Forewarning for wall of text and also recommending you join the Milohax discord for more info. Link on their website. rb3dx.neocities.org/ This is Rock Band 3 (Deluxe) being played on a PlayStation 3 using a Roland TD-17KVX E-drum kit and using the Mad Catz Midi Pro Adapter (MPA) to connect it to the console. Rock Band 3 is available on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii. But it is also possible to play it on PC with the RPCS3 emulator. And we usually try and steer people towards either Xbox 360 or RPCS3, as the game works best on those systems. Rock Band 3 Deluxe (RB3DX) is a fan made mod by Milohax that significantly upgrades the user experience in more ways than I can list here. The only catch is that RB3DX on console requires the console itself to be modded. So a CFW / HEN PS3, RGH / JTAG Xbox 360 or a modded Wii (I'm not super informed on the Wii modding process, I just know the game runs like trash on Wii. So avoid it if you can) But if you are using RPCS3 than none of that matters and you can just load the mod very easily by default. For the drum kit and interface you can use the official Midi Pro Adapter if you can somehow get your hands on one for cheap. But it's pretty unlikely as they sell for quite a bit now. You can use something else called the Roll Limitless, which mirrors all of the same functions of the midi pro adapter (as well as fixing several bugs the originals had) and can be had for about $100. If you're using an MPA you can only use E-drum modules that have 5 pin MIDI out. However if you're using a Roll Limitless the kits module only needs to support MIDI USB. (But it can also use 5 pin MIDI) And once again, if you're playing on RPCS3 you don't need either adapter and the emulator now fully supports USB MIDI by default! The console is connected to an HDMI splitter where one end goes to my monitor and the other goes to my capture card (EVGA XR1 Lite). I can then capture the game in OBS and use a filter to select only the highway and the score. And then overlay that on my camera shot. It's all pretty complicated and I'm not great at explaining the process but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

@@Shaulaise7 niceee hey Wanna play online someday?

[@Shaulaise7]

​@@other.rbdrumer Maybe! Hardware doesn't tend to play nice with Ash Central but I can try setting it up.

[@other.rbdrumer]

​@@Shaulaise7 yeah, you need an ethernet cable for it to work decently

[@SaaifKhan888]

Awesome job, do you mind sharing your setup? It looks like it works really well

@@Shaulaise7 Fantastic reply and summary. This is super helpful and I'm sure anyone else who comes across this will find it useful. I almost have the exact same setup as you, but for some reason I get major slowdowns running RB3 on RPCS3, even with an RTX 3070 and a 3700X, making it almost unplayable at times. You are playing on an actual CFW PS3? For anyone who comes across this, yes, the Wii version does run like trash, even with Dolphin and especially on real hardware. Don't do it. I am also using the official MIDI Pro Adapter, but I guess the Roll Limitless is what I need since the system does not seem to be able to process notes fast enough from my TD-17. Are you not experiencing this with your Midi Pro Adapter? Those are the two major problems I am having with my setup. Thanks for much for the detailed reply to, I really appreciate it!

[@Shaulaise7]

@@SaaifKhan888 Well I'm running a HEN PS3, because the PS3 I have can't use CFW. But yeah basically. With specs like that you shouldn't be seeing slowdowns basically at all, especially with a processor with AVX-512 support. I would check your settings against the Milohax guide here. hmxmilohax.github.io/rb3-pc/english/intro/ The MPA doesn't have an input limit on rb3 so that one I'm less sure about. Is the dial turned up? Mine is basically at maximum. But again, newest versions of RPCS3 should have built in MIDI support, so you wouldn't need either the MPA or Roll Limitless. Just a USB cable from the module.

Why no pedal??

[@Shaulaise7]

I screwed up the camera angle so it doesn't really show the kick pad. The long orange notes are all kicks. I'm looking into a separate kick pad camera!
