Makeing a Guitar Hero controller

**cletus_the_Red** · 05-10-2006,06:01 PM

I would like to make a Guitar Hero controller, because i do not have one, and there are no stores with that controller near me. Any suggestions on how to make a normal controller into a guitar ? i know what buttons are used but the game is just to hard for the controller after medium.

It is much easier just to buy it online or in a store, the Game and the Controller as the rock meter you have to move the guitar a.k.a. motion detection. If you already have the game and 1 controller, sell the extra game.

First third party Guitar Hero controller, released recently.

At E3 the developer of Guitar Hero said "no comment" with a smile when asked whether or not there would be a new Guitar Hero controller coming out with the release of the second game, so you may want to wait. It won't have anything new except for a design, though.

I'd just get the standard or third party one. Just buy it online. Like Breath of Fire said, the motion detection would make it impossible to create on your own(you tilt the guitar upward and it senses it to put you in "special" mode). Red Octane should have some official guitars on their site, too.

There's a guide on tearing apart a Guitar Hero guitar and a wireless controller to make the guitar wireless..but it's another $20 or so. Kind of lame, I'd just wait and see if the new guitar is wireless ..unless you absolutely need it now.

um, I know that hitting select does the same thing as tilting the guitar...so it is possible. Also you can play the game with a controller, but not as fun. I was actually going to setup one of my custom Arcade sticks to use with Guitar Hero as a second controller. Plays more like Beatmania
