I'm using the BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x and the lag isn't so bad on Dolphin Emulator with two players. It is annoying on console, but I still find it to be worth using. Reading from a virtual SD.raw is much faster than an actual SD card, so I think making BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x load from the .iso would improve the lag issue significantly. Using WIT, I've already expanded Brawl's image file to 7.6 GB so .iso sizelimits shouldn't be a problem.

I can imagine your experience would vary on dolphin depending on your computer ( I have a slow laptop, so I try to aim for console mostly ) but iso loading could be quicker. Unfortunately that means backup loading for anyone on console and I know a lot of people are against the idea of that (I use a USB loader because my main wii has a dead disc drive though, so I could still take advantage of it).
Anyhow, in other news I've been playing around with classic mode now that stock icons isn't an issue. Classic mode cosmetics are setup based on the cosmetic ids used with BrawlEx, so if you've repointed all of your base fighters for additional costumes it's going to make a lot of them crash when trying to load up their congratulations videos.
You can fix this by renaming them on the iso, however the File Patch code doesn't load up videos iirc, so I don't think there's a way to fix that there. Renaming the files used in the pf/menu/intro folder can fix up crashes caused when loading stages however. They use the same value your csps use + 1.

Regardless of how people feel about loading backups, optimizing BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x seems like the best way to have room for a lot of high quality CSPs. ISO integration is a feasible solution for BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x's biggest problem.
Also, another limitation of BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x:
cs_tex###.brres's size limit is 250 KB. Since we now can use up to 14 characters for each moveset, we can exceed this size limit.
To prevent this, at 128*160 pixel CSP's, you can have one of the following:
12 CI8 encoded images @248-250KB
11 CI8 and two CMPR encoded images @248-250KB
10 CI8 and four CMPR encoded images @248-250KB
Do note that CMPR often produces a lower quality image than CI8. The biggest appeal of BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x is that there is seemingly no limit on the NUMBER of cs_tex###.brres's. That's how I have ~14 alts for a lot of my characters using high quality CSPs.

Would changing the file path that BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x loads from be enough to load it from the .iso?

And a random piece of information, I've narrowed down the source of "Using the BX CSS Roster Expansion will prevent Final Smash music for Luigi, Peach, and Dedede from playing." to sora_menu_sel_char.rel (MiscData[13] in older versions of Brawlbox) in common3.pac.

Or someone could get riivo working with backups...

Changing the path might do it, it's certainly worth a shot. I'm not exactly sure what the file path looks like for reading from the iso however. I did glance by a few file paths in some of my module digging though, so I can't imagine finding and changing it would be too difficult.
As for the music issue did you figure out exactly how to fix it with that? Cause I'd love to apply that to my stock icon fix. It's really weird having Dedede do his dance sans music. I was only able to fix up the stock icon because I found "InfStc." with some % and numbers after it in the module. I figure the weird characters that followed somehow told it to check the costume slot and load that file and just axxed them from the code. If it's something plainly visible like that I could definitely take a crack at it, but anything more and I probably won't be of much help.
I think riivo working with backups is way more of a long shot unfortunately. I feel like if it was going to happen it would have by now (last I checked wii homebrew in general was on a decline), and I think the old appeal to get it working was just for Newer SMB. People just ended up cracking the riivo exclusivity instead.

But changing the path to the iso would (hopefully) be easier until riivo works with backups. Does anyone know what path would denote loading from the iso? Other than the path itself and possible bytecounts, I don't think it would be too hard to do.
And secretchaos1, I just isolated the .rel as the source. It also has the path for BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x. There's some ugly stuff in there!

I might take another look around on it and see if I can get the music playing again, but somehow I don't expect it's going to be as simple.
As for loading from an iso I wouldn't know unfortunately. I'd say trial and error but that could take an awfully long time if it isn't something obvious. Maybe if you dig around through the file you might find another file path that leads to the iso that you can use as reference? Other than that I wouldn't have a clue.

I took a look into BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x's sora_menu_sel_char.rel (MiscData[13] in older versions of Brawlbox) in common3.pac. I placed some code chunks that were changed into a vbrawl sora_menu_sel_char.rel individually (confirmed identical via hex editor). None of the chunks caused the final smash music issue.
Unless the music issue is caused my multiple chunks of code interacting, it resides between 0x16 and 0x2314F :-(
I'll update this number as I test more chunks.
NOTE: This range is only valid for BX CSS Expansion v2.0.0.x
Note 2: Use Brawlbox 0.71 to replace MiscData[13] since I can't figure out how to replace .rels in the newest one.
Bad news, I tried replacing a chunk around 0x23189 and the game crashes. I suspect bytecount violations. More :-(
If attacking the back of the file didn't work, let's try the front!
^That didn't work either. Momentarily giving up.

Am I allowed to request codes for a project that I'm making on this thread?

I've been working on getting P:M 3.6 to work with BrawlEx, it was going extremely well until I reached the point of the stock icons that are shown mid-battle and air dodging. Here's a video to give you all a better idea on what I am talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5EJbai0eTU&feature=youtu.be |

If you go inside the info.pac miscdata 30 AnmTexPat you see InfStockface_TopN__0 this is the place where you can add stockicons because it does work when I use cbliss to add costumes for a excisting character it even works for mewtwo and roy. I dont know why it loads a mario icon though at the bottom it says InfStc.000 and thats not the mario's icon but rather a icon without textures. I would love to help since I know for a good amount how brawlex works. I can help you with all sort off brawlex things but I cant help you with the PM codes. Can you also tell me how you didnt let the game freeze when the announcer says GO because it always freezes for me when I try it. If my English is not so good sorry I'm from the Netherlands and still learning English.

@robintjuh
I've tried that with Doc but I had no avail, I'll try again later in the day. I can't really answer your question since I don't know what kind of codes and files you are using in your pack.

I use the project m D.I.Y. codes and all the normal project m files with the brawlex edits of course. |

It's most likely due to the fact P:M D.I.Y. only decoded 3.02 and not 3.6. |

Oh wait I misunderstood you I thought you used everything within project m. Thats why I found it so weird because noboby has been able to clone a character within project m because of the GO issue as I mentioned before. |
