How to setup Nintendo Wii Guitar Hero drums on RPCS3.


NOTES:
- Velocity sensitivity doesn’t seem to work.
- Can be used to play on Pro Drums to an extent but it’s not suggested.
- Gem colors do not match the pads.
- This was tested with a Raphnet “Classic controller to USB adapter”.
- If the controller doesn’t work at all, try installing [Raphnet’s management tool].
- 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].

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.
