The Complete N00B's Guide to Brawl Hacking

[tjmsrubegoldberg]

The Xml file for Riivolution doesnt work :( sorry to be a troll, thanks a lot for this ;D

Which one? The one for the Brawl file loading or Ocarina? As far as I know, I haven't had any other complaints about this. Are you sure it's the XML? Is it in the right location? Is Riivolution itself working?

No, i mean i cant download it. When i go to the site, it just stays blank

Which one are you trying to download? The site may have been down for a little while. Have you tried to redownload it?

Hi, noob question right here.

i have a PAL 4.3 wii (yes, i update it T.T) it's hacked, with cIOS 249 with IOS 37 as base (REV 19)

so i installed everything i need homebrew, gecko 1.9, etc

my problem is this: when i try to go to the Album (for brawl installation) my wii crashes. =/

PS: i followed this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVDttrE6CtQ

thank you and sorry my Bad english

What are you trying to do? If you already have the Homebrew Channel installed, you can run Gecko OS through that. What kind of SD Card do you have? What are you trying to do by going to the Album? I'm not sure I understand.

B. Riivolution
This app works like the File Patch code, but it can be used for any game and any file. The only downside is that it is a little more complicated than the File Patch code. You can either use this or the File Patch code to load files for Brawl.
*Note* For Riivolution, ALL files must be named EXACTLY as they are on the ISO. (Ex. For the file "mu_menumain_en.pac", you must remove the "_en" to use it with the File Patch code, but you must keep it to use it with Riivolution.

1. Download the latest version of Riivolution from here: http://rvlution.net/riivolution.zip.
2. Extract it to somewhere on your computer.
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.)
4. Copy the "riivolution" folder out of the "apps" folder on your computer and paste it into the "apps" folder on your SD Card.
5. Create a folder on the root of your SD Card called "riivolution" and copy and paste the File Patch XML into there.
6. If you want to use codes along with Riivolution, follow the steps below. (Skip to step 14 if you've already followed the instructions for Gecko OS above.)
7. Create a folder on the root of your SD Card called "codes".
8. Download the Code Manager here: http://www.mediafire.com/?e2dzz7zdmcds252.
9. Extract it somewhere on your computer.
10. Open the Code Manager. Look to where it says "Game ID". Fill this in with the ID of the game you are making the codes list for. (Ex. Brawl's ID is RSBE01 for NTSC-U, RSBP01 for PAL, and RSBJ01 for NTSC-J) Go to where it says "Game Name" and type in the name of the game.
11. Find the codes that you want to use. A couple of good sites to check out are http://geckocodes.org/ and http://board.gscentral.org/forum.php.
12. To add a code, click on "Add a code/comment/category" and type in a name for the code. It should appear in bold. Click on it, then copy and paste the code into where it says "Code contents". Make sure to click "Store modifications" after you paste in the code.
13. When you are done adding codes, go to File > Save as TXT File. Then, make sure your SD Card is in the computer and click "Export to GCT". Select the drive for your SD Card and click on "Store".
14. Go to here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=6124ef087d03b5a9819d3eb78bf1479d79557004672710560cf82e11d2b2bd8465b36d064e4faac5a2a7740380de0aff and download the file for your disc region.
15. Extract it onto your computer and move both files to the "riivolution" folder on the root of your SD Card.

Are you using Riivolution or the File Patch Code? If you're using the PAL version of the File Patch Code, it's apparently buggy with CSPs and the like. If you're using Riivolution, mu_menumain needs to be named "mu_menumain_en.pac" and placed in "RSBP > pfmenu2" and common5.pac needs to be named "common5_en.pac" and placed in "pf > system".

If you're using the File Patch Code, I'd suggest switching to Riivolution since the PAL File Patch is a little limited.

Whenever I try to make a new .brstm file with BrawlBox, the program only lets me work with the first 1.65 seconds. Obviously, this won't do, so how can I get the program to read data for the whole song?
