Hi All, I’ve finally discovered what C3 was all about and first and foremost: I am currently a big supporter of Rock Band 1, 2, 3, LegoRB, Beatles, Greenday, and all DLC (over 900+)… basically a huge fan. When DLC stopped, it was indeed a sad day and I’m giving HMX until end of 2014 that they make RB4 for new gens, I seriously doubt this will happen.
My questions will appear basic to advance and please bear with me as I need to be sure about the move to C3 on PS3: I got the PS3 hacking figured out and ready to go (got a net new old phat system just for Rock Band stuff) but have some important questions before I dive in getting some songs.
Here we go:
1. Is there a way to get all same songs I previously purchased into new ps3 modified system, I’m assuming I can simply re-download all original dlc HMX had on this site and much more?
A:
2. Can I restore my save game files on new system?
A:
3. Is there a way to get all the songs via ftp for ps3 only? Is there special steps that is needed to dump them on ps3? It will take me a very long time to click each link individually to get same library I had and more… My plan was to install rb3 game on hdd and simply ftp the song/db on local ps3 drive.
A:
4. What is the basic step/procedure to get songs on a weekly basis going forward once setup, there is no conversation or pre-req steps needed, simply download and place them in specific folder location and play?
A:
5. I’m assuming all existing rock band / madcatz gear will work like normal? I currently have real drums (roland hd-1) connected via usb/madcatz midi adapter plus official rock band 3 guitar and wireless bass, 2x mis and rb3 keys…
A:
6. I just want to know if entire process is worthy as I host parties once a month and want to keep with songs you guys have are simply amazing (no license restriction crap).
A:
7. Is there a formal request process, I would be grateful to see “Prince” best of… pack. “PurpleRain” a must…

8. Still no way to have other buddies on modified ps3 to play over internet right?
A:
That is all I can think of of now… I am eager to your feedback and keep up the faith!
1. Is there a way to get all same songs I previously purchased into new ps3 modified system, I’m assuming I can simply re-download all original dlc HMX had on this site and much more?
Absolutely not, you won’t find any official DLC here. You need to redownload what you bought from the original store. If you can’t because your system is modded (I don’t know how PS3 works in that sense) you need to find that information elsewhere.
3. Is there a way to get all the songs via ftp for ps3 only?
Sure, but first you need to download the songs, which is a one by one process.
4. What is the basic step/procedure to get songs on a weekly basis going forward once setup, there is no conversation or pre-req steps needed, simply download and place them in specific folder location and play?
There’s a thread for that
5. I’m assuming all existing rock band / madcatz gear will work like normal? I currently have real drums (roland hd-1) connected via usb/madcatz midi adapter plus official rock band 3 guitar and wireless bass, 2x mis and rb3 keys…
Yes, hardware works as usual.
6. I just want to know if entire process is worthy
That’s a call you need to make.
Much appreciated to answer all my questions: As to #1, too bad can’t get previous library in the mix. But glad I know this, it’s big decision factor… but again I will have 2 ps3 system (one legit and other modified just for customs) might be still worthy effort.
Cheers!

1. Is there a way to get all same songs I previously purchased into new ps3 modified system, I’m assuming I can simply re-download all original dlc HMX had on this site and much more?
A: Already answered, you can’t from here, but you can redownload your own dlc on CFW using a psn spoof, that’s what I did.
You are legally allowed to have 2 active ps3 with your download on it (it was 5 a few years ago, so some of your dlc should fall under that, but doesn’t matter). If you already have 2 ps3 activated for your dlc, you’ll have to deactivate 1 first. Then using psn spoof, just log into your account, and go to download list and redownload your dlc. As long as you dont do anything else with your CFW ps3 while you are logged onto psn, it should be safe. It was for me anyway.
2. Can I restore my save game files on new system?
A: Yes you can, you’ll need a save game resigner. That also worked for me
3. Is there a way to get all the songs via ftp for ps3 only? Is there special steps that is needed to dump them on ps3? It will take me a very long time to click each link individually to get same library I had and more… My plan was to install rb3 game on hdd and simply ftp the song/db on local ps3 drive.
A: You need to use C3ConTool, that process is explained at http://pksage.com/ccc/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1678, and yes FTP is the way to go, but there is a few somewhat simple step before that, which can do batch jobs.
4. What is the basic step/procedure to get songs on a weekly basis going forward once setup, there is no conversation or pre-req steps needed, simply download and place them in specific folder location and play?
A: Same url as above
5. I’m assuming all existing rock band / madcatz gear will work like normal? I currently have real drums (roland hd-1) connected via usb/madcatz midi adapter plus official rock band 3 guitar and wireless bass, 2x mis and rb3 keys…
A: Yes as already answered
6. I just want to know if entire process is worthy as I host parties once a month and want to keep with songs you guys have are simply amazing (no license restriction crap).
A: It is, once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy. Just remember, Rock Band 3 can’t load more then 2952 songs, so you’ll never have access to it all at once, you’ll have to exit the game,swap a file and reload game to switch between song “bank”, if you plan on having a huge database of songs.
7. Is there a formal request process, I would be grateful to see “Prince” best of… pack. “PurpleRain” a must…
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />A: There is a song request forum, but it’s mostly for show, people tend to chart songs they like if I’m correct.
8. Still no way to have other buddies on modified ps3 to play over internet right?
A: You could play online on CFW with psn spoof, but that ramp’s up your chance of getting your console/psn account banned. I highly suggest against it. If you both have the same song, with the same song ID, you might even be able to play custom online, but that is just what my mind tells me, I don’t really know.
Also, once you got your stuff going, I’d take a look at the Rock Band Harmonies Project
And a rough “how to get the stuff to work on PS3”
Pretty much everything Blackened said – but you can simplify the download process by using the PS3 System Transfer utility to copy your DLC and saved games from your OFW PS3 to the CFW system. You will still have to use PSN Spoof for both the transfer and to activate the CFW system online (otherwise transferred DLC stays locked) but you won’t have to download the songs one at a time…
