What is Clone Hero?
Clone Hero is an instrument-based rhythm game for playing guitar and drum charts on a PC. It supports 5-fret and 6-fret guitar controllers, MIDI drum kits, gamepads and a keyboard, so a guitar controller is not required to begin. The control mapper lets you rebind inputs and calibrate axes such as tilt and whammy. Some controllers still need drivers or other software before Windows can read their inputs.
Regular mode keeps scores locally without requiring an account and is the mode to use for co-op, Versus or online play. Leaderboards mode is a separate single-player Quickplay option: it requires a CH Leaderboards account to submit scores and displays chart rankings during play. It does not support multiplayer score submissions.
You can expand the song library with compatible custom charts. Extract each song into its own folder, keep its chart, audio and song.ini files together, and run Scan Songs in the game settings after adding content. Downloading an audio track alone does not supply a playable chart. This entry links to the publisher’s standalone Windows 64-bit ZIP for v1.1.0.6142, not the separate Clone Hero Launcher.

Good to know
