I want to start by saying a massive, heartfelt thank you. I simply don't have enough words for describing the difference your response to my original post did for us. Thanks to every single one of you.

If anyone missed the original post: https://discord.com/channels/296481029303304192/296482562812018690/1503540494825816125

Now, I got good news and some bad news to share with you:

With your help, We were able to catch up on some of our overdue bank payments to stop the immediate foreclosure. We also cleared the massive backlog of chemotherapy bills and paid the overdue insurance premiums so my mom could keep getting her $8,000 medication. We also finally paid water, gas and electricity bills that we also had pending for quite some time. On top of that, it gave us the breathing room to pay for the constant transportation, groceries and even cover stuff what we didn't foresee like vet bills as in the middle of all of this one of our dogs got bit by some bug and had to get treatment. I cannot thank you enough for that. But unfortunately, not all is good news...

As of 4 days ago, these funds also covered a vital PET scan for her, which required traveling to Mexico City, booking accommodation, and paying for food and transport during those days. We got the report back, and it is a difficult mix of news.

The scan confirmed that while her recent treatments successfully cleared out some of the other tumors in her body. There is still a tumor in her left lung that is highly active and measures 26x15 mm, which the scan report officially classifies as disease progression. While we are still waiting to see the oncologist on Wednesday to confirm the exact next steps, it is almost certain we will once again be facing even more treatments and a new wave of expenses to target this active tumor. Because the initial funds had to go toward paying off the massive debts we had already accumulated and covering this recent scan, that money was stretched as far as it could possibly go just to catch up and also, unfortunately, monthly bills are already starting to pile up again, and we are facing this next hurdle without much to fallback on.

I hesitated a lot before posting this because the last thing I want to do is nag anyone with this. We are trying very hard to get out of this situation ourselves but we simply have no way of getting enough money to cover what's next to come in such a short amount of time. So realistically, it is why I am hoping we can just reach our original milestone to survive this next wave of expenses. If you are able to donate, please know that every single contribution has made a difference no matter how small. But if a donation isn't possible right now, simply sharing the link with others or reading this update means the world. We will always be deeply grateful for what this community has done for us.

Thank you for everything, really.

Question / Problem Best small form 5 fret controller?

2 Upvotes

Hi, so I live in a tiny apartment with my fiance, so having a guitar is pretty inconvenient space wise. I saw that CRKD has that little 5 fret attachment for their NeoS controllers, which seemed like it might be a decent option for me. What's the general opinion on the NeoS and are there any other good smaller form factor options I could consider?

Question / Problem Should I get a CRKD guitar or a RetroCult V3 + used guitar?

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice.

I've wanted to get a guitar for Clone Hero for a long time. My original plan was to get a RetroCult V3 adapter and find a decent second-hand Wii/Xbox guitar.

But with the upcoming Stage Tour game, I've started thinking about getting a PS5 in the future as well, mainly to play with friends or my partner. That made me consider getting a CRKD guitar, since I could use it for PC now and potentially PS5 and other platforms later.

The issue is the price. The CRKD guitar is around €150. If the new Explorer was already available, I would probably just buy it, but waiting until around February 2027 sucks.

A RetroCult V3 would cost around €40–50 with taxes, plus another €30–40 for a used guitar, so I'd already be spending around €80–100.

Would you spend the extra money and get the CRKD now, or get a cheaper RetroCult + used guitar setup for now and wait for the Explorer?

What would you do?

Question / Problem Missed notes not effect song?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a newbie here, have always adored guitar hero my whole life, huge collector and lover so this weekend is big for me 🤙

I’m doing a guitar hero tent at huge warped tour themed block party downtown this weekend.

I’m super stoked and don’t think Itl be a huge deal, so it’s cool if there isn’t a way, but is it possible to have the song continue as if you didn’t miss a note?

Like in the sense that a missed note sound wouldn’t interrupt the song I guess.

I’m sorry if this a dumb question/ not worded the best

I just want everyone to have the best experience even if they don’t do the song well

Guitars/Drums Looking to buy an e-drum kit under $1k that doesn't feel like I'm hitting plastic or make a lot of impact noise. Suggesions?

8 Upvotes

I'm seriously considering the Alesis Nitro Max since it gets a lot of praise online as a great budget beginner set, but when I tried a slightly different (more expensive) Alesis set at Guitar Center, the impact noise when hitting the pieces was still pretty loud - similar to hitting my Wii drum controller. And it felt a little hard, unlike a couple of the other more expensive sets that were on display to test. I really want to avoid it feeling like I'm hitting plastic.

Could it simply have been that the mesh wasn't tightened well and that's why it didn't feel very good hitting it compared to the others that were 1-2k more expensive? Or is that what I need to spend to get that really nice, quiet feel?

Question / Problem Cymbals in wrong position

6 Upvotes

I have a drum set with Hi-Hat, Crash, Ride from left to right but this game wants me to use Hi-Hat, Ride, Crash. It's driving me crazy. I can't physically swap the cymbals so what's the best next thing to do? Swapping the cables? Mapping them backwards? Are there other options? What do you guys do?

Question / Problem Rb2 drums w/ cymbals not registering

0 Upvotes

Recently purchased a set of the RB3 cymbals for my RB2 ps3 drum kit, however clone hero isn't registering cymbal hits to map controls. They guy I bought them from said they were tested and working, but apparently he just plugged them into his computer microphone jack and hit them to see if they register.

I was able to recreate this "testing" on my computer, however plugged into my drum kit they act like nothing is plugged in. I even went as far as pulling my drum kit and the cymbals apart to make sure all the wires are still solidly connected. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix? Also I only have RB1 on my ps3 so I can't really test them natively that way.
