First, I want to apologize in advance if there's already a topic here with this same idea... I've gone through 20+ pages and seen nothing like this...

Alrighty then, let's get started...

Like most people on this forum and around the internet, I'm having a difficult and quite frustrating time trying to get my Character Portraits for the Character Select Screen to work... I've honestly read dozens of topics and more posts than I care to count and I got nowhere... I have Gecko OS, but I use Riivolution 1.04.. Also, I don't use ANY custom screen pack and I did not rearrange anything on the CSS... All I care to do is edit the Character Icon Pictures and Character Select Portraits... that being said... EVERYONE seems to have a problem here or there that SEEM really similar, but the help offered on posts doesn't help everyone...

One person might say, "Well make sure you're common5.pac is in the pf/system folder." and someone might reply, "and make sure it does or does not have _en at the end"

Some people said to reduce the size of the common5.pac and try that or if you're using Gecko OS to put the sc_selcharacter.pac in pf/menu2...

Others said to make sure the photos were the right size and all this other stuff you can check using BrawlBox..

I just want to say.. I've done ALL of that... I've read just about every tutorial that I've seen people link in their messages offering help and followed all the advice I've read perfectly and for some reason, I still get nothing... and all my character textures and stage textures work...

So my idea is this... Everyone who has WORKING custom CSP's... instead of posting what you think my problem could be (I do appreciate the help though), could you kindly post the following...

1. What version of Gecko OS or Riivolution you're using.
2. If you're using Riivolution, what hooks (or whatever those things are called) do you have enabled or disabled.
3. The size and EXACT location of your common5.pac or sc_selcharacter.pac (name all paths starting from the drive your SD Card is located in, all the way to the .pac file you use).
4. Whether your .pac file does or doesn't have an "_en" or someother suffix after the name.
5. What version of BrawlBox you use (not sure why, but some people say that matters).
6. Whether or not you're using a custom screen pack.
7. If you're using an SD or SDHC card, and what size it is.

I may be forgetting something so I'll update the list if necessary, but I think if anyone posts all of these things, then people could mimic the look of someone else's WORKING SD Card folders..

They might see something they haven't done, or they might delete what they have and try X's collection of what he or she uses and see if that works for them as well.

I don't want to sound pushy, so I apologize if I do, but I REALLY wanna get this to work and I think this method could help many others too
