Custom Guitar Hero 2 360 discs?

Hi there, you seem to be new here! Here at Dark Diamond we frequently update with news about video games, anime, Japan and other cool stuff. Head on over to our homepage or go ahead and subscribe to get updates! Enjoy!

Well, it seems the saying “when there is a will, there is a way” holds especially true for hackers with too much time on their hands. Users of the ScoreHero online guitar hero score database community have reportedly developed “a tool used for injecting CUSTOM SONGS into GH2 for the xbox 360!”. This short video shows “No One Like You” ripped right out of the PS2’s “Encore rock the 80’s edition” inserted into a custom disc being played on the 360. Now before you get excited at the prospect of tearing up your favorite Dream Theater or Metallica tracks on your 360, it is noted by the developer of the tool that you must have a modded xbox 360 to be able to play these custom discs. This of course, will void your warranty and likely get you permanently banned from live. Is it worth it to play custom tracks with Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band around the corner? Who knows, but it certainly says a lot of the tenacity and ingenuity of today’s amateur programmers out there to break all of the protection the 360 has in place.

DIY: An NES MP3 Player!

Here’s an NES mod that not even you tech illiterate folks should have any trouble with! Truthfully, all it consists of is gutting open an NES controller, cutting a hole in it, and fitting an MP3 player in it. I wouldn’t suggest trying this with an iPod, but hey, least it looks cool!

Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess Style

Here’s a video thats going around GameTrailers, that’s making me seriously question Nintendo. Its Ocarina of Time played with the Wiimote, via emulation and a bluetooth dongle, very simple actually. From the author:

Using the Wiimote, Project64, GlovePIE, my homemade sensor bar, and a Bluetooth USB dongle, you can set up OoT to play with Twilight Princess controls.

This cant have taken more than a month to pull off and it was done by a fan. So, what exactly was Nintendo adding to the game while they waited so many months to launch it with the Wii? My money is on pretty much nothing.
