The songs take midi files for the chart but they’re obviously encrypted for use on the PSP. The way that these songs were referenced interested me. This includes a number of Green Day songs (boulevard = Boulevard of Broken Dreams, brainstew = Brain Stew, american = American Idiot, Whatsername) and some Rock Band 1 songs (ballroomblitz = Ballroom Blitz, entersandman = Enter Sandman)

There are also a number of songs referenced within strings of text contained within the game’s chart files (.str files) which do not appear in any version of the game. Upon digging around in the files and looking at the setlist in game, there appears to be a massive amount of songs that don’t appear in the final game, including Almost Easy (A7X), Panic Attack (Dream Theater) and a few other early versions of final charts. I was recently given access to the alpha build of the game from late 2008, back before the game was called Rock Band Unplugged and was just called Rock Band 2. Recently found Rock Band Unplugged again and have been playing it on emulator.
