RCM V3 – PC Games

ByLaunchables

Game Setup

Now that you’ve installed your RetroCultMods V3 Adapter, we can setup games!

Please click on the game you’ll be playing in dropdown menu below:

Fortnite Festival

Keyboard Mode

When plugging in your guitar, press and hold the GREEN button.

This will put your guitar into keyboard mode, where your inputs will be assigned to the default Fortnite Festival Pro Lead Keyboard settings:

  • 1-5 for frets
  • Right Ctrl & Right Shift for strum
  • Forward Slash (/) for whammy
  • Page Down for overdrive

Note that you will have to control your menus/character movement with keyboard & mouse/other controller, but once you load into the Festival game mode, the guitar will function as intended!
Have fun!

RB4 Guitar Mode

When plugging in your guitar, press and hold the SELECT/-(minus) button. (pictured) This will put your guitar into RB4 Guitar mode, mimicking how a legacy Rock Band 4 controller would work on console.

This will let you control the Fortnite menus, but you will still need to control your character’s movement with keyboard & mouse/other controller.

Have fun!
