Wii #1511 - The Beatles: Rock Band (Europe)

[berlinka]

Well, I've played a lot of guitar in the past. I recorded stuff, played in bands. I remember sitting on my bedroom playing along to my favorite Metallica songs.

Well nowadays I only play the occasional guitar when I'm recording in a friends studio where we just sit together drink a beer and think up music which we produce in Cubase.

When Guitar Hero Metallica came out I really had that feeling again that I had when playing the stuff for real. Only in a different way. It's very fun knowing how to play for real and then playing it Guitar Hero style. I really enjoy the GH and RB games a lot. I think the GH guitar all look horrible though, like an actual toy. They should have made it look more like a real guitar.

I must say NOTHING compares to playing Metallica stuff for real, but this really manages to capture a bit of the guitar playing magic.

I downloaded this Beatles title but am not too enthusiastic because Beatles music to me isn't "guitar music".

Works on USB Loader ?

Yes it works on a USB Loader and yes it works for NTSC assuming your TV outputs PAL. Didn't try to force NTSC.

I couldn't get it to work on my NTSC-U with USB Loader GX or CFG, I'm burning it to a disc now to try it that way.

EDIT: I was forcing NTSC since I only have an SDTV.

UPDATE: It works from a disc using NeoGamma and forcing NTSC

 

[berlinka]

The intro is simply BREATHTAKING!!.... I got goosebumps all over watching the big elephant scene.

 

[hitmanpham]

Might I inquire what your config was? I burnt the game to a disc and cannot get it to force ntsc using neogamma. I have a wiikey and cios rev 10.

 

[hitmanpham]

My theory is that there may be a necessary wad included in the disc update to allow 3 mics at once. I get a black screen when I try to launch it from neogamma.

Got a twightlight hacked Wii and trying to boot this via the DiscLoader channel.

Just keep getting a ERROR 002 message and a Blue Screen.

I've had this on the last 3-4 backups I've tried, can anyone let me know why please? Always worked previously using the same methods...

Thanks!

[scousethief]

Awesome thats all i can say

 

[onionpalac]

Works fine for me - great intro.
Only thing is throughout the game I can see what appears to be some kind of code text on various spots on the screen.
2 examples:
blue_icon
insert_date_month_time

Not a problem at all really just wondering if anyone else gets this . . .

 

[dearodie]

Works on NTSC Wii with 4.1U + WiikeyV1 1.9g
Update partition has IOS56, if not installed get black screen. Install IOS56 from GH5 US, but don't want to take chances with Euro version on this disc.
Tested the game, works fine.

Didn't try online.

EDIT: of course, this was brickblocked and regionfrii'ed beforehand.

Thanks. THAT'S the info I was looking for!

Force NTSC works. And I read elsewhere that it works via USB if set to 223 instead of 249. That leaves no reason that the two options shouldn't work together.

It works for me

PAL wii, 3.1, Wiikey

did you allow the update?

 

[mugel0190]

When I play drums on lefty flip and hit yellow and green at once, Beatles Rock Band recognizes yellow and red?! If I hit green, green is recognized and if I hit yellow, yellow is recognized... Only when they are hit at the same time, this error occurs... could anyone try, if this is a common bug or if it has to do with my setup?!

I'm on menu system 4.0E though - so cannot install cioscorp can I?

 

[sio]

I'm on PAL 4.1 (I think) with WiiKey V1, 1.9g

All you need to do to get past the 002 error is install IOS56-64-v5146.wad (From your region of The Beatles: Rock Band/GH5) using wad manager.

It solves the GH5 002 error too

 

[Rammoth]

It works for me

PAL wii, 3.1, Wiikey

did you allow the update?

I'm on 3.1, so no. I still use the ancient freeloader to block all updates, but anything capable of blocking the update should do. If you have a 4.1 console it should be safe to let the update run though. One small add, I did manually add the IOS56 from Guitar Hero 5 a few days ago. If Beatles doesn't work, it probably uses the same IOS, which you can add manually
