Subject: [PATCH] HID: sony: add support for Rock Band 2 instruments
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 11:50:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220165047.2844568-1-appsforartists@google.com> (raw)
From: Brenton Simpson <appsforartists@google.com>
Rock Band 2 for the Nintendo Wii and for the Sony PlayStation 3 use the
same mapping as later games:
Green: SOUTH (A)
Red: EAST (B)
Yellow: NORTH (Y)
Blue: WEST (X)
Orange/pedal: TL (L1)
Solo flag: TL2 (L2)
Tilt: TR (R1)
Pad flag: THUMBL (L3)
Instrument button: MODE (Steam/Xbox)
Whammy bar: ABS_Z (Axis 4)
Effects switch: Z (Axis 5)
As documented at https://github.com/TheNathannator/PlasticBand/blob/main/Docs/.
The guitar and drums both use the same mapping. Tested using the Wii
versions of the instruments.
