Bought PC/Mac version of Guitar Heroes III today. Looks like the controller is an Xbox 360 version since the logo is smack on there. Can't seem to get it recognized with [hid] on OS X, but was able to get hidin help patch to recognize it. a bit of garbage in the information it was spitting out, but the main buttons work nicely. Any idea why OS X pd extended is not recognizing the device? Maybe I'm not setting it up correctly.<br><br>James<br><div> </div>***************************************************<br>astroboy2520<br><span>Visit my blogs: <a target="_blank" href="http://triphop-universe.blogspot.com">http://triphop-universe.blogspot.com</a></span><br><span> <a target="_blank"

<br>I
found
something
on
this
page
about
Guitar
Hero
+
Max/MSP.
He
says <br>the
Xbox
version
works
fine
with
a
computer
while
the
PS2
version <br>needs
an
adapter.
The
adapter
looks
like
it
is
for
adapting
a <br>different
plug
type,
though,
not
for
plugging
in
a
USB
PS2
controller.<br><br><a href="http://theguitarzeros.com/download_fretbuzz.php" target="_blank">http://theguitarzeros.com/download_fretbuzz.php</a><br><br>.hc<br><br>On

On

called
a

It
is
basically
like
two
3D

instead
of
sticks,
it
has
strings
which
you

I
used
one
that
Jonas
Hielscher
let
me
borrow
and
I
plugged
it
in <br>>
and
it
just
worked
with
[hid].
I
just
got
the
one
I
ordered,
it
is <br>>
a
"PlayStation
2"
controller,
I
am
not
sure
which
Jonas'
is.
But <br>>
with
mine,
it
shows
up
in
[hid]
fine,
but
I
don't
get
any
data
from <br>>
it.<br>><br>>
Anyone
know,
is
there
something
special
about
PS2
USB
controllers?<br>><br>>

(in
