guitar hero, guida per suonare con le proprie canzoni

[air09]

ho letto un forum e c'è un procedimento di 12 passi per poter creare e masterizzare n gioco con le proprie canzoni preferite, qualcuno ci capisce?? può tradurlo? ci mettiamo d'accordo sulle song e lo facciamo?

Welcome to all our visitors arriving from the blogosphere. It's mentioned below, but it really should be step 0, so let me save a bunch of you some time and frustration: This process requires a modded PS2 capable of playing burned DVDs. This is NOT something we will assist you with here. If that's you, then feel free to continue reading. If not, thanks for stopping by, and if you enjoy Guitar Hero, do take a look around the rest of our site. --The Management]

Before I start this guide, I would ask you all to PLEASE read Riz's announcement. http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5716

If you do have any suggestions or additions to this guide, feel free to post in the topic.

ANYTHING BOLDED MEANS THAT IT HAS BEEN UPDATED! PLEASE READ!

I made this guide to help those who have trouble reading the tutorial made by Sottle - http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3592. Without further a do, I present you, the "Idiot Proof Guide to playing custom made songs in Guitar Hero II (w/pics)".

You will need these following tools in order to play custom-made songs:

Guitar Hero Explorer: http://scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2549
GHero Utils: http://scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2132
Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
MFAudio: http://www.zophar.net/utilities/ps2util.html
Anvil Studio: http://www.anvilstudio.com/
CD-DVD Generator: http://utilities.psxforum.com/cddvdgen.zip
Apache: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=9
DVD Decrypter/Nero/Alcohol/Any other ISO burning software. - Preferably, I would choose Alcohol 120%.
..and finally a good quality media to burn to. This is REALLY REALLY REALLY important. If your eventual burn does not work, this is the number one reason why. I recommend Taiyo Yuden, Sony and Verbatim or Check: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm for a full list.
You need some way to boot non-official PS2 media., please don't ask how to get this. YOU WILL BE BANNED!
A DVD Burner

Now, the guide.

My example throughout the tutorial will be System of a Down - Hypnotize. The .mid can be found in Sephiroth87 topic. Thanks.

Step 1: This step isn't necessary, but it does help with organization. Make a new folder on your desktop entitled, "Guitar Hero Custom", or whatever you want. Any programs or .mid (s) you download should go into the folder instead of a random folder that is hard to find.



Step 2: Download the .mid file of the song you want to play. If you need help, go to this topic to choose your song. Follow the instruction, if given, and download the .mid file.

Step 3: Now depending on the song you want to play, check to see if the maker of the .mid specified if it's a Guitar Hero or Guitar Hero II song. Yes, it makes a difference. You will see why in the next step. If you know that the song is specified for Guitar Hero II, you can skip down to Step 5.

Step 4: Open up Anvil Studio, and load the .mid. In the box underneath the top module, you should see a few selections. If it's a Guitar Hero II .mid, you will see that the first selection is entitled, "PART GUITAR". If the .mid you loaded does not say PART GUITAR, that means it is a Guitar Hero song. No worries, you can change that in order for it to play on your PS2. Now if it says T1 GEMS, left click it and change it to say PART GUITAR.



Now, you need to edit one more thing. You need to now select View on the menu, and select "Events List". Now where it says Active Track, click it and change it to EVENTS. Now, scroll down and where it says "Comments: end", you need to change that to "Comments: [end]". To do that, double-click the "comments:end" and change "end" into "[end]".



Step 5: Now, you're going to have to get an .mp3 of the song you want to play. If the maker of the song, the .mid maker, provides you a .vgs file, use that. But, if they don't, you're going to have to find a way to get that song. Maybe rip the song from the album, or buy it off iTunes.

Step 6: Next, insert the Guitar Hero II disc into your DVD drive, and copy all the contents from the disc into the Guitar Hero Custom folder I told you to make. If you want, you can make a seperate folder just for the Guitar Hero II contents. Quote:After copying the files off the DVD, make sure that the .HDR/.ARK files are not read-only. - katamakel.

If successful, it should look like this.



Step 7: Open Guitar Hero Explorer, and go to File. Click add archive and locate the MAIN.HDR file. The file should be located in the GEN folder that you uploaded copied from you Guitar Hero II disc.



Step 8: In Guitar Hero Explorer (GHex), expand the main "Songs", and then expand the song you want to replace. As of now, the song you want to replace doesn't matter. Now, right click the .mid file of the song you want to replace, and click "Replace". Now, choose the .mid you downloaded from Score Hero, and replace it with the .mid of the original Guitar Hero II song. Don't worry, if it says replacing data : 1 of 1396, that's fine.



