The dongle must be the matching one for the guitar controller. Plug the wireless guitar dongle into the USB port on the PS3. Turn the guitar controller power switch to the “On” position on the back. Why won’t my Guitar Hero guitar connect to my PS3?Ī guitar connection issue may occur if the batteries are nearly drained. Haven’t tried it myself, but thats what it claims on the website. Supposedly if you find a Wii dongle (they’re fairly cheap on eBay), you can then get the Rolllimitless guitar adapter and it’ll work on the PS3.
How to connect ps2 guitar hero controller mod#
The first step will be to mod the guitar - in this example we'll be using a Guitar Hero III Les Paul for Xbox 360.Yup every guitar needs a dongle.
Various screws, fasteners and wood glue.Īll right let's get this party started. Several drill bits, large enough to cut holes and countersinks for the dowels and springs. Soldering iron, solder, extra bits of wire. Some wood/plastic/etc to build the pedal out of: Be creative, use whatever is handy and/or cheap! I'll be using small wood planks and song tag board from Ace Hardware in this example. I'm just going to be using a piece of 4x10" metal from the little "Build with Metal" kiosk at the hardware store. A curved piece of something for the clicker pedal: Not very specific, I know. I'm using a 1/2" inner diameter PVC pipe and 1/2" outer diameter wooden dowel. There's plenty of ways to make the pedal rotate, this is mine. A bit of PVC pipe and a dowel: This is used to make the axis of the pedal. Before you go and pull apart a bunch of pens I'd suggest instead just buying some springs from the local hardware store. A couple of springs: A smaller one for the strum clicker, and a beefier one for the whammy pedal. Really any sort of wire bundle/ribbon cable, anything with 6+ wires will work. Good candidates include: old PS1/PS2 controllers, old Genesis controllers, VGA cables. You'll need to find one with at least 6 wires inside as that's what we'll need. 
An old controller cable of some sort: This will connect between the guitar and pedal. When wiring these types of switches, use the NO and CO connections, as shown above. But really, any kind of momentary pushbutton switch will work, hell, even a doorbell ringer. I personally mod all of my fake guitars with these right out of the box. I'd suggest snap action switched / limit lever switches (they go by many names) as then are easy to mount and have a very postive "click" when activated. If you're using a Guitar Hero axe you can probably use the switches found inside, however Rock Band axes use several different methods for the strummer and thus you'll probably need new switches. 
I think at some point in the future there will be so many plastic guitar games that Best Buys will actually be constructed OUT OF the piles of them. Last time I was at Best Buy they were still trying to unload all their GHIII stuff, guitars were piled everywhere, and the markdowns were considerable. You can use pretty much any kind you wish that is compatible with your game system. Unlike the great Game Guitar Shortage of Ought Seven these are pretty easy to find.
I guess the brain just isn't wired that way. The first time I built one of these I tried a separate pedal for the whammy bar, but it was actually harder to use.
Down strum - Click down with your foot. As seen in the highly technical drawing above, we're going to replicate 3 functions of the guitar onto the foot pedal in this project, specifically:
