It's not simple in Brawl simply because we've basically rewritten the entire game multiple times. It used to be as simple as mkWii when we replaced stage and character textures using Riivo patcher. Then PW came with the glory code to patch files using Gecko OS, so we could have codes and textures. Cool! where do we go from here? Bigger mod packs, more hacks. Brawl- and Brawl+ emerge that recode parts of the game. Already we're at pretty complex, but we're not even halfway to today. Stuff happens, we now have multiple mod teams. Cool. But what have we done? Make it near impossible for the average homebrewer to interpret. And in the process our community has split in half, and the reason pretty much boils down to one particular mod:
Project M*
Revolving around Project M, there are three kinds of people:
> Those who want to play Project M
> Those who want to mod Project M
> Those who are jealous of Project M
This is where our community has gone. I'd like to go back to the time when it was just textures and music. But I got Melee for that. 
I would love to try mkWii modding just once, but I can't, due to the lack of a mkWii disc. 
* Not to take shots at the PMBR, but it's the truth.
it kinda misses my point, in which the hack users have to now learn to make or tweek already made hacks just to use it, like its not compiled for them to download, choose what to use, and play anymore, additionally, the FPC doesnt replace riivo because it has codes, riivo can use codes, as for your MKW hacking interest, we already can ADD a spedometer, and we actually changed how the game behaves including commanding it to freeze on purpose if a single GCT is loaded (since cheating hacks transmit on wifi insteaad of desyncing)
also theres two more types of people for the PM fanbase:
theres people who will try to destroy nintendo in favor of projectM (eg: they went up at the booths of smash 4 like MS did to the wiiU booths at best buy, and say smash 4 sux get projectM) (fanboys)
and theres people like me who DESPISE projectM because of the [censored] its done to the smash community by further dividing it and theres even a war amongst smash fans and projectM fanboys now where they petitioned to have the for glory mode REMOVED from smash 4 because they want NO references or relations to the competitive audience specifically derived from projectM
now back to brawl wifi, riivo would have been the SIMPLE approach if riivo would just fully support brawl and not half ass brawl and fully support every other game because:
1) just the dol file needed to be added to replacement (i made an XML that loads this but brawl rejects it even if i just ripped the original dol and put it in riivo)<-- this is where the original problem that this thread got created for started
2) mods would be allowed unlike the one mrbean35000vr made where it just wiimmfi pathces the game and does not allow any mods
3)with the way i made the XML, we could still load codes
4) it would have been simple for the userbase as they would only have to download to SD and run it (end of story) and add customization later if they wanted
and because of the gecko only ussage requirement and our refusal to revive riivo for any reason, now anyone who wants custom music on wiimmfi with some extra codes on the side now HAVE to learn the bypass stuff weather they are intelligent enough to attempt it or not jus tto go online with custom content
the simplicity is now gone and that's my gripe with the whole gecko thing when it comes to wiimmfi
