You can update the wiki yourself, I can't play it for another 2 days while I wait for my guitar to arrive.
I wouldn't know how to extract WADs. To be fair, the NAND I use for my wii is emulated, everything is in .app format. Rock Band DLCs, if it ever worked with WADs, I think one complete generation would be inside the WAD, which would be around 250 songs, for idk how much GB, not sure it's a good idea, plus the main purpose for this are custom songs, and unless there's ways to pack custom songs into installable WADs it's RIP for that XD
If I trust this tutorial (
http://customscreators.com/index.php?/topic/9251-how-to-playing-customs-on-wii/ ), loading DLCs/custom songs on dolphin should be even easier than on emunand.
Hmm. I'll be looking into it soon. Sounds like it'll be fun and challenging.
Thanks for looking into it. In the meantime I'm trying to find a solution with the dude that made it possible for himself and a few other folks at the C3 forums, if I come up with a solution I'll share it here.
Yeah, it's very possible there's a dumb bug in Dolphin causing DLC not to load. It could be a missing IOS feature too.
Another small hiccup I encountered, nothing game breaking, but a tad annoying.
I'm using RB2's drum kit for PS3 through emulated wiimote with the Drums accessory plugged.
If I map only the drum part of the emulated controller, I can't browse the menus inside RB3, not even press start etc. I see the drum icon/nickname/menu thingy on the bottom flash accordingly to me pressing buttons, but they won't register in-game.
Once that happened, I mapped the navigation buttons to the wiimote as well, which works, but only when it wants. My theory is that both buttons a pressing simultaneously, thus sometimes end up being the wiimote pressing instead of the drums, and only then I can browse the menus.
In-game though, it works fine.
I got the real Pro Guitar connected. Was pretty sick.
Yep, me too. I have the Mustang for PS3, I connect it through MIDI with the MPA.
Played online 2 hours through dolphin yesterday, ironically with another pro guitar player. Connection is pretty stable :o
I plugged it in via the Wireless Dongle to my computer. It worked like that as well.
Alright, I got the DLCs to work.
After alot of trial an errors and discussing it with various people that had it running, I've found the magic way that worked for me, even though some other ways that worked for other people didn't for me.
create a portable.txt file at the root of the dolphin folder, creates a User folder with various folders/files in there once you boot dolphin. Close dolphin, copy the files (
http://www.mediafire.com/download/64c6x375ygiylc6/RB3DLC_dolphin_NAND_minimal_files.rar ) to the NAND inside that new folder. Open dolphin, set the path to the NAND to that new folder, and magically it works. Of course it doesn't include every tickets and whatnot, but once you set the DLCs in the NAND (no WAD files involved, all manual ticket files and app files and stuff, follow the custom song guide for emunand, without worrying about the song cache; dolphin doesn't even save it) it works like a charm.
Dolphin even supports more than 3k songs. On real wii, such gecko code would freeze it if the number was any higher than 3k. If there's a number of songs that makes dolphin crash, I'll find it.
Is there a way to make it work with a real NAND though?
