GH3 PC Customs

[Llednik]

Does anyone else mod Guitar hero 3 for PC?

I wanted to discuss what programs you use and what songs you put on it.

I use GHEX and thus far only have one custom....ERUPTION!..

So, anyone else?

Might as well just play Frets On Fire.

Same thing. I can't imagine a modded GH3 to be legal.

Yeah, I think you're probably right on this.

Re: GH3 PC Customs

Anyway you look at it it's all gonna be illegal somehow...

GHex is a simple binary editor. It lets users view and edit a binary file in both hex and ascii with a multiple level undo/redo mechanism. Features include find and replace functions, conversion between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal values, and use of an alternative, user-configurable MDI concept that lets users edit multiple documents with multiple views of each.

Considering it lets you edit a discs coding, Id say its probably illegal, not sure though.

How is just playing the game illegal?

Re: GH3 PC Customs

From what I've gathered, using GHex is legal in some aspects. I'm not going to talk too much about it because I have a headache right now, but I'm going to use GH2 as an example really quick. What GHex does is make an image of the disc, and then it puts the disc into a format readable by GHex. It then allows you to replace the songs with songs and charts done by other people. Doing this is only illegal if you use a song you never purchased (Be it iTunes, a CD, Amazon, or some other method), or if the song and chart were ripped from one of the other games.

Now I'm not too sure with the PC version, but for the most part, it's legal. Hell, Activision knows allllll about the site that supports the program (The site also has guides for customs and all of that jazz). They even let some representatives from the site go and play the game before its release (They're why we got to see TtFaF before we knew of many other songs).

Just my humble, if long winded, opinion.

Talking about customs, Muse...

Sivart basically got it all in there.

Re: GH3 PC Customs

A "PC version" bacically makes it so you don't have to buy the game or system.

That doesn't sound too legal to me.

The PC version is the disc you buy at a store made by Red Octane. It's legal, the putting songs on it is questionable. I bought the game legally.

Uhhh...

The game is definitely legal.

Re: GH3 PC Customs

Ah, didn't know they came out with an actual PC version.

Re: GH3 PC Customs

Re: GH3 PC Customs

Yeah, modding it shouldn't cause troubles. I rememeber stumbling onto a forum that had The Tragic Prince for GH1 (modding the PS2). Wouldn't suprise me if there was one for GH3.
