0. Set up trucha signer (you only need to ever do this once)
1. Dump Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 to your PC.
2. open the GHIII.iso with trucha signer link: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=1909
3. extract the .dat and .wad of the song you wish to replace (located in the music directory)
4. open audacity (must be v.1.3.4)
5. load mp3 of the song you wish to use
*Skip steps 6-9 it YOU HAVE A STEREO WII GAME!
6. split stereo tracks (drop down menu on audio track)
7. make both tracks mono (drop down menu on each audio track)
8. select the :track button from tom menu bar
9. select :mix and render
10. change project rate to 33075 (BOTTOM LEFT CORNER of Audacity!)
11. export as .wav file from :File menu
*save it as the song you are replacing "i.e. slowride_song.wav"
12. reopen it in audacity to see if changes took.
--Now you have the "song file GHIII can use.--
**. Next are the Guitar and Rhythm Tracks "i.e. slowride_guitar.wav* and the slowride_rhythm.wav*"
13. load up that track you just made and erase all but the 1st second or so.
14. export as i.e., slowride_guitar.wav, and slowride_rhythm.wav.
--Now you have the Guitar and Rhythm tracks--
* = KEEP these and just rename accordingly, unless of course you have the real guitar/rhythm mp3s for the song
**Optional**
Pick about 15 sec of that song and save that one as i.e. slowride_preview.wav
11. Now you have all 4 files needed
12. Lastly put each one of those 3-4 files in there own folder and name them respectfully.
eg folder name = song - contains slowride_song.wav
= rhythm - contains slowride_rhythm.wav
etc
Follow below guide on how to replace FSB files
---The files you just created are compiled into an FSB file for the game.---
1. Get fsbank.exe (official tool to make FSB files). It's in the "tools" folder of the extracted files.
2. - Make 3-4 FSB files (one per each folder) with the default options,
*but only change the "Format" to IMA ADPCM. @ bottom left corner of program.*
-make sure to keep the file names exactly the same.
3. You should have 3 files in each of your 3-4 folders by now.
1. a .wav file
2. a .H file
3. a .fsb file..... If there is no .fsb after the name add it now.
Now lets compile all those files into the .wad and .dat files.
Download the following program.

2. Select the extracted .dat file "MUST BE THE SAME SONG AS ALL THE FILES YOU JUST CREATED!"

4. Replace the 3-4 files for song, guitar, rhythm, and preview. Select and hit replace.
*you can test the file by selecting it and pressing play.*
5. Remember to press "Save" after replacing the files.
6- Put the DAT and the WAD files inside the Wii ISO again.
You now have new audio!

If you are really interested in making your own GHIII/Wii customs go and read the whole thread at scorehero.com. Lots of information and discoveries have been made since the first guide. New tools on the way soon.
Hmm i've followed the guide twice and both times it failed.
Attempt 1
At the GH3 set list, the preview audio plays, I can select and load the song, but right when the song is about to start, it ends and the "You rock!" message pops up.
Attempt 2
At the GH3 set list, the preview audio plays, but when I select the song to load, it just sits at the loading screen.
I checked one of the other forums and they said it could be the DATEdit version that I'm using. I've only found version 0.1, is there an updated version?
