Review: Whammy & Tilt Compatible with Guitar/Clone Hero when other adapters did not! - Works with clone hero + PS2 SG controller, make sure to adjust latency and enable tilt in settings. I decided to order a few different adapters on desertcart and try them. I even got sent a dodgy adapter that worked with no whammy or tilt that stopped working after a day. Unsure why and almost nearly giving up I tried the “mcbazel” which was the last to arrive. It has been listed on clone hero Wiki page as compatible for some and I can confirm that it fully works after simply plugging it in and going to clone hero , where the guitar is seen as “USBwirelessgamepad” . All inputs including Tilt AND Whammy functions are working ! 5* so hopefully ppl can see this and ignore most of the other adapters / methods that require drivers/joy2key or hidmini. Review: Whammy works for Clone Hero/YARG etc. - Whammy and tilt worked straight out of the box for my GH SG Guitar with Clone Hero and YARG. Didn't need any drivers. Plugged it in and windows 11 did it's thing. ## Features - PS2 to USB Adapter for PC & PS3 Console: Easily connect your classic PlayStation 2 controllers to a computer or PlayStation 3 Console using this convenient PS2 to USB adapter, keeping your favorite DualShock controllers fully usable. - PlayStation 2 Controller Converter: Designed for seamless compatibility, this PS2 controller to USB converter lets you enjoy retro gaming on PC or PS3 without losing the familiar comfort of the original controller. - Plug & Play Gaming Accessory: No additional drivers needed; simply insert the PlayStation 2 controller into the adapter and plug into a USB port for instant use.
