I'm the same boat as you, There will be times where I will do all the right things and end up with an error or no change what so ever. I'm not to worried though, as long as the regular Sawndz still works I'm good.
Important Edit: I'm getting really pissed on how finding jobs got so much worse than before, when it was just not having the experiences, now becomes not wanting to hire do to the fear of the economy for next year!
So this through me in a depressed state for a while until I used my birthday money to buy a Bartholomew Kuma hat and the newest FUNImation One Piece DVD which ends at the arrival to Water 7 and the new Harvest Moon 3D game for the 3DS. I bought the One Piece stuff 3 days after the election and the Harvest Moon game 6 days after that. But once I started the game, nothing Brawl hack related ever moved from that point.
I did a tiny bit of a start in doing some of the PSA stuff with the Roy and Seph. thing, but through the beginning part of the PSA editing I ended up just breaking down and deleted everything and made new copies of the files to start over again, I tried moving towards the bigger projects with the smaller ones.
Apparently I placed my focus on Harvest Moon 3D: A new beginning or (ANB) of the time being. I probably need to re-figure out how I'm going to go back and approach the projects again. I'll get to the hacks, I always do at some point.
Here is an estimated progress of the hacks before all the crap hit the fan in my head;
Sanji JP: 37%
Majority of it is whatever the 4kids attack phrases, converted to the official japanese name of the attacks, damages and deaths, sleep and dizzy, swim, passive, no taunts, no victory taunts.
Luffy JP: 0% haven't started
Roy sfx: 0% starting over
Marth sfx: 0% starting over
Shion sfx: 0% haven't started
I'm going to take it one at a time this time. at this time, I'm also going to add in my Harvest moon stuff under my 3DS FC in case I get others here who also have the game, PM me if you want to add me or if you did.
