Created by PhantomWings, the File Patch Code (formerly the Dynamic SD Loader) was the decisive element in making texture hacks easily accessible to the public by almost completely eliminating the need for modification of the Brawl ISO. Currently, the only commonly edited file that cannot be used with the NTSC File Patch Code is mu_menumain.pac, the file containing music titles in My Music (among many other things). The PAL code is not compatible with music files at this time.
==The Code==
===How to use it===
Using the code is simple. Simply download the following gct file and place it in a "codes" folder at the root of your SD card (must have a capacity of 2GB or LOWER). (A gct file is a code file created using Ocarina or a similar program and read by Gecko OS or a backup launcher.) In addition to the File Patch Code, the gct contains codes for unlimited pause camera, no time limit on replays, and name tags with replays.

=== How to format your SD card ===
The latest version of the File Patch Code is compatible with character textures, character effects, some final smashes, stages, selection portraits, victory portraits, battle portraits, items, assist trophies, Pokemon, music, and music titles at the start of a match. It does not support mu_menumain.pac, the file that controls titles in My Music. The PAL version does not support the music or titles. These files must be placed and named correctly on the SD card in order to be loaded in the game. The file paths and naming conventions are listed below. The variables in the filenames are marked with parentheses; for a full list of correct names for every file, see the PAC Naming article. Regardless of what you are replacing, you will need to create the following folder path on your SD card. If you've ever saved a snapshot or replay to your SD card, the first four folders will already exist. These are private\wii\app\RSBE. Inside the RSBE folder, create a new folder and name it pf. From here, the folders you need to create will vary based on what you want to replace and are listed in the table below.
- Character Textures, Effects, and Final Smashes In general, you need only the pcs file for textures. However, transforming characters will need both their pac and pcs files included. If you are lacking a pac for a character that requires it, you can create your own using lz77ex or gbalzss. Simply drag and drop the pcs onto the program. Transforming characters are: Bowser, Charizard, Ivysaur, Samus, Sheik, Squirtle, Wario, Zelda, and Zero Suit Samus.
- Stages Every stage hack goes into the same folder. Note that boss textures (such as Shiny Rayquaza) are technically stages and go into stage\adventure.
- Portraits Portraits are compiled using CUPASH. Upon completion of the creation process, users will find that the various modified files are in folders mirroring their correct path on the SD card. Note that you must remove the "_en" from the new common5_en.pac in order for it to work. Likewise, you must remove the first period from new battle portraits (ex. InfFace.000.brres). Common5.pac contains selection portraits, MenSelCharFace files contain victory portraits, and InfFace files contain battle portraits.
- Items, Assist Trophies, and Pokemon All items are included in common3_en.pac. You must remove the "_en" in order to load the file. Assist Trophies and Pokemon (the characters that emerge from the items, not the items themselves) have their own folder and possess wildly varying names. Many of them consist of multiple parts. For example, the Custom Robo Assist Trophy has folders for "customrobo," "customrobobomb," and "customrobogun." The latter two are not within the first; each is its own folder within "item."
- Music and Music Titles Every brstm (music file) is included in the same folder. Info_en.pac controls music titles at the start of a match; you must remove the "_en" from the name in order to load it.
