Well, if you want to do customs on RB2, it should be easier because the dlc is coming from the Wii Shop Channel (confirmed from IGN), so wouldn't that mean it's packed in a wad? Unless there's a startup check.

Yeah, I gonna look into that. I still want to see whats on the disc, though and see if anything has changed.

i just got some songs from the FOF boards that i was going to use for GH but whenb i noticed they included some drums.ogg and such i was wondering if those could be used, if so would i have to split the drums 4 times to make the proper audio channels? how would that work. thnx for all your time and effort on the guide. I look forward to using my new bookmark often smile.gif

Take the drum track and split it, change both tracks to mono. Then add 2 empty audio tracks(CTRL+SHIFT+N). So you will have 2 with drums and 2 empty.

Since I haven't tested FOF songs. If It's a Download-able song from Rock Band 1 or 2, don't use it. I tried using some RUSH DLC and it didn't work. If it's a custom song, carry on.

Good luck!

Just a quick note, I have figured out how to replace you own videos in Rock Band! I will be posting how to and a video very soon!

Thanks Mrkinator!!

I had the cIOS 37 installed as 248 from earlier, before you started the Rock Band Chanel. I couldn't figure out how to make your channel boot 248, so I reinstalled cIOS 37 as 232. Everything works great now! I much rather use RB Chanel than launch HB and FileTrip Download Link SoftChip, too many steps, and too easy to make mistakes.

Is there any way (or a reason to) remove 248 since it's not needed now?

Great Work on the channel's graphics and music! Awesome!

Then i guess you deleted my post. If links to IOS files on nintendo's servers aren't allowed you have a lot of work to do, all patchmii clones have these links integrated, this means, patchmii isn't allowed and most(if not all) cIOS installers aren't allowed.

I think eyverthing which contains copyrighted code is illegal:
.isos and roms from retail games
IOS files
cIOS files

But i think this is legal:
download links to nintendo's servers, if anybody is allowed to host these files, then it's nintendo
programms which download and/or modify these files, if they don't contain any copyrighted code. The cIOS installers are in this category

PS: If anybody would rewrite a cIOS completely on his own(really a lot of work), this would be legal too, even if it's a cIOS

You have to know what IOSx means.

Let's take the example of IOS36:
If some homebrew says it uses IOS36, it just loads the IOS installed in the Wii, which is at position 36, im most cases it's just IOS36 from nintendo. But it could also be a cIOS just installed as IOS36. It's possible to install (little bit complicated) IOS36 at another postion, 232 for example. You could call this IOS IOS36 as it is the IOS36 from nintendo and you could call it IOS232 as it is the IOS installed as IOS232 in the Wii.

I don't know. From what I understood, IOS37 files were illegal. But if it was on an actual Nintendo site, then I don't know. I guess you can add the links back in if you want.

A IOS37 wad download link is surely illegal, the links you deleted are the links from where the wii downloads the IOS if you use the online update function of your wii. To me it's clear: nintendo has the copyright, nintendo hosts the files and there isn't any kind of protection ==> It's legal to use these links.

Maybe you should talk about this with the other moderators and update the "no cIOS files allowed" thread with a precise list of what is allowed and what not. The actual form is causing a lot of confusion. Oh and if you do this, don't forget to mention competely new written IOS files or parts of it, the SoftChip team is still working at an own dip (that's one part of a IOS) which contains 100% code from the team and 0% code from nintendo.

Yeah, they were coming from the Nintendo Servers. So I can put 'em backup up?
