For the past few weeks, I've wanted to patch the mods on the title into WBFS files, so I could have all of them at the same time on CFG USB Loader, but I've only found a way to patch older SSBB mods (BrawlBuilder), which didn't work with these mods. So I wanna know if there is any way to patch them into WBFS, as it was possible with Project M and some other mods.

Thanks in advance :)

Bumping this thread in the hopes that someone will have the answer, or explanation as to why it's not currently possible.

I'm enjoying the simplicity of playing Mario Kart Wii Deluxe, Newer Super Mario Bros. and Project M from patched WBFS files ... I would love to see these more current mods follow suit.

Thanks

It's undoable because they use Brawlex, which is simply incompatible with wbfs building. Someone would have to figure out how to edit all the codes and redirections so they work from the ISO itself.
The last iso you can build is Project M 3.6 IIRC.

Here's a link to the issue on github with more info:

My understanding is that the major mods broke image building either directly or as a side effect of anti-piracy protection, for that reason. I get that coders need to cover themselves and therefore can't distribute modified ISOs, but it's not a big endeavor (and personally riskless) to make a modification compatible with image building and point to correct post-patch crcs.

It's silly. And probably a significant contribution to making the brawl smash mod scene hopelessly fragmented now. Speaking personally, I have a Brawl mod on my main Wii SD, but when I prepare Wiis for friends I don't bother, it's not worth spending more for a larger SD card on a per-Wii basis *just* for the Brawl mod.

UPDATE!

Friivolution (which is Riivolution but with mod loading into .wbfs backups) released. I don't think many Brawl mods use Riivolution nowadays, so not sure how useful it is in this context. But many other mods from other games, like Mario Kart and NSMBW, use it!

Also, Smash Bros REX, which is the spiritual successor to PMEX Remix, comes with a USB Loader when downloading the Wii version. I was able to play it with no problems, so that's a way to play these mods too. Not sure if Project+, PMEX Remix and SSB Universe come with the loader, but afaik, it should be possible to load them with ocarina cheats in any of the three main USB Loaders. The only detail is that I don't think you can have more than one at the same time. :/
