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. Console will spam GS Packet Size junk Tongue (Workaround - set VU rounding to Nearest). GS half screen issue is present. Switching to Progressive Mode while in HW renderer will cause missing text - emu must be restarted to fix. (Workaround - switch to SW renderer before activating Prog. Scan; and switch back to HW). |
