Note:
The original patch was made by brkirch, for NTSC-USA, and I just ported it to NTSC-JPN & PAL.


1) Download the latest version of Gecko from the link below, extract it, and copy it to the SD card.
http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php/topic,3228.html

2) Add the following lines to the "gameconfig.txt" which is placed at the root of the SD card.
(Create a new file if you haven't made the config file yet).

Code: 
RSB?01:
codeliststart = 80570000
codelistend = 80580000
poke(800042B8, 60000000)
pokeifequal(803E9930, 4BFECA1D, 803E9930, 60000000)
pokeifequal(803E99A8, 4BFECA1D, 803E99A8, 60000000)
pokeifequal(803E9D5C, 4BFECA1D, 803E9D5C, 60000000)

3) Copy .gct file (which is now able to contain 8000+ codes) to SD:\codes\

Double gct method:

Original post on gct loader;

NTSC-USA


Put a gct in SD:/Private\Wii\App\RSBE\pf\ with another gct that has the following codes in order in SD:\codes\. It's like the snapshot method only loaded at start up and doesn't need to be encoded. The "File Replacement" code needs to be in the second gct (the one in SD:\Private\Wii\App\RSBE\pf\) else it will conflict with the code loader.

WTF H4X!

This is so awesome, just what we needed, and at like 2am when no one else can see it.

Once I get my Wii fixed this week I'm so trying this out.

Thanks for discovering this.

F yeah. I'll be understanding this as soon as it gets a few pages long so other people ask the dumb questions instead of me.

COOL! Id like to try it out now, but I have to go to school soon.

RLY, this is pure win. Very, very, very clever.

so now the question becomes, which codes do we want now that it's practically unlimited!

most of the stuff in EX seems fair game to go into the brawlplussery.

I wouldn't waste space for luxuries from EX, we don't need those codes. Also, I'd still much rather wait for the new build of Gecko OS but, I suppose this would be an alternative solution while we wait for Gecko OS. It'll make testing the knockback code that much easier.

In any case, thanks Y.S for your hard work once again. :)

So wait. This really works? This is too good! Yeah, I'm at school right now, and won't be able to try this until later on, but wow, I can't wait!!

Has any1 tried this yet? How did it work out? Is this the answer we've all been waiting for?

Thanks Y.S.! I don't know how you guys do it, truly awesome! :)

3. Replace the value at 0x58 with the .gct file's original size (u32)
Click to expand...
I'm probably just being dim, but I'm stuck here.

The value at 0x58 is FF (due to the new stuff pasted at the start), but the file's original size? What exactly do you mean? The last value in my original .gct is at 0xF97, but this has 3 hex digits and so doesn't fit. Do I overlap into 0x59 or have I just misunderstood what you mean by original filesize?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Sorry, I think I've worked out what I was doing wrong, I should take the FFFFFFFF starting at 0x58 all to be one value.

This is pretty **** awesome. While a newer Gecko OS is simpler, this method has its own merits.

As I understand it, the codes aren't activated until the Snapshot is viewed? In essence, this means we have a method where we can play vBrawl, then "turn on" the codes whenever we please.

Does it stack codes (add codes onto the currently activated ones)? As far as I can tell, it does; this allows us to have multiple hacked snapshots, all with different codesets, which we could then activate whenever we want; we could even have a set of codes loaded through Gecko OS (for the sake of example, EX Brawl), which we could then add on to, say, after a tournament is over and it's just friendlies (Brawl+). We're even able to swap in codesets on the fly without restarting Brawl.

I may just be voicing the obvious in this post, but now all we need is a way to turn OFF the codes and we'd have a pretty solid code system within Brawl itself.

I would like to try this but I can't make .gct files out of text files, I've tried before with previous codes using codemanager 1.1 but GeckoOS always freezes when trying to run my codes so I have always had to rely on other people's .gct files.

I see you have uploaded the snapshot code files but you did not upload the small .gct file required to load the snapshot code file.

If you could upload that .gct file with those two codes, or provide a solution to why my codes are failing that would be great.

Does it have to do with Wiird vs. ASM codes? can codemanager only handle one kind? what kind are these?

