How to Play Custom Songs on a Mac!
This Guide will cover how to PLAY custom songs in Guitar Hero 3 for the Mac.
I have a Mac and very much enjoy playing GH3 on it. I have recently gotten into scorehero (I am listed under the 'PC' section) and I just found out about custom songs. I have developed a way to place custom songs on a Mac.
Here is an amazing Youtube Video describing the process in great detail
Credits go to terminator for making this video. Thanks!
If you have Pararelles, Look here
Firstly, you need one of these items: A PC, BootCamp, or Parallels. The PC does not need to able to run guitar hero, only be able to install the game . The same is true for your Parallels or boot camp installation. Once you have a way to run windows, and have installed Guitar Hero 3 on the system, followthis guide as if you were going to make a custom song for a pc.
As you are putting in your custom song(s). Be sure to write down this:
After you have created a custom song on your PC, grab a USB stick.
Run This Program.
Then, relaunch the Extractor.bat and do this:
Type in the Short name of the song. The one that shows up in songlist editor, not the name that shows up in game! .
A bunch of files will now have been copied to your desktop.
Put those files on your USB stick. Then, take the USB stick, plug it into the mac and copy those files into the following locations on your mac:
Qb Files = /Data/PAK
songname.fsb.xen + songname.dat.xen = /Data/MUSIC/
songname_song.pak.xen = /Data/SONGS/
Tip: If you are going to use this method in conjunction with my Songlist Switcher, or are going to add more than 10 songs, I find that there are too many song files to pick out individually.
Therefore, I follow these steps:
Copy the Whole DATAMUSIC Folder to the desktop of your PC. Copy the whole DATASONGS folder to the desktop. Also copy the qb.pak and qb.pab files. Then burn a data DVD with these files on them. Insert the DVD into your mac, and REPLACE the old MUSIC and SONGS folder in the Guitar Hero Data folder on your mac.
Tip: backup you save file, which on a Mac is found under /users/yournamehere/documents/ Copy the 'Aspyr' Folder to you desktop as guitar hero 3 will delete the save on launch stating that it is faulty.
Tip: Bootcamp users can simply look at the other partition, find GH3 and copy the qb.pab.xen, qb.pak.xen and SONGS + MUSIC folders over.
If anyone has anything to add, please feel free to post it here.

NOTE: I find that parallels works the best, as it allows you to run both Mac and Windows at the same time, which when working something like this is helpful, as don't have to reboot to switch between operating systems.
In case you don't know what parallels is, Here:
http://www.parallels.com/
NOTE: This is a commercial program, being sold for $80. I am not trying to advertise the program, I am simply recommending it.

Is there any way to go around the Windows or PC part? I think the computer companies and Aspyr are already making enough money from me as is. It's only playable on an Intel Mac or PC, and plus the game itself...

Personally I think that a mac (or anything apple) is quite literally the opposite of anything custom. The basic fact that you need to run windows on a mac to do what you don’t normally do proves it, because you don’t need to run OSX on a pc to do anything. And if you try to customize apple-ware, it turns into a brick *cough*iphone*cough* ;).
As for GH3, since I’m developing in C# my program can be modified slightly to run using mono (a multiplatform .NET engine) on a mac.

I know what you mean, but is there a way to take away the Windows XP or Vista part out altogether, and just make custom songs on a Mac? Without having to buy Windows XP Home or Windows Vista (they're expensive)....

Just wait for my program to be released and than download mono (it's free). Tom's editor is extremely unstable so don't overload it.

The reason you have to use a PC to create custom songs for a Mac is because there is no program currently available to make customs on a Mac. That being said, MaXKilleR is developing one so this won't last for long. My point is is that it has nothing to do with the Mac being opposed to custom. And Yes, the iPhone has an SDK out now. Which means you can write apps for it. And they are now oh so easy to unlock, which pretty much kills the whole 'iPhones aren't customizable' whine. Because its not true. They are.

That sounds awesome – it'd be great to have a stable, mac-native solution! Thanks for all your help!
