brawl freezes when any button is pressed on the stage select screen

[nexuslord]

i am using riivolution to load hacks.   i no it is not the disc or the wii as brawl plays ok  when i load it normally
i had heard that using the sd slot could cause this so i switched to using a usb...to no avail.  i also heard that using smashtacks to get Riivolution  onto your Wii could also cause problems so i  deleted the  bin file  . again no results .
i am completely stumped  especially that now that i think of it most people report the game freezing  as soon as they get to the stage select screen, while i could stay on that screen forever with no freezing.   the moment i press any button {i can still use the cursor though} the game freezes and begins the infamous loooooong beep.
the weird thing is i never had this problem till a few days ago ...an the only change i can remember making  was deleting
the common5_en.pac i had placed on the SD card because  i felt that it was taking up space {i never used any custom portraits etc, and i remembered which character had what mods.   i then thought that maybe one of my  custom stages  was the problem so i deleted all of them {after backing them up first} still the same thing happens.  i have exhausted every  option i can think of .  so anyone else had this problem before?  and does anyone know how to fix it?

if i'm not mistaken... I think it is an issue with either the common5.pac or the selmap.pac (whichever you have)

First off common5.pac should not have "_en" after it... (idk if it would make it freeze or not... but that's an option to try) (I use selmap.pac now but when I used the common5.pac i never had "_en" after it...)

I'm fairly certain that is your problem ^

Next you can not have both common5.pac and selmap.pac only choose one... and I'm fairly certain that riivo. uses common5.pac... (I use gecko os so i'm not entirely sure...)

also If you had stage expansions... it could be that too...
