Rock Band 2 Rips ? - There're some early copies out so?

[wseyller]

I haven't broken the encryption, nor have I tried, nor will I. xorloser is the guy behind it. There are some others in his shadow trying to break it.

Asking how long it will take to break the encryption is like asking how long I have to live. Maybe tomorrow, maybe 50 years from now.

Could someone link to the "progress thread" on scorehero? thx

[mrhoeivo]

^^Yes, I keep hearing about this 'magical thread,' I'd love to see it.

[wseyller]

Actually, here is the thread, not from scorehero.


Probably starts somewhere around here on page 81

xorloser doesn't post on that forum?

[mrhoeivo]

I'm pretty sure there's a scorehero thread too, they reference it at echoingthesound.

Hey, can someone up the mid to The Middle, by Jimmy Eat World from RB2 if at all possible?

NVM...Found what I was looking for...

What's that? I'm banned from scorehero at the time being.

With some small changes ArkTool now supports Rockband2. Mogg encryption has changed since Rockband1 and so I will not be releasing the ArkTool update until song decryption is supported.
I was a bit disappointed by the response to the release of ArkTool last time. It seemed for ages everyone really wanted such a tool, but upon release of both the tool and its sourcecode, only 2 ppl ever donated to show appreciation :p References to it were even removed from this board.

Just to let people know, it appears that Rockband2 will work with unencrypted Moggs as well as with Moggs that are encrypted with the old encryption format found in Rockband1.

It also looks like Rockband2 does an SHA hash check over at least some of the important files such as midi and dtb, so these files wouldnt be able to be changed.

Assuming it does not do hash checks on the files inside "exported songs" packages, then it should be possible to make custom songs inside these. I have not yet tried this to know for sure if it is doable however.

So does this mean that RB2 on FOF will be soon? Or does it mean that it's now possible for custom songs on RB2 a'la the last days of GH2 before GH3 was released?

[commador22]

its rippable, but i tried, and the format is a little different

A little progress update to show that this is coming along. Unfortunately my spare time is in short supply"]http://www.xorloser.com/arktool7.jpg[/img]


Decrypted song from rockband2 "Pretend We're Dead":



Let me just say that it really seems they didn't want these songs decrypted! You have to jump through a million hoops to generate the required decryption key, and even once decrypted the song files need some more "tweaking"!

xorloser has made a lot of progress getting the RB2 songs "ripped". Lets hope its done soon!

w00t, I'm very glad to hear this.

Can't wait, going to be great when we get everything on here.

Oh, quick (maybe stupid) question. Is the new DLC encrypted in the same manner as Rock Band 2?
