Can anyone post an updated link to the “updated instructions”? The link that’s on the first post here just goes back to the home page.

I was able to get my problems solved and get the songs to show up, I just added them in smaller batches. My guess was there was some errant punctuation in the Songs.dta file.

[Wootex]

I am having this problem as well, I just installed a bunch of songs on my PS3 and only about half are showing up. I am using a new computer with a fresh install of the tools, so I am worried I am creating a conflict with old song IDs. What is the specific ID that conflicts and causes songs not to show? Is it the song title as well as the song ID? Does it make any difference if the song ID is numerical or not?
Specifically, can anyone who is playing on PS3 test any of the following songs so I know whether or not it is an issue with me or the file?
The Smiths — Still Ill
The Smiths — William It was really nothing
Tom Waits — Jockey Full of Bourbon

No instruments in particular, but I’ve never charted a song before and haven’t found a simple step by step guide.

I’m pretty sure you can also use Roll Limitless adapter at a much more reasonable price.

I’m surprised there isn’t more Portugal. The Man.

 

I would love the songs “People Say” and “So American”

[Wootex]

Thanks! This is an awesome thread and these songs are great fun to play.

 

I would love it if someone could add keys to “you never give me your money” and then merge all the Abbey Road medley songs (with keys) together so you could play the medley with keys as one song.

Thanks for your help Alternity,

I was able to get things working, it turns out you don’t need the k-license or rap or anything like that. It works if you just put the converted midi upgrades into HMX0756 folder. My problem was I was putting the songs_upgrade folder in with the songs and not right into the HMX0756. Also there was an errant parentheses messing me up.

 

I feel that I have emerged a smarter, more fully formed person.

Thanks for your help, unfortunately I’m still getting the black screen and need to restart when I try to load keys.

 

I put the Rock Band 2 export rap file in the C3 rap folder and changed the file name to Pal.rap.

 

I changed the K-lic# and the content ID (which is the same name as the rap file correct?) under the PAL section of klic.txt to the rock band 2 export info.

 

In C3 tools, I selected PAL region and ran the ps3 converter for the _plus.midi keys file from optional upgrades to make it into .edat file with (I think) the correct encryption.

 

I put the .edat file in the songs_upgrades folder in the Rock band 2 export folder along with the upgrades.dta file with copied text from the Github

 

I copied the text from the songs.dta on the Github over the default song text in the songs.dta in the rock band 2 folder.

 

Are there any other steps I’m missing? Do I need to have harmonies installed before I can include keys? Is there a conversion setting I need to change? Am I not supposed to change the content id in klic.txt?

 

Thanks for helping me along with baby steps.

I think I have the information I need to encrypt the files, but like you said, the version of C3 tools won’t work. Is there an older version that will work or do you know of another program I can use?

[Wootex]

Thank you, that is helpful. Is there a place that lists the folder names for specific songs, or do I just need to blindly check 1 by 1?

Hi, this is a really cool project and I’m hopeful I can get it to work on my PS3, but I’m not having much luck so far.

 

I am trying to add keys to Bodhisattva by Steely Dan from Rock Band 2, the album art and difficulty in game shows it as having keys, but when I try to play it, it shows the animation of the band setting up but then the console goes black and freezes.

 

Here’s what I have done so far, please let me know what steps I am missing.

 

1 Created a folder called songs_upgrades and put it in HMX0756

 

2. Created a dta file called upgrades.dta using notepad in the songs_upgrades folder and copied in this text:

(bodhisattva (upgrade_version 1) (midi_file “songs_upgrades/bodhisattva_plus.mid”) (song_id 261) )

 

3. Ran the file “bodhisattva_plus.mid” through the PS3 converter on C3 tools and got “bodhisattva_plus.mid.edat” I put the new file in the songs_upgrades folder

 

4. Went into the folder HMX05F6 (where the rock band 2 songs are located) and opened the songs.dta file there. I pasted the following text over the Bodhisattva info and re saved the file.

 

; RB2 – 0000261 – Steely Dan – Bodhisattva

Like I said, the album art and difficulty in game shows it as having keys, but when I try to play it, it shows the animation of the band setting up but then the console goes black and freezes. I tried to change the upgrades.dta file to say (midi_file “songs_upgrades/bodhisattva_plus.mid.edat”) but that did not fix the problem.

Thanks for the help!
