Hacking RB2 Customs - Proof of Concept

[Roy911]

just get the ISO off of tbp.

does it take a long time to DL, i am planning on making a GH3 hack in the future, when i get good charters

Depends on what torrent you get, mine is going quite fast (Dumping would be faster, but my wifi = fail

)

Any mods out there wanna change the Title of this thread for me? Please?

OMG!!11! Don't you know how unsecure torrents are!!1! Nintendo's going to come after you, etc., etc. /sarcasm

I thought someone said you had morals? What exactly are they regarding downloading illegal content? While you may be allowed by law to own a backup copy, aren't you required to produce said copy yourself? Better check before you tarnish that awesome rep you have...LOL.

Well, he said to download it off of tpb as an alternative to dumping the disc itself. It's not morally wrong to download something you've paid for, since you're paying for the content (or should be...) and not the disc, no?

To be correct, when you buy a Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, etc. game, you are buying a license to use the game on its intended platform. You only own the disc, not the content on the disc. I know it is confusing, but that's the way it is.

 

[SFenton]

Yeah. America sucks with these kinds of things.

 

[Alternity]

I don't know about other places, but in Québec it isn't illegal to download stuff as long as you have the original copy.

 

[Mrkinator]

Well I live in Canada

Okay then, forget what I said >___> Just use tueidjs SuperDumper, work really well

 

[AerialX]

Yes! I'm assuming it installs as DLC right? And will the source be released because I wouldn't mind modifying it so it works with GHWT (because it has a bunch of songs I like that can't be imported.) I have a bunch of guitar hero aerosmith customs which I currently have 1/7 isos on my computer so I can try that for you. I also am giving a friend a copy so I can try online out for you.
(Once it's released of course).
does it work with games like tony hawks downhill jam (which has a good setlist of songs that you can choose from when you play)? I'm assuming the answer is no but it would be awesome if it works

Uh, no you can't randomly take songs from a Tony Hawk game and have our program magically make a note chart for it.
And GHWT is way different than RB2's note charts. Find out the new QB types and checksums for GHWT's QB format and then we'll talk.

There's a big difference between morals and laws. I believe we already established that during the whole marcan fiasco.

Ok, forgive me if this has been answered before, but I'm slightly noobish in this area and I have a few questions. As per my understanding, I should be able to take my isos from GH3/GH:A/RB1 and this app will be able to read them, extract the songs, and then give me the option to save the songs in a format that RB2 can read which I would load onto my SD card, right?

Speaking of SD cards can this game read SD cards where a partition is larger than 2gb?

One last question, I think I understand how to import songs from other games but how do I import songs not from other games, because I have this particular album I'd love to be able to play in RB2 (or GHWT for that matter, :-) ) and it's not available in any game, period?

Nope

You have to make the custom yourself. Look at the first post, I put a link there for making your own custom songs

 

[honeypa]

will RawkSD ever have a feature that allows compatibility for the SDHC

 

[DaFees]

Mrkinator, thanks for your responses, but from looking at the work involved to make your own customs, I think I'll wait until someone makes the album I want.

One other question for you though; Will customs made for FOF work with this in any way?

 

[Robotic Earthlin]

If what I've read is true, you can use 4GB SD cards, as long as they are not SDHC. But for some people, they have to start RB2 with a smaller card, then switch the cards once the game starts. I think that may only be the case for people with 4.0, but I'm not sure.

 

[ccfman2004]

Unfortunately, no.

The game is limited to non-sdhc cards.

Since the idea of Rawk SD is to not have to use a modified RB2 disc, this most likely will never happen.

There are a few barriers that prevent the use of SDHC cards:

The main.dol of the game
The SD driver the game uses
The IOS that the game uses.

For now you can store many songs on a single 2gb card.

The barrier could be broken, but it will take time if someone took on the task.

Just be happy that we will be able to make custom DLC to begin with.

 

[SFenton]

SDHC support was originally intended, but will not make it for the final release. That's not to say it can't/won't be looked at by anybody.

Is this the case for GHWT DLC as well? I don't have DLC from RB2 to test this out on.

 

[gamersclub]

Guys for SDHC use padding. Put random stuff on until it's 4 gigs or under of size left. Than gradually take it off as you install songs. Confirmed working for Brawl and GHWT so it should work. Can one of the testers try this please?

 

[tueidj]

No, it doesn't work. SDHC cards will not work, period.

Wasn't there for the 'marcan fiasco'...had better things to do with my life.

Anyways, it was mostly just a joke...but it's still fun to put little dents in someone's facade every once in a while.

 

[Skizzo]

Doesn't work for my 500 GB flash drive either. Though there is another dumping tool somewhere around there. I think it's called something like SDHC dumping tool v1.5 or something. That apparently supports USB drives now, so it may work.

I thought the 500GB flash drives were fake? What'd you pay for it and from where?

 

[Skizzo]

Well, he said to download it off of tpb as an alternative to dumping the disc itself. It's not morally wrong to download something you've paid for, since you're paying for the content (or should be...) and not the disc, no?

Morals are individual choices, not something written in stone for everyone to follow. Some people might think it is morally wrong to break any law, including downloading illegal content, whether they own it or not, and would feel compelled to do it the legal way by dumping it themselves. Some others might think there is nothing morally wrong with breaking the law to obtain a backup, as long as they own it. And then some others might think there is nothing morally wrong with downloading something if they can't afford to buy it and would never have paid for it anyways. And still some others have no problems stealing anything, digital or real, whether they can afford to buy it or not. I'm sure I left a few out, but you get the point, no?

Of course, you've always got your nimrods and their fans who would suggest downloading something off the internet is the equivalent of stealing someone's car. They tend to be the illogical, holier-than-thou sort though...

 

[honeypa]

would it be possible to load the customs off a USB hard-drive?
