How do I play dlc for rock band 2? Wii mod lite is not letting me install. It says sd card mode is enabled on the game, but I see no option for playing them. Help?

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 7:16 PM

#

Help?

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 9:13 PM

#

rockband 2 dlc on rockband 2 or rockband 2 dlc on rockband 3?

#

also, its supposed to say error 1022 if thats what you mean by wii mod lite not letting you install

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:41 PM

#

RB2 dlc on RB2
and yes it is 1022

#

I have the dlc on my sd card

#

i just dont know how to play them

#

@sleek blaze

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:47 PM

#

I haven’t tried with rb2 before only rb3, but did you use wad2bin with the correct keys, cert, rb2 ID string and check nullkey?

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:47 PM

#

?

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:47 PM

#

Oh

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:47 PM

#

i got the dlc from mariocube 😎

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:48 PM

#

alright, you used wad2bin correctly according to the tutorial right?

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:48 PM

#

wait

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:48 PM

#

You checked the nullkey box and put the number Id for rock band 2 in it right?

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:49 PM

#

oh wait

#

so i have to use wad2bin to convert the wad into a file that the game can use?

#

I didnt know wad2bin was a seperate thing

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:52 PM

#

Wad2bin takes those wads of the rock band 2 dlc’s you got, converts them into bin files that rock band uses and puts them in the correct folder and matches them to your Wii’s ID I think, so that it doesn’t get caught on piracy checks

#

And gives you a wad to put “save data” files on your Wii’s memory to bypass piracy again

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:52 PM

#

so... i probably don't have time to do that tonight

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

Not if you don’t have 40 minutes

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

40 min!

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

It takes some time to convert, plus you’re missing the rest of the apps the tutorial tells you to use I bet

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

i have like 10

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:54 PM

#

If you hurry you can maybe get 1 dlc pack working nice

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:54 PM

#

ok nvm i got the rest of the night 🙂

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:54 PM

#

first I would get wad2bin, xyzzy keys, and undownload that wad you tried to upload with wiimod lite

wind burrow Nov 12, 2022, 11:55 PM

#

nothing happened when i did it

sleek blaze Nov 12, 2022, 11:55 PM

#

Well 1022 means it worked a little

#

As far as any rock band dlc uploading goes, something got added to memory, otherwise the dlc wouldn’t read as legit

#

As far as I know.
I didn’t make any of the programs, I just got every guitar hero/rock band dlc working

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 12:08 AM

#

aight

#

but wait

#

where do i get the tutorial

#

@sleek blaze

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 12:11 AM

#

its the document below the big wads and split wads folders from where you got your dlc from

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 12:11 AM

#

oh hmm
i missed that
okay

#

Thanks, I'll try getting to it right now

#

wait i can get xyzzy from homebrew browser

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 12:54 AM

#

from the github, get the mac version. its an oddly compressed file, so this post recommends an extracting program for mac to use

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:17 AM

#

#

nvm

#

gui.py?

do you think sv.juwiz.cfd is a safe place to download from

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

Does it really sound trust worthy

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

that was where i got directed from the supposedly official website

#

winebottler.kronenberg.org

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

Well I’m sure there’s some actual way to run wad2bin on Mac hold on

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:33 AM

#

yea im not downloading winebottler

#

wait

#

got an idea

#

"It comes as a .tar.gz"

#

from that reddit discussion u sent me

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

oh you didnt unzip it

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

no i got the wrong file

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

what did you get the windows exe?

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

yes

#

😒

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

yeah

#

that would be an issue

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:37 AM

#

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:40 AM

#

#

um

#

bro what do i do

#

the instructions are like incompatible

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

ive just got no idea how to compile wad2bin tbh

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

wait

Unix-like OS (Linux / MacOS):

Install your preferred C compiler compatible with the gnu11 standard using your OS's package manager (e.g. apt, pacman, brew, etc.).
Create a copy of config.mk.template in the same directory and rename it to config.mk. Open it with a text editor.
Update the CC variable to make it point to your installed C compiler (leaving gcc is usually fine), and wipe the value from the EXE_EXT variable.
Build using the make command.

#

is that it

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

thats what it says

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

this is gibbrish

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:45 AM

#

get a c compiler?

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

Next google search - What is a c complier?

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

like java or python

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

i have xcode which is a c complier

#

xcode command line tools

#

okay so step one i got done

#

but step ii. is like something completely different

#

Create a copy of config.mk.template in the same directory and rename it to config.mk. Open it with a text editor.

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

and your c compiler doesnt have a config.mk.template anywhere?

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

hmm

#

i had a c complier before today

#

oh

#

now i wait for 100 years

#

brew.sh install xcode ...

#

still waiting...

#

oh

#

i have 2 outdated formulae installed

#

apperently

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

but no congfig.mk.template?

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

no

#

it says make command gcc but the it says error no input files

#

this is impossible

sleek blaze Nov 13, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

i wish it didnt say same directory because that means nothing

#

it might as well say "create a copy of the file" what file

wind burrow Nov 13, 2022, 2:32 AM

#

#

thats the one thing

#

if i could find a file i could do it

sleek blaze Nov 20, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

Is the pc windows? You want the wad2bin file from the description of the video above

wind burrow Nov 20, 2022, 9:50 PM

#

it is windows

sleek blaze Nov 20, 2022, 9:51 PM

#

Get the wad2bin from that video’s description, download it as a zip file and unzip it into a single folder

#

Go into the folder inside that is also titles wad2bin and use the exe below gui.py

#

2 things should open, we want to focus on the small blue window with the name wad2bin gui

Put the root of your usb in the top part, not inside of any folder just on the usb

wind burrow Nov 20, 2022, 10:11 PM

uh oh

dont have device.cert

sleek blaze Nov 20, 2022, 10:12 PM

Just close the windows using it that are open and right click it in the file manager. There will be an option that says eject

no eject option

Once you get the cert file, just put the root, keys, and cert where it tells you to, put 00010000535A4145 in the parent TID if you’re using the US version of the dlc, and check the box that says use nullkey

Launch Wii Mod Lite from the Homebrew Channel.
Go to the WAD Manager menu.
Select the folder on your SD Card called “wad”.
Highlight the WAD file starting with “00010000” and ending with “bogus.wad”.
Press the - Button.
Press the A Button, and then press it again when it prompts you to.
Ignore any errors.
Now in the menu where you were before to select WAD files, highlight the same WAD file again.
Press the A Button, and then press it again when it prompts you to.
Ignore any errors.

pressed minus
