IRC Channel: #RawkSD on EFnet (Join us on Mibbit)

RawkSD is brought to you by Aaron "AerialX", tueidj, and Mrkinator.​

Download RawkSD v2.02 (September 4th, 2009)

Installation and Usage Guide
RawkSD allows you to install custom songs as DLC onto an SD card, to be played on Rock Band 2.
It also allows you to importing songs from all Rock Band and Guitar Hero games. Read the guide for more information.
It supports everything up to the most updated Wii, though you must run the included patcher before using it.

A good website to gather custom songs from is ScoreHero (or Rock Band ScoreHero).

For those who use customs/exports, don't forget to add your RB2 Friend Code to our list!

NOTE: RawkSD does not work when Rock Band 2 is loaded with recent cIOS releases, which means no backup or USB/SD loaders. Use an original disc.

Special thanks goes out to nanook and GameZelda for their work on Guitar Hero hacking!

[HisshouBuraiKen]

Huzzah! Can't wait to mess with this tonight. Thanks for the hard work!

 

[parrurreichon]

hmm one question , does this release of rawksd marks every song in the rockband store as purchased :/ ? , i dont want my sister to think that i purchased songs i dont and download any, only to be banned or lose my purchases :/

 

[lyoozero]

I love you.

 

[caitsith2]

It does not, and it will not ever mark any of the songs as purchased, not even the free ones.

 

[parrurreichon]

oh thanks, i was worried about that

 

[lyoozero]

Bu the way, can't we import track packs? I noticed there is only an option for RB1 and GH3/A

 

[parrurreichon]

just select rock band 1 and it will work I think, they use the same engine

 

[locustlx]

i know this may sound a bit noobish...but how may i attempt to install cIOScorp37 on a 4.0u wii, considering the fact that cIOScorp only works on systemmenu 3.2

I've heard that cIOScorp v1 works on 4.0 but should i risk it...what should I do?

Also: great work on this guys...can't wait to convert my guitar hero:311 game into a rock band 2 custom (song 1 done)

 

[Robotic Earthlin]

Nooo! I don't have room for RB1 and the two track packs. >_< Guess it's time for me to get a 4GB (non-SDHC) SD card.

Awesome work guys! I'm just about ready to try it. I'll update when I do.

EDIT: Tried some imported RB1 songs and they work great.

 

[ShadowChaos]

i tried adding master of puppets(it has drums) and it just freezes on the loading screen, do i have to still do the empty drum track thing?

 

[lyoozero]

Just finished dumping AC/DC track pack. I'll make video and uploaded it on youtube soon.

 

[wertyer]

Will it work if I use the ps2 version of rockband1? And BTW THANK YOU!!! THIS IS
AMAZING!!!!

 

[Robotic Earthlin]

Um... It's taking about 8 minutes to install each song to the SD card. Is it supposed to take that long?

Because at this rate it's going to take about 11 hours to install 1.5 GB of RB songs.

EDIT: Thanks AerialX, that worked fine.

A lot of people seem to be having SD write speed problems... A temporary solution is to copy your SD card folders over to your hard drive, select that folder for the SD card, and install it. Then copy them back. This goes way faster.

I'm working on speeding it up, we'll see if I can release a fix soon.

Can't we just select a folder on the hard drive and them copy the flies to the SD?

THANKS!

I tried do play a custom, but it didn't work. Right when the game loaded, you know when the game shows the character you are using, I heard the same when you complete a star, and when the song started there were 3 gold stars... I was like WTH!? The song was playing but notes weren't coming, and about 7 seconds later, the game froze.
Also I just finished recording my Thunderstruck sightread, and I'll be uploading it soon.
And by the way, the GUI for the installer is AWESOME.
