Or maybe there is a way to disable the tilting axis? If there is a problem involving tilt, theoretically, when mapping your controls maybe try mapping your buttons at a different tilting angle where it would be at its neutral axis. I'll test it later when I get home if I remember (and if my Xbox 360 wireless adapter still works) to see if that's an issue with Xbox 360 guitar controllers. I have an Xbox 360 RB2 stratocaster but haven't tested it yet.

I wonder how well these are mappable on a recognizable guitar controller if not then use Xpadder or JoyToKey to map the whammy bar.Īt any other inputs for whammying, the whammy will always be down or not working so after trial and error, I managed to figure out how whammy works on a DualShock 2 in Guitar - I only tested with a PS3 GHWT guitar so far where a PS3 guitar controller's tilt axis doesn't work on PC. So for whammy in short in Xpadder, I put the Left Stick X-Axis (Left or Right to Deactivate Whammy) input on my guitar Whammy Bar's Up Axis (resting), and the Left Stick Y-Axis (Up or Down to Activate Whammy) input on my guitar whammy bar's Down Axis (pressed) to get the whammy function to work as it should. Here are the keyboard controls I set in PCSX2 to my PS3 GHWT guitar controller (my PS3 GHTW guitar is not detected in PCSX2 Qt's Controller menu while it does in the regular version of PCSX2) and I'm mapping the keyboard keys on my unrecognized PS3 GHWT guitar controller in the Xpadder mapping software.įunction = DS2 button = My keyboard buttons (you can set it how you like if you are also using an unrecognized guitar controller)ĭeactivate Whammy = Left Stick X-Axis = From WASD, I picked A (Left Axis) and applied it on the Whammy Bar's (Left Thumb Stick) Up Axis that is always on (always green in Xpadder until whammy bar's pressed down)Īctivate Whammy = Left Stick Y-Axis = From WASD, I picked W (Up Axis) and applied it on the Whammy Bar's (Left Thumb Stick) Down Axis (pressing the Whammy Bar triggers the Left Thumb Stick's Down Axis). DualShock 2 will now go into Guitar input mode.Ĭontrols are as deng says but more specifically for whammy, Left Analog Stick's X-Axis (Left or Right) activates the whammy while the Y-Axis (Up or Down) deactivates the whammy. When you start booting Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, hold the Analog Button and D-Pad Left until the first loading screen appears on boot up, then you may release it.

Scroll down to my next three comments for my updated instruction post for PS3 GHWT controls now that they are detected in the latest build of PCSX2 Qt.

Thank you Ignore this experimental instruction post.
