360's Guitar Hero II guitar works in Windows, Frets on Fire

From joystiq.com:
[QUOTE]
The USB-equipped X-plorer guitar that ships with the just-released Guitar Hero II for Xbox 360 has some interesting tricks up its nonexistant but metaphorically convenient sleeve. Randy tipped us off that the guitar controller works in Windows Vista, but we had to check for ourself. This image was captured in Windows XP.

Of course, we quickly fired up freeware PC clone, Frets on Fire, to see if we could manage to get these two to play nicely together. Sure enough, after a minute of changing the control configuration, we were able to rock out! Unfortunately, while Mac OS X recognized the device immediately, it failed to be detected as an HID-compliant gamepad by either GamePad Companion or the open source Xbox 360 Controller driver.

I am running windows xp home edition with the 95065 model guitar and confirms this definately works:
To clear up the vague intructions go to in Frets on Fire
Main Menu/Settings/Key Settings/ then just go to fret one press Return(default control) then just press the green button on your X-plorer controller and repeat for the rest of the fret buttons and change the return button to the strum button on your controller and your set. Hope this helps
Does anyone know how to get more songs into this game? or how to maybe make them? any help would be apprieciated
