    Wii guitar on PC?

    Well i know its possible for the guitar from GH3 but i cant get mine to work(got the new GH4 one) so does anyone know the full steps for using it?. I got the wiimote paired etc but it just wont work on Frets on fire. Would be nice to get it working as i wont need to buy another guitar or the games on wii .

    Re: Wii guitar on PC?

    The main thing is to make sure that you have GlovePIE configured correctly.

    This is the GlovePIE script that I use, modified from "Honkey Kong"s from the fretsonfire forums.

    Code:
    // Note: This commented-out block is what I used to test each button
    // while I figured out how the guitar worked.
    
    z = Wiimote.Classic.a
    x = Wiimote.Classic.b
    c = Wiimote.Classic.x
    v = Wiimote.Classic.y
    b = Wiimote.Classic.ZL
    RightShift = Wiimote.Classic.Up
    RightControl = Wiimote.Classic.Down
    
    // Press the Right Alt button (Whammy) when the whammy bar is depressed 
    // To tweak the timing of how far down you need to tilt the whammy 
    // bar to hit the key, alter the value to the left of < Wiimote 
    // For Referance, my whammy ranges from 0.52 at rest to 0.84 fully pressed 
    // whammy
    Key.RightAlt = (0.6 < Wiimote.Classic.R < 0.84)
    //Star Power
    Key.Space = (20 < Wiimote.RawForceZ < 100)
    
    Wiimote.LED1 = 9
    Key.Space = Wiimote.Classic.Minus   //Star Power
    Key.Escape = Wiimote.Classic.Plus            //Menu / Pause 
    Key.Left = (-1.2 < Wiimote.Classic.Joy1X < -0.5) // Joystick moving Left = minus X axis 
    Key.Right = (0.5 < Wiimote.Classic.Joy1X < 1.2)   // Joystick moving Right = positive X axis 
    Key.Up = (-1.2 < Wiimote.Classic.Joy1Y < -0.5) // Joystick moving Up = negative Y axis 
    Key.Down = (0.5 < Wiimote.Classic.Joy1Y < 1.2)   // Joystick moving Down = positive Y axis
    You can test that its working by opening up notepad, and checking if numbers/letter appear as you press buttons on the guitar. You then need to setup the keyboard mapping in FoF to match your buttons (since all GlovePIE does is maps wiimote buttons/motions to a keyboard press)