Step 9: Quote:Right click the .vgs file of the same song, and click "Import" if you don't have the .vgs file or "Replace" if you do have the .vgs. If you click import, follow the following steps. If you replaced the .vgs you can go to Step 10. - katamakel You will now see a box. Right-click the white area on the top and click Add. Now choose the .mp3 of the song that you want to play in you custom Guitar Hero II. Or if the author of the .mid provided a .vgs file, replace it with that.



Step 10: In the bottom of that same option, you will see a couple choices. What I would do is alternate each, like 0/2/4 would be left, and 1/3 would be right. However, you can experiment with this yourself.

Step 11: Now once everything uploaded, click the main folder of the song you replaced. Now preview it to see if EVERYTHING is synced. Even the slightest mistake can change the whole song. IF the song is not sync, you can make change the starting time of the .mp3 or .vgs you uploaded. To do that, go back to Step 9, upload the same song. And once it finished uploading, right click the song and click properties. You will now see an offset option. Make the number positive if the song starts too early, make the number negative if the song starts too late. Remember, it's in milliseconds so 1000 milliseconds = 1 second.



You can repeat Step 8 - 11 if you want to add more songs.

Step 12: Now that you're finished with all the customs stuff, it's time to rebuild the game. Before starting CDVDGEN, make sure to close ghex, as I've seen people having problems with the image not being completed. Open CD/DVD Generator, select Start New Project, and then choose New DVD Master Disc. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Make sure that's it DVD or else it will not work. Now, drag and drop the folders and files from the Guitar Hero II disc into the main window. MAKE SURE IT'S IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER!

GEN
IOP
VIDEOS
SLUS_214.47 (If you are not using the US version of the game this file will be different)
System



Now click the "Volume" tab, and enter SLUS 21447 into the "DISC NAME" field. (If your disc is not from US, it will be different. So make sure you make the changes.) Put PLAYSTATION in the "Producer Name" field, and change the liscense area to the appropriate region. Forget the rest. It's not important. Now, click File, and click Export iml file. Rename it to whatever you want, and save.



Step 13: This is probably the most crucial stage in this process. Open Apache, in my case it's Apache2. Now click File, and click Import iml file. Choose the file you saved from CD/DVD Generator, and you should see the files on the right hand side.



Now, once everything is fine on the right hand side, click File, and click Build ISO.



Step 14: FINALLY! The end is near. This is the final step of the process. Open your DVD burning program. For me it's Alcohol 120%, but if your program is different, follow the steps to Burn Image on DVD. Now, choose the ISO that you made from Apache and burn it on your GOOD MEDIA at 4x. Please use 4x. It is the best way to burn it.

That's it folks. After the burning process finishes, it's time to try the DVD. Pop it in into your PS2, and try if it works. Now, if it displays the error screen, keep restarting your PS2. But if it still fails, it may have been an error in your CD/DVD Generator, or the burning process. If there is an error with skipping or pausing with the songs, it may have been your DVD you are using.

Quote:If the game fails to load at all, that's still probably a media problem. Only if you get a "not a valid ps2 disc" from Swap Magic or whatever the equivalent from HDLoader is do you want to point fingers at CD/DVD Gen. - Sottle

But, if you reached success with this guide, congrats. If you still have problems, don't hesitate to read Riz's announcement, this guide, and the other guide made by Sottle.

I would like to thanke Sottle for creating the first guide, Riz for the announcements, and everyone else for contributing to this lengthy, but payable process.

ENJOY!

A me non sembra per niente facile .. altro che guida a prova di idioti

[Kall]

dai dai traduciamo

[fc_themaster]

secondo me è impossibile perchè il gioco è fatto proprio su quelle canzoni... poi boh... io intanto ci provo subito... non si sa mai... magari funziona.


PS: è per Guitar Hero 1 o 2?

[[stealth]]

Mah vediamo. Se si può fa è na grande cosa!

[Hide]

[Dragon Chan]

No no calma .. di farsi si puo' fare, altro che.. Nel forum ci sono i video dei ragazzi che hanno cambiato le tracce, e devo dire che e' una figata!! Ci vorrebbe qualcuno che condividesse l'iso con le canzoni custom

[fc_themaster]

Dopo aver letto le guide la cosa più difficile rimane creare le canzoni. Per chi non vorrebbe cimentarsi, su Score Hero ci sono già files .mid da sostituire. Parlando con uno dello staff di Score Hero ho capito che creare le canzoni richiede moltissimo impegno: è davvero un passo complicato.

I .mid già disponibili li puoi trovare qua (occorre registrarsi però) :
