Just an update. 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.

He says the Xbox version works fine with a computer while the PS2 version needs an adapter. The adapter looks like it is for adapting a different plug type, though, not for plugging in a USB PS2 controller. http://theguitarzeros.com/download_fretbuzz.php .hc On Mar 12, 2008, at 10:53 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > > On a related note, I just bought one of these very nice controllers > called a gametrak.
