I TAKE LITTLE TO NOT CREDIT FOR THIS. I CAN TEST IT AND QUOTE OTHER PEOPLE, BUT MY MODDING PROWESS ENDS ABOUT THERE.

This topic was started by me on the Scorehero Forums (my alias is MrGiles there, inside joke between my friends and I). It first outlines the Trucha Signer. It then delves into editing the Wii GH3 .iso to implement custom songs and, in a matter of hours most likely, custom note charts.
As of right now, these things cannot be implemented:
Custom Images. Videos do work.
Setlist Edits
Known issues:
None!
