The Complete N00B's Guide to Brawl Hacking

[Todd_Ingram]

SO, if I have all the files on my SD card where I need them for a character hack, do I just put it in the wii and boot up Brawl or do I have to do something with Code Manager/the Homebrew channel first? I'm not planning on using any codes...

yup, launch gecko (and use file patch code)

or via riivolution (which you can install it AND beyond's XML in one click with my BFC)

Hi, I'm new here.
I did exactly like tutorial says, everything is good until i turn on SSBB... There are no hacks in here! My imported characters aren't there. I'm PAL region. Could you help me? :(

This will be a great guide for me. But no offense, telling people to downgrade their Wii is the worst advice ever. Here's what WiiBrew says about downgrading:
"WiiBrew recommends that you run the latest version of the HackMii Installer and then optionally update your Wii to 4.3 using Nintendo's official updater.

Only update using the official update procedure. Downgrading or installing patched updates is unsupported, dangerous, and may permanently brick your Wii." Also, 4.2 and 4.3, as far as I've seen, don't affect brawl hacking at all. The only thing is that you must use the newest version of Riivolution because older versions were blocked.

Where can I find a pac3 file? I want a Blastoise-sized Blastoise over squirtle

pf > menu2 > sc_selcharacter.pac

I don't have this for my T-rex selection slot.

Only gives me fitmotion.pac and char.pacs and no sc)selcharacter.pac

Hi! I had been using a NTSC iso with USB Loader GX and ocarina and it suddenly stopped working. Codes like extended CSS and no-limit camera work, but textures don't. I tried re-downloading and re-making the .gct and redownliading the game but still doesn't work. SD is not locked. Paths in my SD are ok and filenames/foldernames are alright. Anyone knows what can I do?

reinstate the NTSC file patch code - textures loader

reinstate the NTSC file patch code - textures loader

I had already tried that. I realised this doesn't have much to do with the guide, so I created a new topic for it.

Actually, Smash Stack CAN install the Homebrew Channel.

Wow...

With the 4.3 update, if I install homebrew using LetterBomb does it still work to play super smash bros brawl mods with the gecko18 loaded up through the homebrew channel?
