Hacking RawkSD

[faustt]

Is there a start to finish guide for making customs for use with Rawk SD? I've been looking into it and havn't run into anything explicitly for RawkSD. The only complete guide I found was for injecting customs onto the disc itself.

I get the basics of charting and syncing music etc... I understand I need to convert the chart to a midi file. I'm kinda lost after that though. I'm guessing the audio has to be in a specific format. Same with a directory structure and file names.

So has anyone written a start to finish guide for Rawk SD custom creation? GBAtemps search isn't helping me much.

Bonus points! Can anyone recommend a good charting app for Linux? I'm not too thrilled by the feel of EOF, but I could get used to it with time I guess. Ideally I'd like to do everything in Linux if possible. I can always add Windows back to my multiboot reluctantly if I have to.

Huh? Tutorial

Also try FFeedback .97b. Dunno about Linux support though; alternatively try Reaper.

Hi guys, long time and no post...

Well, this is probably late news but Harmonix released the info, setting RB3 to be out on 26th October 2010.

Do we have any chance of seeing Rawk 3.0 released before that?

I sincerely hope the devs don't lose interest and cancel the project now that it seems to be so close to a final release...

So, what's the current plan on Rawk's future ?

They definitely have not lost interest in this. Good things come to those that wait. And those who beta test

I'll bet it's out, or at least in beta, before then. Don't lose that hope, I guess.

Oh well, 2 GB cards rock, right?

Really? No one's said anything yet? It's fun to be a beta tester. It's quite a nice update. The FOF support is nice, if problematic at times (Charter's fault, not Aaron's). The intense SIZE of the update is massive. 400 something songs load no problem. Speed is massively faster than 2.0. Sorting by source works BEAUTIFULLY. This is basically the best thing to ever happen to me, so far as video games go, as I recently found out I wouldn't be able to afford RB3 for a while.

What's the fun of teasing them if you're gonna be up front about it?

Anyone who frequents the IRC knows about the closed beta (this means closed beta, if you're not on the list you literally cannot use the app). You non-participating slackers can wait til it's out to actually find out what's in it, but let me promise that it's worth the wait. It's amazing and nothing like it has ever been done before.

tl;dr HOLY SHIT I HAVE A THOUSAND SONGS AND NOTHING'S CONNECTED TO MY WII

 

[fubka]

kiss and tell, i want to beta too

Heh. Is your name on the list?
If not, the beta won't be of any use to you even if you get an advanced copy. It's awesome like that.

Also, astute people may find out more by searching YouTube.

Hurray for exclusion and territorial pissing.

cut the makers of rawksd a break!! god when it's out it's going be out!!

 

[megazig]

yay for people not helping test the leaderboard feature when it was being worked on

Odd that you're the one coming to their defense, but thanks for the warm fuzzies.

The devs have imposed a tentative self-deadline which I dare not reveal lest some cosmic accident causes it to take longer (but it shouldn't).

 

[titiln]

tried the beta and i am impressed; the feature that automatically makes complete charts for any mp3 of your choosing is amazing, and being able to pick between guitar hero and rock band quality for the charting is a nice bonus

Man... :c
I was really close to testing the leaderboards, I was just to lazy to set up riivolution...

Oh well, I can wait.

 

[OncleJulien]

I was really close to testing the leaderboards, I was just to lazy to set up riivolution...

in your defense, setting it up took nearly 2 minutes.

I know that's how lazy I am.

lol I didn't get the beta, either I didn't test early enough or because I'm uns211 on RB2. doesn't matter much since I haven't been able to play due to college prep and whatnot.

If your name is on the list (which it is) and you submitted the scores earlier than, say, a week ago, then you actually are on the beta. The link can be found in the IRC channel. They didn't actually hunt down everyone and PM them the link; the list is just used to determine which Wii console ID's are permitted to use the app.
EDIT: according to the devs, you're in the beta. Congrats. Go try it if you'd like.

Yeah I too was also on the leaderboards (CTK) and never got it. Then again, I haven't been on IRC in a while (I gotta remember to go more often).
