Why not use it to play games on your Mac? Chris Breen explains how. Use a game controller with your Mac. DualShock 4 controller for two-player games. I rarely use the second controller.
Hi there, this is the updated tutorial of how to use an xbox 360 controller with your mac! (updated as of 1. Feb 2013) Simply make sure you have a working installation of at least version 0.11 of the 360 drivers on your Mac. You can download them from here If you have a third party 360 gamepad download this file: Extra Gamepads Installer (Adds 65 third party devices to the supported list). Open the.command file (you might need to right click on the file and select 'Open' to avoid annoying GateKeeper stuff) and enter your admin password when prompted. Your password is not displayed when you type just press enter once you have typed it in and the script will run.
Installing the driver will add support for the 360 gamepad and a few others. Running the script will add 65 third party gamepads and fight sticks. I don't offer any guarantees (neither do Feral) for the script but it seems to work well so far. If the pad is picked up by the drivers it should work in most/all games that support gamepads.
OK, I'm part way there on the 360 controller Open up Xbox 360 controller driver, Hit a few keys to see if it works. Then open up gamepad companion, and then select on the left hand pane Microsoft Xbox 360 Wired/Wireless Controller. Depending on what game you wish to play you set the keys to different buttons Say if u want the RB on the controller to be say L on the key, in Gamepad Companion you press the RB on the controller and then there should be a Title that says no action then click on the drop down menu select single key then type in say L then click start and it will start emulating the letter L when you press RB Reply with Questions im Happy to Help All the Best/QUOTE Jamie - I'm a newbie taking you up on your offer of help.
I've followed all your directions and all seems fine - mapped all the keys etc, get movement on the screen etc. However, when I go in to play a game (Wall-e I'm afraid), the computer only responds from the mouse. Is there something else I need to toggle to get it to listed to the controller?? Im running off a G5 Powermac BTW Txs.
