Automatic guitar hero controller dongle

It used to be that one could simply look up a walkthrough at Gamefaqs. Guitar Hero, however, is an actual game of skill rather than a glorified puzzle, mashfest or grind. How, then, to cheat? David Randolph takes a show controller–typically used to control museum exhibits and the like–and rigs it up to record and play perfect runs of the title’s songs.

Programmed through the serial port, it costs $210 and can’t be ordered online. Moreover, you have to get a relay board for another $200, or thereabouts, to adapt its output to a controller, which must itself be hacked to high heaven to get it all working.

So, ladies and gentlemen, it all comes down to exactly how much you suck, and exactly how much you want to do something about it.

    Making a game play itself is a little thing I like to call gamesturbation.
