GHLiveBLE

GHLiveBLE lets you play rhythm games (like Clone Hero) with the Guitar Hero Live iOS Bluetooth controller on your MacOS and Windows 10 computers. Linux version coming soon! 

The official Guitar Hero Live iOS app was pulled from the App Store in June 2018, leaving no way to play other games with this Bluetooth controller. The app acts as a bridge between the controller and your computer, registering all controller buttons as keypresses or gamepad keys. All you need to do is map these keys to your rhythm game and pair with the controller to start playing!

• Up to 4 Guitar Hero Live Bluetooth controllers are now supported simultaneously (currently only supported on MacOS)

• No extra drivers or dongles to configure or plug into your computer, instantly pair and go!

We are currently undergoing testing of controller input rate on Windows to determine how fast the controller can emit input events.

System requirements:

• Onboard  Bluetooth 4.0+ / USB Bluetooth 4.0+ dongle 
  (required for Guitar BluetoothLE connection)
• Windows 10 / MacOS (10.13+)

Mapped Buttons

• Frets 1 - 6
• Strum Up / Down buttons
• Hero Power button
• GHTV button
