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

Madcatz Pro Guitar Adapter

Rock band 3 Fender Squier Guitar partially functional, all wii game keys on adapter and guitar are able to be binded, fret sensing and string plucking are able to be binded, not able to be interpreted as the appropriate pro instrument in game.

Keyboard

No support for the keyboard accessory or the keyboard pro adapter.

Low FPS

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

r6561 Windows 7 x64 AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.7GHz ATI Radeon HD 5770 Black band members, Menu laggy, fwrite errors in menu, in-game (solo)=great!
r6569 Windows 7 x64 AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.7GHz ATI Radeon HD 5770 Menu laggy, fwrite errors in menu, in-game (solo)=great! Rock Band 3 (Wii) on Dolphin Emulator (720p)
r6591 Windows 7 x64 AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.7GHz ATI Radeon HD 5770 Great! Menu is laggy...
r7330 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i3-530 @ 3.2GHz nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ Menu renders at 7-10 fps, massive audio and video lag makes it difficult to calibrate, in game FPS is usually 35-40. It's playable but at times the lag makes controller presses happen far later than the physical button is hit...practice is smooth though. TehMinja1134
r7419 Windows 7 x86 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz ATI Radeon HD 3870 Starting menu lags a lot. Main menu renders quite faster (~20fps). Playing a song is great (60 fps), sometimes it drops to 55-57 fps but I don't even notice it. KrlzGmz
r7461 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i3 540 @ 3.06GHz ATI Radeon HD 5670 Playable. Freezes at strap screen, but just press A or 2 when it freezes and it works fine. Menu goes under 10FPS, songs are 55-60FPS (but luckily this game isn't picky about lag and syncs the music anyway). Using wired guitar requires 167ms calibration. Controller works fine on all difficulties. Black band members. DO NOT enable "Limit by FPS"! Fishaman P
r7689 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.1GHz nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ Great! Black band members. Menu is laggy... djlastnight
3.0-201 Windows 7 x64 i5-2500K @ 4.6GHz ATI Radeon HD 6950 Black band members, laggy menu, stuttering gameplay (despite enabling "limit by FPS"). Game had trouble picking up quick successive notes on both the GH World Tour guitar and drumset. Unplayable for difficulties hard and expert. Extreme audio and video calibration needed.
