OMG finally. Spent forever trying to get this to work with dolphin. You're great! You have to update your rockband 2 to 1.02 for your game data folder to show up.
you weren't joiking about being the only video in youtube explaining like this edit, just installed the song and dropped the rap file to it's folder and actually working in rb3
I just found how to load songs without freezing on Rock Band 3! You need to install the .rap file USING THE MENU on RPCS3 "install packages/raps", or just draging the .rap file to the emulator like the .pkg files. When I tried just putting the .rap files on the exdata folder, it doesn't work at all, and I tested this back and forth. I don't know if it's something with the newest versions of RPCS3, but now it's loading the songs without freezing (dlc from rb1, rb2, rb3, even export keys).
I have installed all DLC's on RB3 and in RB2 it said "There was an error indexing add-on content. Please visit the Music Store and re-download an item of add-on content". I'm pretty sure if you try to install RB2 DLC's only it could work. There is separately signed folders so if you download only ones for Rock Band 2 it could work. I never got it to work myself.
For you guys who's having the problem that the song are actually work in the menu but freezing when in loading screen, the solution is download the old version of rcps3 (maybe around the june 2020 update). The latest update are preventing dlc install
Just downloaded "Tribute" by "Tenacious D" DLC and it works in both RB2 and RB3. I don't have any problem and I don't seem to be able to recreate it. At least as of "0.0.14-11758".
@@VitorPh3nom I don't have any problems with DLC songs I use. I don't even look at the region of the DLC I just install what I can get. I have over 100 DLC songs in RB2, RB3 and it all works. Even "licensing-conflicted" songs work.
Just to test I tried the same dlc, with the same game and dont work, i get stuck in loading screen even putting the rap file in \dev_hdd0\home\00000001\exdata\ idk why just here dont work, i tried others dlc too but get the same problem, someone help me
RPCSN servers are currently very limited. I will assume the DLC requires an online check, so it is not possible to play. Try to find an offline version of the DLC or check your RPCN server connection.
No. If you have a DLC that does not exist in any databases and modded PS3 you can dump them for review. (If my information is correct) Also, you can export RB songs that were transferred to Phase Shift/Clone Hero format back to RB2/3 format using Onyx (onyxide customs or Onyx Music Game Toolkit). All DLC songs are available as PS/CH songs.
I bet I can get customs to work if I will find RB2 compatible custom song. Otherwise I will have to make existing one compatible myself and I'm not sure I can do that.
Update: Songs are showing in the game but are unplayable. Only the preview is playing just like in "Customs (almost) working in Rock Band 2 (PlayStation 3)" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7u4UOu5v6W8.html . To get to that point I used this - customscreators.com/index.php?/topic/17581-playing-custom-on-rock-band-2-ps3/ . I don't think I can go beyond that point on my own. I hope YT is not going to delete this comment because of links on MY CHANNEL.
@@Igroorg I wasn't notified of this second comment (haven't had time to reply to the first one until now), and well, that's something at least! once i'm less busy i'll try it myself, maybe I can figure something out (I doubt I will, but I can try). thanks!
If you will replace song id, dta, venues, and encryption of the song to RB2 compatible and delete RB3 specific instruments it might work. I think there might be a guide on how to do that on the internet.
@JafetSánchez9 Of course! Only numbered Rock Band games have a problem with loading older game's DLC. RPCS3 does install DLC properly it just in some cases doesn't load the other game's DLC with it.
@@Igroorg I installed McCartney and Green Day DLC and they didn't work on RB3, The Beatles DLC on TBRB didn't work either. However, the Green Day DLC did work on GDRB. I couldn't find John Lennon's Imagine DLC. What I could do? (Sorry my bad english).
I think you might have commented on the wrong video. This is a video about RPCS3 emulator and maybe it will work on a modded PS3. Nintendo Wii is a completely different console that require a different format of files, folders, DLCs and encryption. So probably this will not work on a modded Wii.
Hey man, I installed about 100 songs. However, my game does not show all of them. It says showing 195/257 songs. What does this mean? The game recognizes that the songs exist, but wont display them in the song lists.
Кидаешь все .rap в окно эмулятора. Потом кидаешь все .pkg туда-же (отдельно). Если это DLC для предыдущей игры - ищешь куда они установились и кидаешь их к файлам DLC нужной игры (1:57 - 3:10). DLC кидать только в "PS3 Game Data", а не к образу игры.
Nopaystation is pretty good but you might need to download their app. Also there is a page somewhere that has all the DLCs for all the Rock Band games but I don't have a good source for that.
I guess if you already have any RB2 DLC and it's working in the game then try to find USRDIR with this DLC and work with that folder instead. Sorry for the delay YT does not notify me about comments anymore.
@@Igroorg I tried saving, it didn't work. I installing RB2 specific dlc and got the game data but when I installed the other dlc, it didn't work either.
Nice video bro, thx. but did u know if this only work in rb2? cause I tried in rb3 and It doesn't work, it even shows on track list and i can hear the intro, but when i tried to play the game freezes
RB3 works for me with DLC content and customs. Although you need to put some songs in RB3 folder manually. Some songs (customs, never seen it on DLC songs) can cause freeze.
@@goodkill8335 All of RB1 DLC content work on RPCS3 without any guides - just install in the emulator and copy the RAP file. My guide is mainly to help understand how to copy RB1 DLC to RB2 and if you get the point also do the same to get RB1 and RB2 DLC to RB3. If for you it just does not work and you checked everything and tried again then it's something on your end. Try asking the community/forums about it. For me, all RB1 content works on RB1, RB2 and RB1 content works on RB2, etc.
@@Igroorg wow I'm dumb I just realized you're using the EU version of RB2 and its working with the US DLC! Thank you so much for this video you're the best!
@@Igroorg thanks I figured that out yesterday messing with the options lol. I still have some glitches with rock band 3 and beetles rock band. With the instruments and hair , is that normal?
How good is Xenia compared to rpcs3? I'm really happy with the performance in some games like rock band 1 to 3 but guitar hero has a lot of framedrops for me.
In order to play RB/GH on Xenia you need to find the right build and have a real Xbox 360 guitar/drums etc. On Xenia Guitar Hero will have slow motion, hit boxes for notes are constantly sliding and major sound problems (audio, video, and latency issues). Rock Band 3, 2 is in intro state on Xenia and Rock band 1 is in menus. Some people managed to go in game but most say that it crashes upon pressing quickplay. You can read about Xenia progress for different games on their GitHub. Right now the best way to play RB is RPCS3 and to play GH is Dolphin.
@@pavloskypraios DLC like "Drowning Pool - Bodies" or "Rock Band 2 Export Key". Just drag and drop PKG file into the emulator window. After the install is done data should appear. (To use the DLC itself you will also need to drag and drop RAP file). You don't need to manage Rock Band 2 DLC with file explorer if you are playing them in Rock Band 2. Just install them (PKG and RAP).
@@Igroorg I did everything the same as in this video except dumping the files into the rb3 install directory and then tried to load the game from rb3 data. I still freeze as soon as a dlc song starts to load.
@@chizoke I also had this error. The song you are trying to use might be too old or incompatible, at least for RPCS3. I had this error when I tried installing "Help" by 'The Beatles" custom.
Igroorg Thanks, I should have replied also. I had issues with some songs from the beatles, lego blitz and some customs. The game is working 100% for me now.
@@Igroorg I got all the incompatible files out finally. Do you know where to find the export key for RB1? I've got everything loaded and working in RB3 except RB1 songs.
