How do I install CSS and such?

[Malokenic]

Okay...so my friend got me into brawl hacking when he introduced it to me, and I've figured out how to at least get my character's textures and movesets changed. However, one thing eludes me...but let me start from the beginning:

When I first started downloading hacks, I downloaded this Goku hack that replaces Captain Falcon and it came with PREMADE brss or whatever the files are that change the look of captain's portraits and such within the game. However, I still get the default Captain Falcon Character Selection picture. I know that there are Goku character selection pictures as I've seen them in Brawl Box (Which I don't know how to use). He also came with some custom sounds such as his actual voice but these aren't working either!


I even downloaded a Shadow the Hedgehog over DK mod that included custom pics for shadow, however all that works is his moveset and appearance; none of his custom portraits or voices work.


That was about a month ago. NOW I just started downloading hacks again and came across this hack of Nephenee from Fire Emblem that I want to use.

And it came with SO MANY pictures to replace Character selection portraits, battle portraits, stock portraits, etc. However I don't know how to use them! Can someone explain to me how to use these so music, voices, and portraits show up correctly?

If it matters, I use GeckOS for my hacks.

First of all Gecko OS Does not replace sound/voice. For sound effects and voices you will have to make the switch to Riivolution. (I just recently made this switch because I was getting sick of my shadow sounding like Donkey Kong and many others.) Aboout the CSS I would go Here: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/#http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/?Page=1&Order=Downloads%20DESC&Type=Misc%-Menu%&Moderated=All and pick a CSS that doesn't go under the bottom half of the screen (This one is my favorite: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=24145 ) and then just look to this tutorial for moar help.

Is it ONLY for sound and voice? Cause Gecko OS is letting me change stage music.

Also, I know I probably can't do this but I'm gonna ask it anyway:

Say a PSA file is made for a specific character, say...Marth. If you change FitMarth00.pcs/pac to...say...FitMario00.pcs/pac...will it work? Probably not but its worth an ask. There are some Fire Emblem characters I want to get but I'd have so little to choose from since a lot of them use the same character...

I meant how to add in character portraits in battle and stock lives and such.

Yeah, Gecko can change music from the game but not the sounds and voices.
For the PSA stuffs you probably could but you would have to use .rel files which I have no idea how to use, sorry.
Ohhh! Battle Portraits! Hmm. This vid will probably halp. :3 By the way, I'd check out this dude's channel. He has a lot of really nice instruction vids.

I actually figured it out after actually watching your first video. I didn't watch it at first cause I thought it was just for the main menu but it was for much more lol. Thanks though.
