I had nothing to do with making this game! I just love to play it.

This is where you get the PS2-CD32/Amiga adapters from http://www.youtube.com/user/paulwillingham4d79

You can also get an adapter from  http://www.synthdreams.com/psx64.php from the guys who made Shredz64 for the C64.

Ps. Tracker Hero Rocks. Its hard on a keyboard so I am gonna get me a guitar

THIS ADAPTER DOES NOT WORK WITH TRACKER HERO!!!

This adapter ONLY works as a 1-button joystick when used with an Amiga. DO NOT BUY IT FOR TRACKER HERO.

It works with Shredz64 on the Commodore 64, but WILL NOT WORK WITH A GUITAR CONTROLLER ON THE AMIGA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry if I seem a bit upset by this but I've had to put up with so many people telling me that this Shredz64 adapter should work with Tracker Hero, only to have to explain to them that it doesn't sent CD32 signals, only a proper PS2-CD32 adapter like Paul Willingham's or the Appe project on Aminet will work.

If you would like to build the adapter yourself, here are the instructions - http://aminet.net/package/docs/hard/appe_v32

I guess people don't even read the thread, this has already been discussed.

THE SHREDZ64 ADAPTER DOES NOT WORK WITH TRACKER HERO!!!

If you all wait a few more weeks AmigaManiac.com will be selling the correct, fully-compatible adapter based on Paul Willingham's design. I don't know if it's such a good idea to contact Paul for an adapter anymore since he will probably be busy with the first batch of 50 PIC chips which will be used in the bulk lot of adapters that are being made for AmigaManiac.com.

I really hope someone who already has the correct PS2-CD32 adapter can donate it for use at the games competition at AmiWest, Tracker Hero is a great game to play with a group of people, and if you guys bring your kids along they'll almost certainly know how to play it straight away and hopefully have fun with it too.

The Shredz64 adapter can only emulate a 1-button joystick, so I'm guessing it either uses some data-polling which is interpreted by the Shredz64 game as the different buttons, or it remaps each of the buttons to a direction on the stick. It would probably be possible to write support for the interface into Tracker Hero but until it's directly supported, it won't work.
