Xbox 360 Controller Emulator Mac Os X

Xbox 360 Controller Emulator Mac Os XMac

I had this running in a previous version of OS X, but then it stopped working (operating system update made the driver non-functional). I spent some time Google-ing around, but it was hard finding something due to all the information out there being for PC.
This is apparently completely doable on a PC (as described here, for example)
But not as easy on a Mac. Searching Google did little for me… except that I found this cool thing (http://multicursor-wm.sourceforge.net/). Download os el capitan. I had no idea you could do that.

  • A lightweight and easy-to-install driver for the wired and wireless Xbox 360 controller that will help you use the controller on your Mac What's new in Xbox 360 Controller Driver 1.0.0 Alpha 6: This is the final release of 360Controller (barring some big issue with the creation of this release).
  • Use an Xbox 360 Controller on OS X (wired + Wireless): I picked up Borderlands 2 for OS X in the recent Steam sale because friends of mine would NOT shut up about the game. So I fired it up only to find out that I needed to use a keyboard (lots of keys) + a mouse (carpal tunnel = no) to play.

Nevertheless, now that I have multiple controllers working on a Mac I feel obligated to throw my solution into the mix.
Perhaps this will help someone looking for answers via Google.

Download and install the 360Controller 0.14 driver first: https://github.com/d235j/360Controller/releases
This is an unofficial release driver, because the last one is no longer compatible with newer Mac OS’s. I found out via this reddit post, and here.
It’s stable for me, and I’m not getting any errors, so it’s recommendable.

Once installed open “System Preferences”, and at the very bottom you’ll see “Xbox 360 Controllers”

I mostly play source games soo.yeah. I want to play gmod with my wired xbox 360 controller but I don't know how. The reason I want to use it is because my mouse has a annoying double click so it double fires in Trouble In Terrorist Town. Either buy a “Microsoft XBox 360 wireless controller for Windows” bundle (app. $40) or, in case you have XBox 360 controllers laying around, just get the “Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows” (app. In this article I intend to play games under Steam on a Mac, on MacOS X Yosemite , by using this controller.

You’ll know it works when it detects the controller and displays controller-ish things.

So that’s easy enough, but I need to have multiple controller to develop and test against. So doing some digging I found Vivid Machine’s Controllers app. It’s actually FREE in the App Store.

You can find the download link on the website here (again, in the AppStore it’s free): https://vividmachine.com/controllers/

Open the program (in Applications folder), and you’ll know it works when it shows controller-ish buttony things.

And done!

Now that I have it working, I’ll be able to use & fully enjoy the GameInput. This is also included in the Adobe Gaming SDK.
I’ve gotten quite a bit of mileage out of it. I quite like the SDK.
At any rate… I think this setup will get me far enough until I’m ready to have this thing running on an actual console.

I also found this wonderful GameInputTester on github, and it indicates that it does work:

Interestingly enough Adobe’s Game Input Control also works in the browser (source)
I quote: Nox player 99 stuck mac.

“The GameInput classes absolutely work in the browser. Support has been there since Flash Player 11.8 (in beta), then officially added with 11.9.”

I did not know this. That’s pretty nice.

Clover el capitan. If anybody else finds this post, and knows of a better way of doing this, please share! I’d love to know.
