Found this on amazon.

I have this one, this one, this one, and this one.

The SG is about 25-30ms behind every other guitar I have, which is a lot.

It's playable, but fiddling with the calibration setting in between hitting the notes too early so they break on the strikeline, and hitting them at the correct time where they don't go past the hit window is annoying, and there's no reason to deal with that.

This is the one I’ve been using for almost a year ~$8

PS3 uses wireless controllers, so no compatibility unless you buy a 3rd party converter

Pretty much any PS3 made recently has no PS2 game compatibility.

You would have to find out of the early fat PS3s and check the model #.

Most usb/wireless keyboards/mice work with it. Also, bluetooth keyboards. There is an official remote which you can easily find online.

I haven't tested it for RetroPie (or even Linux for that matter), but I've been using this adapter from McBazel on my PC for PCSX2 and Clone Hero, and it's worked pretty much flawlessly so far. In spite of it's Amazon listing name, it even works with Guitar Hero controllers! (this is actually the very adapter that /r/clonehero recommends for PS2-tars)

this is the one i use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NJBD90/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i found it has no latency at least the one i have tilt works whammy bar does not it says it does not work with guitar hero guitars but it does

This is one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NJBD90/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You need the wireless receiver
then the PS2 to USB adapter dongle

Btw it's not worth it. Too much latency to be enjoyable.

Thanks man, appreciate it. I don't think the adapted I use is a Raphnet adapter, probably isn't. I got it from here: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Controller-Converter-Controllers-compatible-2/dp/B000NJBD90/ref=pd_gwm_cr_simh_2?pf_rd_s=blackjack-experiment-1&pf_rd_t=Gateway&pf_rd_i=mobile&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pd_rd_wg=VPuRY&pd_rd_r=8D0J6KS02BXJFQ3NKKZX&pd_rd_w=QJiER&pf_rd_r=DVP8K3Y1MHBKN1PKE7BE&pf_rd_p=9f61167e-e113-42e9-8ec8-2f161c40ddd7&pd_rd_i=B000NJBD90

Not personally, but others have. This is what you’ll want: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Controller-Converter-Sony-PS3-Controllers/dp/B000NJBD90. You’ll likely have to map the controller as well once in the game.

Do you use this one ? It’s the one recommended on the CH wiki

I've heard that using this adapter works best, though I've only heard of people using it with wired SGs so your mileage may vary.

Clone hero recommend this one

Wow, I really can't find one anywhere! I bought mine on eBay a while back, but I can't find any listings for them right now...

This is the best I can find, but it's both not the model I bought, and not in stock...


I kinda wonder if this would work?
