It's almost done!!
The battery on my dremel-like tool died so I can't finish smoothing out the edges, but I did a test fit on the broken controller I bought to use for parts and I love it! It's such a small thing, but when I put this on my main controller and replace the neck, the main controller is going to look like a plastic replica of my main guitar. Even seeing this parts-controller has me grinning ear to ear!

Life took some turns so progress has been slow while life events took priority, but I'm finally back at this project! So far I've verified my dremel-like tool can cut through the pickguard material, but it's kind of slow. To make things easier on myself, I got out my cordless drill and used its largest bit to drill a bunch of holes along the pickguard's outline. This is going to be so cool when it's done!

Fixed automounting a network share (via SMB) on my Bazzite install by noticing I was using a mix of capital and lowercase letters for the same folder, once I made it all the same it's working! And hey, YARG has zero issues running with a song library hosted off of my NAS!
Next up is importing songs from the RB3DX setup I had on my 360, but it's almost 6 AM and I should probably get some sleep at some point...

Whether I get this working and move the HTPC to the basement or not, I did have a thought: I should make a folder on my NAS for my YARG song collection, then point the game to that share. That way I can add to it from another PC instead of having to use a mouse and keyboard on my living room floor.
I'm taking a break to calm down right now, but this might be a good idea in the future..
Had a weird audio issue with YARG on Bazzite, one where the sound would randomly cut out for a second every few minutes, but it's fixed!!
From searching, the first step was to increase audio buffer in-game. I played with this and it helped a little, but in the end I left it at 300. [1/2]
It snowed today, so I skipped out on going to a cover band playing in town. Instead I got YARG set up on my HTPC running Bazzite and confirmed the game can load new custom songs. I also fumbled through configuring my guitar controller and confirmed it works. Currently I'm downloading a copy of my Rock Band 3 DLC to this PC, then I'm going to scan the songs in and have fun!
I may just switch to this "Yet Another Rhythm Game" thing in the future. My gaming PC/HTPC is still technically running Win10 whenever I power it back on... When I stop putting off choosing a Linux distro for gaming and set it up, it looks like I should be set to use it for this purpose. It looks like I should be able to use my official Rock Band DLC and customs with minimal conversions as well?
