Hacking Guitar Hero 5 problem

[jimshabadoo]

I have an unusual problem with GH5. I am booting it through Configurable USB Loader and it loads up fine. The wiimote works (if I want to use a mic), but if I plug it into the guitar, it stops working. Thus, I can not actually play GH5 with a guitar. This is a bit of a problem for me.

Any ideas on what might cause this or how it can be fixed? I'm using an NTSC game on a 4.1 USA Wii and the guitar works fine with other games (like GH:WT and Rock Band 2).

Thanks!

Which cIOS are you using?

Hermes 222

Hermes 222

As IOS38 merged with IOS37?

It's been a while since I've installed it. Is there a way to check?

I wish. You may just want to run the installer again using IOS222 as IOS38 merged with IOS37.

If that doesn't work, you can experiment with other merges, such as IOS38 merged with IOS60.

Good point.

Here's a copy of just the cIOS222/223 v4 installer:

Let me guess, is it a Nyko FrontMan? Cause if it is, a google search for "nyko frontman" "guitar hero 5" will make you very upset...worse yet, it also applies to Band Hero...

As an aside, I would like to mention that I have a 3rd Party guitar (one of the infamous Metop Games guitars) and it works perfectly, GH 3, Smash Hits, 5, Band Hero and RockBand Beatles.

It is indeed a Nyko Frontman! Good call! I will look online for solutions, but from your message, it sounds like things are less than promising...

Unlike some of the people that posted on scorehero that if they unplug and replug or press certain buttons it will eventually work, I've had no luck. Even worse, I beat myself over the head for DAYS cause I knew I had it working before, but it turns out it was with another guitar I had lent out...

It just blows my mind that all these Nyko guitars out there won't work on the Guitar Hero 5 engine...
