Just to give some context:

I have installed DLC songs from the Repository, following the instructions there - I have the big WADs, but as I'm still just trying, I'm only using some split WADs. With a lot of patience, I came from zero to getting Rock Band(s) to work, and now also GH5. I haven't tried GH:WOR DLCs yet, but it doesn't feel (for while) I'll have a problem.

GH:WT DLCs are my headache, unfortunately, as it's also my fav.

I'm only asking this because I am still not able to make my Guitar Hero World Tour read any DLC. Depending on the IOS I use, it gives me "SD-Card corrupted" or "Device inserted cannot be used". My SD Card is a 8GB one, and I might try, soon, to use a real 2GB one, to eliminate what I feel is the last possible theoretical impediment.

Had new hopes when I checked that GH5 and GH:WOR recognized the GH:WT DLCs! Great! But... when I try to play any of the GH:WT DLC songs, I get a message about needing a "GHWT Addon Content Update". :(
(I'll confirm the string shown on screen, but almost sure that's the message both on GH5 and GHWOR)

Am I out of luck about that (as Music Store is no more, of course), or have any of you folks managed to use those GHWT DLCs on posterior GHs?

I didn't find much about this addon here on the forums but saw that there were v1 and v2. Are these installable?

Well, I feel quite stupid to reply my own post, but for the sake of sharing partial success...

  • Inside GHWT, I simply cannot play. Maybe it's just my SD Card (still will try to purchase some old SD Cards to try them), but there's no way for me so far.
  • However, I could play SOME (and this is just it - some) songs under GH WOR. Both GH WOR and GH5 recognizes the songs on my SD Card AFTER:
    • Installed GHWT DLC not using the --nullkey option. Used GHWOR ID as its parent.
    • Installing all (not sure) content from GHWT Import Big WAD (these work gracefully), also used GHWOR ID as parent.
    • Using GH-DLC Downloader (you can find jtp10181-ghrb-tools on Archive org), on GHWT DLC application, there's a button to generate a WAD for real NANDs. Installed it, instead of wad2bin generated one. Note that I didn't use GH-DLC to download, decode or so, just for the WAD - but I'll still try to check its results.
  • Some of the songs will keep on generating the same Add-On error, however I have managed to play about 50% of the GHWT DLCs - of the few I've assessed so far, of course. Of those unplayable, some will be greyed out, some will be available, but will give you the error as soon as you try to play them.
I hope this is not a random happening for me, however I achieved the same results both on my Wii and on an EmuNAND.

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?
    :rofl2:
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol
