Guitar Hero Live controller on PC This is a short tutorial explaining how you can connect a Guitar Hero Live controller to your PC and use it with Clone Hero (or any other software). Important notice: this only works if you have a Xbox 360 dongle for your guitar.
If you have a controller for the Playstation 3, you don't need to buy or download anything. Just remember to set all the keys first.
Driver download: Click here and answer several questions about your system to download the proper driver.
Don't forget to set your key settings in the options first too.
You need to buy a $16 adapter here. It also allows you to use all Xbox360 wireless controllers with Windows XP or Vista. The installation CD that comes with it will have all instructions, and drivers that you need.
As stated before, Don't forget to set your key settings in the options first.
Note: For some reason, on my Les Paul Wireless Controller (the one that comes with the GH3 bundle), you have to reverse the pick and secondary pick. So 'pick' is upward strum, and 'Secondary pick' is downward strum.
There's great documentation for installing the xpad module for your Xbox controller on Linux.
The Ubuntu documentation is pretty solid and it only needs minor tweaks on other distros (tested on Fedora) and can be found here.
Other than the guitar controller, you'll just need a PS2-USB adapter. Note: PS2 to PS3 adapter will also work on a PC. They can be obtained online for $5 to $15 on sites like:
Don't forget to set your key settings in the options first too. If Frets On Fire doesn't recognize all of the controller's buttons, you may also need to install and use JoyToKey.

Nothing extra required, literally plug in and play (after setting the buttons - they are NOT the same as the GH guitar)
Hardware: You need a Wiimote, a Wii guitar, and a bluetooth card for your computer.
Software: GlovePIE, whatever bluetooth software works with your bluetooth adapter, the game (FoF)!
Many laptops come with bluetooth by default, but otherwise you'll need to head to your nearest electronics store to purchase a compatible USB Bluetooth adapter. Realistically any random bluetooth adapter should work fine. You should first try to use the bluetooth software that came with your adapter, but if you have trouble with that you can try BlueSoleil. If for some reason you're concerned about compatibility, this one has been known to work.
Essentially the Wii guitar is just a modified classic controller that uses the Wiimote for the wireless capability, and i think it also does the tilt recognition as well.
Generally there are a few steps to connecting your Wiimote to your computer:
Make sure bluetooth is enabled on your computer
Once your Wiimote is connected to your computer via bluetooth, all you have to do is plug in the guitar (if you haven't already) and run GlovePIE to interface with the Wiimote:
If you don't have a GlovePIE script specifically for the Wii guitar, and you don't want/know how to make one, you can find plenty here that should work fine: GlovePIE- FoF. One that works really well and was made just for this forum can be found rednano12's script. There is also a new script that uses the whammy bar to activate star power with a neat rumble effect Eikon's script. The one i suggest (since you're using at least one or two guitars) is a ways down the page, Two player script using two wiiguitars. I suggest this one even if you have only one wiiguitar at the moment, because it will work perfectly and will continue to work fine when/if you decide to bring in a second wiiguitar.
Yes, you can connect two Wiimotes to your computer even with a cheapo bluetooth adapter. Just follow the steps to connect your wiimote twice in a row.

Interactive sign in process initialization windows 10. Important notice: this only works if you have a Xbox 360 dongle for your guitar. If you don’t have such a dongle, you can try requesting a Xbox 360 dongle by opening a ticket on Activision support.
Step 1: connect the dongle to an USB port of your PC and wait for the automatic recognition/installation process to be completed.
Step2: open the device manager. To open the device manager you can press the Windows key + R, then type “devmgmt.msc” and click OK.
Step3: find the entry called “Guitar Hero”.
Step4: right-click on the entry “Guitar Hero” and select “Update driver”.
Step 5: select the second option “chose manually”.
Step 6: select again the second option “chose from list”.
Step 7: in the list select “Xbox 360 devices” and press next.
Step 8: in the following list select “Xbox 360 controller for Windows” and press next.
Step 9: confirm by clicking Yes.
Step 10: click Close. Done!
Sync the guitar with the receiver dongle: you also have to connect the guitar to the dongle. To do so, press the green sync-button on the dongle and the sync-button of the guitar until they are both blinking and searching for eachother. Wait a few seconds and they will connect.
Note about connection problems: we heard repeatedly about cases where a certain Windows update (version 2004) breaks the driver and the receiver doesn’t work anymore. You can follow the steps of this video to fix it. Follow every step but when you need to copy the hardware ID, copy the whole expression starting from USBvid… and replace the entire USB-expression in the driver files. After having completed the steps in the video, the dongle should be working. However it might happen that the guitar still doesn’t sync. In that case you need to update the driver again (step 2 and onward). Choose again to browse your computer for drivers, uncheck “show compatible hardware” and re-install the original xbox 360 driver as shown above.
Don’t hesitate to contact me if something is unclear. I’d be more than happy to answer you and subsequently improve my tutorial.
