First off, it's been a few months since I worked on modifying the game at all. Thus, whatever mistake I'm making is probably glaringly obvious, but I just don't know what it is and so I turn to you guys for some help.

Simply put, I finally finished gathering stages to max out my roster and placed them in the empty slots I had remaining. Unfortunately, all the new stages I gathered aren't functioning, causing my game to freeze up before the match starts. I checked the codes needed and everything is legit. I triple checked the .rels and while I think I have the right ones, I think they may be the problem. Below are a list of the stages (and/or links to them). Could someone tell me what .rels I'll need or provide them for me? Because I'm not sure if the ones I have aren't good or if the stages can't be used or what. Any help would be appreciated.

The other one that won't work is some alternate version of New Pork where you play on the right side of the stage and the rest is covered by a giant iceberg. I think I got it in Mewtwo2000's stage pack, but I can't find it here anywhere. Been using it over Summit, but I think it started over New Pork.

And, on an unrelated note, the music for my GreenGreens stage keeps messing up. It will start to play random sounds and then play a distorted version of Kirby's music as the background. I tried defragging the SD card, but nothing changed. The stage I have over that is:

I'm more concerned about the broken stages than the music, but I thought I'd throw all the bugs I'm trying to fix up at once. Again, i'd appreciate any help you guys give. Thanks a bunch!

Problem: I cannot get my portraits on the Character Selection Screen to work. I can get the results screen and the battle portraits to work. But not the CSPs. I've tried several different tutorials (two of which were the simplest to follow) and the results were fail. I'd like to solve this and then maybe figure out how to do stage selection portraits at some point. But this comes first.

Here is another tutorial I attempted to follow for CSPs... still failed results, but included for completion's sake.

I did that using Brawlbox but that didn't seem to work either. What do you mean by extract?

Hey there. I've been hacking my game like crazy with all sorts of new stages and costumes. While I know which replacements are on which costumes and stages, I don't have them all memorized and I don't expect friends playing to do so either. So I'd love to get my CSPs working and eventually get some SSPs working as well. I've already tried my hand at getting these things to work... here is what's happened so far:

Attempt 1: I look up video tutorials online and the one I used was

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keeU5Dwuikw" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keeU5Dwuikw</a>

. I followed the instructions perfectly for a couple of Sonic costumes and a couple of Marth costumes. When I tested them out in game, they didn't show up on the CSS. They did, however, show up on the results screen after a match but they were blurred, segmented... they didn't look like they were supposed to (to sum it up). I figured I would try again.

Attempt 2: through some googling, I found a discussion by Hakumen about CUPASH and he had a different version that apparently worked better (I didn't know if that's what I had to begin with or not). So I downloaded and tried again. Same results.

Attempt 3: On the http://brawlhacks.wikia.com/wiki/The_Giant_Page_of_FAQ page (at the part where it talks about changing brawl portraits), it had some instructions on how to do it with Brawlbox (which I had already installed). So I tried this method and it failed again with no change from the previous results.

So, I'm at a here on what to do. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong or if there is something I'm not being told here? I don't even want to think about how difficult it's going to be when I start working on the SSPs after this. Any help would be appreciated.

So I downloaded the stageswitcher program to get .rels and move whatever stages to wherever.

However, I'm having a few stages that won't work with me. I'm figuring there isn't a way around them, but I'll check here and hope I'm wrong (again).

First, can you switch stages over smashville (stgvillage)? Every time I have tried to place a battlefield stage or FD stage (using the appropriate .rels) I get the base of smashville surrounded by complete darkness. Is it just the stage or what?

Second, I attempted to place the Black Mesa Mod for ShadowMosesIsland (stgmetalgear) over a different stage. The game froze. I had the appropriate .rels and I'm stumped. Is it the opposite issue as smashville where MGS stages can't overwrite other stages? If they can, what do I need to do?

Third, from Mewtwo2000's pack (which contained the Mushroom Kingdom 64 stage) I tried placing said stage over the Mushroomykingdom (stgmariopast). It froze and I suspect it is something to do with the fact there are two different stages. However, I have no idea how to go around that and I'd love to hear some suggestions or advice.

that's all I have as these are the only three big issues I have. The other is some stage that IS designed for rainbowcruise (stgdxcruise) freezing the game whenever I try to load it. I figure the stage is just not worth it.

Anyway, thanks for any help or information you give.

Thank you very much. Hopefully this works when Other M is released.

Here's the deal. Metroid Other M is coming out at the end of August and I REALLY wanna get that. The problem is (as you all know) most new games from Nintendo force updates to the Wii Hardware. This means that Nintendo's latest update for the Wii will have to be downloaded and remove all of my Brawl-Minus information as well as all other Brawl-Hacks.

What I want to know is if there is a way around this yet or not? I want to get Other M because it looks awesome, but I don't want to lose the ability to customize my SSBB game. Any help?

I added custom music to my Warioware stage (normal stage, no changes or anything). The problem is that whenever a mini-game comes up, the music stops. Then when the stage returns to normal, the music RESTARTS. I don't want it to restart and I'd like to prevent it from stopping altogether if possible. Does anyone know how to fix this?
