all my games are 1:1 or scrubbed (quicker to obtain). I never use brick block or wiifrii.
with the hacks ini: you might not see the bottom few hacks, i figured out if you go down the list and hit every one with A to enable you get to the bottom and hit save settings... however if you DONT hit save but click down again to return to the top of the list, then hit UP you will see the bottom of the list of hacks that were hidden by the "save settings" text.
maybe this is your issue?
