Need some help making texture hacks work.

[Luccafan]

Hello everyone, I found this place after learning that Brawl texture hacking was a thing and I've been trying to get it all to work.

So far I've manged to install the Homebrew Channel and run Gecko OS, but nothing else is working.

For the record, I have the folders set up in the way that's described in the nooby guide, and have downloaded certain textures, and placed them in the appropriate folder. (fighter/marth, etc.)

After putting the files in the correct folders, I run Gecko, boot up the game with codes working (I tested the overlapping custom stage code to make sure the problem wasn't on Gecko OS's end), I make sure the colors are correct, and go to start a Brawl match.

Now, at this stage the game seems to take a while to load, longer than I remember, so I think it's loading something, but the characters look normal when it all starts. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

For the record, the texture hacks I'm trying to work are "Nostalgia Lyn (GBA - FE) by Amarythe, ds22" and "Nights (journey of dreams) by starwarrior55". (So I'm starting the game with black marth and red pit, according to the help thread.)
