Hacking Rockband2 Music Store

Does it work for you softmod users? My Wii hangs when I try to enter it. Tried softchip and gamma, no luck.

Can you access the Wii Shop Channel?

Bout time it's up, but the free songs look like crap, and the ones that aren't free don't look much better.
I wonder why no one has made dlc wads for GH yet, or if anyone will make it for this.

 

[zapu]

Songs are great, just went into the store

going to download Snow and Hysteria

OH, nope, I'm not. Europe can't download anything

 

[crezwell]

yeah man, i just got in and its saying insufficient wii points for the free songs!!!! You reckon thats a region thing then? no announcement of a release date for europe yet either. what a shitter

http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/8581998/R...-2/Product.html says 30.01.2009, but I don't know how is it accurate.

I'll try to mess with the store some more in the morning. Damn, I really wanted to buy some of these songs. Good thing I did not order retail NTSC copy of the game...

I wanted to buy some songs but I have a PAL wii too!
can I change the shop region with anyregion changer 1.1b and access the US shop? would it work?

Are the free songs require a code?

EDIT: No! They are all 0 points!

 

[Mrkinator]

YES!! Rush/Metallica/The Who FTW! Gonna start on DLC Customs when I'm done rocking out

If I get it right, a guide should be posted in a week or 2

And no, the free song don't require the code, It's just there.

Anyone noticed that they're ripping off Wii owners ????

Songs on PS3 cost 99 cents when they first come out, there is no such deal with Wii owners. I hope it doesn't stay like this

BTW, I'm running a Wiikey 1, and the songs are there, free for everyone. I'm downloading one to test now.

I have a um, backup copy of RB2....

 

[coolbho3000]

How are these songs DRM'd, Mrkinator? I'd love to get my hands on songs without paying the Wii premium.

I'm not sure, I'm gonna take a look at it a little bit tonight.

I just popped in my SD Card into my PC and the files that get "backed up" By Rock band itself are .bin files

I downloaded a total of 3 songs (Metallica,Rush and Who

) and there are 7 files (in the directory of "/private/wii/data/sAZE"), 3 must be the songs and the other 4 I don't know (1 file might be the main directory which tells the wii which one's you have, so you don't pirate), I have Drum Lessons tonight, but once I get back from those, I'll look into that

 

[Mrkinator]

Anyone know of a save game editor? If not I guess I'll have to dump my NAND to get at the song

 

[SkankyYankee]

The songs DL for me ok, and they backup to the sd card. but the space is still taken up in the system memory. Whats the point of backing it up on SD if a copy still takes up the flash memory?

it seems like it has a problem deleting it off the save in the wii, everytime i download another one it moves the ones i already bought as well, and if i hit delete in the store it just refreshes the list. Anyone else having this problem?

Once you back up to card, they get moved, so they are no longer there.

The blocks still get taken up in my wii as well, i know that its supposed to work that way. Im trying to get it to work with gamma.

I have your exact same problem. I wonder if we can copy it to the SD card..

 

[mexiken]

Im not getting that error. But then again, I'm not running Soft Chip.

When I download, it asks you to store stuff to SD, which I'm doing. Every time I downloaded a file, it moved it to SD after.

I would verify this since there was 203 blocks left in my NAND memory after the first download, and 203 left after the last one. So they all got moved.

And my SD card got full with all the songs, had to delete some to make room for my purchased songs

 

[chaos_kontrol]

Hm, I'm not using Softchip either. I'm using Gamma. I'll see what's wrong I guess...

 

[mexiken]

I'm using Wiikey 1, not Gamma.

But either way, it should load. Thats kinda odd.
