It does NOT support USB harddisks yet. All the tests USB sticks and harddisks I have don't work yet, even with the latest libogc.

GuitarsOnFire is designed to be played with Guitars. Currently it supports many of the Wii wireless guitars. And is known to work with the following guitars:
 +
* GH3 Guitar [http://news.filefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/guitar-hero-3-iii-wii-bundle-nintendo-1.jpg]
 +
* GH WT Guitar [http://tweakers.net/ext/i/1232713297.jpeg]
 +
* GH Metallica Guitar [http://www.wiihome.nl/img/products/large/guitar_hero_metallica_wii_bundle.jpg] (Works 100% the same as a WT guitar)
 +
* Flying V [http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-realistic-guitar-hero-flying-v/366758]
 +
* PS2 Guitar with PS2->GameCube converter.
 +
It also works with GuitarHeroWorldTour Drums. It WON'T EVER work with USB guitars, unless someone figures out how those work.
 +
I have reports that the cheapest guitar you can get "Nyko Frontman Wireless Guitar" does NOT work for some reason. No idea why.

Abstract

Guitars On Fire is a Guitar Hero clone, like Guitarfun and FretsOnFire. It uses Frets On Fire compatible songs, which can be found all over the internet. Lots are to be found at FretsOnFire fan forum Everything is released under GPL, which means the code is open for everyone to view and modify if they wish. It borrows graphics from both Guitarfun and FretsOnFire, and contains some new graphics. It does NOT use any of the FretsOnFire code, and only a little bit of the Guitarfun code. So it's a different game with a different feeling to it.

Status

The game is mostly modeled after GuitarHero3, which is the best version so far according to me and my friends.

In it's current state it supports playing single songs from SD card. Up to 5 players in quick play mode. With 4 guitars and 1 USB keyboard. No online multiplayer as of yet. It has no lag and all the notes are perfect on time, compared to FretsOnFire. (Some songs are not done well and just look out of sync)

Controllers

GuitarsOnFire is designed to be played with Guitars. Currently it supports many of the Wii wireless guitars. And is known to work with the following guitars:

  • GH3 Guitar [1]
  • GH WT Guitar [2]
  • GH Metallica Guitar [3] (Works 100% the same as a WT guitar)
  • Flying V [4]
  • PS2 Guitar with PS2->GameCube converter.

It also works with GuitarHeroWorldTour Drums. It WON'T EVER work with USB guitars, unless someone figures out how those work. I have reports that the cheapest guitar you can get "Nyko Frontman Wireless Guitar" does NOT work for some reason. No idea why.
