DISCLAIMER - READ BEFORE CONTINUING
Do this as a last resort if the charts you want to convert were specifically made for PC clone games (Clone Hero/YARG). If the chart originally existed in RB format, whether it be official DLC or customs, get that first and follow the main guide at the top!
Failure to do so will result in lost metadata associated with the original song package, including:
- Incompatibility with any song upgrades in RB3DX
- Keys, Pro Guitar, Harmonies, & chart fixes to legacy RB songs that didn’t have them
- Incompatibility with online play and leaderboards
- Animation data such as character lipsync will be lost
Should you decide to ignore the disclaimer and proceed, you will be refused any support from the MiloHax Discord if you run into any issues. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
