Where do I get the Common Key for my Wii? I have it softmodded and did the NAND backup

 

Edit: I think I found it, is it the same for everyone?

thanks for the reply. so about this unique ID thing… i don’t know how the development tools work (i’m on mac), is it something that can be added to the wii ready files from the database on my own or do i need access to the original files?

I’ve just tried setting this up for the first time, and I am getting this error:

 

“add-on content cannot be restored to the wii system memory”

[StackOverflow0x]

Did you get your ng_id filled? Does your SysCheck match the one I posted a few pages back?

Is there a hex editor you can download? You could also try to set up FTPii between your console and OS. Once accessed, you should see a ng_id.bin file that should be what you need.

But then there’s the issue of running any of the software after that. I don’t know if there’s a workaround to that at the moment.

i can get a hex editor.

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

You have to make sure you have the correct ng_id and common key in the packing folder that Stack has in the tutorial. Also make sure you have the right WADS installed. that was my big problem when I was getting the error. I didn’t have the WADS installed correctly but as soon as I did it worked.

How I find my Wii’s common key? I’ve been searching google and can’t find anything.

[StackOverflow0x]

You had it right.

Unrelated, for those who have had to downmix multitracks that are not custom songs, there is now another option. Using the RAD Video Tools, you can produce your own multitrack BINK files to use instead of moggs. As far as I’m aware, you don’t get the pause/desync glitch this way because there is no mogg header to worry about. Observe this working code.

bink Audio.wav Audiodummy.bik /d950000 /m3.0 /O /l4 /p8 /r32000 /b16 /c1

binkmix Audiodummy.bik Audio.wav Audionewmix.bik /T0 /O /L4 /R32000

binkmix Audionewmix.bik Audio1.wav Audionewmix.bik /T1 /O /L4 /R32000

binkmix Audionewmix.bik Audio2.wav Audionewmix.bik /T2 /O /L4 /R32000

binkmix Audionewmix.bik Audio3.wav Audionewmix.bik /T3 /O /L4 /R32000

binkmix Audionewmix.bik Audio4.wav Audionewmix.bik /T4 /O /L4 /R32000

binkmix Audionewmix.bik Audio5.wav Audionewmix.bik /T5 /O /L4 /R32000

binkmix Audionewmix.bik Audio6.wav Audionewmix.bik /T6 /O /L4 /R32000

binkmix Audionewmix.bik Audio7.wav Audionewmix.bik /T7 /O /L4 /R32000

binkmix Audionewmix.bik Audio8.wav Audionewmix.bik /T8 /O /L4 /R32000 

This expects you to rip the audio tracks from a mogg and name them in order as 0.wav, 1.wav, etc. You’d use the DTA to let the numbers stand in for the instrument parts. This code expects the files to be in a folder named Audio. It outputs a newmix.bik file which you can rename and use in place of a mogg file. L is compression quality and 4 is acceptable. I think even 10 sounded really bad. R is the audio rate, which downsamples it to a passable 32000 Hz. You need to paste this code in the Batch window that pops up when you click that button in the RAD Video Tools application. Also, I believe this only works on Wii and not Xbox or PS3.

 

Can you elaborate more on using RAD Video? When I try using it I get the following errors:

 

 

From what I understand the first line didn’t execute so It never created a ‘dummy.bik’ file. Was your tests done on an earlier version because it feels like the ‘bink’ command isn’t recognized or do I have the folders in the wrong location.

[bbsrtrain]

I don’t know why but I keep having problems resetting the cache. When I go through it, it only resets the past few songs that I added. Isn’t it supposed to reset all the scores of the customs I have? I was trying to get the updated version of Hold The Line with the solo and I can’t really get them to reset.

[StackOverflow0x]

Are you sure you’re overwriting with a blank cache? It’s easy to lose track of what’s on the SD card if you’re using FSToolbox. If you’re erasing it outright with WiiXplorer, this absolutely should not be happening.

Did I ever post this? This is the latest version of RockBiink.

It’s still doesn’t have all the features but it can really assist in building the Batch List files needed to run with Bink. Seeing as how newer builds of Bink started using binkc.exe, I’ve modified the tool to let you switch what executable to have it look for. You’ll get better results if you run the list from the folder where all the executables for Bink are. Then at least things shouldn’t be missing.

[bbsrtrain]

Ok. All I’ve been using has been FSTOOLBOX. I’ll have to try it through WiiXplorer. Is it sorry of the same method or how does it have to be done? Any certain way?

[StackOverflow0x]

Try this.

Alright, I got RockBiink to successfully convert my .wav’s into .bik and moved them in the place of the .mogg in the _song folder. However, when the song loads in the game, the music is playing at a much slower speed then the notes. I know something is setup completely wrong.

 

Here’s my RockBiink setup:

 

Here’s the track info from songs.dta:

(tracks

((drum (0 1 2 3))

(bass 4)

(guitar (5 6))

(vocals	(7 )

)

)

The the split multitrack .wav’s are saved as stereo 16-bit PCM at 36000Hz through Audacity (with the exception of the bass track). Also, what exactly goes in mono track blank in RockBiink. I’m pretty sure it shouldn’t it be a mute track.
