It's been a few weeks since the OP was updated. Is the method listed still the best way to do everything, or is there new methods/procedures found since then to make things go more smoothly? Would be nice if all of the new info would be implemented into the tutorial/guide.

posts 63, 83 and 89 are the only ones with additional tips not in the original guide, and these are all to fix problems you might not have, so the guide is still fine.
63 tells you how to improve loading speed, though won't be of use if you have downloaded all the music store songs
83 tells you how to import more than 255 songs into RB2 as each DLC "generation" can only hold 255 songs
89 tells you how to import songs which don't appear in RawkSD2 after you've ripped them from disc

Hi marcd2009,
Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm using 2.02 but I got it now working now. Seems after removing the tuning offset, I need to replace the data aka rockbnd2.dat with a good fresh copy from the nand everytime I need to do SD save. If not the file size will keep increasing when updating the same rockbnd2.dat for more then twice.
Just to update, simply here's what I did:
- Following very similar to the old method in 1st post, pointing to an empty folder on my desktop called SDPC, I installed the customs with RawkSD3 from multiple RB/GH ISO source but without replacing cRBA in the RawkSD3 conf file as mentioned in the original steps (Need not wait and switch inbetween 255 max custom list).
- RawkSD3 will create new folders SDPC\private\wii\data\cRB* with *.bin files and folders SDPC\rawk\rb2\customs\songtitle with data files.
- To fix the 255 max customs as pointed by secamfr in Post #83: Using a simple perl script I wrote, pointing it to the two location above created by RawkSD3, it'll recursively go deep into those folders replacing occurrence cRBA->sZXE, cRBB->sZYE, cRBC->sZZE in the *.bin and songtitle\data files.
- To fix the missing customs as pointed by marcd2009 in Post #89: Using the same script again, it'll recursively remove the "tuning_offset" occurrence in the "data" files from SDPC\rawk\rb2\customs\songtitle.
- The rest of the steps are as per 1st post. Additionally with 2 extra folders and 2 extra tickets *.tik files to create as pointed by secamfr in Post #83.
Now all sZXE, sZYE and sZZE including Gen1 to the latest Gen5 sZEE are now showing in the game song list, took about 15mins from loading stuffs to normal jamming. Thanks marcd2009, secamfr and graNBerro too =p
I am getting random freezes. I have about 1,200 songs. I followed the instructions as closely as possible, but I didn't bother with the hex editing of the songs that didn't show up. any ideas?
I wasn't getting the freezes until I added the imports. I have no customs just imports from other games and I am getting freezing quite often. I can play like 1-2 songs and then it just hangs.

I also got a lot of freezes when attempting NAND emulation awhile back. It seems a bit unstable with RB2.
Just wait for RawkSD3. It's worth it.
i think the developers are going out of their way to make sure RawkSD3 will be useless for most people, that being people not using a RB2 disc, and with cracked DLC.
its a bit like those tossers at apple writing applications that dont run on windows, isnt it?marcd2009 said:

I dunno, it works pretty damn well for me. 800+ songs, initial load in less than 10 seconds, more stable than NAND emulation... Yes, your RB2 disc and DLC have to be legit, but that's a small price to pay. Literally.
If you really want to pirate, I'm fairly sure RawkSD3 can't tell the difference between a game ripped into an iso from your Wii and a downloaded one.

marcd2009: You mean people that want to play the game without buying anything. You can't tell me that many people uses all RB2 DLCs. I would say that most people only uses for the type of music they like. Personally I have about 80 DLC that I like and bought because they were not on any of the GH,RB or RB2 disc. When a new one comes out and we like it than we spend our $2.00 to get it It is pretty amazing to be able to load all those songs and play them through RB2 without having to swap any disc.
I just wish that they would had added RB The Beatles, but beggers are not choosers.

Forgive me for asking, but how are we not being calm by responding truthfully to someone who is insinuating that those who illegally downloaded Rock Band 2 deserve the full value of a program that is very well known to only work with legitimate, pressed discs?
SFenton said:
lol you guys get wound up so easily. I didn't insinuate a thing, and I don't mind if RawkSD 3 works or not as this solution is just fine, and more flexible, so thanks to granberro for his work. Sure it takes 10 mins to load but that's not really a big deal, and it's just down to uloader. If they ever figure out how to improve nand emulation then it'll improve loading times on this as well.
My point is valid though, if 'cracked dlc' doesn't work on Rawk surely means that the developers have coded it to recognise if it is cracked dlc as the game itself doesn't even recognise it's cracked it when loaded from a disc, hence "gone out of their way". And forcing the install of an unmodified ios37 instead of using the standard homebrew ioses of 249,222,223 would affect people running a backup of any ios37 game from the disc channel if they had installed cioscorp to do so. Sure it's their prerogative to do this if they so wish but it's why they get so much negative attention.
This works great! The only problem I'm having is with drum charts from Band Hero.
There are parts missing. I'm not sure what or how, but I played Sugar, We're Going Down and there were cymbal hits missing.
I'm guessing it's the orange cymbal for the GH drumset. I know it would be the green cymbal if I was playing it on Band Hero with the RB drumset.
That was the only song that I ripped so I don't know if it is like that for all of them.
If anyone knows how to fix it, that would be wonderful.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
-
@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
-
@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
