| My stupid friends keep trying to tell me if you beat the game on all difficulty levels you unlock Freebird. Seeing as I'm the only one who can beat all the songs on expert, they want me to check. Is it worth my time? |

don't do it. One song isn't worth that. I went back to play easy mode after hard and expert (still ain't beat CFH on hard and stuck on SCM on Exp), and it makes you want to shoot yourself. with hotsauce. In the eye. Twice.

first of all, it doesnt even give you the song if you beat every difficulty
second, yes easy is too easy, hence why its called easy |

This is why when my DDR pals first introduced me to the game, they didn't let me play on easy. I'm glad they didn't. Just watching other friends play easy is gut wrenching enough to keep me from ever wanting to.

I've extracted all files from the game's archive and I can guarantee you that unless there is an audio track and midi file disguised as a different type of file then the data needed to play Freebird does not exist on the Guitar Hero disc.

Just about any song by Blind Guardian. They rock!

Not unless you want an additional list of songs that aren't in Guitar Hero. I have, however, thought about testing the feasibility of adding custom songs to the set list. If the main executable doesn't perform checksums or hashes then in its relatively easy to add an additional file entry to the archive or to modify the data of an existing file. It is pretty straightforward to create the VGS format audio track. Creating the MIDI note data is somewhat of a pain without a custom editor but not that big of a pain if the song being converted is already in MIDI format. There are WAV to MIDI converters which may be sufficient enough to convert a monophonic lead guitar track into MIDI data that doesn't require too much fixing up. Creating the MIDI track for the stage effects and the band animation is doable as well but creating the hand map data for the guitar fingering animation would probably be an exercise in pain.
To play new songs one would need a mod chip, Swap Magic or some other means of allowing DVD-R discs to be played. A copy of the Guitar Hero disc with a modified archive file would be required.

That would be amazing beyond belief, but probably too much work. We can just wait until GH2 or until someone makes a playable, working PC version. It won't kill us.
