could i use the pal dlc on ntsc wii and ghwt ntsc game?

Very unlikely, otherwise they wouldn't release both NTSC and PAL versions of each song.
The region of your wii probably doesn't matter. The region of the games DOES.

However, it contains less inherent flaws, e.g. sp turning to solos, purple note absence, hold down note absence (Where you hold a sustain then tap on other notes), 5 drums, bass notes, 2 types of vocal fill, but RB charts would theoretically transfer quite well to GH.

You can not use that ..... you have to use DLC Installer... not wad manger...

just grabbed the DLC Installer and a few DLC songs, and it works like a charm

Out of curiosity, what is the default IOS that the DLC installer is using for you ? I'm able to install the songs just fine, but when i go in game, i don't see them anywhere. Archive section is blank. Although i did install them from a usb flashdrive, instead of an SD card. Ftpii would take forever to transfer the files

Okay, quick update for everyone:


I've succeeded in extracting the individual tracks from a DLC song, and am in the process of converting them to OGGs to use in Frets on Fire. I should have the first few songs uploaded and posted on FretsOnFire.net later this evening sometime. Keep checking back!

Two questions:

1. What format were they originally in?
2. What will happen to slide notes, ect? I know that FOF does not use things like that.

And by the way, thanks.

I guess. But the problem still is reconstructing the ngc.qb

No, I'm pissed that other people are able to make posts using my login. None of my recently edited posts were really made by me.

Of course.
Actually he's not lying, I posted as him a few times

The individual tracks are from the .bik file, and had to be extracted individually as WAV files. As far as the notes go, I haven't looked at them yet. If anything, I'll just extract the tracks and make them available along with the ngc file, so that someone smarter than I can figure out the notes at a later date, if they can't be readily converted.

I can't believe people are complaining. Even if there isn't anything you like in the DLC, it's 200+ more options.

And I do think it's funny that this ending up beating RAWKSD to release. How fitting since they told everyone to go and figure it out for themselves. And you know what, someone did.

I don't see what's particularly funny about it. IIRC, Mrkinator and RAWKSD weren't going to release it anyways so it's not like they were racing to do it. They were doing it mostly as a proof of concept. If they wanted glory, they would've posted it and as long as it halfway worked and regardless of how buggy it was, they would've gotten it. He announced (bragged, whatever) that they deed it main, without releasing it should've expected the whining and insulting.

Someone else would've eventually done it, and if Mrkinator wants to say YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT, at this point the ball's in his court and he can either let the cat out of the bag to show us The Way or expect the jeers. Don't get me wrong, I'd take advantage of hacked DLC like a schoolgirl on roofies, but RAWKSD wasn't racing. *shrug*

I'm having the same problem.. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

What I have:
PAL Wii 3.1
PAL Guitar Hero World Tour
SD card with 2 bought DLC on it.
Wiikey (using normal channel to boot world tour)

I used the DLC installer and installed both the song and title (both PAL) succesfully. I can see the guitar hero save file on my Wii also increased in size. However, when I launch the game, none of the DLC I installed can be seen. When I go to archive, there is no sign of any DLC being on my Wii (or my SD card minus the 2 songs I already had and paid for).

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
