Xbox 360 controller with a pb

Has anyone gotten a new 360 controller to work on a mac running os X? It would be sweet. The usb wired one or the wireless would be so cool.

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

Using a Xbox 360 controller with Qosmio G30

Hi,
I'm trying to use the xbox 360 controller with pro evo soccer 2010 on my laptop.
At first it was flashing, but then it stopped.
The drivers and everything have installed correctly, is there any other way???
In device manager, there are no exclamation marks, it seems fine.
But the game wont play, unless I use the keyboard.

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.

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.

Unable to use Xbox 360 controller with Cod 4.

Game works fine with keyboard but wanted to use controller for ease.
I have got Gamepad Companion and the xbox360controller drivers from tattie but when trying to set what controls do what in game the controller seems to stop working. I'm unable to set any controls using the controller.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'd probably ask in the Xbox development forums.

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 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.

Xbox 360 controller (wired) and compatability with Windows 7

Ok, here's the scoop. I have an Xbox 360 controller and a plug 'n play kit for it. I have tried the normal solutions for hooking it up and getting it to recognize in Windows 7 (32 bit) Home Prem. Edition, and all I get is it is an 'Unspecified' device in the Control Panel, and as a result, it will not be recognized in games as a controller, and will not work. I have installed the proper drivers and the 360 Accessories for Windows, but even that doesn't recognize the controller when it is plugged into my USB 2.0 port. The driver is properly installed (Windows told me the driver was installed correctly when I first plugged in my controller, after installing the program from the Microsoft website), so I have no idea why it is not working. I have followed all the stepd that I can find. Please give me some assistance.

If you already have the software installed, go to programs and features and uninstall Microsoft XBOX 360 Accessories 1.2.
1) Download the drivers from http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming
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"
Choose Windows 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
Ignore the warning.
Should work now.
Please help :( It's still not working! Your suggestions helped almost everything. I don't think there was the Microsoft Common Controller for Windows class/Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit in Device Manager before I tried
your tips of reinstalling under that old service pack compatibility mode.
Now that I see that, I thought it'd be fixed... but no! If I run joy.cpl (the Game Controllers window) it still doesn't see my Xbox controller. It still isn't recognized by the actual 360 controller software for my PC.
I did try updating the drivers again in the device manager, and I am plugged into a Blue USB port. What else? Is it something to do with my battery pack or something? Help!!
I don't know if this will notify me of a response, so please feel free to email me at smorin1487 @ gmail

[solved] Getting xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim with xboxdrv

I am trying to get my xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim. I installed xboxdrv from AUR and I can get it running with no problems. I have xinput installed in the prefix via winetricks. I've blacklisted xpad kernel module and have xboxdrv running as a systemd service. Xbox controller support is turned on in the game's options.
The issue I'm having is that the controller will still only operate with certain games, which are the games that can use it with the regular xpad kernel module.
Here's some details about the set-up:
√ systemd service:
[Unit]
Description = xboxdrv
[Service]
User = root
Type = simple
ExecStart = /usr/bin/xboxdrv -D -c /etc/conf.d/xboxdrv
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
√ xboxdrv config:
[xboxdrv]
silent = true
mimic-xpad = true
#force-feedback = true
chatpad = true
led = 2
[xboxdrv-daemon]
detach = true
dbus = disabled
√ xinput winetrick is installed:
Anyone see anything wrong with my setup?

Trouble Connecting a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller to Windows 8.1 via the Play & Charge Kit

I've been trying to connect a standard black wireless Xbox 360 controller to my PC, a Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition (what makes it special is a mystery to me, but that's the name) with the standard Play & Charge Kit.
I downloaded the drivers from Microsoft's website <http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows>. Since there was no version for Windows 8.1, I downloaded the version for windows 7 (64-bit) and ran the installer
in compatibility mode. The installer ran just fine, and I was able to run joy.cpl with no trouble. The trouble was, my controller doesn't show up in the list of game controllers, which is blank.
Under Devices and Printers, an item named "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" appears in the "Unspecified" category. When I look at the properties of this device, there are only two tabs, "General" and "Hardware".
Under the "Hardware" tab, there is a device also named"Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" whose properties have all the proper drivers and suchlike.
Help!

Uninstall all the driver.
Download and install the latest driver,or,you may try the same to get via Windows Update.

Using the xbox 360 controller in my java application

Wanted to know if there is a way to get the xbox 360 controller or the nintendo wii to work with my java application. Has anyone been able to access either controller using java.
Thanks
GradStudent

nope. you can use jinput to use game controllers... but only game controllers
that can be plugged in and have a driver.
i dont have any game systems, do the controllers have a usb attachment and computer drivers?

Xbox 360 controller support

I've found a couple of old threads that require a recompilation of the kernel or a kernel patch (I think) or recompilation of a module in order to get XBox 360 controller working, but those were from 2.6.24 or 2.6.28. Is that still necessary? Can someone point me in the right direction for how to get my box to recognize and use the XBox 360 controller? I've modprobed joydev and xpad, but all dmesg says when I plug in the controller is
usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Suggestions?

Grid Wars looks for the joysticks registered as /dev/js(0,1,2,etc). So if you ever get the controller registered under /dev/input just symlink the /dev/input/jsX to /dev/jsX.
