Guitar Hero 3 [PC] Questions

Well It's been a while posting here and right now would be the right time to ask this question. I'm not sure if this is supposed to go in the software section so I'll put it in general to be safe. Anyways, I've wanted an alternative to FoFiX and Guitar Hero 3 [PC] intrigued me for custom songs support. But I don't want to waste my money. So here are my questions.

1. This is a silly question but on amazon I've found that you can buy the standalone disk for $3.50 with the new and used deals. But I don't know if this is some insecure product not sold by the company.

2. If I run the game, will it work with my playstation 3 guitar hero 5 controller? I've read posts about controllers not functioning with the game so I don't know if I'd receive any bugs. I want the controller to work without software like xpadder and joy2key if possible.

3. I've read the specs and they seem to work for my pc. But I'm concerned if it won't run on windows 7. Also my processor isn't 2.8GHz, it's 2.67GHz. Is that ok since it's an i5 processor and it's a quad core?

4. Are customs outdated? I don't want to be redirected to a thread with software that has broken software links.

5. What is the best guide for installing customs on GHIII [PC]?

6. Will adding customs require any hardware mods to my pc (I know that you have to mod your playstation or xbox to get customs on those too.)

If you got through all of that thank you for the support. I really hope I can have a great guitar hero custom song engine!

3. it runs on windows 7 and your processor looks like it'll easily handle the game

4. customs aren't that outdated--there are a lot of broken links but there is a thread dedicated to reposting customs. there are still a lot of customs available

5. these are the best guides:

3. It works on Windows 7. I'm pretty sure it'll go smoothly on your PC. You can also disable the crowd in the options, making it run better.

Thanks for your feedback! But I poorly said my outdated customs question plus I have just spawned another.

1. When I mean outdated, I'm referring to software (I'll get all my songs from frets on fire

) Basically, I want to know if all the necessary software won't have broken links. Also, I want to know if it's compatible with the latest patch of the game.

2. Now when I hear about my PS3 guitar not working, do you mean it won't work by plug and play or will it not work by plug and play or using software like xpadder and joy2key?
