RB1 has on-disc upgrades for Wii, so they'll play just like if they were actually released.

Following up on Kim's post above, I made a video showing the routine he describes to convert songs to Wii.

Hello folks- I feel like I've ALMOST got this working, and I can't figure out what I'm missing here. I've got the customs (C3 customs) converted from Xbox format, on my SD card. RB3 will read the songs, display them properly in preview, even play the music from the selection menu, but when I go in to actually play the songs I get a blue screen telling me that it couldn't read the song. I'm guessing since it can play the audio it has something to do with my not having converted the charting information correctly- is the "milo_wii" file the one that contains the actual (non-pro) charting information?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Ha ha! I got it! For reference I was really confused about the usage of the upgrades.dta. I thought for some reason that any customs with pro parts needed to have lines in upgrades.dta pointing to the files. I also for some reason thought that the song_id in the file should be identical to the song id of the original custom. Needless to say it didn't like this very much. Anyway, I took the upgrades .bin file off my SD card and it works like a dream. Boy, I know just enough to be dangerous.

Anyway, huge, huge thanks to everyone for getting this working, putting together all these awesome customs, and especially Koetsu and gugutab for being so great helping me out. I raise my glass in your honor. (Since it's 6:30 in the morning here it's a glass of orange juice, but it's the thought that counts, right?)

Alrighty, I have successfully packed and played some songs by the way that is mentioned in the tutorial. However, I have a couple questions and some problems.

1. I am receiving the same "can't restore" error that was mentioned before; I followed to make sure my ID was correct and it was. However, this error only occurs on particular songs. I am able to play some fine without the error. What can I do to fix this?

2. I am running into the problem when I edit pack-dlc to include songs with the folder name xyz_000000aa.... if x≥1 then I cannot get .bin files from it (meaning x=0 in order to get .bin files; yz value doesn't matter, which limits the number of .bin files I can make). The reason I need x≥1 is because I have purchased DLC and the vast majority of sZAE is full of my DLC. I don't want to overwrite any of the files because I would still like to have the option to play them. (Now, I could overwrite the file and then re-download the songs and hope they don't overwrite the custom song, but I don't want to even bother re-downloading the songs, it would take too long.) My question is: is there a way to have pack-dlc pack these files?

In an effort to resolve my own issue, I packed some files that I was able to and moved them into a folder called sZME (not sZAE), referencing the correct pathway in the DTA; the reason I decided to do this is because I noticed purchased-DLC is distributed throughout a folder structure similar to this with folders such as sZBE, sZCE, etc. Although being scanned by RB3, the game said the files were corrupted and deleted them off my SD card. So I take it that I either did something incorrect or it is not possible to do this. I am not sure which; is it possible to do this?

Please help!!
