How to setup Nintendo Wii Rock Band guitars on RPCS3.


NOTES
- The effects switch seems to reset to the middle when it’s adjusted, so you’ll be locked to flanger.
- It can be unmapped by removing the Right Stick: Up/Down mappings.
- You can alternatively configure the Device Class as a Guitar Hero Guitar to remove the option. You will have to swap Blue and Yellow frets.
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.

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.
