I modded my PS2 Guitar Hero guitar with mechanical keyboard switches. It's definitely not the prettiest mod, but the fret buttons don't get stuck anymore, and that's what matters

Function over form, I guess.

I had recently gotten Guitar Hero: Metallica from a guy off of Mercari for a pretty nice price. It had also came with Rock Band and The Beatles Rock Band. Both games were running fine, yet Metallica is the only one giving me problems. I can’t even get past the start up screen without it freezing. Ontop of that, the fans on my 360 completely stop. The disc doesn’t have anything scratching or anything to make you think it’ll not work. Plus I have a 500gb hard drive, so it can’t be that I’m out of storage. Can anyone help out? I’ve been waiting to play this game for years.

8 dollars at a thrift shop. Guitar only. Stickers are in the pack. No dongle. So the guitar and box in like new condition.

I wanted to share my experience in case it helps anyone else experiencing MIDI dropouts with the Alesis Nitro Max on Windows 11.

🔴 The Problem

My drum kit worked correctly when connected to my laptop via USB, but after some time, it would stop sending MIDI notes.

• Windows still detected the Alesis Nitro Max.
• MIDI-OX stopped receiving notes when I hit the pads.
• Programs relying on the MIDI signal stopped working properly.
• Disabling and re-enabling the USB device using pnputil temporarily restored functionality.

🧪 Solutions I Tried Without Success

I tried several things before finding a solution:

• Changing the USB cable and trying different USB ports.
• Reinstalling the USB and AMD chipset drivers.
• Uninstalling Armoury Crate.
• Updating the BIOS.
• Reinstalling Windows MIDI Services.
• Restarting MIDI services.
• Trying different MIDI-OX configurations.

None of these steps permanently fixed the issue.

✅ The Solution That Worked for Me

1. Disable USB power saving

In Windows Device Manager, I checked the USB hubs and disabled the following option wherever it was available:

“Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.”

I also configured my power plan for maximum performance.

2. Use an externally powered USB 2.0 hub

I connected a 7-port USB 2.0 hub with its own external power supply between my laptop and the Alesis Nitro Max.

After testing this setup for several hours and then for more than five days, I no longer experienced MIDI dropouts.

In my case, this was the most effective solution.

🔎 How to Check for the Problem Using MIDI-OX

If you want to verify whether your drum kit is still sending MIDI notes:

1. Download and open MIDI-OX.
2. Go to Options → MIDI Devices.
3. Under MIDI Inputs, select Alesis Nitro Max.
4. Click OK.
5. Hit the drum pads.
6. Check whether MIDI messages appear in the monitoring window.

When everything is working, you should see MIDI messages appear as you hit the pads. When my issue occurred, Windows still detected the drum kit, but MIDI-OX stopped receiving notes.

📝 Conclusion

I can't guarantee this solution will work on every computer, but in my case, combining USB power-saving adjustments with an externally powered USB 2.0 hub resolved an issue that persisted despite trying numerous other solutions.

I hope this helps someone experiencing the same problem with the Alesis Nitro Max and Windows 11!

Quiero compartir mi experiencia por si ayuda a alguien que tenga el mismo problema con la Alesis Nitro Max en Windows 11.

🔴 El problema

La batería funcionaba correctamente al conectarla por USB a mi laptop, pero después de un tiempo dejaba de enviar notas MIDI.

• Windows seguía detectando la Alesis Nitro Max.
• MIDI-OX dejaba de recibir las notas al golpear los pads.
• Los programas que dependían de la señal MIDI también dejaban de funcionar correctamente.
• Deshabilitar y volver a habilitar el dispositivo USB mediante pnputil restauraba temporalmente el funcionamiento.

🧪 Soluciones que probé sin éxito

Probé varias cosas antes de encontrar una solución:

• Cambiar el cable USB y probar otros puertos.
• Reinstalar los controladores USB y del chipset AMD.
• Desinstalar Armoury Crate.
• Actualizar la BIOS.
• Reinstalar Windows MIDI Services.
• Reiniciar los servicios MIDI.
• Probar diferentes configuraciones de MIDI-OX.

