Can anybody confirm if the 1st generation black SG's (PS2) work with GH3 and RB on PS2?

So... if my black SG works with GH2 it should also work with Gh3 and RB? I have GH1 and GH2, and it works fine with both. I guess I have the 2nd gen one, thanks.

I downloaded the drivers for the xbox 360 xplorer controller, but only the red, blue, whammy, start, and up strum work. The rest of the buttons do not register, is it most likely possible that my guitar is faulty?

I can confirm Rock Guitar II working in Rock Band.

Updated: PS2 guitars CAN be used on Xbox 360 using this adapter.

UPDATE: Added a universal adapter for XBox360, rewrote the introduction, posted a note about loading GH3: Do Not use the keyboard to skip the intro vids. If you use the keyboard, it will default as the primary controller. You must skip the intro vids by pressing the green button, otherwise you'll have to restart the program. Also added this plea at the beginning:

MODERATORS: PLEASE STICKY THIS!

EDIT: Yikes! just realized I triple posted! Sorry 'bout that

As per the OP: It works on PS3 with a PS2->PS3 converter, but you can only use it to play PS2 games with backward compatibility. You can't use the Kramer to play GH3 for PS3.

As for your giant note on the bottom of the first post. If you are using Joy To Key, and or Glovepie, you MUST skip the previews, and everything with the keyboard. It has to think that it is a keyboard when using those programs.

I've read and re-read the original post but I still have a few, probably dumb questions.

I have a PS2 with all the guitar hero games. I would like to play custom songs but I'd rather not chip my PS2. I got GH3 for PC and tried installing custom songs, worked great. Then I got a PS2 to USB adapter which worked not so great, and I also realized I couldn't play multi player that way which is a must for me.

So, I'd like to play Guitar Hero custom songs and don't want to spend more than I absolutely have to. The cheapest solution looks like getting 2 wired XBOX controllers. I read that they were the exact same as the PC controller. But I also read somewhere you need an adapter to use the wired XBOX guitars on a PC. I don't have a wireless XBOX to PC reciever so that's also going to be a bit extra if I have to go wireless.

So yea, sorry for the incoherent post but what should I do? I have GH3 for PC but guitars only for PS2. The cheapest guitars I've found that sems like they should work are the wired, white XBOX 360 guitars that came bundled with GH2 for XBOX

I'm want to use the PS3 Les Paul for Guitar Hero 3 on PC but how do I reset the game since I accidently used the keyboard already? And also, how do I make my PC detect the dongle? I can connect everything just fine but it doesn't show up on the PC. Thanks!
