That is ghetto. If it can output in Stereo it has one up on the Wii version.

Many games that don't rely on graphics could work on older systems, the problems is that people want the better graphics. I am actually surprised someone has not done this sooner actually.

I know there are still many Commodore 64 fans out there, and one of them is Toni Westbrook; a guy that work on a project called Shredz64, that aim to create connectivity and interaction between Guitar Hero controller with C64.

This proves that we dont really need new systems with better technology. We still dont have all the games we could have had in the 80s. We could still have new nes games that are fun and innovative if it was supported.

Its nice having new and improved graphics and everything, but we really need more innovation. New and better gameplay.

Yes. Tell me next time about a Guitar Hero or Rock Band hack that does Haruhi's "God Knows...", oy. Playing that song WHILE in a Bunnygirl outfit is a perfect guarantee that you are bad-ASS. Regardless of gender.

all you really need for guitar hero are five colors on the screen. I'm surprised this wasn't done sooner.

Actually, most people hear (or heard) the C64 in mono as well. I believe the only way to get stereo from it is to use a DIN cable, otherwise you are left with the RF output and are only getting mono through the aerial cable.

Anyways, I miss my C64. Good times growing up. Had over 200 games and loves the program books where you can make your own.

Oh Commodore 64...you have brought us so much...and you still want to give us more. Anything using the SID chip is awesome...but I just can't fathom someone playing Guitar Hero on a C64.

@Pezdispenser: Yeah, but you'd probably have to deal with insane loading times.

Unless, of course, you got Epyx's "Fast Load" cartridge.

@SuperMaxZero:

Wii version has Monosound
PS3 version suffers from lag
360 has achievement bugs
PS2 looks funny, no online support

At this rate I probably would be better off with the C-64 version.

Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:25:03 MST

@SuperMaxZero: The Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 only outputs in mono in single player mode. In multi-player, each side outputs that player's audio. The intro videos are in stereo.

Dude, on his page for the PSX64 interface he has a Lazarian cartridge plugged into his 64! That was one of my favorite games when I was like 5 years old. I drove my family crazy with the "Ode to Joy" theme music it played incessantly in the background. Good times. Although, nothing could fully usurp Conan as my favorite 64 game.

DUDE I still have that monitor. that's a commodore 1710 monitor from days of yore. I had my Ps3 hooked up to it for a little while before I got the 32 HDTV. Awesome monitor...better than SDTV for sure.
