Connecting Guitar or Drums to arcade cabinet...
my58vw:
That is quite interesting that the adaptor will work for the earlier games - I am still trying to decide if I will buy DJDAO's drums or get DTXes
I am one of the largest bemani and other music game collector on bemanistyle -
I own over 70 music games, including beatmania the final, several upgrades, and am aquiring dance maniax as we speak!

Spork? I know many of the Bemani arcade collectors, but not them all, of course.
And yeah, the DTX (actually, any old MIDI device on channel 10) will work with 3rd/2nd, but none of the other old ones. 3rd/2nd was of course the last one before V was released, so it was nice at least that it supported the MIDI option. I'm churning out a somewhat finalized build of the MIDI to Digital PS controller adapter if you're interested. Waiting on the microcontrollers to show up.
Also, if you happen to have a IIDX machine and want to play the CS versions on it or use it with a PC, have I got the board for you... Working on a similar adapter for DDR (DDR is electrically very, very nasty), but it'll be a while. I had a request for a para para USB adapter, too, but I haven't done anything with that since the person who was interested doesn't actually have the machine at his place yet.
Most of my Bemani hardware tinkering has been related to hooking up CS and emulation to the real cabinets since the real upgrades are so darned expensive to put in a basement arcade, and of course using a home version is completely legit if it's actually in a home.
HUM: I may be off by a version here - I don't play the CS GF/DM much as I don't have a worthy controller. The only "older" (pre-V) version to support the USB MIDI option is the Guitadora bundle, whatever arcade releases that was meant to mirror.

I remembered that it was actually the OSX version of FoF that ran slow and jerky (on new 20" iMac), so not sure what the issue was, but it runs fine in Vista.
Just got the 400 Rock song pack - not looked at it yet though.
So this brings me back now to the best controller for this thing - shall I get the 360 USB one, or get a PS2 one and use the adapter - if I get a PS2 one, which works best, the GH1 or GH2 guitar?
Thanks for all your help guys, this thread is really interesting!

I've read on another forum (might have been one of the FoF forums) that a few people were having issues with xbox360 guitars. I think they complained that the buttons were sticking. I've got a PS2 Guitar (I think its from GH2) and PS-USB adaptor and it works great. The only thing I cant get to work is the whammy bar - but FoF doesn't use it anyway.

pboreham:
Cool, thanks Buks. Is there anyway you can confirm it is the GH2 guitar before I start looking.
I think they were different (GH1, GH2) if I recall...
