Just install the rev version you want and the one you currently have will be overwritten.

To everyone who is oowing and awing about the possibility of a magic unlock of a few kilobytes which allow the download of all DLC, don't forget: they might still be able to lock you out from downloading anything for free from their store.
It could be that OneUp (or whoever developed this) realized this- and so released wads of all the dlc in addition to an enabler (the title wad?).

I think it used to be possible to download any channel you had a ticket for from the wii shop channel, and look they blocked the hackers there too. Although it will be harder for Activision to fight back, assuming they don't have some kind of online update system which stores and updated dol in a channel or somewhere.

MrKinator (or whoever developed/used similar tools for RB1/2) may have exposed themselves more to activision by downloading songs they never purchased (assuming they tested it to see if it worked, for research only of course lol!). Instead of many pirates using their tools to nab songs they didn't pay for, only a select few IPs would be seen downloading these files without a record of payment.
Of course this is assuming they're monitoring this sort of thing, which they may start doing eventually. It'd be interesting to see if it actually affects sales at all in the end.

If it really is as easy as people say, we may soon see a RB1/2 DLC enabler and DLC. Hopefully this won't negatively affect paid users who could lose the ability to redownload tracks to a new/formatted wii.

Thing is...they CANT TELL if you are using the pirated DLC (in the way Mrkinator and co developed). This way, the detection can be done on the online servers, because instead of enabling the files in the music store (in the same way as if you bought them), it distributes them all. Just add a check to see if there is a song present that wasn't downloaded from the store -> instant ability to track you down.

Hey, for those of you that have it working, does your Music Store in the game work properly? I had placed maybe 5 songs using the program and method in this thread. That all works. When I go into the Music Store, it says checking for new songs or whatever it normally does and it appears to be downloading the list of new songs. When I look in the Store and New Releases section, it says no songs found on server. But when I look in the Setlist tab, then I think I see all the songs including numerous ones that I have not downloaded or purchased or used this hack on but it appears as if I had purchased all of them previously which I did not. There is a button to Redownload the songs. I haven't tried to "Redownload" a song I never had yet.
QUOTE(hxcmusic @ Jun 20 2009, 12:16 AM) DaFees are you loading the game from Disc or USB? You need to load from disc it's the only way to copy the songs back over to the SD card in game. And try installing on IOS 38... worked for me.

Yeah Dent... Messing with your IOSs can really wreak havoc on some things, you may never be able to legally purchase songs again thru the music store... The good news is... now you don't have to!

Hahaha! And that is why piracy wins!

Anyway I tried copying over a few songs to the Wii at a time, but only the last one I installed showed up... does that really mean that you can only copy one song at a time?!?!?!

When it takes you half and hour to copy over 6 songs you really start to think these things are really worth the $2.

And that is why piracy fails!

So for the ones that have it working, have any of you had the guts to try and download a song through the Music Store you haven't paid for or hacked just to see if it is possible?

icefireicefire · Jun 20, 2009

I wouldn't - its easily detectable...

Hmm i´m pretty sure they still can tell if you payed for it or not !?

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The DLC does NOT work on PAL copies of the game!

After trying numerous things I couldn't get my DLC to work on my PAL machine with PAL game. I took an NTSC version for my PAL wii and it worked instantly.

So as for now, there is NO known way to get the Guitar Hero DLC to work with a PAL copy of the game. Use an NTSC version of the game and it should work flawlessly!

did you try changing the ID of the DLC to the pal version?

I personally hate guitar hero, so I don't have it, but if someone is willing to try, I can walk them through it. Would take all of 5 minutes.

No I didn't, but I'm fine with using an NTSC copy

Also no bricking? Someone told me that installing NTSC-wads Bricks your PAL Wii, So I never tried it before. Other games run fine.

Did you use Backup launcher or USB Loader?
which firmware & cIOS version?

Click to expand...

No bricks. The DLC installer isn't region bound. The DLC is pretty much like adding a different region save on your wii. It doesn't harm you.
I use the normal disc channel since I have a wiikey. I'm on firmware 3.1 (never been higher) and cIOS rev13.

