I just followed the Complete n00bs guide to Brawl hacking (
http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=12169.0) and tried the Homebrew channel and Gecko OS method. When I launched the game from Gecko OS, my character hacks didn't work. I was supposed to have Banjo-Kazooie replace Mario's black clothing skin.

These are the files and their locations in my folders on my SD card. I don't know why they didn't work when I launched the game from Gecko OS. So I decided to try downloading Riivolution instead. There are too many Youtube videos saying different things about how to install Riivolution, so I'm trying to stick the Complete n00bs guide. However, when I get to step #3, I can't figure out how to download the XML file.
3. Download the File Patch XML for Brawl here:
http://rvlution.net/riivolution/images/5/5c/SSBBfiles.xml. (This is so that you can place files where they would go if you were using the File Patch code, since most people provide instructions based on that.)
That was step #3 from the guide. When I go to that link, it doesn't give me any sort of download option. It's just text. I can't continue the steps until I download the XML file, but I can't figure out how to do it. If anyone can help me out with downloading the file, or if someone can tell me what I did wrong with Gecko OS, I'd be very appreciative.
