Xbox 360 Controller Hooks Up to Mac

by Patrick on May 20th, 2006

A wired (not wireless) Xbox 360 controller can be hooked up to the Mac using Colin Munro’s USB driver. Halo and MacMAME can work with the driver flawlessly. It also supports haptic technology aka force feedback (your 360 controller will shake uncontrollably in some games to simulate the “real” effect).

Is another successful marriage, I think.

    Yeah.. I have installed that software and I have os x and I have done everything I can think of (turning the controller on, restarting, re-installation) and nothing seems to work. If you know what I can do.. please let me know.

    Thanks!
