There's only 2 things you really need for this to work. One is your guitar hero controller ( http://www.redoctane.com for those of you who are already missing the first item) and a ps2 to usb adapter.
Since I couldn't find the official adapter from RedOctane like the one I have, I found this one via Google.

However, upon plugging in my guitar controller, I found that the fret buttons worked just fine, but the game did not accept the strum bar as a gamepad button, so I used a program called "Joy2Key."

Using this program I was able to set the strum bar motions (down-left and up-left) both to be read as a keystroke of the "enter" key (you can set the actions to any key).
Thats about it. Good luck.
Using your guitar hero controller - It's easy, I promise.

You can get an adapter for any controller at pretty much any electronics store. RadioShack and Best Buy both have some decent ones.

I'm glad you brought that up, actually. I haven't tried one from Best Buy, but certain key combinations (especially evident when trying to use a DDR pad) will NOT be picked up by the RadioShack ps2 to usb converter. I can only assume something similar might happen with the guitar controller. The RadioShack converter is about $5 cheaper than most, but stay away from it.

I used a program called "AutoHotKey" and it all worked perfectly for me. All of it works, the Fret's and the strumming.
Heres a video to show you guys how slick it works.

Here's the official RedOctane one that you were looking for...

Hey guys!
I am from Germany and unfortunately they don't sell GH controllers without the game here, at least I didn't find out anything. I don't have a PS2 so I only need the controller, so if anyone has a clue if there is a way to get one without buying the game, just tell me.
Maybe I could buy the game, get the controller und sell the game at eBay, but I bet nobody will want to buy it without a controller ^^

i use my gh controller in linux.
build 192 of FOF required a key mapper
i used this one for linux as its very easy
its called
Qjoypad
with the new 225 build... i no longer require Qjoypad in linux to use my strum bar.
also .. i use the radio shack usb converter with is automatically detected and setup with zero configuration just like in windows.
in fact i find that FoF plays better in nix than windows!
those using windows and looking for a very user friendly distro check out [url=http://www.freespire.org]Freespire
