Tested both BLES02180 & BLUS31556

Hi 🙂 

I'm trying to play Guitar Hero Live (BLES02180), 

I would like to report that 1 month ago the game was launching whereas now in latest 0.0.19 and 0.0.20 it doesn't start anymore. It gets stuck on "Building SPU Cache". 

In the mean time, i'm sticking with 0.0.19.13068 because the game can launch. However, despite the fact that the guitar is working properly in the menu, I can't get past the tutorial as if it was not detecting the frets i'm pressing 


Here is a summary:
0.20.13138: Not running. Stuck at compiling the cache before the game opens.
0.0.19-13137 Not running. Stuck at compiling the cache before the game opens.
0.0.19-13068 it runs. Stuck at tutorial when it says to press a frets.


PS: I'm using the real guitar

Any help would be appreciated

I did some bisecting, and found out that:

* Build 0.0.18-12918 (#11049) introduced a new I/O configuration option to explicitly enable GH Live guitar emulation, which then makes it so Pad #1 (and optionally #2) is now the guitar controller (as opposed to #7).  This probably explains why you got stuck at the tutorial.

* Build 0.0.19-13135 (#11304) apparently broke SPU compilation in the manner you observed.  No idea why.  The previous build, 0.0.19-13134, works perfectly.

I say "perfectly" because I can get in game and everything seems to work, but for me audio stops playing as I start the tutorial.