EDIT:

ok I figured it out, I wasn't giving header's to each code, so now the game loads and I have your EX Brawl snapshot code file, but when I load the game the game isn't changed, when I go to the vault to look at my snapshots on my mem card I saw the garbage looking snapshot but when I clicked on it my wii froze. What am I supposed to do?

so I'm trying to understand the steps here.

I have the HBC and GeckoOS

I download one of your snapshot code files and put it in the snapshot folder on my sd card

I make a .gct file with the two codes you listed (15 lines total) and put it in the codes folder on my sd card

I stick it in my wii boot HBC, and boot gecko which applies the code.

then brawl loads, then what? is it supposed to have load the codes then? because mine doesn't

are you supposed to go to the vault and try to load the snapshot from there? when I try that the game freezes.

Yeah you go to the vault and load the snapshot from there. It doesn't freeze for me. Then you go to Brawl and the mod is implemented.

I still haven't successfully made a snapshot file myself though. Every time I try I just get told my snapshot is a corrupt file.

I'm very unclear on what file I'm supposed to "Calculate the file's checksum using crc32, and replace the value at 0x10 with the result" on. Is that the original file or the new file I'm creating?

the only thing I can think of is that my .gct file is no good, could you put up a link or pm me with the one you are using that is working for you? (the .gct file, not the snapshot since I already have that from the original post)

perhaps once I know that is working I can figure out how to make my own snapshot code file.

Okay, I have some questions:

1. Does loading multiple snapshots overwrite previous codes, or does it simply add to them?

2. Can one literally have a GCT that has like 600lines and have it work? I mean, say I have the plussery, then texture hacks, CSS hacks, whatever--- the extra hacks.

I'm quite confused by the instructions, it's too technical for me.

1. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it will overwrite. I hope it does.

2. Yes.

Awesome work, guys!

Now if I only knew how to get this started. XD
The instructions are a bit..... complicated. What's the binary editor? :urg:

This code sounds great but i have no idea even where to start.

But can one simply load a single screenshot with say

brawl+
sd hack
custom textures
css
music hacks

Can all that be put on one single .gct?

Good stuff. I'll help out by making a GCT into Snapshot converter into Brawl+ Tweaker. Seems simple enough. I was thinking of using PW's SD code reader and loading a file from the SD, write to memory and data inject that way, but this works too.

I'm really limited by the fact I STILL haven't gotten my USB Gecko in the mail. It's taking way too long.

I could twiddle my thumbs but I'll see if I can get a GCT to Snapshot in Brawl+ Tweaker for tonight. Good stuff. Good stuff indeed.

It doesn't seem that hard. I don't have my Wii in front of me though. :-/
I'm assuming this will allow you to use different sets of Snapshots, meaning different Brawl+ Codes can be used, depending on what snapshot file is selected.

Btw, where are you writing this in the memory to? 0x80570000 ?

Shortfuse, could you by chance explain this process a bit? I mean, I can't figure out how to do this snapshot thing, and I'd love to use this tomorrow at school. This needs to be explained in noob terms for the unintelligent like myself.

ShortFuse I hope you're not asking me that.

Anyway, my problem is the checksum - it says to use crc32 on "the file", and I'm trying to work out what that is. I've decrypted one of the example screenshots (the The Brawlplusery: NTSC-U, 9th March 2009, Version 3.3 Beta) and I can't work out how he managed to get 08B511DA using crc32. I've tried using that on so many variations of the original file - just the code, the code with the header, the code with and without the extra 0's on the end... none of them produce a checksum of 08B511DA. I'm having the same problem for the other files btw, it's not just this one.

So if you can tell me which part of the file to checksum, I would be very very grateful.

As soon as I know this I'll make a nice youtube video for the noobs.

Well now my brains are all kinds of scrambled. I've got absolutely no idea how to do any of this binary stuff, but on the other hand, I simply must do it! Brawl+ and texture hacks together... augh! Gotta figure it out!

crc32 is just a program that automatically generates the checksum for any particular file <__<

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/crc32.aspx

Edit: Oh, maybe I didn't read/skimmed over most of the posts. Nevermind. I'm fairly sure though that the "file" he mentioned was referring to the altered gct file itself.
