DS #2380: Guitar Hero: On Tour (USA)

[SleepingDragon]

I definitely am all for hacks that give us more songs, but I wouldn't even be interested in playing it without the guitar grip. Using the d-pad and buttons just wouldn't be the same.

 

[Spikey]

Can't wait until the custom songs hack comes out. I'd give it a week.

Messed up tip of the day:

Toysrus.com is currently running a buy 2 ds games get 1 free. Add 3 copies of Guitar Hero DS to a shopping cart. Remove the free picks. One free copy of guitar hero with the purchase of 2. Now it gets freaky. It's like 6 bucks shipping. You and a friend need a copy of Guitar Hero. So you split the cost of those two, you would have paid around 2.50 in tax anyhow. Return the third copy of guitar hero at Best Buy or another retailer. Free $50 gift card. Weird.

Well, pretty much all of the main files of the game are located in one .gob file inside the rom. Someone will need to figure out how to open up/modify that file for the game to be editable. Well, probably.

68 USERS--26 members are looking at this thread--all at once. I dont think I've seen this sort of buzz in a release thread in a long, long while--if ever, as I haven't been here that long...and no big games have come out since I was here. except TWEWY, which I dont think got this sort of responce....


Edit: Corrected my numbers to be clearer.

are you kidding me?
theres at least at one point in the topics where 20 people looking at the games that come out that dont even have a popular name
and TWEWY had like 500 people reading. or 300. somewhere in the hundreds
FFC:RoC also had hundreds
dont be surprised, maybe you just dont look there..

if that sounded mean, im not trying to be
im just surprised you havent seen the numbers we've had

You know, it wasn't until someone mentioned hacking it to work with the buttons that I remembered previous GH installments working just fine without the actual guitar (didn't even require strumming). Granted, they could've easily skipped over this feature since it's impossible to purchase the cart without the add-on new from the store, but what happens if you break or lose the attachment? They could provide a replacement one online or in stores, but....

I don't know, seeing how there are four fret buttons and either the +Control Pad or ABXY...that's a little much to remove. But it was coded specifically to be held sideways, so I dunno.

lol there's a few copies on eBay without the frets(adapter). I hope this can be purchased separately.

Would it be possible to do it with AR codes ala Phantom Hourglass?

 

[Doomsday Forte]

Especially Ring of Fates because it didn't want to work for a majority of the people here, hence it having a massive topic and big interest too. =P @tinymonkeyt

Oh dear, people are going to make a quick buck off of stupid people again. *remembers the "BUY THE N64 (box) FOR $999" thing or whatever it was*

Might be possible with an ASM codes. Basically hack the assembly code that the game comprises of that controls the fret hardware and changes it to use the buttons instead. I really a really talented fellow who created assembly codes that I use today in the cheat database to allow you to change the backlight settings in the DS during game play as well as to use the motion pack hardware and other hardware on DS games not originally supporting them.

Well, I wasn't hear when any big games were released. And I mainly meant the thread had only been open for a few moments and people were already all over it--at this late hour, but maybe its only a late hour for me.

@tinymonkeyt--of course that wasn't mean. Your not mean at all and you were only stating facts.

*yawn* I'm not big on Roms myself and dont generally follow the releases of them so I generally miss the big parties that pile into the forums for them/

Edit: I sent this too soon.

Agreed. Even if a hack comes out for this game, I'm still buying it just for that adapter. I'm sure the game won't be as much fun(if fun at all) without the frets. Actually I'm going tomorrow to buy the game. I passed it up today when I saw it just because I didn't know if the game sucked or not. But I saw a couple videos and it looks really good. Plus having Guitar Hero on the go is worth the money too. This will be a nice one to add to the collection of forty or so DS games I've purchased so far.

So will this work if i buy an attachment for it and use it with a rom??

 

[gizmo_gal]

that seems to be the understanding--good luck finding an attachment though as the game just came out--if you can find a used copy, then its probably coming with the game.

 

[SleepingDragon]

My understanding is that they will NEVER sell the guitar grip separately, at least not for a long time.

 

[distorted.freque]

Ooh. :3 This was finally dumped, eh? Most of the comments about this game are pretty good so I'll probably buy it.

 

[kreatosoupa]

Nobody's posted a pic of the add-on?

There ya go... I didn't know what it looked like so I guess there must be others as well.

 

[mintsauce82]

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T YELL

RIP Guitar Hero. Utter shite.

 

[Maverick_z]

Honestly, why would someone dump this knowing that without that attachment the game won't work, unless they know of a hack to make it work

 

[Fieryshadowz]

Because you can still buy the game for the attachment and then play the game on your Slot-1 with the Attachment on.

 

[Dominator]

wait, wait a hack comign soon i'm sure plus its totaly playable with the D-pad and stylus
