yeah i remember browsing through the pcsx2 source and i saw something about pads deprecated. but didn't really know what it was talking about...

but i just had an idea on how to make the guitar work w/ a modded version of lilypad (hypothetically).

basically, in the game Guitar Hero 2 when you use a regular PS2 dualshock2controller, it makes "L1", "L2", "R1", and "R2" be the frets and also it strums automatically when a fret is being pressed.

so instead of making a guitar hero plugin, the user can map the guitar "frets" to the "L1","L2", etc.. keys in the plugin.

next, the user would map the guitar's "strum bar" to "Right Analog up" and "Right analog down".

then in the plugin's source code, you modify it to only let the "L1","L2",etc.. keys work if
"L1" && ("Right Analog Up" || "Right Analog Down")
has been pressed.

thus, emulating the strumming function.

thats probably easier than having to mess with PCSX2's code.
