Guitar Hero on Iphone / Itouch

This is for all the guitar hero fanatics out there who cant go without it just like me. This guide will discuss how to transfor the game tab tab into the closest thing to Guiatar hero for the iPhone.

This ARTICLE has been REWRITTEN ON SEPT 18TH as requested.

Your Iphone / Touch will have to be jailbroken and running 2.X firmware we're doing it on a 2.1 phone.

You will need SSH also installed on your iphone or touch. View our Guide

Step 1.

Goto the app store on your phone and install 'tab tab revenge' or use iTunes to install it.

Step 2.

Download Guitar Hero Tap Tap Version from here and extract it to your desktop.

Step 3.

Connect to your device, there are various ways of doing this weather you are using a mac or a windows pc or linux. We are using windows over usb method since its 5 times quicker then over wifi.

Use our guide here if you are using windows like we are.

Step 4.

After you are connected you have 2 windows one on the left and one on the right. On the right browse to /private/var/mobile/Applications
here you will have random characters divided by 4 dashes such as XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX You will need to click though each of them to find the one that contains Tap Tap.app folder inside it. On the left window browse to where you extracted GH3.zip on your desktop.



Ok here we are going to copy 4 sets of files.

1 - Select & Copy all the files from the folder called (these files must be placed in Tap Tap.app) on the left to the Tap Tap.app folder on the right(on the iphone)



you will get prompted to overwrite the files



click yes to all for all 4 steps

2. Select & Copy all the files from the folder called (These files must be placed in Aweso.ttrTheme) on the left to the Aweso.ttrTheme folder on the right(on the iphone)



3. Select & Copy all the files from the folder called (These files must be placed in Taps) on the left to the "Tap Tab.app/Tracks/Taps" folder on the right



4. Select & Copy all the files from the folder called (These files must be placed in Music) on the left to the "Tap Tab.app/Tracks/Music" folder on the right


Reboot the phone

Enjoy the game.

   Blogger iphone3g-mods -

Will you be doing a Mac tutorial for this? I'm using a Mac and using Fugu to connect to my iPhone and I'm not sure what to do about step 5. I've changed the permissions to 777 and it still crashes on start up.

you need to set it to inherit with the checkmarks otherwise only the folder changes permissions not the files inside 
 
     
     
   Blogger iphone3g-mods - 

what version of firmware are you running, we are using 2.1 for the tutorial but are noticing the same error on 2.0.2 as you are will keep you updated 
 
     
     
   Blogger Wiki Admin - 

Yeah, I've followed these instructions to a "T" (many times) and it doesn't work. The app launches, I see the splash screen, and then it quits. Very frustrating. All of my other apps (from the App store, or Cydia, or otherwise) work just fine.

An updated tutorial on how to get this going on a 3G iPhone running OS 1.2 and Tap Tap Revenge 1.2 would be great.

Thanks!

i've followed your steps exactly 3x and first screen loads and then crashes back to springboard... im using latest firmware 2.1

Btw the zip that downloads only has the one folder in it tap tap app and the steps with 4 copies being done is not possible with the zip that i downloaded

Everything works, thanks for the rewrite to the guide and repackage of the new .rar file.

Is there a site where I can get more songs by the real artists? 
 
     
     
   Blogger iphone3g-mods - 

glad its working for you.. you can download more songs via tap tap download files section in the game, im sure more songs will start showing up soon from gh3 
 
     
     
   Blogger Josh - 

I did it all over again, following the updated tutorial, with the new RAR file... and this time it works. Thanks very much!

One note: one of the downloaded folders is called "(These files must be placed in Tabs)" and it should be "Taps." This might confuse folks.

I'm interested now in finding more songs from commercial artists, if anyone can share links. The built-in download function seems to only offer freeware (ie: unrecognized) music, and this game is much more fun with songs I actually have heard before.
