The release of Guitar Hero: On Tour might make homebrew games like Video Game Hero seem obsolete, but this project has two great things going for it:
- Unconventional music tracks like "Eye of the Tiger" and the Inspector Gadget theme (after the post break)
- It's free (provided you have the hardware to run homebrew programs)!

As cool as it is, I gotta say that rendition of Eye of the Tiger just sucks.

Why use midis for this? The average (micro/mini)SD card can easily hold a hundred mp3 formated songs.

If I recall, the guitar hero games use two tracks for the same song, one if they hit the note, and one if they miss. That would halve the song count. Also, many people have other homebrew/music/apps etc. which take up space. I'm going to guess with MIDIs this game is a lot smaller so that more people are able to play it. I'm actually interested in this game (moreso than the stupid 4-button On Tour)

There's also the fact that the DS is very limited when it comes to RAM. It has about 4-5MB, which isn't really enugh to hold graphics, code AND play 2 MP3 tracks, as well as a MIDI for the notes you play, assuming it would work the same as Frets on Fire, which uses an MIDI file with 3-5 tracks to generate the notes on screen

Using midi makes it easier for the game to have the two separate tracks, the background music plus the guitar track your "playing".

I'm excited for when someone makes a homebrew on-tour setup. Despite some peoples' complaints, I think the peripheral is pretty good. The song listing sucks, though.
Someone has to make a a community-expandable 3rd party guitar hero/rock band remake for the DS that uses the peripheral.

You guys think it'll be possible to add new "modded" songs on the DS Guitar Hero like people did for the console Guitar heroes?
I don't really see any reason why they couldn't, and it would be really great.
