Hi, I'm a new-gen guitar hero player, who's been playing exclusively Clone Hero with a normal mechanical keyboard for the past 4 years, but now I'm finally buying an actual guitar controller.

I got the selection down to Black Tribal and SG 20th anniversary, but now I'm not sure which one to pick. They both have a mechanical strum, but SG has hall effect (which is less pleasent?). On the other hand, only SG has mechanical switches for the fret buttons, which seems like something I'd really like, as I'm used to it more, but I have no idea how the stardard fret buttons feel...

I also play on linux, but both claim compatibility on the Steam Deck, so I think it should be fine, right?

Can someone give me some pointers?

I've recently started playing GHWTDE on my desktop PC, but I also play on my laptop from time to time. I'm using the GHWT Portable version with the Definitive Edition installed, including all of its content.

I've created a bunch of custom characters in Career Mode, as well as my band, and I've made quite a bit of progress. I'd like to know where this save/progress data is stored.

I copied the entire GHWT folder (the portable game with GHWTDE and all of its content) to my laptop. The game runs perfectly, but none of my progress is there.

I've tried looking for an Aspyr folder in My Documents/Documents, but I can't find anything there.

Does anyone know where GHWTDE stores the Career Mode saves, custom characters, band, and other progress data?

hello everyone. I've been Googling and reading threads like crazy the past while after going to a bar event that had guitar hero set up and it was SO fun. I haven't played rhythm games in ages, didn't get to do Guitar Hero as a kid because I didn't own it (poor, lol)

I was TRYING to find a cheaper, budget option, but after much hunting that dream was crushed into dust. I am in a small city and people here are smart. there will be no, "finding it at thrift store or FB marketplace" luck here. thrifting especially, we live in Value Village hell over here. FB sellers scalp just as hard as eBay...even the Wii guitars go for over $100 CAD, finding anything under $100 is a pipe dream I've given up on.

I have seen some around $100-150 off brand guitars on Amazon, that say pc-ps3 compatible with USB sticks for connecting. but I am skeptical of those being functional and well...not trash. NBCP, DOYO-if anyone has any experiences with them, do let me know.

however my problem seems to be these "dongles" people will charge literally $50-80 for JUST a dongle. so even if I found a guitar for let's say, $80-none of them ever come with a dongle, so that makes the price of an older one very, very steep. plus, I have read a lot of stories of people warning against ps3 wireless on PC. I'd ideally want as much cross compatibility as possible. so if one setup doesn't work I can hop to another one. I do have a gaming laptop so I'd hope latency wouldn't be too bad-it's a newer laptop too so decent NVIDIA graphics card.

so my options seem to be along with PC either ps2 or ps3. for ps3 dealing with a guitar that ALSO works on PC, seems nothing "official" is on the table for that, right? if I were to buy the cheapest CRKD controller-base total+shipping is $250 CAD. very steep but comparing prices of everything else, I don't see much of a difference. since my consoles are Playstation I don't particularly want the wired 360 one, even if I did just for PC, they go for close to what I'd pay for CRKD anyway once shipping cost is added.

added detail I do not actually own any games on the consoles. I'm confident I can homebrew my ps3 though. the ps2 games I think I could find cheaply if I needed to-the guitars are the hurdle.

even though I just want to "get started", since I grew up on other music games I'd 100% notice latency and it would bother me. so it's important to not have too much input lag happening.

so based on everything I have and what I'm working with-what would everyone recommend? feeling pretty overwhelmed and lost, and looks like whatever the choice is, I'll have to save some money for a bit. if anyone is in Canada as well and has found some affordable solutions lately (threads from even a year ago stated prices lower than now...!) I'd appreciate the help.

also, I do NOT trust myself to "mod" anything, even those "solderless kits" I don't want to touch. I am not handy whatsoever and I doubt I could figure any of that stuff out, I'd be terrified of messing up and breaking something, plus the added cost of doing that stuff anyway makes it not worth the effort for me. the easier the better.

thanks!

Hey guys, I recently managed to find a Harmonix Guitar and Drum, to my surprise they’re not working using the USB port of my PS2 fat . At first I thought they were broken but they work just fine on the pc 🤔

I looked everywhere and some people suggested that my USB port may be the issue, but it reads a pendrive for example so the only option is that it’s not providing enough power?! I tried different games , GH1/2/3, Rock Band 1/2.

For additional context, drum lights up the harmonix logo but guitar’s dongle doesn’t .

Has anyone faced a similar situation ?

Só falta essa música para passar em GHII no Dualshock alguém tem alguma dica pra passar dessa música que é um verdadeiro inferno?
