Hi, I’m back with a new little problem:

 

As far as I know you said that all custom generations stop at 500, but in sZGP, I already have a problem at 137: the packer just stops making .bin files there, it does create .app files though. What could be the problem? Thanks for your help!

 

EDIT: Well, I just found my mistake myself. This problem disappeared sooner than I thought! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

I’ve tested it with only one song now, and it seems to work fine. Maybe it was me giving the wrong number to a folder. I’ll give feedback when I try it with all songs, but thank you very much for now!

I’ve now tested it with all songs, and it seems like it was indeed just one single song where something was wrong. Everything else works fine now, so thanks again for your help!

Alright, everything works. The cheats are running fine (no crashes in the Main Menu anymore) and I’ve now been able to install the WAD and run the game with mic and keyboard with IOS 249. There’s just one problem left:

The game still crashes on the Song Select screen if I have the SD card inserted.

I highly suspect this has to do with sZGP itself, because I removed the folder from my SD card and everything worked just fine. It has to be a problem concerning my folder, I guess? Is there something I have to do differently here than normal? Which number should I give the first folder as there is no sample song folder included with this download?

[GERmkay1]

I created a .txt file for the cheats myself. Is that wrong? I named it “SZBP69” with this in it:

I suspect that one problem could be that while cheat 2 and 3 have their names displayed in the loader, the first one doesn’t (just the first numbers/letters of the cheat).

*Enables the following songs if you have them:”Black Hole Sun”, “Dani California”, “Hier Kommt Alex”, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star”

 

The problem is: I need the first cheat to work. If I start without cheats, the game crashes when I enter the song select screen because I have so many songs (the new generation worked), with cheats it already crashes in the main menu.

 

Cheats off, no SD card: Game works

Cheats on, no SD card: Game crashes (Main Menu)

Cheats off, with SD card: Game crashes (Song Select screen)

Cheats on, with SD card: Game crashes (Main Menu)

(Cheats on/off goes for ALL cheats, no matter which ones I activate e.g. just 2&3 or just 1)

 

 

Oh, and if the whole thing has anything to do with the WAD I installed for the sZGP generation, you maybe should know that I installed it with IOS 236 because 249 kept disconnecting my Wiimote. I start Rock Band with IOS 248.

I’ve got a problem with installing sZGP (I have a PAL Wii) now:
I’m using Yet Another Wad Manager to install the necessary .wad, but everytime i click on that folder in the Manager my Wii just crashes, it say “Exception (DSI) occured!” (and then tons of numbers and letters).

What should I do? Or am I even installing the right thing? I’ve just taken the .wad that was there along with the ZGP-Packer, do I need something else? Or should I try a different .wad installer?

 

Plus, I’ve got simething that’s worse:

I’ve got the cheats on (Fast Startup, Song Limit, Unblock Songs), Fast Startup works, but as soon as I get on the title screen, the game crashes, even if I don’t insert an SD card.

Wii has a limit of 1000 songs, without the cheat to expand it to 3000. You might be hitting your limit.

When you delete songs from the SD card, you’d have to reset your cache to get them removed from your in-game track list. That’s quite tedious, so erasing is something that should be done infrequently to save you time.

I’ve had a few cases where a song adds to the counter but is invisible. But normally this would have to do with reaching or exceeding the song limit. Try erasing the cache or loading the song in a separate file.

 

All content generations I’ve prepared stop at 500. When you reach that, you can choose to use sZGE or sZHE, which are mentioned in the guide, and should get you another 500 slots to go. But also, you should be packing more than one custom into the same file if you can. It saves you room and from having to manage several content generations.

Well, how exactly do I add cheats? I didn’t really find a proper explanation and I don’t want anything to go wrong.

[GERmkay1]

Thanks for your guide! It was difficult, but I eventually made it through all problems.

I’ve got three questions:

1. Is it normal that my Wii is more likely to crash if I got more songs on it (900+ in my case)? iIt happened to me pretty often in the last few days.

2. When I delete songs from the SD card, how do I manage to get them off my in-game track list?

3. I’ve downloaded Careless Whisper by George Michael but it doesn’t show up in game. But: You can see it is in the game because the game displays “100 of 101 Songs shown” (as an example). So no matter which filter I put on, I can’t get the game to show the song.

 

EDIT: Alright, I’ve got another question, and it’s really important:

Can the Pack Tool only pack songs that have been given a number up to 500 (as in 500_xxxxxxxx)? I’ve now got songs up to 557, and it just stops at number 500. How can I get the Pack Tool to pack my other songs?

I’m charting all of ZZ Top’s Eliminator album.

That’s awesome! Looking forward to it!
