Subject: Re: [PD] Guitar Heroes controller
I
found
something
on
this
page
about
Guitar
Hero
+
Max/MSP.
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.
