Formatting TrackListing.xml for easier editing

This is a one-time step.

  • Locate TrackListing.xml and make a backup
    • TrackListing.xml location: [Wii, PS3, X360]/Audio/Audiotracks/TrackListing.xml

Installing the Custom

A custom should include the Song Folder(s), "Info for TrackListing.xml", and "Info for TRAC.csv."

See the README.txt included in the custom for more info.

Setting up the Audiotracks folder

  • Navigate to the Audiotracks folder
    • [Wii, PS3, X360]/Audio/Audiotracks/
  • Copy the custom's Song Folder into the Audiotracks folder.
    • The Song Folder should contain files like "DJ.fsb" and "DJ_Expert.xmk".
  • Open DJHCP, then drag & drop "tracklisting.xml" in the "Add from xml" button
  • Drag & drop the "Info for Tracklisting.xml" from the custom's folder into the "Add from xml" button
  • Check if at the bottom the custom's song id shows up
  • Click "Update file" to export the list to "tracklisting.xml"

Setting up the Text folder

  • Navigate to the Text folder
    • [Wii, PS3, X360]/Text/
  • If you haven't done so already, set up djh_text_csv_convert
    • Save djh_text_csv_convert.exe to the Text folder
    • Run djh_text_csv_convert.exe, it should spit out several CSV files.
  • Open TRAC.csv in Notepad++
    • DO NOT OPEN THESE FILES IN MS EXCEL, MS Excel can't save these files properly.
  • Open the custom's "Info for TRAC.csv." in Notepad++, and copy the contents into the bottom of TRAC.csv
    • Adding newlines at the bottom of TRAC.csv is ok.
  • Save TRAC.csv
  • Drag-and-drop TRAC.csv onto djh_text_csv_convert.exe

PS3-only: Rename all files to be upper-case

The PS3 console requires all game filenames to be upper-case or else the game/customs won’t work. Fortunately, this is easily done with a script.

Warning: Do not run this script outside of the DJ Hero folder. It will rename everything in the folder containing the script.

Note: Renaming only works properly on NTFS formatted drives. If the script isn’t renaming anything, you’ll need to move your game files to an NTFS drive like your internal hard drive.
