Xbox 360 Rock Band Guitars

How to setup Xbox 360 Rock Band guitars on RPCS3.

NOTES

Rock Band 1 guitars can be connected via USB but Guitars for Rock Band 2 (and later) require an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows to connect to your computer.

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].

How do I map my guitar?

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

Older guitars may develop problematic whammy bars which cause issues while mapping. You may have to Filter Noise to map correctly.
To bind the effects switch, you must hold ALT then click the Right Stick: Up and Right Stick: Down.

By default, XInput has most things bound correctly. You only need to remap the following:

R1
L2

Profile

[Download Profile]

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

After downloading the profile,

Extract the .7z file.
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.
