Wireless guitar for 360 GH2?

KissMyWookie · Post by **KissMyWookie** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 4:01 pm

Does anyone know how hard it'd be to combine a wireless controller with the guitar for the xbox 360? I love GH2, but the cord can get in the way passing the guitar around during parties.

Wookie Lover,

I dont know for sure how a guitar hero controller works but I would think it isn't much different then a street fighter arcade controller. Here are two articles showing how to solder in a 360 controller PCB into an arcade contoller.

The concept for installing a 360 controller PCB should be the same for the guitar... but since I have never seen one or opened one I can't tell you if it would work. I hope this helps you or gives you ideas for doing this yourself. Good luck.

That's for the PS3 though...

Hang on a sec... The xbox controllers all use USB right? Wouldn't it be possible to rip the transmitter out of a keyboard or mouse and just stick the receiver into the USB port?

No. But a 360 controller works with guitar hero. YOu could wire the buttons to the inside of a guitar. (it's easier to)

As far as I can tell though, there's no button on the controller for the whammy bar

I guess I gotta wait for Microshaft to release the goods :'(

analog stick?

I connected the guitar to my pc. It worked. (i already had 360 controller drivers) and I think the wammy was the z accis. I think the 360 controller has that as either one of the analogs ore l or r buttons.

edit: it's the analog. Now is their a way to deploy star power with the 360 controllr?

Ya I was just about to edit actually.
Altough I see no way of actually how do you calll that thing that you push down. In the manual. for the controller

edit: I thought of a way for the strim to work. Connect the buttons and the strim to NAND-GATES! when strim and button are pushed. gate goes low. Pulling down the corosponding button on the controller.

Any idea on how do do that? I can work out simple stuff like buttons and switches but anything beyond that confuses me
