Install

Setting up the Rock Band 3 Deluxe repo for the first time is meant to be as easy as possible.

Download this branch by clicking the green "Code" button above.

in the Dependencies folder, there are two exe's that are needed for install. Git for Windows, and Dot Net 6.0 Runtime. Git is required for you to take advantage of auto updating via github pulls. Dot Net is required to build an ARK file, the archive format the game needs to run. You can setup git with all default options, same with dot net.

On Wii (PROS ONLY), extract your Rock Band 3 ISO using WIT, copy the files in "extracted_rb3/DATA/files/gen" to "_build/wii/". Once copied, run "_build_wii.bat", then copy all the files in "_build/wii/" back to "extracted_rb3/DATA/files/gen" and repack using the "copy" command in wit. Subsequent builds do not require copying the files from your extracted iso to "_build/wii/". Copy to your wii using whatever method you usually use, or drag the ISO onto Dolphin to boot.

Run the build script again to pull any new updates committed to the repo and rebuild a new ark.

Songs

You can find song packs compatible with all Rock Band titles for both platforms on the Spreadsheet.

There are currently no Wii songs available on the spreadsheet, instead use Onyx Music Game Toolkit to convert/generate your own custom song packs for Rock Band 3 on Wii.
