"Acti explains Guitar Hero, True Crime cul". Eurogamer . Retrieved 2011-02-09. There are three titles in the series: Guitar Hero: On Tour, Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades, and Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits. Each game features a setlist with more than 25 songs, most based on master recordings. The games utilize the DS's local wireless features to allow two players to compete against each other. Players can compete using different versions of the games, allowing the songs of each game to be shared during play. The songs chosen in the setlists of all three games have significantly less objectionable content than the ones in mainstream console Guitar Hero titles, making the On Tour series the first and only games in the series to be rated Everyone 10+ by the ESRB.

They required a peripheral called the Guitar Grip, which features four buttons ( G R Y B) for each finger. This special peripheral is only compatible on the original Nintendo DS (with an extended port) and Nintendo DS Lite models. I must admit that the only compression formats I know are those implemented in DSDecmp(*), for which I got most of the information from GBATEK.
