I use riivolution, so all my CSPs are in the common5.pac.

you open up common5.pac in Brawlbox. then all your portraits are in sc_selcharacter_en>char_bust_tex_lz77

then you just find which MiscData[] is your character and replace the corresponding color with your custom CSP.

hope that helps.

anybody else know what might be the problem? i only wanna downgrade if it's necessary...

are you running a downgraded wii?

Anyone else know what might be causing the problem?

could it be my system firmware? i think i'm on 4.2... would downgrading help?

okay i replaced them and i still can't load any of the 3 stages...there must be something wrong with my riivolution setup...i used the one from this thread: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=262863

do these support the .rels directly in the stages folder? (ex. SD>brawlmod>stages>st_earth.rel

if you think it'll help...thanks a lot!

sorry i had the names wrong...they're named correctly on my card, but i mixed it up in that post...lol

So a full list of what I dowloaded, what i named it, and where I put it:

First off, everything is in the folder i said before SD>brawlmods>stages

Grand Stadium from this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?337bpm5e8x3g8xu

named them STGDXPSTADIUM.pac and st_dxpstadium.rel (to replace Poke Stadium 1)

Coeum from here: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=4345&Moderated=All

named STGEARTH.pac and st_earth.rel

endless heights from here: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=4579&Moderated=All

named STGDONKEY.pac ans st_donkey.rel

konoha sqr(don't know where i got it from).
named STGFAMICON.pac and st_famicon.rel

okay so all my files are located in SD>brawlmods>stages

there are several that aren't working, but just for an example I have: st_dxpstadium.rel and STGDXPSTADIUM.pac

that's Pokemon Stadium 2. and the replacement files all came in a download for the Grand Stadium. (I can give you a link if it helps, but didn't think it was necessary...). Now when I go to click Poke Stadium 2 in the SSS (No custom SSS btw). It will start to load, then the light on the Wii game slot will stop flashing and it doesn't do anything...The only way to get out of this is for me to hold the power button and restart it.

I'm using the .rels that came with the stage files.

Hey all. I'm using Riivolution with the same codes as in the FAQ section. (modlauncher.xml). I leave off the _en for all files and they work fine.

I'm having an issue right now regarding .rel files and stages. Anytime I get a stage that has a .rel file, I'm supposed to put them in SD>brawlmods>stages. If I do this for the .pac and .rel with proper names when I go to select the stage it freezes my Wii. Stages with just the .pac work fine.

Please help so I can get my stages working! Thanks

Also, are there any guides out there on making the strap menu screens?

anyone got a good guide on how to make strap loader screen?

also, i've got the grand stadium stage texture over pictochat and it didn't work. game would freeze and wouldn't load when I select pictochat. so i switched it to pokemon stadium and the same thing happened. any idea how to fix this?

btw, here the file i'm talking about: http://www.mediafire.com/?337bpm5e8x3g8xu

everything's working now! thanks a lot!

do i have the version to where I always have to have the _en on file names? or does it matter with my codes?

i used these files and instructions:

Frequently Asked Questions


Q: How do I launch texture hacks/codes on a SDHC (over 3GB) or USB drive? Hide
If you're launching it from Gecko OS, texture hacks, stage textures/hacks, Brawl+, Brawl-, Balanced Brawl, etc. will not work from SDHC cards in Brawl because Brawl's programming doesn't read SDHC cards, but will launch Gecko OS codes.

If you do want texture hacks, Brawl+ or any type of code-related goodness from a SD card, SDHC card, or even a USB drive, google for "Riivolution". Riivolution will let you replace any file from your SD/SDHC/USB, as well as run codes.

1) Download Riivolution. Again, I emphasize using Google for it. Extract it to your SD card or USB drive.

2) Make a folder in the root of your SD card/USB drive called "riivolution". You should have "apps" and "riivolution" in the root. Inside "riivolution", download codehandler.bin from here and place it in the "riivolution" folder.

3) Download modlauncher.xml and save it inside the "riivolution" folder.

4) Launch Riivolution from your favorite loader. It should bring up the options for Ocarina, but everything should be preset for you to hit "Launch".

It should look similar to this:


So, you may be asking, where do I place Brawl+, Brawl- or even my regular brawl codes? My texture hacks? Look no further:
