DS #2380: Guitar Hero: On Tour (USA)

[AmstraD]

yeah ! what the hell with german pets and horses ?!

I was about to buy it, then i saw the tracklisting.... Some good bands with the wrong songs. A bit desapointed with the Consensual choices, any chance to play a dillinger escape plan song or Van Halen's solo in "Eruption" :/

 

[Rayder]

I might try it if someone makes a hack for the little button box, otherwise I'll never miss playing it.

I bought flashcarts so I don't have to buy games......it would have to be a hell of a lot more interesting game than this for me to buy it.

Anyone know how we can unpack the gob file?

 

[Stanny]

Now we`re waiting for, say, HORI fret attechment?

 

[WildWon]

*sigh* i'll prolly drop a c-note on this biznach. Wife® will want it, then i'll want it, then that hundred dollars is out the door for a game we'll play about 3/4's of the way through until we're bored with it, then it'll sit on a desk collecting dust.

Man, i love dishing out mad cash for desk decorations.

...but it'll happen.

I hope this gets hacked. If it's any good I would buy it, but not without trying it first.

Since nobody answers wabstas questions:

Damnit, I still have to wait till 18 july here...
That's like, a little less then a month!

One question, no, actualy two:
The lttle cartridge thing for the DSPhat, is it okay?
You can use it in both the DS Phat and DS Lite. The game comes with two different cases if I'm not mistaken. Either way, you can use it.
QUOTE(wabsta @ Jun 24 2008, 09:31 AM) And could I put other dslite cartridges in it? (Like my M3Real Rumble pack, which is litesized, and an EzFlash3-in-1, cause the phat version is harder to find in Holland).

Nope, that won't work. Unless you remove the half of the cartridge and push it in the Slot-2

But it's not practical at all. Just do what I did: buy a 3in1 from totalgba.com.

Okay, thank you, that was clear to me

And I'll look on the site you gave me, thank you

Honestly, why would someone dump this knowing that without that attachment the game won't work, unless they know of a hack to make it work

Because you can still buy the game for the attachment and then play the game on your Slot-1 with the Attachment on.

now that's just really stupid. OK you download the game. then you fork over 30+ bucks for the game plus the attachment and just use the attachment. Then what will you do with the actual cart?

Tell me if that makes any sense

Some people just don't get it. For a start, people dump ROMs for reasons other than so kids can play them on their R4s. There are people who collect the ROMs, people who are interested in their internal workings, extracting sound and graphics, looking at differences between an already released game and a newly found demo, people who want to hack the game to work without the add-on. And of course people who can't be bothered carrying the cart around when they can just plonk the file on their TF card. Groups also want to up their release count and if you don't dump a ROM, someone else will. If you've got a cart, you dump it and make it available. It doesn't matter if it's a demo of a game that's already released, a game with specialist hardware like this or Kirby Tilt'n'Tumble or yet another German horse game that no-one wants to play.

But even bearing all that in mind, this release isn't even useless to people who 's interest in the DS Scene only extends to playing free games. Consider this - Say next year, Guitar Hero on Tour 2 comes out, complete with add-on. It's got a much better song list, so you buy it. You then decide now you've got the add-on that you might as well give the first one a go as well. Oh, you can't, the groups didn't bother dumping it because people would cry about how useless it was. Never mind. Oh look, the add-on's being sold separately now as well, so people with the first game can just buy the sequel rather than a bundle. You could have just bought that and downloaded both games. But unfortunately the ROMs were 'useless' so no-one dumped them.

The stupidest line in that post is "unless they know of a hack to make it work". How is anyone going to see if they can hack it to make it work independent of the peripheral without the ROM, genius?

Moral of the story - Just because a release is useless to you, it doesn't mean it's useless to everyone. And even if a release is useless to you now, it doesn't mean it always will be.

Those stupid releasegroups shouldn't have released this before they hacked it!

Just kidding, you're absolutely right. This release already belongs to my collection

I love the track list actually.........okay not love but like and while i like hardcore songs as well i say that this track list is better for the ds because it appeals to alot of people with current songs. I am getting this and i like the track list i mean just wait a bit and soon you can put your own songs in it

 

[RoD131]

OK, apparently someone has managed to extract some songs of the gob file.

"Well, using NOVA Extractor, I ended up with 59 mono .ogg audio files that are not encrypted in any way. I've yet to find any note charts...
My guess is the gfc is like the header, and the gob holds all of the files the game uses."

.. in response to someone asking about the files.

It's possible to make a hack to use the DS buttons instead of the add-on.. but that would be uncomfortable and wouldn't be as fun as with the guitar thing.. I'll wait for some reviews and decide if it's worth buying..

 

[layzieyez]

I'll have to try it out before I buy. I tried comparing the picture to the scale of my hand to the DS and it looks like a pretty tight fit. I'd love to play GH on the go, but not if I can't play with my fat fingers (and my fingers aren't really that fat either).

I feel ya', man, but this is one I'd actually love to buy. But at $50, forget about it. That attachment looks to be about the same quality as some of the toys I've seen come in Happy Meals. There's no way it's worth an extra $20 to me. Too bad, too, since the game looks really cool. IGN gave it a 9.

 

[Anakir]

I didn't reading the first 5 pages of comments. lol. But, I do hope that a homebrew will come out that uses this controller. That way, at least I'll purchase it 'cause I don't like the song selections.

Customized playlist for the win.

 

[Rod]

Well, here's one that I won't be playing anytime soon. =P

Thankfully I have a lot of friends with DS's, and I'm pretty sure at least one or two of them will be getting the game. Surely I won't play it much, but at least I'll know how does it feel with the add-on.

[Trolly]

Surely (though you'd get horrible speeds) with some bluetoothery and No$GBA + my Wii guitar + some hacking you could play this with the Wii guitar on your PC. Whether it's worth it, who knows.
Waiting for a hack, even if it'll take half of the fun out of it. I have noooo money.

lol indeed

 

[imbored]

I think I would buy a third party peripheral if it were more comfortable than the one included. My complaints are that it doesn't snap into the GBA slot like I think it should and can come loose while playing, and also really isn't that comfortable to have the hand that is fingering the frets also supporting the DS.

 

[AlexFili]

Quite a good way of discouraging piracy, but I think a hack will surface in the near future. If you're just sensing for 4 button presses, you just change the buttons that are required. But thats my programmers head talking right there!

 

[gratefulbuddy]

Heres the instructions for the adapter so every can see how it adapts for the Phatty.
