How to Get PS2 Rock Band Guitar to Work on PC

In November 2007, "Rock Band" was released for the PlayStation 2. The music game included with it a controller in the shape of a guitar. This controller was meant to simulate playing a real guitar for use with the game. But you also can hook up the PS2 guitar controller to a PC and use it to play computer games.

  Connect the PS2 to USB converter into your computer. Plug the USB adapter into a USB port on your computer. Ensure you have installed any necessary drivers for your converter to work properly. Most times this is unnecessary if the device is recognized by your computer.

  Download a key mapping utility. This will enable you to easily bind keystrokes to buttons on your game controller. For example, you can bind one of the guitar's buttons to execute the same action as when the spacebar is pressed. Two popular key mappers are JoyToKey and Xpadder.
