Guitar Fun 2.7b - Image 1 


Thanks to the efforts of team CBT, rhythm gaming can now be made possible via the Nintendo Wii homebrew channel. Sure, you've got Rock Band and Guitar Hero (and even Rock Revolution) - but if you were looking to add custom songs that suited your taste, you'd need to wait for the companies to offer it as Downloadable Content">downloadable content.

With Guitarfun v2.7b, that just isn't necessary anymore on the Nintendo Wii.

One particularly great thing about Guitarfun is how it was developed. Owing a lot to the influence of Frets on Fire, the Wii port of Guitarfun has been made compatible with most Frets on Fire songs - if simply not all of them. And Guitarfun comes with it's own channel that can be installed right within the Wii menu - assuming everything goes right with the installation.

Because unfortunately, that part is a bit tricky. If you don't have a WAD installer on hand (needed for easier installation and for the channel), you'll have to make enough room inside your trusty SD card for the songs and the software.

After downloading and extracting the archive provided below, you must manually transfer the folder "guitarfun" (it's inside the next archive after your extract the first one) to the root of your SD card.

Now before you go executing the program, you'll have to move every song you've downloaded into their respective directories inside the "songs" folder. Even if they aren't in a folder, they'll be read, but wouldn't it be great to organize them? More updates as we get them. Enjoy, folks!

Great game

I hope they don't drop the .dol version. I think I prefer launching it through homebrew channel than as a channel on its own.

Looks good

This looks like a great game, but I am yet to play it. The Homebrew Channel doesn't find it and TP freezes. Anyone else having these problems?

ds

im sorry if this insults you but when using the HB channel, did you place the dol inside a folder named Guitar Fun, (just the dol) and then add a meta.xml and optionally the icon.png and then place the other guitar fun folder the one with the song folder at the root of the sd card when using TP make sure you have the dol and folder in the root i installed the wad last night before this was posted lol, dont know how i found it the one night i wanted it lol

Just curious... does it work for any fret on fire song?

So if a song works on Fret on Fire it works in Guitar Fun?

yep

I did both of those. Still not sure what is wrong...but I will figure it out! :D

Yes

It comes with the same 3 demo songs as Frets on Fire. I have also played about 6 other downloads for FoF on it.

*sigh* doesn't work with PS2 GH1 controller + USB

I only have a PS2 GH1 controller (wired). I can use it to play Fret on Fire with a PS2/USB adaptor on PC. I guess I am not that lucky. Tried it as keyboard and define key won't work. May be I need to buy one of those PS2->GC adapter. Evilbay shop is charing me $16US for shipping *OUCH*
