I recently bought Rock Band for wii. I have been playing it without problems since I bought it. For all the game I own, I like to have a backup copy, in case something happens to the original. Normally I find the images on the internet and burn those, I do not want to bother backing them up myself. Is there some problem with backing up rock band? I have not been able to find a backup to download anywhere. I am not asking for a link to an iso, all I am asking is whether it is possible to back it up, because I haven't seen one anywhere.

It must be possible to backup since there has been an iso on Newzbin.com for 11 days now.

Yea, there is an homemade ISO floating around somewhere.

It's a real shame too, it seems that the scene really died lately. No Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Rock Band, Wall-E (working copy) among others. Wonder why the sudden lapse?

i have all of them already lol..

I got the aerosmith but still cant find rock band :( dont have membership to "Newzbin.com"

This is one of the reasons why I gave up torrents. It use to take me 2-5 days to get a Wii game, now it is under 45 minutes thanks to the newsgroups and a 25mb Cable connection.

can u recommend any good newsgroups that don't require invites?

Lol. Newsgroups don't require invites. You pay for the service each month, anyone can do it. Giganews is the best.

What kind of speed are you getting with Giganews. I just did a 3 day trial and it was the same speed as my newshosting account, but $10 more a month, so I didn't think that it was better. It did have longer retention, but I think 80 days on newshosting is sufficient. Both were around 950 KB/sec about 1 Meg/sec. Can this be tweaked for faster speeds, upping connections did not raise the speed any?

I'm just going from what most people tell me, I think the 200 day retention is a big factor and I have heard people often get speeds in excess of 2 meg/sec.

Personally I'm a tight git and am happy to download torrents at 500k/sec for free :)

[edit] I just did a speed test on giganews which claims I am getting 4.1 Meg/sec, how acurate this is I have no idea.

Okay, I have a question, does anyone know if the updates on the USA Rockband will Brick my Japanese Wii... I know some games I can get away with the updates and some I can't...?

The rock band disc somehow made my wii unable to play modded guitar hero 3 discs. For example one with songs from gh2 and one with songs from gh1. Normal games still work fine though. So watch out if you don't want that to happen.

If you updated your wii to 3.3 then rockband modded discs won't work as they are trucha signed. Play them through Gecko OS and all should be fine.

i have tried gecko os for this and other signed games but cannot get it to work after selecting start game it just goes blank.
i have a pal wii with pal game is there a setting i should be selecting.

What chip do you have and is it fully updated?
