guitar hero! immediate help?

Question

hey, i have a problem. i´ve ordered a guitar hero 3 (game + controller - include ghd 1&2 ) from ebay and got a ps2 but its not working together somehow and i dont know where the problem could be (im not a video games nerd or somethin) is there any driver i could download or something? please, help :(

Answer 1

Is it not loading or does it load and your guitar doesn't seem to work? If it is having trouble loading it might be your PS2 is dirty and the lens needs to be cleaned. If it's your guitar make sure you have working batteries in it. You can tell if the guitar is not working if the light on the wireless piece is blinking. If it is solid it is working but something may be wrong with the guitar itself. Guitar Heroes 3 is also available on PS2. I have the entire series for PS2.

Edit:
I agree with the person above me about the regions, but if you bought everything from the same region it doesn't matter where you are to play it. You just can't mix stuff from diffrent regions. If you bought it from the U.S. and you are in a diffrent country you will need a power converter because the voltage is diffrent here in the U.S. vs. everywhere else. Of course if the problem is it's not powering on at all.

Answer 2

I thought that Guitar Hero 3 was for PS3 (PS1 and 2 games will work on PS3, but PS2 games will not work on PS1 and PS3 games will not work on earlier versions of PS)

edit: Hey Monika, got your email and sent you an answer. I'll answer here too.

There are 6 different regions for DVDs, CDs, video and computer games. A game console sold in Europe is a region 2 device and a game sold in North America is a region 1 game and will only play on a region 1 device. Since your other PS2 GH games won't play on your PS, that sounds like that is what your problem is.

The regions are
1--Canada, US
2--Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Japan, Greenland
3--Hong Kong, S. Korea, Taiwan, parts of Southeast Asia
4--Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
5--Eastern Europe, Africa, India, Russia
6--China

I'm not sure why there is coding, but one reason the manufacturers claim that it is for copywrite protection in the different regions.

You'll have to see if GH3 is available in the European market for your European PS2.

Answer 3

GH3 isn't for the PS3 is it? Other than that I'm not sure what the problem may be...
