it sounds to me that a custom input plugin is exactly whats needed.
the emulator is most-likely reading the "xbox Guitar hero" controller as a regular ps2 gamepad.
and the game guitar hero, is acting like when you play with a regular ps2 controller (which is that when you press a button, you don't need to strum)
so you need an input plugin that tells guitar hero that the controller is a guitar, and not a ps2 gamepad.
but you would need to know about the original ps2 guitar hero controller's hardware information to make this work. well at least, what type of information it sends to the ps2 to let it know its a guitar hero controller.
i was fiddling around with a C library for detecting ps1 controllers connected to the parallel port (by homemade adapter). i was able to detect my ps2 gamepad, but when i plugged in my guitar hero guitar, it wouldn't recognize it.
so the information the guitar hero controllers send are totally different than ps2 gamepads...
well, not sure if what i said helps
but since guitar hero runs really slow now, making the custom plugin is probably not worth it (until we get faster cpus...)
Edit:
just read chickenliver's post, maybe i don't know what i'm talking about lol
chickenliver & refraction, so I guess you guys are saying that PCSX2 automatically says that there are 2 "ps2 gamepads" and not 2 input devices.
thus the pad plugin can't tell pcsx2 that one input device is a Guitar, because PCSX2 can only read "ps2 GamePads"
so the way PCSX2 handles' gamepads would have to be changed in order to allow the guitar? and not the pad plugin itself..?
