 Posted: Wed May 13, 2009 4:57 pm Post subject: Extract mid (or chart) from a Custom Wii GH3 ? |
 |
|
I have been reading through these forums for days now...and Kudos to all of you working these projects!
So far, I have successfully used ‘TheGhost’ to import ‘Eruption’ and ‘Break on Through’ onto my GH3 Wii Disk...and it works Great!
The problem I am having is how to extract charts from the custom disk once they are in?
** So my question: From my researching, it seems the mid files for the charts are located in the song.pak.ngc file. How do I pull the mid out so I can convert it to a .chart?
Before the moderators comment……I am using a custom disk made by a friend with songs not in any of the GH games…so no copyright infringement here  Besides, the copy-written GH3 songs are already on the disk.....I don’t need those
It seemed like QB2Chart was a method to do this, but apparently that is only for the PS2?
Help! (Feel free to PM me) |

There's no tools to do this on Wii. I suggest you ask your friend to give you the charts/mids or try to find them yourself on SH's customs database.

*I take no credit for this credit goes to:
GameZelda for DATEdit and QBgen
Unsteadycarrot for Testing It
MrGiles for Testing It
and everybody else at scorehero.com
Files needed to do this
Trucha Signer http://www.google.com/search?q=Trucha+Signer
Audacity v1.3.4 http://www.audacity.com
fsbank.exe http://www.fmod.org/index.php/releas...dapi375win.zip
DATEdit http://www.savefile.com/files/1414890
QBgen http://www.savefile.com/files/1417335
an MP3 file
a Note Chart in ".chart" format
0. Set up trucha signer (you only need to ever do this once)
1. Dump Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 to your PC.
2. open the GHIII.iso with trucha signer
3. extract the .dat and .wad of the song you wish to replace (located in the music directory)
4. open audacity (must be v.1.3.4)
5. load mp3 of the song you wish to use
*Skip steps 6-9 it YOU HAVE A STEREO WII GAME!
6. split stereo tracks (drop down menu on audio track)
7. make both tracks mono (drop down menu on each audio track)
8. select the :track button from tom menu bar
9. select :mix and render
10. change project rate to 33075 (BOTTOM LEFT CORNER of Audacity!)
11. export as .wav file from :File menu
*save it as the song you are replacing "i.e. slowride_song.wav"
12. reopen it in audacity to see if changes took.
--Now you have the "song file GHIII can use.--
**. Next are the Guitar and Rhythm Tracks "i.e. slowride_guitar.wav* and the slowride_rhythm.wav*"
13. load up that track you just made and erase all but the 1st second or so.
14. export as i.e., slowride_guitar.wav, and slowride_rhythm.wav.
--Now you have the Guitar and Rhythm tracks--
* = KEEP these and just rename accordingly, unless of course you have the real guitar/rhythm mp3s for the song
**Optional**
Pick about 15 sec of that song and save that one as i.e. slowride_preview.wav
11. Now you have all 4 files needed
12. Lastly put each one of those 3-4 files in there own folder and name them respectfully.
eg folder name = song - contains slowride_song.wav
= rhythm - contains slowride_rhythm.wav
etc
Follow below guide on how to replace FSB files
---The files you just created are compiled into an FSB file for the game.---
1. Get fsbank.exe (official tool to make FSB files). It's in the "tools" folder of the extracted files.
2. - Make 3-4 FSB files (one per each folder) with the default options,
*but only change the "Format" to IMA ADPCM. @ bottom left corner of program.*
-make sure to keep the file names exactly the same.
3. You should have 3 files in each of your 3-4 folders by now.
1. a .wav file
2. a .H file
3. a .fsb file..... If there is no .fsb after the name add it now.
Now lets compile all those files into the .wad and .dat files.
Download the following program.
DATEdit - tool to extract/play/replace the FSB files in the DAT/WAD container.
*Program Buttons*
Open - Just open a file. Click it, select the DAT file, then the WAD file.
Extract - Extracts the selected files as FSB.
Play - Plays the selected files
Replace - EXPERIMENTAL feature to replace the FSB files.
Save - Save the changes made by the "Replace" option.
1. Click open
2. Select the extracted .dat file "MUST BE THE SAME SONG AS ALL THE FILES YOU JUST CREATED!"
3. Select the extracted .wad file
4. Replace the 3-4 files for song, guitar, rhythm, and preview. Select and hit replace.
*you can test the file by selecting it and pressing play.*
5. Remember to press "Save" after replacing the files.
6- Put the DAT and the WAD files inside the Wii ISO again.
You now have new audio!
2. This is for the note chart part.
3. Download the one that corresponds with your selected song.
4. Make a new folder and save it in there.
5. Download QBgen
6. Save it in the save folder as your chart.
7. Extract the i.e. slowride.pak.ngc file that corresponds with all your other changes.
*It is in the "songs folder" under the same partition.
8. Open QBgen.exe
9. Type the exact name of your downloaded chart. With the ".chart" at the end. Press Enter
10. Enter the number code for the song you want to replace. eg slowride = 60
11. Type the .pak you extracted. "i.e. slowride.pak.ngc" press enter
12. Type 1 press enter Type 2 press enter (if there is no 2, press 1 again)
13. Save and Close
Add that .pak file back in to your .iso
Sign the partition and Burn!
* - only needed if you wish to convert a video from gh 1,2 or 80's
in this example ill be converting the gh2 intro for gh3
1. first seperate the intro.pss using pssplex, this will seperate the file into a video file - m2v and an audio file - wav.
2. open up virtual dub
3. file-open video- select the m2v file
4. stream-stream list-press add- choose the wav file- press ok
5. video-frame rate - in the second section theres an option that says "convert to fps" tick it and type in 59.94 press ok
6. file-save as-intro.avi
7. open radtools
8. browse to and highlight the intro.avi
9. press the "bink it" button
10. set the height to 368 and the width 640 (middle section)
11. set the audio to 44000mhz and sample rate to 16bit mono (bottom section)
12. convert as intro.bik
12. replace the intro.bik in the gh3 wii iso with this new one using trucha
13. sign and burn |
