Guitar Hero hack takes cheating to ridiculous new levels

We've already seen one hack to automate Guitar Hero, but it had the slight disadvantage of having to be pre-programmed for each song, and even then it was slightly hit-and-miss. Now, a father looking for a way to finally beat his son at the game has taken things considerably further, with his hack actually using the composite video input to determine which notes need to be hit in real time. That, as you might have guessed, is way beyond any notion of practicality, and far outside the realm of the average DIYer's skill level, but it seems like it does indeed work, although there are apparently a few minor kinks left to be worked out. If you're still not undaunted, you can find the schematics and other information you'll need at the link below, and check out a video of the setup in action after the break.

INT. DAY

FATHER and SON playing Guitar Hero. FATHER is not plucking any keys while son struggles away.

SON: DAD! You're doing it wrong!

FATHER begins receiving perfect score from TV.

FATHER: Oh really?

SON watches for a few moment, as enlightenment begins to dawn.

SON: Oh, I see what you did there.

Not to be a grammar nazi, I know this is a technology blog, but you guys really need an editor.

Reminds me of a old saying
" Youth and vigor will never overcome old age and treachery"

I'm sick of hearing people in Guitar Hero and Rock Band threads saying things about playing real guitar.

I play Guitar Hero, and Rock Band, and even Donkey Konga... if I turned 360 degrees in my chair, I'd see about $2500 worth of real guitar stuff.
