Quick and dirty: Get cIOS37 from cioscorp, install it and select IOS37 in SoftChip. All games using usb intruments should work with it.

How would I install cios37 from cioscorp. I assumed installing cioscorp would overwrite cios 38 rev14 and have been fretting for weeks now.
I am a big fan of neogamma and cios38 rev14.

It is all we use (the kids and I).

I would love the get GH5 working too, without effecting my setup.
Would this "Quick and dirty" method work?

Cheers

I said install cIOS37 from cioscorp, not install cioscorp. "Quick and dirty" will only overwrite your IOS37 and not touch any other IOS or the cIOS.

i just can't get softchip to work properly. i on r99 right now but i have tried r100, 101, and 102. i always get one of two things.

1. code dumps

2. hangs

and my main issue is getting RB2 wireless drums to play on RB2 backup disc. I have pretty much given up but I trying to keep hope alive. (24 hours straight so far)

ok nevermind, I took a short nap to get some more energy woke up and I finally got it working. What the hell!!!??? After all this f**king time, now it wants to work properly! god!!!

Anyway, the only thing that isn't working is Guitar hero 5 and I am about to start my research on it now. I keep getting error 002# when i try to load GH5.

and when I say "i got it working" I am referring to my RB2 drums working properly with all of my games EXCEPT GH5 (error 002#). I never got that piece of crap Softchip software working so I trashed that s**t.

This is what I've been trying to do for a week (get my RB2 instruments to work with other backups). How did you do it without SoftChip? Thanks!

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
