How to install xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?

how to install wired xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?
i installed this driver
http://files.tattiebogle.net/360/360ControllerInstall.dmg
but is not working

@mtnbkr81,
So you are trying to use the wireless controller? All that I have read points to more reliability for the wired when using it on a computer. Perhaps you should save money for a wired one?
I also forgot to mention the installation procedures on the .11 version. My controller does get recognized but as a genereric controller. Not specific to xbox360. But you can try this:
-Uninstall the pref pant and the couple of other files that have been written to your MAC. Use the search on "controller"
-once deleted run the .11 version of tthe driver. MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLER IS NOT IN THE USB PORT.
-after the installation is complete open up preferences adn you should see an xbox360 option
-open it and then plug in the controller
-it should then get recognized. You may need to play with some of the options.

  • Using an XBox 360 controller with Mac mini

    Is it difficult to pair a 360 game controller to a Mac mini? I do most of my gaming with my iPad + Apple tv and it usually works fine, but Bioshock is Bioshock so I'm thinking of getting that and an XBox controller.

    Hello
    Maybe the controller is faulty.
    Have you tested it on your Xbox 360 and does it work?
    Can you also test another controller?

  • Wired xbox 360 controller with Mac (steam)

    I am new to steam but is there a way to have a 360 controller plug into your Mac via USB (do u need a special commuter controller or a adapter?) and use it to play games with steam? Also with steam can u plug in a 360 headset to talk or even get a Bluetooth for the computer to work with steam, any help would be great.

    This guy has made a great driver package that works with both the 360 wired and wireless+receiver controllers: http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver. After install, there's a preference pane in System Preferences which you can configure and test the controllers. However, the 360 wired headset (the one that plugs into the controller) doesn't work. I dunno about the wireless 360 headset (the one that directly connects to the receiver) but I imagine it wouldn't.
    As for other headsets with Steam, any microphone that the system recognizes will work. Go into Steam's settings and configure which mic you want to use with Steam. Unfortunately (this is my major annoyance with Valve's stuff on both Mac and Windows) you cannot configure voice to come through another speaker. So if your headset has a speaker, it won't be used. Voice will come out the same speakers as the game's sound. Annoying.

  • Wired xbox 360 controller used for PC

    I have tried literally everything I can think of, I searched it, and a resounding solution were these steps:
    1) Download the drivers from "Can't post links yet"
    2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don't run the drivers.  Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
    3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
    4) Right click the shortcut you created. Select properties. 
    5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode" ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
    6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
    7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager.  You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
         Continue only if you don't see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
    8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
    9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
    10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
    I have tried the steps in order countless times. tried many different compatability modes, and to no avail am I able to get the "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class" to show up. so I continue through the next 3 steps (8-10) and
    the option listed in step 10 is not available. and I have been trying to fix this since 7:00 AM this morning.....

    Hi,
    Are we download the driver from the following link?

  • I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac.

    I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac. I have installed the suggested driver and the program ControllerMate. The Mac sees the controller because it shows up and responds. The program ControllerMate also sees the controller and responds appropriately, but the game (Minecraft) doesn't. HAs anyone else cracked this nut or have advice?

    Try using the resetting SMC procedure
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    You may have done something similar already, but do it precisely as described.  You should disconnect ALL peripheral devices, except for Apple keyboard and mouse.
    Also, when you plug it back in, if the iMac is currently plugged into an old (or overcrowded) power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself. 

  • How do I use the Xbox 360 controller

    Hello,
    As everyone knows the XBOX 360 controller is the definitive controller for Windows gaming.
    I'm working on two projects now.  One in Flash and one in Unreal Engine.  I thought,"Wouldn't it be great to work on three projects at once."
    So the idea came to me that a comedic style hockey game could be made in Flash.  Flash is great for action games, and the P2P networking(thought could have been done better) is just sufficient to make a good multiplayer experience.
    I do not however want an action oriented hockey game without analog sticks.  I've gotten the XBOX 360 controller to work in C/C++ in a Tekken Style Open Wolrd Game, and it was great.  Where do I get the XBOX360 code to integrate them into a flash game?
    ,Jim

    The GameInput API's for Actionscript 3.0. You can get when you download and install the Adobe Gaming SDK, after that you would need to import the SWC.

  • Hooking up xbox 360 to my mac

    i was wondering if there was a way to hook up an xbox 360 to my mac so I can use the macbook pro's screen as a tv of sorts. I am in college and dont have a tv, nor want to cart my 360 to the lounge to hook it up. it would be easiest to hook it up to the macbook pro but i am not sure what cables are needed or how to go about doing it, if at all possible. feedback is appreciated

    In short form, the answer is no you dont want to do this. It is possible by using a tv type input or capture card which can either interface with usb or express card slot. The extreme downfall to doing this is there will be significant lag. Such as when you press a button on the controller for the character to shoot, you wont actually see it on the screen for over a second. The reason for this is the capture card has to convert the video signal into the something the computer can display, and this takes time. Again its possible, but the delay would make it impossible to play proficiently... My advise as a college student my self is to hit up a garage sale for a cheap tv to put in your dorm..

  • Xbox 360 controller works in mate desktop but not DWM?

    Hello,
    I just switched to DWM from mate desktop. I use my xbox 360 controller with steam home streaming. Worked perfectly under mate but it doesnt work at all in DWM.
    The xbox controller light is on in dwm and I can confirm it still works under mate. I tried installing xf86-input-joystick but no joy. (didnt need this under mate)
    Anyone know what makes this work in mate desktop or how to make it work in dwm?
    Many Thanks.
    PS: Don't know if it helps but my .xinitrc is just a copy of /etc/skel
    #!/bin/sh
    # ~/.xinitrc
    # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
    if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
    done
    unset f
    fi
    setxkbmap gb &
    exec dwm
    #exec mate-session

    I installed this driver:
    http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
    And now my MBP reliably recognizes the controller (evident by it showing me what commands it is receiving in the preference pane created by this driver), but I've found that getting an individual game to behave nicely with the controller is a whole other ball of wax...good luck.

  • Xbox 360 Controller not recognized by Macbook.

    I just bought an xbox 360 controller to play games with it while programing it through a software. When I first plug it in, the Mac recognizes the controller. If I unplug it and then plug it in again, the 360 controller lights will flash, but it won;t recognize it. If I restart my computer, plug it in, its fine again. Now, if I plug it in, it works, un plug it, but plug it into a different usb port, it will work again. Once I've used one port, it won't work with it and will have to restart my Mac. Any help would be great, Thanks!

    I installed this driver:
    http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver

  • Xbox 360 Controller and Call of Duty 4

    I bought the Xbox 360 controller with the receiver and installed the driver on the Mac. The driver recognizes it wonderfully in System Preferences. Now, is there any way to use this device to play Call Of Duty 4? (for Mac... naturally).
    Has anyone been able to do so?

    I'm trying to find the same answer myself. Any luck? I called tech support and they said the game doesn't support it, but to look for a keyboard emulator program. You can view a thread I started here http://gamermodzforum.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?p=10412#10412 regarding this same issue.

    I have made it, I'm very happy with myself. It's not perfect but should work. It only builds and installs the xboxdrv binary, the other featured tools are not touched. Any improvements are welcomed.
    The final dilemma is what category to submit in the AUR. It's not a module or a game, technically not a lib. There needs to be a category for generic utilities.
