If your guitar controller is connected to a PC version of Guitar Hero: Being too close or too far from the console may interfere with the wireless signal. Vary the distance between you and the console.Remove large metal objects near the wireless transmitter that can interfere with the signal.If your console is inside an entertainment center, please remove it and try to sync the guitar again.This includes cordless phones and other wireless controllers.

Restart your console and re-sync your guitar.If your guitar controller will not function, first try the following steps: Insert the Wii remote into the controller compartment.Plug the connector that is inside the controller compartment into the bottom of the Wii remote.Sync your Wii remote to your Wii console.Then the four lights should stop flashing on the guitar and only one will remain illuminated. All four lights should flash on the guitar and the Xbox 360 console.Hit the sync button (the button next to the USB ports) on the console.When you do this the lights on the guitar around the Xbox 360 guide button should chase themselves in a circle.

Regarding Guitar Hero I & II support on PS3, Red Octane wrote us: "In regards to your other question about GH and GHII (on PS2), they do work on PS3 (w/ both SG and Kramer), though they will require an appropriate adapter for the guitar controller.In order to connect your Guitar Hero controller to your console, choose your console from the following list and follow the instructions: Update: We were trying to avoid bringing the Xbox 360 into this, but considering there is some confusion, the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero III is "dongle-less." Meaning a direct connection is made between the guitar and Xbox 360. Maybe Sony will give Red Octane and Harmonix the tools to make their guitars work dongle-less one day, but to get things done for this holiday season this was the only (or most cost effective) solution available. Although it's completely disputable, here's our basic idea: Two USB ports on the back of the Wii for the drum and mic (which are wired on every console), then if Harmonix wants the guitars to be wireless they need to design a guitar modeled around the Wiimote to plug into so that Rock Band does the same signal hijack that GH III accomplishes.Īpparently Sony doesn't feel up to talking about why these dongles are necessary as they stonewalled 1UP when the site went looking for answers. This might also explain a lot about why there isn't a Wii version of Rock Band announced yet. Rock Band will also use some sort of PS3 dongle. The over-simplified version is that even though PS3 and Wii both use Bluetooth, the Wii guitar plugs directly into the Wiimote hijacking the signal, while the Sixaxis doesn't plug into the guitar - hence the USB wired dongle as a wireless bridge.īefore we go any further, this isn't just a GH III problem. Answers are slowly starting to emerge about the mysterious dongle the PS3 uses for wireless guitar capabilities in Guitar Hero III.
