Guitar Hero II Deluxe 360

Xbox 360 Guitar Hero II Deluxe 360 running on PC through native. Free and complete.

How this port works

This is a native port: the game was rebuilt to run as a real PC program with no emulator in the loop. That usually means better performance, arbitrary resolution and mod support — and it is why these run well on modest hardware.

Frequently asked

Do I need the original game to play Guitar Hero II Deluxe 360 on PC?

No. Guitar Hero II Deluxe 360 is free and complete: download the release and run it, with no ROM, dump or commercial game copy.

What does "native" mean?

This is a native port: the game was rebuilt to run as a real PC program with no emulator in the loop. That usually means better performance, arbitrary resolution and mod support — and it is why these run well on modest hardware.

Will Guitar Hero II Deluxe 360 run on a low-end PC?

Native ports and recompilations skip CPU emulation entirely, so they are usually far lighter than an emulator for the same console. With no published measurement for this project, though, any estimate would be guesswork — test it on your own machine.

Which systems does it support?

The current release (3.6.0-Alpha) ships builds for Windows. The game originally shipped on Xbox 360.

Is it legal to use?

The project is public and open source, maintained by hmxmilohax, and contains nothing from the commercial game. Responsibility for the game copy you use is yours — which is why the developers require you to supply your own.
