About Helen Joan Casper
Expertise
Ever since I played "Pong" in the early 80's, I've been a video game aficionado. I can answer hardware & games questions about PSP (PlayStation Portable), all PlayStation (1,2,& 3), Wii, Wii Fit, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo, Gameboy/Gameboy Advance, and antiquated systems (ColecoVision, Atari, Sega, etc). I can answer hardware questions about all systems (including PS1 - PS3, Wii, NES, SNES, PSP, DS, GBA, GB, Xbox and Xbox 360). I can also answer PC game questions, especially CounterStrike: Source, Vampire: Bloodlines, Half-Life 1&2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and all Sims & Sims 2 questions. I am ESPECIALLY knowledgeable in Square-Enix (formerly SquareSoft) games such as ALL the Final Fantasy games (I can even tell you really obscure things about these games). If I haven't played the game yet I will research it and help you find the answer, renting the game if necessary. I can even answer questions dealing with the consoles themselves (hardware questions). I cannot answer questions about Action Replay. I cannot answer questions about football, basketball, or wrestling sports games. I also have very limited knowledge about Xbox & Xbox 360 games unless they are cross-platform. If it is an independent game that has not been widely published and/or a game only released in some countries, I may not be able to help with it either (sadly!)

Experience
I am also an expert here in games/roleplaying games, weddings, childbirth, and doulas. My husband is a computer programmer and one of the forefront coders for CounterStrike: Source scripts & mods. He has his own forums for coders/scripters at Mattie.Info. I have been an expert here since 2000 (under the name of Helen Chipman) and also volunteer on numerous other game-related websites and forums.

Expert: Helen Joan Casper - 1/30/2008

Question
QUESTION: We have bought three different wireless guitars and none seem to work.  The game plays fine with the controllers. A friend said her cell phone would interfere in their home, but I have ruled that out.  

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.  My sons really wanna rock!

Regards,
Laura

ANSWER: Please answer the following questions so I can help you further.

1. What brand and type of wireless guitar are you using?
2. Have you tried using a non-wireless guitar?
3. What wireless interface are you using (i.e. what are you plugging into your PS2)?

Please let me know as much information as you can so I can help you further.

Thanks!
Helen =)

QUESTION: 1.The Kingmaker by psyclone and The Hammer, by the same company.
2. No, I couldn't find one.
3. The wireless card that comes with the guitars.

Thanks Helen.

Answer
Sadly, this brand of guitar has been known to be rife with problems. Thankfully, Psyclone does have customer service that you can contact to help you.

Taken from their website:
http://www.psyclonegamer.com/support/#Guitars0

"My Guitar is not connecting to my console, what should I do?

The first thing you should do is make sure you have fresh batteries in your guitar. If that is the case:

# Re-plug your receiver into the console
# Flip the guitar switch 'ON'
# Holding the guitar close to the receiver, hit the 'CONNECT' button on both the guitar and on the receiver.

If you have further problems please do contact us at customerservice@psyclonegamer.com "

Since Psyclone's guitars use their connections- both to the PS2 and to the guitars themselves, the company themselves would be the first (and best) place to contact. =)

Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.

Best wishes,
Helen =)
