Game controller compatability
I have posted the same question on the 'How to use your iMac' forum so apologies if that was the wrong place - I think this is a more appropriate location
I have recently purchased a Logitech gaming wheel (Formula Force EX) for Colin Macrae Rally as it was seemingly the only wheel which claimed to be OSX compatible. The wheel works to a degree which is kind of what what was expecting although nothing like as limited as it is (90% of the game modes are not functioning). I was wondering if this situation would be improved any by playing through Windows 7 in Bootcamp ie. will I be able to download the wheels PC software and obtain the same functionality as if I were playing the game on a PC ?
This product will be officially be available in mid November. It will be featured in the coming CES Show. I will keep you update on the progress.
You may also send me email on the matter.

Will a usb game controller work on a HP ENVY with GE FORCE gaming
I have a new Hp Envy with the GE Force gaming installed . I want to use a standard usb game controller similar in design to the Xbox or Playstaion versions. Will a generic controller be compatable with the GE Force games ?
This question was solved.

Just make certain that it has drivers for the Windows version you plan on using.

What's the best game controller for a MacBook Pro?
I have a mid-2012, non-Retina, 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.5 Ghz i5 and 8 GB of RAM. My current OS is 10.9.1. I've played Starcraft 2 for some time without any problems, but there are a few newer games on the Mac App Store that look like they'd be no fun with a keyboard and mouse. I'm hoping people here have recommendations for the best game pads or controllers that are compatible with Mac.
Please let me know if you have a controller that works really well for you, thanks!I like the Logitech Gamepad F310 for games on my Mac. You're right new games are much better with a game controller!

I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.
May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers. -

Mac mini iPhone 6 game controller?
can i use my iPhone 6 as a game controller on my mac mini? such as racing games
I don't think I've done anything. Honestly we don't use the computer too much. I'm wondering if Image Capture 4.0 is an older version and maybe we had a recent update that made the program not work anymore.
If there is a way to use Image Capture, I'm all for that but not sure what to do. I will check out the other program after dinner! -
Game controller for MacBook Pro?
Are ANY game controllers made especially for Mac? I have tried the Logitech wired version and the Logitech Rumblepad 2 wireless version and neither seem to work with my G5. I even added USB Overdrive, which recognizes the Logitech controllers, and have tried to set the prefs in various games, but still cannot get them to work when the games launch. Seems like there ought to be some easy, plug-and-play game controller for Mac. Any advice? I am very computer literate, yet cannot seem to accomplish this very basic task: Hook up a game controller (that SAYS it works on Mac OS X) and get it to work. (I called Logitech tech support and they said the controllers should work on a Mac, but their driver software and their tech support do not support use on a Mac. Huh?)

Hi,
I am making a simple drum simulator, and yesterday I asked a question on how to play .wav files. I got that part of my program figured out, and I got it so it can take user input (through a keyboard) to simulate drum sounds.
Now I am asking if there is a way to use a game controller (preferably a rock band drum controller) as an input device. I've looked at the jinput API, but i don't know if it provides the functionality I am looking for.
Any help is greatly appreciated.endasil wrote:

Does anyone have anything on this?I've only just started looking at Jinput for a project of my own, but haven't tried much with it so far. It seems to be the standard Java controller library though. A while back I plugged one of my Xbox (non-360) controllers into my computer and it acted like a game controller. I then took a 360 Guitar hero controller and in my little test app (that was for linux) I could see that the frets were just buttons (non-surprisingly) and the wammy-bar was an axis. I would be surprised if your Rockband controller wasn't also just a typical controller with buttons, axes, etc mapped to the different drums, etc. I'd say that's almost definitely the case, in which case JInput would probably be what you want. You could then map a drum beat to when you sense a certain button on the controller being pushed.
Can't say much else than, try it and let us know how it goes.Ok, I'll try that and if I get it to work i'll report back here
thanks for your help -
Game controller inputs not registering
Hello all,
I have just purchased a Satellite A505-6300 Laptop. I am having trouble with a game controller; when I plug it into the USB port, the laptop recognizes the device as "PC USB Wired Stick 8838" and installs the drivers for it. However, when I test the controller, none of the inputs register. I have tried calibrating it as well, but the inputs are still not recognized.
I have used the same controller for another laptop running 64-bit Windows 7, and the inputs register fine. The controller is a Mad Catz Tournament Edition Fightstick for the Playstation 3. I have also gone to the manufacturer's website and don't see any additional drivers that need to be installed.
Would anyone know what the issue could be and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance,
MarcoIn that scenario you have to be alert to cheating.
The server should check the positions of the ships regularly to detect whether they may have moved to places they're not supposed to go to (so having an unnaturally high speed which hints at cheating) and things like that.
If you do damage calculation on the client as well you'll also have to check whether damage is indeed being dealt. Say one side sends a message shooting a laser at the location of another ship doing 1000 points of damage and the other sends back that no damage was done that might indicate a cheater as well (depending on your game of course, if there's shielding etc. and chances to miss...).
Maybe better to calculate such things serverside. -
Saitek P990 Game Controller not recognized by Toshiba L505D Laptop
Window 7 recognized the Saitek P990 Dual Analog Game Controller no PROBLEM, able to go into Properties Pad Test mode and move thumb doggles in Test Mode with no problem.
I believe it is The TOSHIBA USB Host Port Controller on my Satellite L505D- S9695 laptop not recognizing the devices. NOThing on Toshiba Download Categories for USB DEVICE DRIVERS ????? What Up with that ???USB drivers are included in WIndows and in the basic motherboard chipset driver package.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time. -
