 Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 11:40 pm Post subject: Question about GH1 Custom |
 |
|
Hey all, quick question.
I want to make a GH1 custom. I specifically want to rip all the songs/charts off my gh2 disc and a recreate it on the gh1 engine. Can I just rip the files from my gh2 disc onto my computer, wipe an old gh1 disc and burn the gh2 files to the wiped gh1 disc? Or do I have to use a blank cd/dvd? I tried looking through the stickied guide but the link was broken

The PS2 does not support DVD-RW. If it works, it will strain the laser and read slowly.
You cannot wipe old DVD-R or pressed DVDs. You must use a blank disc if you wish to boot optical drives.
I think there may be existing ISOs out there with most of the songs. I will not help you find one, however.

There is also PCSX2, but you need to have a PC with really friggen good specs if you want to evade skipping and/or slowing completely. And unless you have a gaming PC chances are your PC doesn't have the right specs. If you have a desktop PC you can upgrade your CPU, GPU, graphics card, etc, but if you have a laptop... you'll just have to buy a new gaming PC.

Wasn't asking for help finding an iso, I know that's frowned upon. I was just hoping there was an easy way to transfer the charts and song files from gh2 to gh1, but I'm starting to see that it won't be that easy.

Yes it is! FMcB XD |
I looked into that briefly, but I didn't know where to start. I've never really done anything like this. Could you point me towards some sort of guide on how to use the software?

You can buy a memory card with it already installed on from ebay. Plonk it in either slot of you PS2 and it'll boot with a ton of extra software (as long as there's no disc in the drive). Using a software on the menu called OPL, you can boot games from a USB drive, internal HDD (if you have a phat PS2 with a HDD installed) or from the network (if you have a phat with network adapter or slim).
Making the games bootable can be done with PS2util, which turns the ISO into a PS2 format file that can be booted from the network or USB drive. If you have an internal HDD, you can rip the games to it using HD loader, providing they're original discs, as it doesn't support ripping backups.
If you wish to load games from the network, you have to set up a folder on your computer that is publicly readable across your LAN. That will be different depending on your OS, but it should be fairly easy to find the information you need on how to do that through the power of google

That part is relatively easy. Use ARK Expander or GH Explorer to extract the .MID and .VGS files from the songs folder within the ARK, and you should be able to import them into a GH1 ARK (although I do know that GH2 MIDs have a track titled "PART GUITAR" for lead while GH1 uses "T1 GEMS", and you may run into issues with that on newest GHEx, as well as the extra audio channels GH2 VGS files have for rhythm/bass).
