Usings a gamepad on XP

Hello
I'm currently running XP on an iMac 2.16GHz thru boot camp
but every time I boot up and try to connect my gamepad the pc asks for pci device drivers, which i don't seem to have.
Which ones do I need?

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.
Here is a link;

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

How to add syslink devicefile for bluetooth gamepad

I tried to follow this Archlinux wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PS … _Bluetooth
in using my DualShock 3 controller as a gamepad for linux. It works via cable, but when I want to use it via Bluetooth, I would have to add a udev rule, as the wiki states:
Wiki wrote:
Create a new udev rule (usually 99 or 98-dualshock.rules into /etc/udev/rules.d/) with the following content
KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{uniq}=="device_addr_you_got_on_pairing", SYMLINK+="input/dualshock3"
I did setup this rule, but the devicefile is not created, and I dont know why.
My udev rule looks like this:
KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="bluetooth", ATTRS{uniq}=="00:26:5C:17:DC:1F", SYMLINK+="input/dualshock3"
I also asked on Stackoverflow and in different IRC channels: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2632 … th-gamepad
Here are different results from udevadm info, test and monitor:

You need the bluetooth software and access connections installed. Then you hit Fn+F5 and enable bluetooth. Once enabled the device will appear in Windows.

How to use GamePad with Logitech F510 in MBP ?

I got a Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510 (it in not Mac compatible by the way)
I am unable to use it properly with my game(F1 2012), even after installing "GamePad Companion"
Kindly tell Me how to assign Buttons & Controlls.

You need to ask Logitech - it's their product and not many of use around here purchase products that are not Mac compatible.

Saitek PS1000 gamepad not working (buttons not detected)

I'm having an issue with a Saitek PS1000 gamepad which is correctly detected as /dev/input/js0, however only the joysticks are recognized, the buttons are not detected.
cat /dev/input/js0 outputs garbage whenever I move one of the joysticks, but nothing when I press any button.
The same with jstest or with the configuration panel under kde (both joystick work, but no output when pressing any button).

Mapping keyboard and mouse keys onto my gamepad

I'm using arch linux x86_64 and I want to map some keyboard and mouse keys onto my gamepad to play games which don't support the gamepad directly. How can I do this?

Have you tried using xbindkeys?
Do
xbindkeys -k
to see what your buttons are mapped to..
Also QJoyPad.

Is it possible to interface a USB Gamepad to a RT PXI system?

We currently use a RT PXI system to control a subsea ROV.
We would like to interface a Logitech Wingman Gamepad with USB interface to our RT PXI system as a Human Interface Device (HID) to control the ROV. Is it possible?
The gamepad supplier has informed me that the gamepad is "a fully compliant HID device and can be read by any HID-capable platform"

While the application sounds interesting, unfortunately USB devices are not supported on any of our PXI controllers when booted into the Real-Time operating system.

Logitech F310 Gamepad only works with Display Manager [SOLVED]

So I bought a couple Logitech F310 gamepads, for, well, gaming, and I had a hell of a time trying to get my games to respond to them. I run XMonad, and boot it directly via xinit. On a whim, I tried activating gdm and logging into a gnome session, and presto, my controllers worked. I got a bare bones xmonad session file going, and eventually switched over to lxdm just for testing purposes, and the controllers would continue to work like a charm.
Now, I would prefer to not to have to use a display manager, though it's not a deal breaker (though they seem to introduce other problems -- now systemd hangs on shutdown when I'm using lxdm). Still, I'm curious as to what kind of an effect the mere activation of a display manager could have on the system which would cause it to properly recognize the gamepads. To be clear, without a display manager, the pads are detected, are correctly listed in /dev/input. and I can even run jstest and see that they respond well (though they seem oddly configured), but games will not recognize their existence, and so they're effectively useless.
Any help would be appreciated.

It would appear that this is related to this post as well:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1368721
Here's a list of processes that run when I'm using LXDM, versus XMonad:
kworker/u16:8
kworker/6:2
irq/46-iwlwifi
login
xinit
irq/44-iwlwifi
kworker/2:2
kworker/2:3
lxdm-binary
lxdm-session
gnome-keyring-d
pulseaudio
rtkit-daemon
gconf-helper
gconfd-2
The modules being listed are the same. Definitely an odd problem. I'm just resorting to using LXDM for now, even though I'd rather not.

[SOLVED] udev not creating gamepad device

I'm having trouble with an USB gamepad that actually is an Playstation controller adapter in Arch, I cannot use it in PCSX-Reloaded for instance.
Here's the output of lsusb when plugged:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 003 Device 011: ID 0e8f:0003 GreenAsia Inc. MaxFire Blaze2
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0489:e036 Foxconn / Hon Hai
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04f2:b32f Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
The gamepad is correctly listed as Bus 003 Device 011 (GreenAsia Inc. MaxFire Blaze2). But I think udev is not creating the /dev/input/js0 device as it should (it works on my Slackware 14.0 box), as the output of ls /dev/input is:
by-id event1 event12 event3 event6 event9 mouse1
by-path event10 event13 event4 event7 mice
event0 event11 event2 event5 event8 mouse0
What should I do? Does other USB gamepads are configured automatically? Is my device too old/incompatible with Arch? Or is it a bug?

I would be nice if you would share your solution so other members could benefit - even if it is a mistake or misconfiguration by yourself
My Dragonfire pad requires the "joydev" module, for example.
# modprobe joydev

No the NX does not decode AC3 from external source so even if you can connect it together, you will only get stereo.

How to use old gamepad

I'm running 10.5.4 on an 08 regular macbook... I picked up some cheap games and was wondering there's any way I can get an old Gravis gamepad controller to work? It's a USB controller that did work with mac... It does seem to get recognized, but it doesn't control properly.
Thanks,

You would have to look for a driver on the manufacturer's web site. The odds are they don't have any driver updates for OS X, but it might be worth a look.
I would add to the OP, look for Linux and/or BSD drivers, not just Mac-specific drivers.
When playing with drivers, it's always best to backup the system before doing so. For playing around like this, a SuperDuper clone is your best bet. Play around on the clone and leave your original system alone until you have worked out the problem. That's what clones are made for

How do i configure my gamepad to play fifa 2012 on my macbook pro 2011

i just can't use my gamepad to play fifa 2012 on my macbook pro. pls what should i do?

You already marked your post as being solved!
If you still need help, contact the game manufacturer. You will need to determine from them if the game & gamepad is compatible w/your computer and/or OS to use and/or play.
