Current System Settings:
3.2j japanese mod chipped wii.
homebrew channel
Menu Loader v0.5


I legally bought a copy of guitar hero: WT. and it works fine with regionfree settings on Menu Loader.
however, when i attempt to run an iso of ROCK BAND 2, it does not even recognize the disc.

What do i need to do to get it working?
is trucha signing involved?

You didn't download that phoney 600Meg thing did you?

Real Rock Band 2 is a full size ISO, approx 4.3 Gig.

And it blows away Guitar Hero World Tour in my opinion. That I wasn't expecting.

me neither, now to wait for someone to figure a way to create customs for it.

If it was that 600mb iso, its fake.
get the full sized one, patch it to jap region, burn and see if that works.

i got the legit version.

what do you mean patch it to jap version?
also, how would you go about patching it?

would that make the game totally in japanese(i dont want that)?
or would that just be the label the wii reads...

use regionfrii to patch the game to jap.

It doesn't change anything ingame, it just changes the way the wii reads the game.

Don't update, to bypass the update, use GeckOS. Since your not using the Rock band Instruments (I'm assuming you're using the GH:WT instruments), you don't need the update (and your wii's region is different from the game).

The Rock Band 2 ISO works fine on a PAL Wii with a wiikey installed so it's not a problem with the ISO.

However, when I load it ... it asks if I want to use "SD mode" I say yes but it then says it can't as I don't have 200 free blocks of Wii memory ?? That sounds like an awful lot of wii memory required for something that saves everything on the SD card ?

EDIT: I should point out (a) I have starfall installed so didn't get asked to update and (b) the only instrument I have tested on so far is a mic so I can't say if an update is required to get any other instruments working.

I can't get the game running either.
I have got a PAL wii with 3.1E firmware and wiikey.

The rockband logo channel appeares but when i press play the screen turns black and my wii freezes.
Could this be solved by an update? in that case, which update is safe to install? I've heard that the one on the mario kart disc is good, and does not break my trucha signed custom guitar hero discs?

Any responses are appreciated!

by changing the region using any region changer i was able to boot the disc and play well.

now all my jap games have to be booted through GeckoOS or Menu Loader.

does anyone know how to get rock band 1 songs onto rock band 2?

You can't (yet...), that feature is only for the X360/PS3. I'm gonna get it to work with customs (so you can load RB1 songs on the SD Card, hopefully)

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My ps3 short circuited during a deep clean still salty about it after downloading 2tbs worth but SteamDeck okay with emulation still just can't run mgs4 worth shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
