Guitar Hero but with Arcade Buttons | Now with Rockband + World Tour Support

I harvest a PS2 Guitar Hero Controller PCB to build a 10- button control panel to play RockBand and all the Guitar Hero games, but only with arcade buttons.
Brought to you by schottky diodes!
I also manage to salvage the PS2 Guitar controller by making a drop-in USB converter PCB.

this was a personal follow up. It was hard to let this topic rest knowing the original control panel was only compatible with ~half of the hero/band rhythm game library. this video addresses that while saving the sacrificed Guitar Hero controller shell for PC / USB use.

it was a billion dollar+ / year franchise. No doubt it comes up at board meetings.

Amazing. Great build and looks really nice. Love that you've stuck with CRT in your builds too. 😁👍
