I found a post in the forums that was exactly what I needed. It's the 127k d3dx9_42.dll. I Googled and found nothing but 180k files and some with mall adware. I tried M$ but were no help either. Now that I found the link to the needed driver in the forum and installed it everything is working like a charm. I'm new to Rocksmith and Customsforge. I realize this site is relatively new but it is very impressive and the admins are going a good job. Thanks to everyone for your help.

FANTASTIC! I downloaded the correct (smaller) dll file and installed it and everything is working perfectly now. Thank you so much for the help. Please post this information in the FAQ where it can be found easily. I'm sure there are a lot more with the same problem. I had to search for yours before I found it here. Thanks again.

@@dscottintexas It sounds like you are doing everything correct. Strange that only 1 custom is showing up at a time. I have over 100 showing up in my learn a song menu.

All I can suggest is just double checking everything. Make sure you have the correct D3DX9_42.dll file and that it is located in the Rocksmith2014 directory.

I have seen two versions of this file. One has a size of about 129kb and the other is about 1.80mb. You want the smaller one.

Have you tried the rocksmith 2014 patcher.exe file that is listed as PC alternative 2 at the top of this thread?

Make sure your cdlc's are placed in the Rocksmith2014/dlc folder.

Sounds like you are following the correct steps using the toolkit. Unless the song already has the AppID of a song you own, I don't think the song will show up in the learn a song menu if you haven't changed the AppID. 

If you have not watched this video you might watch it just to see if you are missing something.

Great news; I located the link to the smaller dll file and BINGO, the songs are playing just fine now. Thank you sooooo much.

You are on PC?

 

You need to download a file first.

Also buy Cherub Rock.

I'm having the same problem. I purchased Rocksmith2014 and Cherub Rock 24875 from Steam as downloads. The program has been working perfectly for the past 3 days since I got it. Yesterday I downloaded a few songs to try installing. I have the p.psarc files and put a couple into the dlc folder. I put the d3dx9_42.dll in the root directory of Rocksmith2014 which is in my c:/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/rocksmith2014. Since the song files have the 248750 id I shouldn't have had to do anything more. When I tested the first one it was in the list, played a sample. I opened it, the tuner came up, I tuned ok then it wient to the playing window with the speakers. I do have sound. But the song never started. I had to alt/f4 to close the program. The second song I used the Song Creator to change the ID number. It went through the process with success but the same thing happened when I opened and tried to run the song. Please add it to the FAQ list as I think it must be happening to a lot more people also. I'm at a loss how to solve this problem.
