How to setup PC Guitar Hero World Tour guitars on RPCS3.

NOTES

  • NOT A RECOMMENDED CONTROLLER but kept in this list since it’s unlikely many people will have this and since not much documentation exists on this controller.
  • Whammy doesn’t work, which means a crucial gameplay element doesn’t work.
  • Tilt is busted on this controller!
  • 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.

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.
