I still think RO should put some sort of program that allows you to input songs of cds or HD. In a nice clean way, besides putting the song into another song. But let you name the song and play it under a category of Custom Songs or something. _________________

Not gonna happen, not this console generation anyway. The ps2 doesn't have enough memory to run the game without the disc (which is what it would need to do if you were to load your own music cd.)
I'm not saying that this wouldn't be a cool feature, especially on the 360, but it just isn't going to happen. |

Do you get a black screen when the demo loads? Or, does the black screen happen when you specifically try to enter the guitar hero 2 section of the demo?
If the former, it may be a burning problem, because even if the main ARK file is mangled, the demo framework itself will still load. If it blacks out when you try to select the guitar hero 2 section, then perhaps my program is faulty.
Let me know if it's the latter, and i'll see what I can do about fixing it. FOr now, though, it seems to be working perfectly (for me), so i'm tackling other projects. |

not a burning problem, maybe an image creation problem, my bad.
I open the isos with ultraISO and drop the modified files into it, and that seems to do the trick. |

tried adding trippolette to the 10 track demo in place of strutter with a DVD-R. It booted correctly, and the other songs work, and when i highlight strutter, the music for trippolette plays, but when i select it, it freezes on the load screen.
any help, or does this not work with gh1 midi files? _________________

You have to modify it to work for GH2. How? I don't know. _________________

For starters the note track in GH1 was called T1 GEMS, but in GH2 it's called PART GUITAR ..
Riff has written all that stuff down in his VGS/MID post. |

I'm working on GH1 songs right now. Basically, to get it working, I'm doing the following things:
rename the main track. Also, splice the track, sending all note events to PART GUITAR and all vocalist action events to the new vocalist event track.
splice ANIM track, sending action events to the relevent band member track.
add in a dummy PART BASS track.
recalculate all MTrk header sizes and rewrite them into the appropriate place.
change the chunk number in the MThd to 8, instead of 5.
When I'm done, i'll let you know how it worked, and if all is good, i'll have a conversion tool available in the next couple of days. |

Hehe, i'd love to get pro faceoff, turning GH2 into GH1 basically with the new PO/HO system.
Pro Face-off + BATM = WIN _________________

I am aware of this, i have read it a couple of times now. I simply wasn't aware that the names of the track was checked by the game. I'm not a programing wiz, like i said is riff's post on vgs/midi, i'm a truck driver and a recording engineer, i'm just trying to figure this stuff out. IF i can get this in my brain and understand it, i plan on puting bands that i record into the game, since i obviously have all the original audio files. _________________

You could just start with a GH2 midi file and modify it for your needs, much easier than doing it in the GH1 format and trying to convert it to GH2. |

I get a black screen when the demo itself tries to load. And I'm running it straight from the HD, no buring. I used MagicISO to make the ISO and WinHIIP to put it on the HD. Any special options I need for either? |
