Guitar Hero 3 PC


Recommended Posts

i've tried configuring my gamepad for it but nothing seems comfortable enough. what's the buttons layout on the ps3\xbox360 on a gamepad?

Heres the x360 setup for you

Green - Left Trigger

Red - Left Button

Yellow - Right Button

Blue - Right Trigger

Orange - A Button

I at least got all the Frets configured correctly, mouse shouldnt be hard...

Im using JoyToKey to Map the keyboard keys i use to my Joypad, plus, since im used to PS2 with no Strum, i binded the Strum key to every other key, that way i dont have to press it separately..., and my wrists doesnt suffer at all :), try JoyToKey :)

EDIT: AFter a quick try, i cant configure whammy either..., its weird tho, the mapping is working under Windows

Edited by Dom

i play with a x360 controller and all i have to do is to press the buttons i dont have to strum at all, at first i thought it was just because of easy, but medium is the same, my mate also has GHIII on the PC and he doesnt have to strum either,

Notice: The Nvidia Geforce 8400 and 8500 cards have known issues on Vista machines with AMD CPUs.

Has anyone with an 8400 or 8500 tried this on Vista and can confirm the issues? This is the only issue I have with my PC since I already meet the other recommended requirements. I don't mind running it on XP since I have a dual boot system. I just want to make sure beforehand so I know where to install it. I already have the game but can't play it until my birthday party (my brother bought it for me).

I cannot upload my profile, dunno how to save it, but here's a screenshot...

V: Strum Up

E: Green Fret

R: Red Fret

U: Yellow Fret

I: Blue Fret

Orange Fret its still not configured :p...

Im using a generic PS2-Style Joypad (2L Buttons, 2R Buttons, 2 Analogs, 4 Normal Buttons, Directional Pad and tons of useless Start and Turbo Buttons)

If you dont know which key is which, open up the configuration in Control Panel of your Joystick, and press the buttons there, itll show you which buton is which and you can map them correctly in JoyToKey :)...

PD: Imageshack sucks and im late for school because of this post... :p!

thanks mate.

i've got a weird problems with this game, its always configured P1 lefty (the green red yellow are backwards) when i change it in the game controls it will change back to lefty when game restarts.

plus, and this is really beyond me, if im connected to the internet the game crushes to desktop when trying to find in game servers (i've tried disabling my firewall completely .. :\

only in vista though, in xp i can connect to servers etc'

You gotta disable lefty in the Keyboard options directly trough the Options menu in the Main Menu...

For the servers, i dunno, im on XP and i dont remember either if i blocked the access to internet, or it simply cannot connect to the servers.

i did.. its keep coming back..

there are various ports in the readme that it suggests that you open if your having problems, give ma a sec and i'll dig em out for you

The game uses port 3074. If the computer running Guitar Hero III is behind a firewall and you are having difficulty with online functionality, try opening ports 80 TCP, 2270 UDP, 2280 UDP, 3074 TCP/UDP and 50000 UDP.
thanks mate.

    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
