now that rawksd is dead. RIP. is there anyone working on getting the DLC to work with the old beta?

I hope so.

It already works.

How so?
The old beta I have doesn't even work.
It says time has run out please wait for a new release. Or something related...

The expiration is an entirely different matter altogether. I just said that pirated DLC worked fine with it. It just takes a little more of leg work than most lazy, spoon-fed pirates are willing to or capable of completing.

Ah ok I understand now. I remember reading something about this. We use this RawkSD to get the songs and the non-beta RawkSD to actually install them. Its been so long, its like Rock Band 2 / 3 is not played anymore lol.

Pirated DLC has worked for a long time. You could probably even get it working in RawkSD 2, but I never bothered to try. But by all means, keep on whining. It's entertaining to watch someone your age throw a temper tantrum like a spoiled 3-year-old.

So you're saying that harmonix (or whomever it was that sent that cease & desist letter) WOULDN'T have written that legal notification if rawksd supported pirates more than it did?

Nice logic...but it's really a pitifull excuse. In reality, you're just too dumb to use rawksd to do something illegal with it.

(6:07:51 PM) Inim: is rawksd officially dead or are you just harassing gbatempers again
(6:30:02 PM) tueidj: it's not official as long as Aaron` keeps saying he will finish it

The cake is a lie. And by cake I mean C&D. None of the actual RawkSD devs ever said anything about a C&D.

I'm having trouble getting RawkSD 3b4 to install Rock Band 1, Green Day Rock Band, and Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock songs via the Wii. I don't own a PC and only use a Mac, so the installing via PC isn't an option for me. Has anyone else had issues installing these 3 games or any others and what did you do to remedy this?

Installed so far via Wii:
Lego Rock Band
Rock Band: Track Pack 1
Rock Band: Track Pack 2
Rock Band: Metal Track Pack
Rock Band ACDC Track Pack
Rock Band: Country Track Pack 1
Guitar Hero (PS2)
Guitar Hero II (PS2)
Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80's (PS2)
Guitar Hero III
Guitar Hero Smash Hits
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Guitar Hero: Metallica
Guitar Hero: Van Halen
Guitar Hero 5
Band Hero

Rock Band 1, Green Day Rock Band, and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock play via disk channel and USB Loader GX, but will not install in RawkSD 3b4.

Hey, quertymodo.
So, what is the real status of RawkSD?
There was so much movement on it a year ago and, to me, was one of the biggest things on the scene.

The 3.0 beta is fantastic.
The things that needed improvement were:
- loading game from USB instead of disc
- eliminate the date restriction (any hex savvy individuals care to find out where this is in the dol?)
- fix the freezes that sometimes occur when returning from some menus
- allow it to be launched from forwarders, to avoid going to the HBC first

As it is, it is still a great piece of software.

Regards.

Piracy will never be supported. Deal with it.

The date restriction was intentional for the betas. If it's ever released for real it won't have one.

- fix the freezes that sometimes occur when returning from some menus
That is a bug that exists in RB2 itself. Deleting your save file fixes the crash.

- allow it to be launched from forwarders, to avoid going to the HBC first
If they ever release it, I'm sure they'll make their own forwarder like they did for Riivolution.

As it is, it is still a great piece of software.

Regards.

Also, I'm not a dev. I'm just a customs charter and IRC lurker.

Yeah, I was hoping you had some more insight on that, as the IRC posts did not show dates, or anything.

Well, importing songs from the other GH/RB games is just as dubious as loading the game from a HDD.

- allow it to be launched from forwarders, to avoid going to the HBC first

If they ever release it, I'm sure they'll make their own forwarder like they did for Riivolution.
That would be nice

Your tip on fixing the crashes is the best bit of RawkSD news I've heard in a long-long time.
I'll give it a try later.

Thanks for the answers.

My IRC log says that was 11/05/11

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
