Hey Stack, I’m back

 

The packing is still hit or miss. Sometimes it makes bins, sometimes it doesn’t.

 

Anyway, I now get the restored error when trying to play the song instead of at the main menu. I went to clear the cache, but I literally cannot find the file anymore. WiiXplorer won’t let me access the NAND on this SD card and the disc won’t even be mounted.

Which content gen are you using? Make sure your numberings are actually valid.

I’m using sZGE

[wellmax]

I have finally been able to play customs successfully, simply by swapping SD cards. However, when I run packdlc.bat, it only creates app files for some songs. Others still have bins though

[wellmax]

Are you sure you have the right common-key and ng-id values? That’s usually the next likely thing it could be.

They are 8 and 16 bytes respectively

[wellmax]

Anyone know what “awesomeness detection” do ?

Nothing at all. Harmonix just put it in for a little gag

[wellmax]

Please use sZGE, which is linked in the first post. This gives you much more control than hijacking existing content generations used by official DLC. Install its WAD, build DLC using its build files, then try again.

I only found the sZGP wad in that download…isn’t that for PAL consoles?

 

Edit: nvm I thought it was one link I’ll update after I actually download the right rar

 

Edit 2: sZGE still gave me the restored error…

 

Edit 3: does title.wad need to also be installed?

[wellmax]

I doubt its your Official DLC, what do you mean “ i noticed that there is NOT a sZFE wad file” what are you installing then?

It used to exist, but now it doesn’t for some reason. I moved my files to sZDE (and changed them of course) but I’m still getting the error. I tried installing and uninstalling the sZDE wad with no luck. I really don’t have any clue to what is going wrong

[wellmax]

You need to find a line that looks like this:

 

“dlc/sZAE/097/content/songs/Shudder_before_the_beautif/Shudder_before_the_beautif”

 

and change the “/sZAE/097/” by the correct generation and the correct meta slot number for each song in the same slot (or same DTA file).

Alright mine reads

 

“dlc/sZFE/052/content/songs/one/one”

 

I deleted the sample track from the packing folder, hence the 52. I put the bin files in the sZFE folder and I am still getting the cannot be restored error…I tried resetting the cache too and that didn’t work

 

EDIT: i noticed that there is NOT a sZFE wad file. Could this be the problem? I also have a second SD card that I’m thinking to try it on because my official DLC may be causing the problem.

[wellmax]

Taken from OP “If you’re getting a “Content cannot be restored” error, this usually occurs because either the _song folder may be missing, or the _meta folder is not structured properly.”

 

​So basically what I think is happening here is the structure is not what it’s supposed to be. Make sure that in your DTA file the path is the correct one (For both generation and the slot you’re using), and that of course the file names are the correct ones.

What do you mean by slot and generation? I have switched it to sZFE but made no further modifications to the DTA file

[wellmax]

you’re suppose to get an error

I mean the cannot restore error. Sorry for not making that clear

[wellmax]

I tried uninstalling and installing sZFE but I still get the error…is there a special way I should title the customs? I have about 80 or so official DLC so should I name my customs accordingly?

[wellmax]

You mean IOS 249, what’s your cIOS?

I used d2x v6 to download cIOS 249 based off of IOS 56 or 58 I don’t remember

[wellmax]

 

 

Ugh. Just now noticed that someone replied without quoting me. ;-; Anyway, so I found a blank MSTORE.vff so I could use FSToolbox to replace mine with the blank one, since WiiXplorer STILL can’t see inside that stupid data folder. Turns out Uprising (the one song I’m currently using as my guinea pig to see if a custom song will load) still won’t load properly, even after a cache reset. I looked in the settings for USB Loader GX, and it turns out that the default CIOS it’ll use is 249 after all, so that’s not the problem, apparently. I can’t think of anything else that we’ve missed, help?

I load the disc through USB Loader GX and I am currently running cIOS249. It gives me the “cannot be restored error”

[wellmax]

Yup I never noticed those in WinRAR. I got two songs in the game but it said “Add-On content could not be restored to Wii System Memory”. I think this is due to the fact that I switched to IOS 249 but I’m not 100% on that

[wellmax]

Heres a 16-byte common key, https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3CHceCo6lvhMEhUZ2xISk9iRVU

Even with the correct common key, I’m still getting the errors. Do I need to have “u8it” and “wadpacker”??
