Guitar Hero III on PC w/ Wii Les Paul controller + GlovePIE

This is my brother, Ichinisan/J. Evans Turner, playing Guitar Hero III on the PC for the third time with the Wii Guitar controller on the Sony KDL-52XBR2 @1080p resolution. He's still getting used to the latency it introduces and the two phones ringing didn't help him focus any, but this is a not a skill demonstration anyway (tech demo). Even so, he's not ready to show anything off considering that he's only been playing a few weeks on and off. If the latency isn't from the Wii Remote, this input might have image processing enabled, and that'll be a simple fix; it looks almost *too* good in 1080p anyway! Thanks to my motherboard selection, this supports DTS (DTS Connect)! Way to one-up the Wii version's current lack of a Dolby Pro Logic II fix, replacement, or work-around for surround-sound, though I'm not really set up for it st the moment (my Logitech Z680s crapped out on me). We just got it working, so we haven't finished the parts of the GlovePIE script for supporting tilt, but that'll be easy. He's trying to use the minus button instead, which he's never done before (obvious!). Also, the whammy bar could be much better once we figure out how to smoothen the mouse mapping. Unfortunately, there's no support for the Wii-exclusive speaker and rumble ("Force Feedback") either, though I'd expect the Guitar Hero clones to add this functionality soon. The recent Wii homebrew hack seems to have helped make sense of the Wii's disc format, so importing from the Wii disc may be the next big thing. One problem is that the PC version always defaults to "Leftie Flip" or whatever it's called when there is no Xplorer guitar connected due to the default KBM (Key-Board and Mouse) config. It's paired with some Bluetooth adapter that was included with a Microsoft wireless mouse (built-in laser pointer!). It functioned as a proprietary USB wireless mouse at first, but it was easy enough to download and configure the right Bluetooth stack to get this going. At least this way it was easy to find 64-bit drivers (yes, that's Windows Vista Ultimate x64)!
