Xbox 360 Guitar Hero Controller Driver

Xbox

I bought a xbox 360 wired x-plorer guitar for guitar hero, i got home, installed guitar hero and pluged in the guitar to the pc. Everything worked normally, it asked to install the driver, i installed it, i even installed one manually. The Gibson SG Controller was packaged with the PS2 version of Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II The SG is much smaller than its counterpart, the X-plorer Controller used in the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II. The SG is one of the Guitars available to use in game for Guitar Hero III (PS2 version), and Guitar hero: Aerosmith (also on the PS2). Your character can play it as if it was a real. I'm trying to play Clone Hero with my GHL guitar. It's an Xbox 360 guitar, so it should automatically work, but when I plug it in, the lights on the dongle. Open the “Xbox 360 Controller for Windows” and click on the “Drivers” tab. Click “Update Driver” and allow Windows “Search Automatically”.

This is a short tutorial explaining how you can connect a Guitar Hero Live controller to your PC and use it with Clone Hero (or any other software).

Important notice: this only works if you have a Xbox 360 dongle for your guitar. If you don’t have such a dongle, you can try requesting a Xbox 360 dongle by opening a ticket on Activision support.

Sync the guitar with the receiver dongle: you also have to connect the guitar to the dongle. To do so, press the green sync-button on the dongle and the sync-button of the guitar until they are both blinking and searching for eachother. Wait a few seconds and they will connect.

Note about connection problems: we heard repeatedly about cases where a certain Windows update (version 2004) breaks the driver and the receiver doesn’t work anymore. You can follow the steps of this video to fix it. Follow every step but when you need to copy the hardware ID, copy the whole expression starting from USBvid… and replace the entire USB-expression in the driver files. After having completed the steps in the video, the dongle should be working. However it might happen that the guitar still doesn’t sync. In that case you need to update the driver again (step 2 and onward). Choose again to browse your computer for drivers, uncheck “show compatible hardware” and re-install the original xbox 360 driver as shown above.
