Major problem...

[BlazingBarrager]

Recently I've been having problems with my Brawl. Everytime I try to go to the character select screen, the game either freezes or brings me to a messed up CSS (which by the way isn't a custom one, but the ORIGINAL one) where there are four random slots that, if I go over them, cause the game to freeze. I've tried undoing EVERYTHING that I changed recently and the problem still persists. These are the following changes that I've done:

Took out some characters
Added a new Peach hack
Added some CSPs
Added a new stage
Changed the damage meter
Managed to get the Gecko codes working for Riivilution.

I have undid these changes, removed the common5.pac and info.pac files, tried it with Gecko (I'm currently using Riivilution), and even formated my SD card, but the result is always the same. From what I can tell, it acts as though four more characters were added to the roster (which they weren't and I'm pretty sure that I didn't accidently changed that) because some of the names of the characters are mixed up. Please can someone help me with this? I'm completely stumped and have no idea what to do.

(Sorry for the double post)

I found the problem. It was the Gecko code setup for Riivilution. I had to set up the data folder (data/gecko/codes/RSEB01.gct) to get them to work, but the result is this. Now I have to figure how to get these codes working while at the same time prevent this from happening. I'd really appreciate it if someone could lend me a hand, because I don't want to get pissed off to the point of quitting entirely.

Maybe it's the Hook type you need to select before booting the game with Riivolution, try diffrent types and see if the problem will stop.

Uhhhhhh....*question mark appears over my head*

You downloaded the .xml from the official (Riivolution) website, right?
When you boot up Riivolution, go to the page that says ''Ocarina''. There should be 2 options named ''codes'' and ''Ocarina handler'', then enable ''codes'' and select a hook type at ''Ocarina Handler''. I'm not sure what hook-type you should use, but if you're running the Pal Brawl (but looking at the 2nd post you're not) you should use GXDraw Hook. It always crashed/ froze for me when I used either the wrong hook type, or selected a hook type while the ''codes'' tab was set to disabled.

Use this:

It is a modified brawl+ loader but it has no + in the code.

VI seems to work fine for me.

I know that. I've used Gecko for a long time. Unfortunately, I would like to have some sound hacks added on and Gecko doesn't do that.

So this will work despite the fact that I'm using regular Brawl?

Load up on Gecko. Go to options and turn on the debugger and start the game.
Thats what i did when m brawl was acting up

Yes it will work. I removed the plussery from it. Be sure to copy over the codes folder to the root of your SD card. Riivolution replaces files with the XML file, and then links to that GCT file to load unrestricted camera controls.

Solved the problem, but I'm back to square one of no codes loading...

Wait, a thought just occurred to me. Is it possible that the problem is that the two .xmls don't lead to the same GCT? Right now I have the Orcaina xml pointing to the RSBE01 GCT while the edited xml you gave me chad points to the riivolution GCT. Could that be the problem?
