File Replacement Code
-by Phantom Wings
Phantom Wings has written a file replacement code that will allow you to load textures or any other files used by the game directly off an SD card. No more disk burning needed!
You can go here to get the code as well as his instructions on how to use it.
ASH v2.2 Automatic Smash Hack
-by Marc
Okay, heres something I think you might like. Thanks to Marc, gone are the days of long hexing and repeatedly running programs over and over to generate your custom textures.
With his now Automatic Smash Hack it's as simple two clicks of the mouse. Just copy the .pac into the ASH directory, run Step_1, make any changes you want, and then run Step_2. You've got a modified character file ready to be put on disk. Most programs need for the original hack are still needed (TPLx, SSBExtract, TexConv, and ntcompress), however they will all be called automatically so you never have to use any individually.
You can view his original post here (Spanish):

And you can download everything you'll need (minus SDK programs) here:

I'm also going to bring this post up to date soon once I get the chance. I've kinda let it slip lately.
Since this was originally posted, Ghosteo, Raganook, Skyos, and Cryos have really taken this hack to a whole new level and have formed an amazing team called Syntax Error. They are releasing new textures daily on eesyntaxerror.net
F.A.Q:
I want to make my own custom textures, how does this work?
The basic process involves using tools available such as SSBExtract to extract the texture files and edit them. They are then recompressed into Brawls special format using tools found in the Revolution SDK. I made a guide a while ago, but quite a few errors were found so I removed it. I will post it again after I make some changes.
Does this hack work on Wifi?
The game should run fine on wifi and you will see any texture hacks that are on your disk. However, the people online will just see a regular character. i don't recommend playing on wifi, but being a 360 owner has made me paranoid.
Can I add new textures to the game, or just replace existing old ones?
With everything I've done so for, only existing colors can be replaced. However, I believe that it may be possible to use a USB Gecko to load completely new textures into the game. I don't have a USB Gecko, so it's just a theory.
Can character models be changed in any way?
Short answer, no. Long answer, I don't know but it is extremely unlikely. So far no one has figured out Brawl's model data. As I mentioned before I want to try to swap a character model with another existing in the game. The odds of it actually working though are slim to none.
Is it possible for this to do any damage to my Wii?
No. The worst that could happen is that the Wii freezes when trying to use the hacked chaaracter if it was done incorrectly. It will be fine on reset.
Original textures
Here is a .rar file with all the character's default costumes (minus G&W). It may also be missing a few accessory texture like Peach's parasol:

Imagine to what extent (should that work) the game could be modded... Sonic to actually look like Shadow (not just a color change), Lucas or Ness into Claus, Snake into Raiden...and so forth...
Maybe I've been saying a little too much about this. I have a lot of ideas but the chances of them working are extremely small. Zelda does offer possibilities as far as alt are concerned, but that's getting beyond my photoshop abilities. Like I say, if Wolf Pup or someone else can help with the texture files i could do the inserting without much trouble.