Are you installing the song and then afterwards installing the correct TITLE wad? I had the same problem when I didn't install the GHWT_Title_Files_PAL_REV1.wad file after installing 1979.

Im using the Title_files that come with the song itself,

I did do just one song, I'm saying I did the process with two different songs, but still get the same outcome.
I think I tried the 2 songs 6 different times, changing the IOS, changing the order in which I download the wads, and a few repeats here and there, but still.

Its morning and Im more awake now to try other things.

DarkunderdoG · Jun 20, 2009

For those of you having problems getting songs to show up in archive in GHWT try the following

Launch Wad Manager: Uninstall the Song Wad / Title Wad you installed

Launch DLC Installer And Reinstall

Try now...

jpref · Jun 20, 2009

Only 1 song can be done at once I found, which is likely because the titles only has one entry. It would be great down the road if they released the entire titles entry as one wad, but cant complain.

jlg6184 · Jun 20, 2009

Hey, quick question, does anyone know what the title ID for DLC installer is? It errored while trying to install it and I can't remove it thru WadManager, so I have to use anytitledeleter.

It will only allow 1 track at a time.

First fire up wii with sd card in but before you do anything go into settings and check wii memory. Remove SD pay and play content from the wii memory NOT the sd card. ONLY DO THIS THE FIRST TIME JUST TO CLEAR ANYTHING IN THE WII MEMORY

1) Clear out your wad directory (just to keep it simple)
2) Extract the files from the rar - it only shows 1 file but extracts the song wad and the title wad into the wad directory
3) Put SD card back in and boot wii up
4) Start DLC
5) Leave at IOS249
6) Load song.wad from sd card
7) Load title.wad but notice that 3 lines from top once you have chosen it still says Select Action: . Use the left/right on the controller so it says ticket and install
8) Press Home button when installed to restart wii
9) Load GH
Go into options/archives and move song across to sd card
Voila!!

If you follow this but the the song doesn't show in the archive then you are using the wrong version of GH3. I have a hard modded wiikey which is PAL but this will not work with a PAL GHWT for me. As soon as I put NTSC GH it worked perfectly. Some report that pal works with pal some NTSC with NTSC and vice versa.

Also remember that whichever version works for you (pal or ntsc) make sure you grab the correct version wads to install (PAl for PAL etc)

Repeat for each song with the exception of clearing the wii memory. (1st time only) I have tried with 63 tracks and all worked (Only kept 3 lol)

jlg6184 · Jun 20, 2009

Alright, I found the TITLE ID for DLC Installer, but it doesn't appear the installer ever installed as I can't find the TITLE ID on the WII --thru anytitledeleter. Does the installer have a requirement that the wii needs for it to install? or does it not work with something (such as CIOSCorp or Preloader?)

CosmoKramer · Jun 20, 2009

Crap. I finally got the songs to show up in memory with my NTSC Wii, Game and DLC. But after already installing 30 songs with the PAL version, lol

But i did what DarkunderdoG said and uninstalled the the song/title wads that i orginally tried installing, using the regular Wad Manager. Deleted the DLC Savefile from wii memory, not the regular savefile. Re-installed the song/title again with default IOS249. This time i used SoftChip to load a backup of the game with everything disabled, but had 002 fix on (don't know if that helped lol), last time i was using retail game thru disc channel. Went into the archive, and the song was there. But got an error when trying to copy it to SD card. Then loaded the game thru regular disc channel and song was still there and transferred fine.

zidane_genome · Jun 20, 2009

wow... just installed the WAD via WadManager 1.4, and it worked perfectly... didn't touch the other TITLES FILE crap...

Nice, good for you even, but I can't get the stupid Installer channel to install...I thought it did a partial install, thus I looked for the TITLE ID, but realized it never installed anything, it just failed to install outright...So I am still trying to figure out how to install the DLC installer as it isn't working for me in W.Manager 1.4 (attempted installing thru IOS249)

zidane_genome · Jun 20, 2009

Don't do the DLC installer...

Just install the song.wad files with the official WADManager 1.4...

works perfectly
