Couple of easy(?) Riivolution/modding questions

[Bigmac909]

When numbers (00-05 or something) are in a file, is that what costume the changes will be applied to?
If so, is it ok for me to just change that number to choose what costume is overwritten?
And what if the model also has move changes (psa I think it is?) Will the changes only apply to that costume?

What inserting things like songs, which (I believe) don't have locations to overwrite in the file? So far I've just been throwing mod files into my ssbb folder which knew where to change things, but how would I specify further?

A little bit on a tangent here, but does anyone know if any codes exist that I could plug into Riivolution to unlock everything in this game?

Lastly, it seems like Riivolution only recognizes my ssbb folder every 3 or 4 times, and I'm always exiting and reloading. Anybody know what this is about?

I know that's a lot, but even answering one of the questions would be appreciated.

Yes.

PSAs affect all costumes for the character it's applied to. They cannot have numbers appended to them, and because of this they cannot be assigned to a specific costume.

To replace songs just rename it to the ID of the song you want to replace. Like say a song already in Brawl has the ID X05 (and there is), rename your custom .brstm to that ID (X05.brstm) and it'll replace that song.

No I don't think there is any code to unlock everything in the game. Codes people develop for Brawl hacking are more towards affecting the gameplay or how certain things in Brawl appear or run. Unlocking everything in the game is more of a conventional cheat code Action Replay or GameShark would use, or one you would find on the internet by inputting various button combinations. The codes we use are more advanced.

You're saying Riivolution reads all your stuff fine, then when you exit and come back it doesn't? That makes no sense. Have you changed anything around before the time it stopped reading? Are you sure you have everything in the Riivo menu enabled and the correct codeset?

Wow, thanks for the detailed response. Allow me to further elaborate on my last question:

I'll add some codes off of my computer, and then go turn on Riivolution to try them out. It loads up, but the screen stays blank, though the launch and remove/install options appear on the side. I've even tried waiting to insert the SD card after the channel loads up, but even after it says that it's finished reading the card, the menu inside the red is still blank.

After several launches of the game, exiting Brawl/Riivolution and returning, I get lucky and the option to "enable /ssbb" will appear, and the codes work fine.

There are codes to unlock everything except SSE. I used it on my ISO file so i wouldn't have to unlock everything myself. It should be in the resources page in the Vault. Just use Gecko to use the code and unlock everything, then play 2 brawl matches and shut down your wii with the power button. Then boot through Riivolution and you should have everything unlocked. Even every challenge. The only thing that's NOT unlocked is the entire SSE. You'll have to do that yourself.

^There IS a code for that...

Awesome, I'll look that up shortly.

Now I'm running into a bit of trouble after using the link LordNOah provided. I'm still only seeing "/ssbb replacement ––– enable" on Riivolution. Do I need a template for that style of code organization?

^That's the template for Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

This can be used to try out stage and character mods, any files to replace go in /ssbb

http://rvlution.net/riivolution/images/5/5c/SSBBfiles.xml
^That's the file replacement XML.

File Replacement Code Support

For those who already have been using the file replacement codes for Brawl, you can use this XML to seamlessly use your folders that are already set up in /private. Works for all regions.

Note that currently this XML will not replace some files, as they are named differently with the file code than what's on the disc. Textures should work, but you'll find that some files will not.

I used this link: http://rvlution.net/riiv/Patch_Templates#Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl

Ok, I see now. There are two different ways of doing it. I guess what I was looking for was a more organized method of enabling/disabling certain codes, like this video:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZodeoqCuX0A" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZodeoqCuX0A</a>

I'll assume this other template goes where the old one did, next to the config folder.

EDIT: So I just got the file replacement to work, but It didn't have the setup like that video does, which I for some reason assumed would happen. Is there any way for me to attain a similar setup to the one in the video, where individual codes can be turned on/off?
