Playing Halo 2 Theme on Guitar Hero II (PS2) — Custom Songs via Modded PS2

The Halo 2 theme (Mjolnir Mix / Opening Suite) is not on the official Guitar Hero II disc. To play it, you need custom songs (customs) on a modified PS2.

Requirements

• Modded PS2: FreeMCBoot (FMCB) memory card exploit (works on all fat/slim models).
• Guitar Hero II Disc (or ISO on HDD/USB via OPL).
• Custom Song Tools: GH2 Custom Tool (PC) to inject .chart + .ogg files into game data.
• Chart File: Download community-made Halo 2 Theme chart from ScoreHero, CustomsForge, or GHMods.

Process Overview

1. Install FMCB on Memory Card.
2. Rip GH2 disc to ISO (ImgBurn) or use OPL to play from HDD.
3. Use GH2 Custom Tool on PC: Load ISO → Import chart/ogg → Rebuild ISO.
4. Play rebuilt ISO via OPL (HDD/USB/SMB) or burn to DVD-R (ESR homebrew).

Alternative: Clone Hero (PC)

Much easier: Install Clone Hero (free, open-source GH clone). Drag-and-drop .chart/.mid + audio. Supports PS3/360/Wii guitars via adapter. Best experience.

Note: Steve Vai did not record the GH2 version; the Halo 2 theme is by Martin O'Donnell / Michael Salvatori. GH2's "Jordan" (Buckethead) is the famous virtuoso track.
