I just heard Heart's Crazy on You and was thrown back to guitar hero, and wondered if anyone has tried emulating it?

I found some replicas, thinking about picking up a controller and seeing what I can do https://a.co/d/0ppR6rw

Tagging onto your reply, PCSX2 supports USB peripherals as well.

Score counter is glitched

Workaround: NTSC widescreen patch mostly fixes this issue (a small part of digits is still not visible). Currently no workaround for 4:3 or PAL.

Last marked Playable. Nobody has tested this one for a long time, so probably improved latency.

Same here. Last marked Playable.

Audience graphics corrupted & blurry band members

Description: The audience may have corrupted sprites in certain parts of any song and/or the band member can be seen slightly blurry when using any hardware renderer with GSdx.

Workaround: Use a software renderer instead. Beware this might reduce the emulation performance significantly if you don't have a powerful enough processor for the task.
