So I recently found my old PS3 in a storage tote in the garage with a Guitar hero controller & game, but alas no dongle.

 

A quick visit to trademe, ebay and amazon proved that finding this little thing would either be impossible or very expensive.

 

So I thought to myself, why cant I make one from an old usb and some PCB etc, a quick google left me empty handed.

 

 

 

Here I am now asking if anyone has any experience in this area and knows if it can be done?

Yeah, I saw a comment somewhere saying the dongles match the guitars etc, which seems really stupid. Also not a standard bluetooth connection which throws things into more of a mess :(
