Need help loading PM entirely off SD card (Brawl ISO + homebrew method)
I am trying to load Project M entirely off a 32 GB SD card (FAT32, 32k clusters). I have the Brawl ISO placed in SD:/WBFS/ and it loads fine on the Wii. The Project M files are also present on the same SD card. If I place the Brawl ISO on a USB stick it loads PM fine with the Ocarina method, however, I can't get PM to load with Ocarina from the SD card.
I am using Configurable USB Loader (r65) since this gives me the option to load from SD card (USB Loader GX does not offer this feature). I don't get any errors while loading the game, it finds the ISO, cIOS and codes.
I have tried IOS 249, 250, 251 (d2x v10 beta rev 56, 57 and 58), every hook method available in cfg and I even formatted my SD card with two partitions this morning (first partition for apps and second for games) - still loads Brawl on it's own.
The only thing I have left to try is to use the hackless method, but that would be concidered a workaround. Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that the purpose of this is to create a very portable Wii (no addons sticking out) that is simple to use at events and also easy to update PM on. The ISO builder method is a lot of hassle every time there is a new release.
Hopefully someone knows a thing or two about this since I have tried my best to find someone else who has succeeded in this but to no avail :(

Make sure you're using the most recent version of CFG. Last I checked, that was r70, not r65. Also, the version of PM you use doesn't matter for USB loading. Hackless or homebrew doesn't make a difference.
I double checked to be sure and it looks like I'm using an older version (figured it was the newest since the Wii is freshly modded). I will test this and report back
I am having the same issue with the latest version of CFG Loader, so that won't fix the issue, I am very interested in if anyone finds a solution for this.
