Not sure if anyone heard of Frets on Fire. I usually play it when I get bored of something.

Its basically like Guitar Hero on the PC, but you can make songs, customize the menu, anything.

http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/

It's open source too so no spyware/viruses here.

Frets on Lagg.

Yes.

It's not laggy, you have to setup your FPS. Like mine is on 60.

Sorry, not going to hold my keyboard that way.

Also, I don't have glasses.

been playing this game for quite a while got almost 5 gigs of songs for it

I didnt check out the site, but Is it pretty much FFR but with the letters instead of arrow keys?

(If you dont already now, FFR *Flash Flash Revolution* is like StepMania)
All of these are for the computer.

wow this game is awesome

been playing it for 2 hours straight, and first thing Ill do tomorrow will be playing this game. Im hooked, thanks

edit: and yep Im rocking with my keyboard like in the picture

Frets on fire: only for The Hardcore Players in the world who got some soul left from the devouring of the cyberspace

I read the guide on how to import songs, and it sounds really complicated, how did anyone else do it, 3 songs cant keep me entertained for long XD

It looks more complicated than it is

I just made 2 or 3 songs of my own and it works just fine.

note: when you use freetar you will have to set up your keys the first time you use it, and use the 'press button to record' mode under 'playback' to record songs easily.

alright makes enough sense, but when I go to open it in the second editor, I always get some strange error T_T
ever had that problem?

yeah thats the error (something about joysticks ) you get when you havnt set up the new key assignments yet

go to the options menu and assign new keys from your keyboard to the buttons needed and the next time you start the program you wont get an error.

hmm I think both shortcuts are for the same program, doesnt really matter I think, theire both called music editor and I didnt notice any differences.

Im not sure why you get that error, but make sure you click 'new song' and not 'open song', and make sure u used a mp3 song (now converted to ogg ofcourse) and not a converted wma song because that will fail.

your kidding right
agh I assumed you were supposed to open a song since the guide said open it
XD
I feel so nooby T_T
thanks for the help
p.s. love the gladiator mice!

lmao xD no problem, have fun!

oh god we actually have to place the notes on our own
XD this will take some practice

if anyone would be willing to share the songs they already made, when I master it I will return the favor

haha yeah, but if you use the 'press button to record' option in the 'playback' menu you can just play the song and record the notes by playing the desired keys to the song

if you have any other questions, you can always send me a PM, Ill be on tomorrow again. Im not a FoF pro though xD
