Well. My guitar hero 3 project has come to a halt, again. After having it work for a night (fun night) something on the main board shorted out so now it won’t recognize the fret buttons. I’ve dissasembled it to figure this out which is the state you see above. SO i have ordered another GH3 guitar off ebay ($60) and have also ordered an old SNES joypad to get some buttons for the frets ($32)…then tonight i won another auction i thought i’d lose for the same SNES joypad with a SNES system, 2 Controllers, and 5 games ($45). I would be happy to win a SNES if i didn’t already have 2.
So the running total on this project (not counting hours invested or the value of the actual guitar that has been destroyed) is roughly $230. Sweet.
