This awesome dude Plumato made a video guide on how to install Guitar Hero 3 PC, 3D Analyze (important, for framerate optimization) and Guitar Hero 3 PC Control Pannel (which allows you to add custom songs)

He has a Google Drive that has all the files you will need. Search "Plumatos drive" on this subreddit or I think there are links to his drive in the discription of the vid I linked

The process is a little complicated but not too bad if you follow the video closely.



Yes you can use your Xbox guitar
A wired xbox 360 Xplorer controler is the best guitar to use and will work with a connected usb break away cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046RMJRU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6ErMzbVY8FHR8
These guitars arent super easy to find anymore though.

To use wireless a wireless xbox 360 guitar (like the GH3 les paul, world tour guitar, warriors of rock guitar, etc) you will have to buy a xbox to windows wireless reciever https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HZFCT2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wHrMzbE03S49X

to add to this its the xbox 360 breakaway usb cable like this

u/Nawara_Ven · 2 pointsr/AskGames

Xbox 360 controllers of all sorts come with what's called a "breakaway cable" that will purposely disconnect when yanked on, since actual USB connections are so firm; MS doesn't want you yanking your console off the entertainment stand.

You should be able to find something like this without too much difficulty! (Or get the original seller to send you the part of the stick's cable he forgot to include.)

Um, USB is USB. The only thing I could imagine you doing wrong is losing the breakaway cable, but in that case how would you be using it on the console?

Nevermind, it's actually the old xbox breakaway cable. There's adapters for that too!

I have it and it works perfectly for me. All you'll need to do is map the controls but that takes like 2 minutes. Though you'll probably need an adapter to make the circle thing into USB

u/srylain · 1 pointr/GuitarHero

That guitar would indeed work on PC, you just need to be sure you have a breakaway cable since I couldn't see on that site if it did include one (https://www.amazon.com/HDE-Xbox-360-USB-Breakaway-Cable/dp/B0046RMJRU). That being said, it's a 360 guitar so it has guaranteed support on Windows as all 360 controllers do.

Going forward though, the amount of work necessary to really be able to play GH3PC is unnecessarily high and I would recommend Clone Hero instead since adding songs to it and getting it running on PC is vastly easier and much less of a pain.

Hey man, got the pictures.

That second picture is to show you that it is missing that piece at the end that connects to the Xbox. It's this part, the breakaway cable. I have another wired controller (my main one) that does have the part, or I can order you a part on Amazon if you'd like.

u/chubbysumo · 1 pointr/techsupport

Its not a PS/2. its a breakaway cable. There should be a piece that plugs into that that turns into USB. Something that looks like this

u/YoungvLondon · 1 pointr/ucf

They have them on amazon, and they're decently cheap. They're called breakaway cables.

That looks like it coverts the proprietary end to USB. Wouldn't a 360 dongle, do the same with less plugging? Although, I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they changed dongle connectors too...
