Special Feature: Guitar Hero in PCSX2 (WIP)

This entry is about one of my all-time favs, Guitar Hero. It was the single reason for me to buy a PS2. So when I found out that recent versions of PCSX2 support the original Guitar Hero controller, all my focus was on this wonderful achievement of emulation. As of this writing, I have sufficiently confident emulation running on Apple Silicon, so let's summarize the experience. Work in progress.

For a long time, those were my only PS2 games - believe it or not.

 
On the software side, all you need is a nightly build of PCSX2: https://pcsx2.net/ - it is still Intel only, but works very nicely on Apple Silicon machines as well. The app comes with a nice updater, which in the case of nighly builds provides you with daily updates, and those are mostly smooth.

On the hardware side, the Guitar Hero Controller is a must. Of course there are nerds playing the games with regular joypads, but that's really not the point of these games.
