How to setup PS3 Guitar Hero drums on RPCS3.
Platform
Controller

NOTES

  • Velocity sensitivity doesn’t seem to work.
  • Gem colors do not match the pads.
  • RPCN Menus (for sending or accepting online invites) may cause a softlock. You may need an alternative input method to navigate these menus, such as [a typing keyboard or a gamepad].

    Click on the Pads icon at the top of RPCS3.

    It’s suggested to create a new configuration by clicking Add Configuration at the top right of the Pads window.
    This is so you can change configuration profiles in case you want to play games that don’t use instruments.

    Follow the instructions and/or match the assignments below.

Mapping

  • Guitar Hero controllers tend to misbehave and refuse to map sometimes. If you try mapping a button and always get “U+” or something similar, click “Filter Noise” at the bottom left of the controller configuration window then try mapping.

Profile

[Download Profile]

    This is not recommended if you're using multiple controllers at once.

    After downloading the profile,

    1. Extract the .7z file.
    2. Drag the input configs folder into the configs folder where you have RPCS3 in.

    After that, you can select the profile in the “Pads” menu.

    Most of the time, these controller profiles should work out of the box. If they don’t, try changing the controller listed in “Devices”, next to the “Refresh” button until it receives an input. You can edit this while the game is running.
