I've seen some developments with the Guitar Heroes controller on Max/MSP. I've been unable to get the one patch I found to really open in PD. I'd love to try to do something with it. Anyone has any experience developing and working with the Mac/PC version of the controller in PD? Any tips would greatly be appreciated.

Should just be HID protocol. Check the help patch for the [hid] object (in Extended or self-compiled) and see what parameters come in. After that, enjoy mapping them to something and rock out!

On a related note, I just bought one of these very nice controllers
called a gametrak. It is basically like two 3D joysticks but instead
of sticks, it has strings which you can clip on to things to track
them in 3D. The cheesy promo video gives you a good idea of what you
can do with it:

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

Hans,
Is your hardware labeled to be specifically for PS2?
At least this one article mentions that the hardware is equal among all platforms. http://www.hwhell.com/articles/gametrak-hardware-review
If you are using a generic PS2 <-> USB converter, it does seem likely that the converter is filtering obscure data other than the conventional buttons. i.e., the one I use filters out only the input from the analog keys.

Yeah, my hardware is specifally labeled PS2. It has a USB port, it
shows up properly like a USB HID device, just no data comes out :(
