accesories, helps me use my games but this is not a gameNovember 29, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
we were unable to find this adaptor in the local stores. Glad to be able to use my different game systems; I own several and update occasionally but cant afford to replace all when the manufacturer decides not to make the newest backwards compatable.
thanks
better stuff out thereNovember 24, 2008 i bought this for dance dance revolution. bad idea. this was the only one out at the time and it wont work for ddr. cant use 2 buttons at the same time.
Great productOctober 22, 2008 I've been using this device for 8 months with no problems at all within RB, RB2, and the GH:Aerosmith demo. I've had no issues with using tilt to deploy starpower, and I much prefer the PS2 wireless guitars over the Fender provided with the RB games. Just a note to you TAC Adapter RB'ers who may have noticed some guitar sound distortion when starpower is active... sometimes RB thinks a Fender Strat effects switch has been activated. With the new update to RB and the native ability of RB2 to recognize GH controllers, just put the TAC Adapter in GH mode and the problem goes away because RB and RB2 don't look for an effects toggle signal from a GH guitar.
Works well with official GH wireless "Kramer" PS2 controllerOctober 16, 2008 I bought this so I could use my wireless PS2 "Kramer" GH controller on the PS3. I already have too many PS2 guitars, but thanks to this adapter I don't need to buy any more in order to play Guitar Hero and Rock Band games on the PS3.
I've used it with PS3 edition of GH:Aerosmith (which is basically the same engine/code as GH3 underneath) and it worked well with no problems. Sometimes you need to keep the guitar tilted just a little longer to activate Star Power than you would when using the same guitar with the same game on a PS2, but it is not a real problem.
Pushing the "select" and "start" buttons at the same time is supposed to simulate pushing the PS3 button on a PS3 controller but only with "some" guitars. This feature works fine with the official/Red Octane "Kramer" wireless PS2 GH controller, allowing you to remotely change controller ID, quit the game, shut down the PS3, etc. Excellent.
I'm completely happy with this product.
Works great!September 24, 2008 This product works great for using a PS2 guitar on the PS3 while playing Rock Band for PS3. It registers as a guitar and the hammer-ons work well. The overdrive takes a little longer to activate when you tilt the guitar, as noted in the included instructions. You CAN be holding buttons while you activate the star power, contrary to what I've seen in some reviews.
