Guitar Hero:WT Guitar Problem

Snapzi — Wed, 06 May 2009 10:13:39 +0800

Dear All,

I just bought a Guitar Hero World Tour band where it comes with guitar, drum and mic for the Nintendo Wii. However, I find that the guitar have some problem. It will auto strum notes even thou I am not playing it. At times when I'm strumming some notes, suddenly in between the notes it will auto strum. I know it auto strum because I can hear a 'miss' strum noise or my multiplier suddenly goes to zero when I'm not doing anything.

I have exchange for a new guitar but the problem still exists. Is it because of the sensor pad which is too sensitive due to heat or should I just exchange a new guitar?

I googled some other forums where there are different explanations such as strummer problem, the sensor over sensitive due to heat and etc.

Is there anyone of you who could help me out as I do not have time to keep traveling to Sungei Wang from Kota Damansara daily to exchange a new guitar which might face the same problem again? Are there any possibilities that some of you people can share your experience on this issue?

It will be great to have some feedback from you and thanks in advance.

Cheers.

Game Cinematics Problem

Snapzi — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:38:29 +0800

The following is the spec of my PC:

Gigabyte EP-DS3
Intel 8400 Processor
Asus 4870 DK 1gb ddr5
Kingston 2gb x 2 RAM
Silverstone ST56F PSU
Windows XP Pro O/S

I wanted to play NFS:Undercover. The game can run properly but when it reaches the cinematics it displays artifacts. However, if i alt+tab the cinematics can be seen but if it loaded another cinematics i have to alt+tab again.

I have tried downloading the required codecs, reformat the pc, installing latest drivers and so on but problem not solved. Would anyone of you mind enlighten me on the problem whether it is software or hardware problem?

Thanks in advance.

Please suggest and review..thanks!

I am looking forward to custom my first desktop. Please suggest and review. Budget preferably 2500-3000 or max 3500 if needed. The purpose is for gaming and downloading movies and will be on 24/7. I won't be doing crossfire or overclocking.

Should I go for AMD or Intel. The AMD looks cheap and good

Processor : AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+
Motherboard: Asus M3A78-EM
RAM: Kingston PC 800 d2 2gb x 2
HDD: W.D. 640gb
Graphic Card: Gigabyte 1gb d5 HD4870
Power Supply: CM Real Power 650W?

Price should be around RM 2636 for above.

OR

Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Motherboard : Gigabyte EP-43-DS3.
RAM: Kingston PC 800 d2 2gb x 2
HDD: W.D. 640gb
Graphic Card: Gigabyte 1gb d5 HD4870
Power Supply: CM Real Power 650W?

Price should be around 3096 for above.

Oh I need a DVDRW drive as well. What brand should I go for? Any comment on the PSU as well? Is the current PSU good and sufficient or should I go for Silverstone 1000w?

I only need a CPU as i have monitor from my previous desktop. Thanks and hear from all sifus soon.
