Brawl now has random problems.

I was using cheat codes for Brawl using the Gecko OS app and now I have the following problems-

1. When Lugi's Mansion is selected, the game freezes.

2. When Mushroomy Kingdom is selected, the game freezes.

3. When Final Desentation is selected, there is no music. Trying to turn it back on makes the game freeze.

And all have a very annoying noise when they freeze. I have no idea why it is doing it on these levels, I've tried taking out the memory card, running it without cheats, and taking out the SD card just in case. Nothing works. It still freezes. I really hope the answer I'm looking for isn't deleting the save file, because the Wii won't let me copy it to an S.D. card...

At least that's my best guess to why it's freezing. I could of sworn it worked just fine before I did the cheat codes....

Any help is greatly apperciated.

try to turn off your wii and UNPLUG it from the wall(or back of Wii) so there is NO power...that should reset the hooks in Gecko.

I unplugged the power cable from the back of the Wii, plugged it back in, started Brawl, went to Lugi's Mansion and it still didn't work. What kind of thing would cause levels not to load and music to not work anyways?

Certain codes mess up the music. I think there are music fixing codes also

There's a "Independent Pokemon Engine +no wreck My Music V2 [spunit262]" at U.S.B. Gecko Codes, would this be what you're refering to bg4545? And is it able to fix the levels crashing as well? If so, I'll go ahead and try it.

I think so... I never messed with those codes so I'm not sure which ones exactly fix it

I've tried loading up that code on both Gecko OS and Ocarina. Both freeze while trying to load it. Gecko OS says it found the SD codes, but then freezes. Same with Ocarina. At least there's no annoying noise on these freezings.

Starting Brawl regularly still shows the same problems.

Use savegame extractor or Ocarina to copy the savegames.

Then try it without your savegame. I have the feeling, that some setting in the savegame are messed up and make the game crash.

Yeah, that was it. Something was wrong with the savegame. Not the end I was hoping for, but at least it's fixed (and I can play online now without it crashing). Thanks for the help. Though do you know why it did this? Using cheats online maybe? I just want to be able to use cheats but not have to ruin my save game again.

The music codes mess up the savefile

I don't think I was using any of those around the time it happened.... but I'll keep that in mind when I use codes in the future. Thanks.

Since you have to start fresh with your Brawl, I recommend you start with savegame that has no copy protection.

Not exactly, but the theorie is simple. Ocarina and co. mess with the memory of the game. And when Brawl writes its settings to the NAND, it will of course use the values it finds in memory. Of course, it does not check ths values, becuase usually the won't get screwed up.
