GH controller with V2?

DJ SCHNOO · 11-21-2006, 11:21 PM

anyone try it yet? can buttons be mapped appropriately?
how reliable is the pick for harder songs?

thanks!
(not sure if I should be GF or GH controller still, this infor will help)

i believe you can remap to buttons to what everyou want just like in MPS so the only problem with the GH controller is the song wheel may drift so i would just plug in a dual shock to select a song and plug in the GH while its loading

what I usually do is go to the song options menu when I choose a song and plug in the GH controller there.

GRY, RYB, and YBO are all good layouts since they are all right next to each other. I'd prefer RYB or YBO since they're closer to the strum bar.

I have trouble with GH controller on V2. Whenever there's a fast strumming section coming up, I get alot of misses. It's almost as if the controller stops functioning whenever I start strumming really fast. That's the best I can explain it... It's weird because I don't seem to have this problem when I play Masterpiece Silver. Does V2 have a tighter judgement system or something?

Is your controller modified to work with Guitarfreaks, or is it just a stock version? And which model of guitar are you using? I'm having the same problem, but I had assumed it was because my guitar was hardwired to have both switches hit up. If that isn't the case then I think I've found myself in a bit of a pickle. :/

No, my Guitar Hero controller isn't modded. I believe it's the SG model.

Does anyone have this problem with the Guitar Freaks controller?

They are all SG...unless they are the TAC controllers.

Perhaps he meant what generation of SG?

I personally own an original SG that came with GH 1 and the new Cherry SG that came with GH 2.

There is also another model type of the original SG floating around as well. They are all a little different. Check the back of your SG for the model type.

Okay, the back of the guitar says "Model PSLGH". If it helps, the color of the guitar is black and white. It's made by Redoctane.

Is the model information on a sticker or is it molded?

DZX · 12-04-2006, 03:04 PM

It's molded, no sticker.

Alex · 12-04-2006, 03:55 PM

Then that's a model 1, launch. Same kind I've been using.

i have the black and white SG with a sticker on the back and it does the same shit in guitarfreaks. kind of hard to explain the exact symptoms, but you really can't get away with strumming up and down and your timing has to be SPOT on. sections with a bulk of notes are almost guaranteed misses.

These quotes are from the "PS2 GuitarFreaksV2 & DrumManiaV2" topic.

The problems seem related. I hope someone can figure this out.

I would still like to know 2 things.
1. Does anyone NOT have this problem with the GH controller?
2. Does anyone have this problem with the official Guitar Freaks controller? (I'm thinking about getting one)
