Hi,
I read a bit about using Controllers from Guitar Hero games with Linux systems. Problem is, that I am now confused about which ones work and which ones don't work. There seems to be a big amount of different "versions" of these guitar controllers... Guitar hero 1-3, xbox, ps2, ps3, wired, wireless...
Can anyone give me a hint which controllers work with Ubuntu and Frets on Fire? :) I would appreciate your help!
Kind regards

Have a look here (http://fretsonfire.wikidot.com/using-guitar-hero-controller). Seemingly a PC (will be Guitar Hero 3 only) or Playstation controller requires the least configuration. Xbox and Wii require more tweaking.

Wireless should be fine, but I'd rather not use battery. Xbox and Wii require more tweaking. The PC controller with Guitar Hero 3 is simply a port from the Xbox so I imagine will have the same problems.
