[TUTORIAL] Hack DLC GH5, BH and GHWT: 3 in 1

Post by Antonito »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello, I have the pleasure of presenting to you the hack for the GH5 DLC, Band Hero and GHWT.

First of all, there are 2 methods: both work on the NTSC version of the games, and only 1 method works on PAL versions.
I didn't look into the method that works with the PAL version.

Are you ready? Then let's go! :)


Note: The tutorial is quite long to read, but very short to do. You'll take about 5 minutes to do everything!


1) Warning
First of all, know that you will need to switch your Wii Shop to NTSC. But first, you will need to delete your account from the shop channel: you will lose the downloaded channels as well as your Wii Points (which you can buy back after the manipulation).

So, NTSC games having DLC will work (you will finally be able to access the DLC!). But on PAL games with DLC (example: Guitar Hero World Tour), you won't be able to access the game's shop: on Guitar Hero World Tour, it will say "No Songs on the Server".

You will use a quite dangerous tool for your Wii: AnyRegionChanger. If you don't want to damage your console, follow my instructions to the letter. You are warned. Ready to continue? If yes, let's go!

Note to moderation: I don't know if the Wads provided in the archive are legal.

2) Necessary

Here's what you need:
  • A PAL or NTSC Wii
  • Guitar Hero 5 NTSC and/or Guitar Hero World Tour NTSC and/or Band Hero NTSC in Disc format. If you have it on Hard Drive, it's okay, but you won't be able to store the DLC on your SD Card: you'll have to store them in your Wii's internal memory
  • An SD or SDHC Card
  • The Homebrews Channel or a way to launch homebrews
  • My pack including:
    This content is for members only. Log in or register for free to see it.
3) SD preparation

Download the pack, then extract it. There is a "Read me" file. Read it.

Copy the contents of the "SD Root" folder to the root of your SD card.

4) Wii preparation

a) Introduction

This step only needs to be done if you have NEVER downloaded DLC.

b) Action!

Go to your game, then download a DLC (Free or otherwise, as you like!)
Once done, turn off your wii by pressing the Power button on the console for 5 seconds.

5) Installation of CIOS

You will need to install a CIOS: this is the "cIOS56-64-v5146-rev14.wad" file. Launch the homebrews channel, then Wadmanager.

Install the wad, like a normal wad. If you get an error, try again.
[align=center]DO NOT UNINSTALL IT, UNDER PAIN OF LOW LEVEL BRICKING YOUR WII.[/align][/b][/color]

6) Preparation of the shop channel (For PAL Wii ONLY)

a) Account deletion

To delete your account, go to the shop channel, then options (bottom right), then "delete your account".
You will be asked for the Wii's serial number: enter it. The last digit is in a box. Write it as a normal digit. ;)

b) Region change
Be careful to follow the instructions to the letter. I'll put a picture to help you!
Launch AnyRegionChanger from the HBC. Wait 20 seconds: you will be asked to press "1". Do it.

You arrive on a screen that looks like this (Thanks to Wiigen.fr for the image):
Image unavailable (removed by its host) Go down to "Shop Country Code" and select "49". (Use the Wiimote directional pad! ;) )

Go down to "Save Setting" and press "A".

Finally, do "Reboot to System Menu".

Launch the shop channel, follow the instructions, choose whether or not to link the account to an account on Nintendo's official website. Once done, move to the next step.

8) DLC installation

Relaunch Wadmanager, then install the wads in order:

-The one for Smash Hits
-The fix for GHWT DLC
-The GHWT DLC
-the GH5 DLC
You will have errors, it's normal!

When it's done, do "Home". The wii will reboot to the system menu. Turn off the console by holding the power button on the wii for 5 seconds, then turn it back on.

9) The final result!!!

Launch your game. We will take the example of GH5.

Go to the shop... it's going to take a while to connect.
Look for example at the title packs.... MY GOD! Everything is checked, as if you had bought everything!

You know what's left for you to do.... :twisted:
Enjoy!
Note: In the end, quite a long tutorial to read, but very short to do. You'll take about 5 minutes to do everything!

Note 2: You will see in the description and the MegaUpload archive the name of another site: the first site where I made the tutorial.

Note 3: Since the Guitar Hero 5 shop is shared with Band Hero, the hack works on both games! :arff:

Nice tutorial indeed. Especially since it isn't affected by the "textspeak" epidemic, which violates the most fundamental rules of our beautiful French language ;)

Hi Antonito ;)

As for mistakes, I skimmed your tutorial and it looks correct :D

As for feedback, I don't think I'll be able to test it, I would have preferred it for PAL games :93:

Sorry, but it's the best method: you install 4 wads to download whatever you want in the shop. The method for PAL games requires installing 2 wads per song... so... :mrgreen:

Well given how much of a mess it was at the start of the GHWT hack, I swear it's better to use the method I'm giving! ;)

A few small questions.....
What effect does AnyRegionChanger have on launching PAL backups with the GX loader? Will I need to reconfigure the console according to the region of the game to load?
On an "old" tv (50 hertz) will the picture be in black and white?
Thanks

Worked fine the first 2 times.
But, since then, when I try to access the GH5 music shop, the wii freezes at the end of downloading the downloadable list ( it freezes on "done" ) and I'm forced to force shut it down. :cry:
I should mention that my SD isn't full and that this happens even without the SD.
