Hacking RawkSD

[D34DL1N3R]

Thanks for the spreadsheet but I think it would be much more helpful and/or easier to read if it was just a list of all songs from all of the games, and next to the titles - list which game is the best to import that song from. Or even better, have a separate column for each game that lists the songs you should import from it.

Well, it seems we will be able to enjoy RawkSD 3 very soon (kudos to the developers)

In preparation I have some questions:

I reserved a 50GB FAT32 partition in my HDD for the songs I could import from the games and customs and I would like to know if the new version will detect it right away or some kind of software will be needed (or if I need to start looking somewhere else to store them...)

All you will need is the latest, UNPATCHED IOS37. But RawkSD will install it for you automatically if you don't already have it. And yes FAT32 is what you need, as NTFS will not be supported.

Hey fellas. I just imported all of my disc images in RawkSD 3.0 beta and I am getting an error on some of the songs. This is the error:

I just got this error and pasted it here when trying to edit the genre of the NIN song from the first track pack. I also got the error from the Rock Band 1 disc for Mississippi Queen by Mountain in particular when I went to edit the genre of the song. I right clicked and selected edit and that error popped up. I had the option to Continue or Quit. But I couldn't edit the genre even if I continued; it wouldn't save the info. And just to make it clear, it wasn't only these two songs... so I'm not sure what my issue is

Here comes the REAL problem. I decided to delete Mississippi Queen and try to re-import it from the disc image... but I can't seem to figure out how! If I open the ISO again, the song does not appear anywhere! Help!

Edit: And if it helps more... when I try to re-open the RB1 disc image, the following errors are pasted into the log for, apparently, ALL songs:

Edit: Sorry tueidj! Just trying to help. I will try to delete my post.

This is a closed beta, we are taking feedback via IRC or the wiki from the selected group of testers. If you want to use the program anyway that's your choice, but please don't clog this thread with bug reports about it.

Haven't used RawkSD in a while, actually haven't played any games in a long time. Just getting back to stuff including Homebrew and a lot has changed over the last few months. I updated all my Hack Mii stuff with their newest versions to get this new USB2 compatibility, which also necessitated the official System Menu update to 4.3. Also patched IOS 249 to the latest (version 20 I believe) and also have to reinstall some other custom IOS (222 and 223 at least) but that's not what this is about. I was in the process of testing a lot of my games and fired up the ol' RB2 disc to check on my customs. The game loads, the SD card loads (customs I currently have are mostly RB1 and a TP I think), and I can even browse my full song selection. When I went to play a custom song (Mississippi Queen for completion's sake) it gave me the error "could not load into system memory."

My first troubleshooting step was to fire up the RawkSD patcher and try to reload that, assuming the system update did some stuff to certain IOSs. Well, twice tried the patcher and it just gives me "installer fail!" For fun's sake I tried to run the customs installer again and it unceremoniously failed as well, which I expected at that point.

Any guidance on what I can do to get my customs back? Thanks in advance.

silly question but when rawk sd 3.0 and i have dark corps and i play the legit version of rock band 2 will other games that i have back up won't be able to play?

SFenton, thanks for the bullet list, as begrudgingly it seems you wrote it. Basically you're saying just reinstall IOS37? Since you're not being very specific on the the version I take it that doesn't matter. Does Dop-Mii actually download the IOS to install? Or do I have to use something like NUS downloader to do that?

Thanks for the help.

Dop-Mii will download it for you.

And I only say it begrudgingly because I and many others have mentioned it so many times already.

if you not going answer the question then don't bother to type at all to this.

and if youre not going to take the time to pose your questions in english, dont post them in the first place.

lets break it down, shall we?

silly question

we're off to a bad start already, arent we? but its not like you didnt warn us.

but when rawk sd 3.0

feels like we need a verb in there, doesnt it? when rawksd what, exactly? hovers? fellates? hits puberty?

and i have dark corps

after marine, dark is one of my favorites corps, btw. anyhoo, these two things are fairly unrelated, 'cept maybe having installed such software on your wii, you might have fuxxored the legit ios that rawksd and rb2 use to make your simple life worth living, but i cant imagine thats really the concern for the devs of rawksd.

and i play the legit version of rock band 2

which i'm sure, as a darkcorps user, you most assuredly have in your possession.

will other games that i have back up won't be able to play?

this is where your ponce train mercilessly goes right off the rails kid, and its mostly about that will and that wont in the same sentence - not only is it a grammatical nightmare, but thematically it fails to resonate as well. how on earth would an installation of rawksd have any effect at all on your ability to play your back ups on your dark corps? its like you the thread, the entire thread.

listen, i know you are excited about rawksd 3, i'm excited about rawksd 3, some guys in another thread are so damn excited about rawksd 3 that they are willing to steal, hexedit, and suffer through 15 minute load times just to emulate its capabilities, but you are just gonna need to be patient and wait, like everybody else. posting your ill-conceived and poorly constructed flights of fancy in this thread aint gonna make it be released any faster, and no one can help you with any problems that you dont even have yet if you dont develop some language (not to mention people) skills, sport.

SFenton, cool. I'll give this a go today. Sorry if you feel you are answering the same questions over and over. I do keep up with this thread with daily digests from GBAtemp, but answers to the question "I lost mah IOS 37, what do I do?" tend to not stand out when it doesn't yet apply to you. Hey, now I know and can maybe answer the next one for you!

Thanks.

well excuse me!! i want someone that makes rawksd 3 to answer not some one like mr adolf gammar nazi like you to post that's too much for me to read. a simple yes or no would of been fine. i'm just asking for anyone of the testers that use's rawksd 3 that use's dark corps. not you so if i get smart ass respond from you i will post this thread full of the most nasty picture you will ever seen you have been warned bucko you have been warned!!

please dont post a smartass answer onclejulien. nobody wants to see djplace's myspace mirrorshots

 

[SFenton]

Looks like OnJu's going to have to battle the Dark Corps. Assemble the light corps!

 

[DJPlace]

darkness will consume all!!

 

[Szalkow]

DJPlace: to answer your question legitimately, RawkSD 3.0 will require you to use a clean IOS37 and will offer to install said IOS for you, necessitating the replacement of the CORP'd IOS37. Your other CORP'd IOSes will not be affected, so any pirated game that runs under those will load as usual. However, any game which normally runs under IOS37 (RB2 and several others I can't be bothered to look up fall into this list) will not work as a backup since IOS37 will not be pirate-enabled.

As an addendum, I would encourage you to do research and have a better understanding of what you are doing to your Wii when you install programs, especially programs as crude and intrusive as DARKCRAP.
