hey folks

I did a couple searches but i'm not finding what I need.

the other day I downloaded REM's Man on the Moon, I've played it a few times (song plays great). Then today, I downloaded Rolling Stones' Wild Horses, and played it a few times. Then went to play Man on the Moon again, but the song doesn't show up in my list of "learn a song" 

Anybody else run into this problem? It shows up in my list of CLDC (through home/steamapps) but not on the game.

RS2014, played through steam on a MAC

Thanks!

Pinky,

I've been a member for a bit over a month and have been thrilled. Here's a couple variables that would help other members troubleshoot with you:

What version of RS

What platform

Did you get/use the RSinjector

Did you convert and if so, are you using the correct version.

I actually wiped my progress through steam, I think because instead of using RSinjector, I accidentally launched RS2014 through steam.

Good luck!

Also a huge debt of gratitude here! I play on my PS3 and have over 100 songs as DLC through PSN but I also have the game through STEAM (on MAC format). 

As much as I love all the songs provided by RS14 via playstation, I was in a bit of a rut. So doing youtube research, I came across Back in Black as a CUSTOM SONG... -mind BLOWN- 

So this opens up a ton of beautiful, fulfilling songs from bands which I don't think will ever be available on RS14 proper. 

Thanks much and have a productive, musical 2015

 

Here are all the steps:

 

1. Your user account needs to be an Administrator account.
2. You need to enable third-party apps.  Open System Preferences, click on "Security & Privacy", and on the General tab under "Allow apps downloaded from", choose "Anywhere"
3. Download and install Steam.  It must be installed in the default location.
4. Download Rocksmith.  
5. Purchase the Smashing Pumpkins "Cherub Rock" DLC for Rocksmith.  You must buy it, so that it is licensed to you.  You can purchase any DLC that you want, but using Cherub Rock is the easiest as that is the default AppID used by most cDLC's here.
6. Download RSInjector from this site (here is the link: DOWNLOAD)
7. Place RSInjector in your Apps folder (it can actually be anywhere, but you might as well keep all your apps in one place)
8. Download the customs you want.  Make sure they end in "_m.psarc".  If they end in "_p.psarc" they are PC only versions and will need to be converted with the Toolkit.  I'll put instructions for that down below.
9. Place the customs in the dlc folder.  The location is:  "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Rocksmith2014".  It is a hidden folder, so the easiest way to find it is to open Finder, and using the "Go" menu, select "Go To Folder" and paste the location in there.  You can then drag the dlc folder to your sidebar to create a permanent link.
10. Open Steam, but DO NOT launch Rocksmith.
11. Launch RSInjector, which will automatically launch Rocksmith.
12. Say goodbye to your family, friends, and free time.  You won't be seeing any of them for a while.

 

To convert PC customs to Mac version:

1. Download the latest version of the RSToolkit:  http://www.rscustom.net/builds 
2. Open the Toolkit, and click on the "Converter" tab
3. Source is PC, Target is Mac
4. Click on "Choose DLC To Convert" and navigate to where you downloaded the cDLC to.
5. Click "Open"
6. Wait anywhere from 3-30 seconds for the file to convert.  Generally, if it takes longer than 60 seconds then there is a problem with the custom and it won't convert.  You need to Force Quit the app (press Command + Option + Escape).  If you notify the charter who created the cDLC they will generally help you out by converting it on there end, or updating/fixing their posted version

 

THANKS!!!  new user here, this works perfectly
