Megadrum + Guitar Hero World tour

[VMX]

This may be a stupid question about the actual topic of this thread, so please forgive me.

Are you trying to use your megadrum kit to play Rockband and/or GHWT games on - their respective consoles (i.e., xbox360,PS3,Wii), or on - the PC (e.g., GH, FoFiX)?,
or - BOTH consoles and PC?

Exactly. We want them to be playable on the PS3 and Wiil. The PS3 controllers work on PC. The xbox is not possible due to a encryption chip in the controllers.

I see. Rubis, thank you for clearing that up for me.

I am sort of working on a related project, and that
is, using a RockBand 2 drum kit on a PC, as a midi controller.
Here is some information that some of you may find interesting.
I have tried both RB2 for PS3 and for the Wii; and both
have identical game button mappings. However, both also
do NOT give any velocity information.
I have discussed this with one programmer who
believes that there is probably some handshaking between
the RB2 drum controllers and their respective PS3 or Wii consoles
that turns on the velocity sensitivity function(which is conveyed
by joystick position).
If anyone here, knows of some PC applet (or can write one) that can "turn on" the velocity function of the RB2 drums for PS3, it would be greatly appreciated.

That said, the RB2 for Xbox 360 actually sends the velocity information to the PC (as joystick position). I have ordered a Gaming Receiver for Windows, and will see for myself.
It's rather ironic (or diabolical) that MS will not let you easily use your own controller for it's Xbox 360 consoles, but is the ONLY version of the RB2 series that will actually send velocity information to the PC (unless, of course, someone here knows a hack to activate
the PS3 and Wii versions).

Thanks for any assistance.

My guess is that they wanted the RB2 drums to work with RB1, and RB2 just sends a command to "turn on" the velocity data. Don't know why MS would work theirs differently.

so.... the code works fine for pc?, if yes then the only i would need is to put a new pic programed with this code and change the one in megadrum?....
Thanks to speterman and all for the hard work, they put on this. im mostly a pc user so i use emulator (pcsx2) for my ps2 games and frets on fire especially instead of GH or RB, so it would be nice to use MD as a game controller.
Once again thanks. hope an ans. since this thread seems a littel abandon.
