Walkthrough: Playing GH3 PC with PS2 Guitar

**Ahira** · Joined: 07 Mar 2010 Posts: 1

Hey guys here's the deal:

Me and my friend got a ps2 -> usb converter.
We hooked up 2 ps2 SG controllers (aerosmith)
Mapped the keys for gh3 with joy2key

It works fine in single player mode except the whammy but thats a different issue.

We want to be able to play multiplayer with our 2 controllers our ps2 -> usb converter has 2 controller slots and the pc recognises 2 controllers.

I've tried mapping the 2nd controller under joystic 2 in joy2key and the result was that the game recognised both controllers as "player one".

Then i tried mapping them seperately result was that only 1/2 controllers worked.

Been searching the web for quite a while but couldnt find any help for this problem at all.

Also multiplayer works with the usb converter when playing on a ps2 emulator (Dragon ball Z budokai tenkaichi 3) with dualshoc controllers so i dont think the converter is the problem.

And even though gh3 supoorts multiplayer mode why is it that u can only set controls for one keyboard?

any suggestions?

[edit] Hopefully fixed, so feel free to disregard this.

I am having some problems getting this to work at all (I don't care about whammy or tilt-activating, just having it work on a song). I usually get one of two problems:

-If both joytokey is running and the controller is plugged in before I load the game, the red button is mapped to green and the start (I think) button is mapped to red. None of the keys on my keyboard do anything.
-If I start the game, then plug in the guitar and run joytokey, the game will not register anything from the guitar.

And for fun, another problem (this time when using PS3 GHWT guitar):
-The guitar works perfectly in the menus, but when I start a song/go to the cheats menu, green is mapped to orange and blue (?) is mapped to red. (That's the same problem as when you use a TAC adapter set to RB on GH3)

-Windows 7
-Patched to 1.3
-Using GH3Boost and GHTCP
-Using joytokey (mappings are exactly the same as they are in the OP)

Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, so I've gone and got this PS2 to USB converter off Ebay for $5. Can't remember the name now. I plug it in and I go into the Control Panel and mash the buttons; it all works. I map it with JoyToKey, and then open Guitar Hero 3. Nothing works? Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks

Okay, it doesn't work in the address bar. I guess I didn't map it properly or something, because I'm a bit of a noob to this. But it DOES work in Frets On Fire, which is a bit odd to me.

I'd prefer to try and get mine working first before I buy anything else.

Hi all,
hope someone can help me

I bought this guitar: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Guitar-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B001NTBWK4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296843519&sr=8-1

It has a standalone usb>>bluetooth stack.

i connect it on win7prof64bit and start gh3.
t works without mapping tool in GH3. Green and Red are working in the menu. But if I’m starting a game or the tutorial, green is orange and orange is red. the other buttons are nothin. don't know what todo

Tested your config. Nothing happened. Don’t know how to use JoytoKey. It found 5 Controller.I set for the first 5 controller Button1-7 the numbers 1-7. same in gh3. nothing happens.

has someone a config for me or a howto how to use it?
thanks

//Edit: Found xpadder. Buttons were found. Mapped in with 1-5 and are working, configured in gh3 but nothing happens?

//Edit2: Seen that under WIndows the buttons are working, but GH 3 with latest Patch 1.31 overwrites it??

Heyy everyone

I have a black SG and a PS2 to USB converter. I mapped the keys with xpadder and all the buttons and whammy work. My problem is that in GH3PC there is a delay between me strumming and the game receiving the strum, ie I strum on time and it hits really late. I can't just do lag calibration because the buttons seem to be hitting normally. I have tried with xpadder and joy2key and it's still the same, when I play other games like fofix and jamlegend I do not have this problem so I can only assume it is a problem with GH3PC, any help would be great :P

I need some help here please...

I have this adapter http://www.gamezone.no/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_88_98&products_id=31163
(sorry that the site is in norwegian lol)

But I can't changer to analog mode or set direction buttons mode to auto...

I'm not sure if it's because I don't have the newest drivers though
Does this mean I won't get the whammy to work ever?
