Can't make it to the damn menu

[juice]

hi. hope this is the place to ask for assistance on this.  i just decided to finally update my firmware to 4.1. i also installed homebrew channel, backup launcher, and the cios38_rev14 installer . all my backups work fine, but when it comes to my custom brawl iso, it only goes up to before the menu after the title screen fades to white. after that, it just at that white screen, or when i just press start before the title screen it just stays dark. what should i do? am i missing something?

Hm... You're applying SD codes by any chance?

[juice]

nope no codes at all. it's all from a backup disk

[Hakumen]

Any files replaced on the .iso by any chance? Like, menu files?

[juice]

nope. i've even used the older brawl isos i created in the past and they all do the same thing

nope. i've even used the older brawl isos i created in the past and they all do the same thing

Alright, if it's that 7 GB .iso, it won't work. If it's the DVD5, then I don't know what the problem is.
