Hacking RawkSD

[SMGPlayer]

Hi, I have gotten in the same situation as this guy.

Got a problem with RawkSD, when ever i select Update SD Save I get this error.

So i tried ignoring it and run it on the Rawk SD installation on the Wii but unfortunatley when i run Rock Band 2 now it freezes if the SD card is in it

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Net FrameWork 3.0 but that still didn't help the RawkSD error. Hope you can solve the problem

*update* Rock Band 2 will freeze even if the SD card is not in it. Freeze's when it tries to read add on content list at the start before going into the main menu

Can't play Rock Band now

What can I do to fix this?

How can I have multiple audio tracks?

Hey, I've been out of the loop for a couple of months, and I'm a little bit unsure of exactly what I need to get custom/RB1 songs up and running. Here is my setup:

- PAL Wii System Menu 4.0, updated and patched

- A backup copy of Rock Band 2. It's NTSC, so I can't connect to the shop with it either =/

- I use a Backup Launcher Gamma 0.3 channel to boot all my backups. No softchip, cIOSCORP, Preloader, USB Loaders or anything like that. At the moment using this method boots RB2 fine, so I'm just sticking to that for now instead of buggering around with even more stuff

- I use the GHWT instruments with RB2, no need for USB except for the mic.

- I have whatever cIOS from waninkoko that was released in April... Rev 10 I believe.


So what I need to know is what extra stuff do I have to chuck onto my Wii so I can get the customs to load correctly. I need to be sure I can do it using my backup copy before I go and grab Rock Band 1 from the store, I don't want to buy a whole new set of instruments just that game.

I am a little bit iffy about cIOSCORP, but if I have to I have to I guess

I know theres a patched IOS37 with RawkSD, but it seems that would only work with the original or a modchip. If possible it would be nice to just keep using Backup Loader Gamma, however it would be nice to get word from someone with a tad more know-how.

Anyways, any help is appreciated... if it can't be done yet for backup copies then it's all good, but it would still be very nice to get some extra songs working on RB2

The thing without having access to the store is that you need some DLC data(like a free song) to get these to install.

Just thought you'd like to know that it works great on Linux, provided it's a 32 bit install! I needed to have the MS core fonts installed, but besides that it was pretty smooth. I've now got GH3 and RB1 songs working great with RB2, thank you so much!

That's not true. People with PAL wiis are able to use RawkSD without downloading any tracks.

well, for one thing, that's how it has to be done. Basically, you have to do installations in between the OK - Cancel menu, or at least Customs -> Update SD Save. If it's really not working, then there might be a problem. In-between the OK - Cancel menu, there should be a file /rawk/rb2/data on the SD card. Is it there?

i need some help with this they won't show up and on the the pc one it says that i haven't used the wii installe yet which i have and i also updated the save to. i don't get this In-between the OK - Cancel menu, there should be a file /rawk/rb2/data on the SD card. thanks for the help. i have the latest ios too hope it helps. can someone please help me i've been trying this for hours

You're still doing it wrong.

First run the patcher (only if you haven't done so already).
Run the installer and click install. It should say preparing for customs then tell you to take the card to the PC and install customs. DON'T CLICK OK, just do what it says. Once you've installed customs on the card using the pc, take the card back to the wii and THEN click ok.

Can somebody make a tutorial (preferably with screenshots) on how to take a FoF song with multiple OGGs (Like drums.ogg, guitar.ogg, etc) and combine them into one ogg file. I think I am doing it wrong as my songs tend to stutter at various points... yet if I do just a stereo mix the songs play fine.

Thanks in advance.

Import all of the tracks into audacity. Click on edit and go to preferences. In there, go to file formats and click on advanced mixing options. Then export the file and it will let you choose how many channels you want to use.

 

[tueidj]

If you can't find that option in Audacity, update to the beta version. The current stable version does not include it.

Oh, I should have mentioned - I DID chart a drum part. Unlike guitar and bass, though, even if you have chart a drum track, without some more nudging your drummer won't do anything.

Thanks to tueidj's help I was able to get my drummer to do stuff. Made a vid, will upload it and describe how to do it when it's done.
My bad... That was obvious it wouldn't work as drummer's animations are realistic compared to guitarist's and bassist's!

QUOTE(doctorfaust @ Jul 6 2009, 01:47 AM) Success! Thanks to tueidj's help, I got drummer animations working properly. Unfortunately, it's actually a lot of work - unlike the guitar/bass tracks, you have to chart each individual drum hit as another note in the .mid. Somewhere down the line, maybe somebody will make a program that will add these animations in semi-automatically from the drum chart, but for now it's a lot of work. If you're masochistic and still want to try...

Woaw this is some great work! As I am a masochist I think I'll give it a try! But I need to get my Vultures by The Offspring chart back first.

i've done that do i need to have some dlc off the store downloaded cause i haven't downloaded any yet.oh and something to mention whenever i try to install the customs to the sd using the pc app it says that i havent used the wii installer to prepare the dlcand says new customs won't appear unless i run the installer? thanks

 

[tueidj]

Have you actually played RB2 before? Can you see the Rock Band 2 save game in the data management screen? You DO NOT need to have downloaded any songs.

Is it possible to use the xbox 360 DLC in RawkSD?

 

[tueidj]

Is it possible to use the xbox 360 DLC in RawkSD?

No. It's for customs not piracy.

 

[ccfman2004]

No. It's for customs not piracy.

I mean importing purchased DLC from the xbox 360 to the Wii version as there many songs that are not on the Wii version, yet.

 

[tueidj]

If you know how to rip DLC from your xbox you shouldn't need me to tell you what to do.

 

[Hiro77]

Ok, I solved all my installing problems with the latest rawkSD build,
but now I get the "license of song expired error" launching the game through any means, including YAOSM chip.

I guess that I'll have to try cIOScorp.

Can anyone link me to a good guide / download page, please? I'm on 3.2E. Thanks!
(having a modchip I never bothered trying it 'till now...)



EDIT: just to try I re-ran the rawk patcher... and it FAILED!! error 10XX (where XX are numbers I don't remember... X-P)
anybody knows what's the matter? (yes, I have IOS37 installed) thanks!

 

[ccfman2004]

If you know how to rip DLC from your xbox you shouldn't need me to tell you what to do.

I have no problem ripping the DLC from my 360 hard drive.

I wanted to know if it is possible to use it in the Wii version.

Are there any specific step I need to follow to get the 360 DLC working or do I just follow the normal custom steps?

I'm getting that old content error as well.
But I think I know the problem...just not how to fix it.
I can't get ios37 to install as 232...in fact I can't get it to install at all...I also can't delete it either. When I try to use the multi ios installer I get to the end and then it says this
The RawkSD patcher installed successfully...but I can't get this installation to work at all.

ES_Add contentstart************************failed: -1017
or something like that...any idea why I can't delete ios37 and also why it won't let me install it as 232?

Everything else will work fine as soon as I get this one problem fixed.
