When you're using 3.5.3, are all the needed pac/pcs files in both sets of folders?
Have you tried the 3.5.3 in an edited iso with all the needed stuff in it?
Answer to the first question:
my RSBE FOLDER wasnt filled with all the pac and pcs files, but I never used that folder to test CBLISS with FPC 3.5.3, I always used RSB4 folder, but this is not relevant anyway, because all the files that CBLISS needs to work are inside my Iso,
and.. the characters that I tested had 00-09 pac and pcs in RSB4 and RSBE folders
And to the second Question
Of course, I have the 00-09 pac and pcs of every character inside my iso,
and the 37 alternate stages are inside my iso, I did this because I wanted to save space in my SD x3
I really really tested CBLISS with FPC 3.5.3, and It beeped for me.. when I used especific charaters ( for example: 4 marios ALWAYS frezes, 4 diddys too , and 4 yoshis,but 3 marios and 1 yoshi not always..)
CBLISS with FPC 3.5.1 just work flawless.. oh damn you gave me an idea... I will test FPC 3.5.3 without CBLISS, I will tell if It beeeps or not -_-
EDIT.- You mean portraits, char_bust_ tex, selmap and selcharacter and stgresult.pac too?
