well... I was able to get custom 'audio' in Guitar Hero 5, which basically means customs for ALL the other games too (GH:WT/Band Hero/etc...), since they all use the same files.
But, the problem is, those stupid 'song.pak.xen' files won't open in 'Queen Bee' or anyother program I could find, so you can't import the chart! :\ [ video ]
So until someone figures out how to edit those new files, this is pretty much useless... lol And it's still a little buggy. Loading the song in 'Practice' mode freezes the game.
And after playing the song for like 2 minutes, it starts echoing real bad, like theres 2 tracks and there not in sync, even though theres only 1 track, the rest I made blank. hmm...
I really only did this just to see if it was possible, and surprisingly, it is. lol

Update: I was able to fix the freezing when loading the song in 'Practice' mode, simply by padding the end of the custom FSB file (added a bunch of zeros in hex) to match the original FSBs size. But that stupid echo is still there. Even after turning all the volumes down in the audio mixer. It's lower, but can still hear it.

Update: [ video ] Ok, I'm officially stupid. I was making separate audio files for the tracks, not realizing it actually was just 1 file with multiple tracks. That was screwing up the file, producing the echo. And I was able to decompress and extract the 'song.pak.xen' files using this program I found 'unpak', but then what? None of those files will open in any program I could find. :\

Wow, nice job on GH5, guess all we need now is to bug the QueenBee programmers to get working on the GH5 pak files !! lol ;) Now even the ps2 has customs on it yet !!!!

Anyway, thats weird about the echo, i wonder whats causing that...

Also, question, my custom stops playing music after a while. Like, cuts off completely.
I'll try find the time it cuts off and post it up. You might know the issue, i dunno.

I was able to get custom audio on the Wii GH5 a few weeks ago, but I had the same problem- I couldn't edit the charts. I know this is an Xbox thread and this post is unnecessary, but I just like to brag. ;)

I was helping nanook to make support for the newer games by testing his software back in september.
We got all the newer games loaded up in QB, but there were some issues with gh 5 and metallica when recompressing them(filesize too big etc(doesn't matter with j-tag though)).
The song.pak.xen will not open however(just tested it), but I think that with some work it will be good to go.

Anyways, haven't heard from him for a long time. I guess he's busy with life. I will not release his work(he can do so himself if he chooses to).

Just to let you guys know, im writing an entire nubz tutorial on how to do the customs. I have sent a near perfect V1 to mahoppiangoon to see if it is ok with him. (And i also have to entire re-write a certain section that i way screwed up, when i went back and read it).
