Quick question: First, I understand that I can't run RB2 off a USB loader or anything like that. I'm using a retail disc in the normal disc channel and I'm fine with that. I recently installed USB Loader GX using this guide. I haven't tried to play RB2 since then. I've been using RawkSD (1.x, I think). I don't fully understand everything it did about IOSes and such so... Should I expect the steps I took to install USB Loader GX interfere with RawkSD or my purchased DLC? Or can I just boot RB2 (again, a retail disc launched from the disc channel) and expect all my DLC and RawkSD imports to be exactly as they were before?

If it did mess them up, can I just go through the normal steps to install RawkSD like new without interfering with USB Loader GX or is there anything special I need to do? I didn't want to boot RB2 until I knew if it was screwed up because I was afraid of corrupting my save file or something like that.

Rock Band 2 depends on IOS37. Your purchased DLC is tied to your Shop Account and a list of what you've downloaded is saved in a special savefile. Nothing that you've done to get USB Loader GX working should interfere with this, as it uses cIOS249 and doesn't mess up the saves. It is possible to switch freely between Rock Band 2 via USB Loader and disc and they will use the same gameplay save (and without any real fear of save corruption), but DLC and RawkSD customs will not work correctly.

I previously installed songs with Rawk SD on my Wii and then I deleted them off my SD card and I put new ones on with the installer and such. Then I went back into RockBand and it still had the old songs from a while ago and I selected it and it obviously said cannot restore song or something, so what can I do to get my new Customs to show up.

You have to run the wii RawkSD app and choose "Install Customs" every time you change the songs on the card or download new songs.

I did with the same results

Delete the contents of both the private/cRBA and rawk/rb2/customs folders and try again, by installing everything from PC again and then "Install Customs" on the Wii.

Why would you have to mod your GH guitar? That is all I use for Rock Band 2.

I wish St Claus brings a new Rawk 3.0
It's a good present for Christmas but I think that we will have to wait to new year

Happy Christmas and happy new year for all people of GBAtemp and fans of Rawk

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