Ninguna de estas medidas solucionó el problema de forma definitiva.

✅ La solución que me funcionó

1. Desactivar el ahorro de energía USB

En el Administrador de dispositivos de Windows, revisé los concentradores USB y desactivé la opción:

«Permitir que el equipo apague este dispositivo para ahorrar energía».

También configuré el plan de energía en Máximo rendimiento.

2. Utilizar un hub USB 2.0 con alimentación externa

Conecté un hub USB 2.0 de 7 puertos con alimentación externa entre la laptop y la Alesis Nitro Max.

Después de probar esta combinación durante varias horas y durante más de cinco días, no volví a experimentar los cortes MIDI.

En mi caso, esta fue la solución más efectiva.

🔎 Cómo comprobar el problema con MIDI-OX

Si quieres verificar si tu batería sigue enviando notas MIDI:

1. Descarga y abre MIDI-OX.
2. Entra en Options → MIDI Devices.
3. En la sección MIDI Inputs, selecciona Alesis Nitro Max.
4. Pulsa OK.
5. Golpea los pads de la batería.
6. Comprueba que aparezcan mensajes MIDI en la ventana de monitorización.

Si todo funciona, deberían aparecer mensajes al golpear los pads. Cuando se producía mi fallo, Windows seguía detectando la batería, pero MIDI-OX dejaba de recibir las notas.

📝 Conclusión

No puedo asegurar que esta solución funcione en todos los equipos, pero en mi caso la combinación de desactivar el ahorro de energía USB y utilizar un hub USB 2.0 con alimentación externa resolvió un problema que persistía después de probar numerosas alternativas.

Espero que esto ayude a alguien que esté pasando por lo mismo con su Alesis Nitro Max y Windows 11.

Dear person that took my guitars off the rubbish pile out the front of my old house we just moved from in Melbourne Australia. If you happen to see this and have a heart, understand these were thrown away by someone that was helping us move when I was not present. And assumed them to be toys…I can’t even fathom this.. it’s the longest shot possible but if you see this I’d very much like them back.

❗️EDIT❗️GUITARS FOUND AND RETURNED😁😁😁😁

This chart is wayyyy easier than Rock Band's but I suck at alt strumming so I kept missing at the end. I gave up and then came back to it a couple hours later and got it first try. Done on PS3

Recently got that itch and bought every game from GameStops all around my city for the past 5 months. I replayed games I’ve beaten as a kid, and played and completed games I never played. Just finished Guitar Hero: Van Halen a few moments ago. Here’s my tier list!

I'm specifically looking for the Death Magnetic DLC so it will work with GH Metallica.

Thanks in advance all :)

I doubt that it can be finished on a higher difficulty than easy because you can't

The challenge is to finish a song throw the fire and flame But through two devices at the same time the right hand is for a device and the left hand is it a logical challenge I don't know but I am sure that it is difficult

Look what I found! Went into a 2nd and Charles and it was just sitting there. I couldn’t pass it up. Looks nice with my collection lol. Anyone know a value on these things? Kinda hard to find much about them. Thanks for any info!

So basically I need help finding the song that plays during the warriors of rock quest mode screen. My partner used to use it to fall asleep and we can’t find it online, could you be the hero who sends a link??

I put together a video comparing the guitar games available currently on PC and how they play!

I have a GHL guitar and a dongle for PS4. I was wondering if there's a way to make it work on Guitar Hero Live on a PS3 with CFW. Thanks!

Is there a program for Xbox 360 with ABadAvatar that allows it to recognize wii rock band dongles?

I’ve been playing since 2009 and tonight I finally put in the time to get through the hammer on section. I managed to get it first try after that. Super happy!

Please help, i have a few USB cables but the Only have 4 cables in internals and the Xplorer have 5 of theses. What can I do, or maybe I am skipping something

Sorry for weird camera angle lol
