'''''Rock Band 3''''' is a music video game, and the third main game in the Rock Band series. Harmonix Music Systems is the primary developer for the game, with additional development by Backbone Entertainment on the Wii and DS versions. The game is published and distributed by MTV Games and Electronic Arts, respectively. As with previous games in the series, Rock Band 3 allows players to simulate the playing of rock music and other genres using special instrument controllers mimicking lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals. Rock Band 3 expands upon previous games by including three-part vocal harmonies—previously used in The Beatles: Rock Band and Green Day: Rock Band—and support for a keyboard instrument, a MIDI-compatible 25-key unit.

== Problems ==
== Emulation Information ==
=== Sound is a little delayed ===
=== Online Play ===
Sound may initially be delayed, this can be corrected via the Rock Band configuration options.
Official servers are still up, once [https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/wii-network-guide/ Dolphin is set up for online play] on official servers. A original NAND dump is needed, mainly for serial number and already online activated profile. Even though all online functionalities works (playing, leaderboards, score posting, etc) the music store doesn't, believed to be due to some error with the Wii Shop Channel.


=== Menu Errors ===
=== Menu Framerate/Audio Issues ===
The menu is laggy.
The Main Menu for the game can lag and have audio stutter even when Dolphin is running full-speed.  This is normal, and actually happens on console as well.


=== Madcatz Pro Guitar Adapter ===
=== Microphone Input ===
The Rock Band 3 Fender Squier Guitar is partially functional. All Wii game keys on adapter and guitar are able to be bound, fret sensing and string plucking are able to be bound, but unable to be interpreted as the appropriate pro instrument in game.
Microphone reported to work as of Dolphin {{revision|5.0-2428}} with [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=USB_Passthrough USB Passthrough support via USBdk] and white-listing Rock Band Logitech USB microphone in Dolphin Configuration.


=== Keyboard ===
== Problems ==
No support for the keyboard accessory or the keyboard pro adapter.
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== Microphone Crashes ===
Dolphin often crashes when running the game with the microphone added to the list.


=== Low FPS ===
}}}}
In-game the FPS is only 30, this can be corrected by enabling "Use FPS for limiting".
