dunno if that's the case or not.
(I doubt it's my BRSTMs since I did use the guide listed here about it. I used goldwave and followed that numbered rule thing to loop music.)
My highest MB'd song would be over 12MB. I'm unsure if space is a factor to the freezing.

@ Miacis Kusanagi: I'll try checking characters to see if it might be the characters. My Wii only freezes with the ERRRRR whenever I apply music hacks into the game. I doubt it's the stages and it might be the characters. I'll try playing on the music hack levels with a simple character like Kirby and Mario. I'll then attempt to play it with one's like Charizard, Samus, Zelda, or Boozer.


-I haven't tried swapping music from one stage to the other yet. I might try it though to see if that's the case.
- The music does NOT speed or overlap in anyway. It plays at a nornal rate as it should.
- I've tried playing the title screen music for a minute and it plays. I'm currently on My Music listening to the songs that have BRSTMs. I can click on them and listen to them for lengthy periods with no freezing.

What version and method of loading hacks do you use? Pal doesn't have the FilePatch-Code 3.5 and should use Riivolution if they want to use custom music.

I'm pretty sure I have the NTSC or w/e USA copy of brawl. The method I use is the coding provided on the smashboards website. I'm not sure what exactly is on in Brawl (hackwise) besidess having an altered character select screen, textures, endless replay saves with the names, defaulted 3-stock 8 minutes etc, Music, and so forth. I can post the copy of the RSBE01 code file that I have if that helps any.

Hi, I'm some-what new to hacking and I've done my own music hacks for brawl.
Usually when I play the game with the loaded hacks the game will play normally. After awhile when I'd select a stage or what-not the game would freeze and go ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Is there anyway to use Music hacks without making the game freeze along with the irritating ERRRR noise?
It only does this when I use music hacks and nothing else.

Is there a solution to this like a code? Or do I input something wrong? I really want to use music hacks along with textures so that I could enjoy brawl with the music I'd think would fit well with some of the stages.

Thanks if you can help.

No one can help with my music hack problem? =\

I'm some-what new here also but I've been using hacks for Brawl for quite awhile.
I got the texture hacks down my only concern is how to use the whole Music thing allowing you to hear your own looped music on given areas of the game.

I've followed the instructions doing all my loops in Goldwave (while following that numbered loop rule.) My ONLY problem is that at times when I play brawl with music hacks on the game would freeze and go, ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRR. Usually it'll freeze right when I click a stage or before we even pick characters. (Usually from the last time I played with texture hacks + music hacks on it would always go ERRRRRRRRRRR with PKMN Trainer.) Is there a way to use the Music Hack function without having the game freeze with the ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR noise?
