Wireless Guitar Hero Redux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the won't-get-fooled-again dept.

jeffb writes "I just finished a DIY project and thought you guys would enjoy a look. An improved upon idea: a redux of the wireless guitar hero controller, this time with perfectly functioning whammy bar, rechargeable NiMH pack onboard which can be charged from the PS2's built-in USB ports (for charging, and/or playing while docked), wireless link/activity indicator, and assembled with a nod towards a clean, and professional looking job. Complete how-to with parts list included. Best regards, rock out, and happy soldering! " The original piece on this as well.

    This is f'ing hilarious... Look at his flickr pix, some chick with a nice set! So apparently Guitar Hero hasn't ruined his love life! Damn you Guitar Hero, if only I had learned to play fake guitar instead of the real thing!!! :(

    +1 for inventive hacking/creative thinking

    -10000 for degrading music as an art form.

    Not looking good, Bob.

      He can't pat himself on the back. He doesn't have clones like we do.

    Eh, I'm not impressed. Now, my Wireless Air Guitar, there's a worthy hack.

    Can you post a HOWTO? I'm tired of getting tangled up in cords when I play my air guitar.

    I have another theory: He didn't have to spend years and years practicing the opening melody of "nothing else matters" in complete isolation, so he actually has lots of time left, for example to build a wireless controller into his air guitar, or to hang around with lots of sexy chicks.
