Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad
NTSC-U	Windows 10 64-bit	Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.2GHz Nvidia GTX 970 4GB	PCSX2 1.5.0-20160523193844	GSdx 1.1.0 SSE4	SPU2-X 2.0.0 LilyPad 0.11.0	Guitar detection requires a bit of a hacky setup, I used a DS3. This game will not detect guitar unless you have some of the frets dual-bound in both Dualshock and Guitar modes. (e.g. FRET 2 is bound to L1 in Guitar and Circle in Dualshock mode) - However, Lilypad must be set to Guitar while playing. Game runs O.K.	CK1
