Guitar Hero

[SpaceBooger]

Anyone have a Wii, a PS2 to GameCube control adater, and Guitar Hero?
I have everything but the game and was wondering if I bought the game could I use my PS2 guitars via the converter to play... anyone know if this will work?

I don't think that will work. I think the Wii Guitar Hero games will only work with the Wii mote. It wouldn't make sense to support the Gamecube interface since there were never any guitars available. Using a PS2->gamecube is an option not available to most consumers.

Plus, I would rather have the guitar be wireless.

That won't work.

WII GH games doesn't use gamecube ports.

it also doesn't used wired guitars, as it operates on their wiimotes plugged into the guitar.

I knew there was no GameCube port of GH and I knew how the Wii version worked... I was just wondering if anyone had ever tried it. Just because it wasn't made that way didn't necessarily mean it doesn't work that way. It looks like I won't get lucky.
Oh, well I guess Ill have to shell out $ for the real thing.

Just because it wasn't made that way didn't necessarily mean it doesn't work that way.

Think of it from a software developer viewpoint. Adding additional control interfaces means additional coding/testing...in other words, more money/time. Why would they try to support an interface (Gamecube guitar controller) that doesn't exist?

I think it's disgusting the amount of money they charge for the Wii GH. It's a joke.

Over here the Wii versions of GH are the same price as the other platforms. Yet, all you're buying is a shell. All the work is done by the remote. With the other platforms, you get all the wireless gubbins and accelerometer. Why are you paying the same amount for the Wii version when you're getting an inferior product.

This option might work for you.

Here's a feedback from a user on that page.
