About
GamePad Companion 3.3.1 Mac游戏手柄配置工具 可模拟鼠标键盘 GamePad Companion是一款Mac平台上的游戏手柄配置工具。 大家都知道Mac游戏兼容手柄的选择实在是非常有限，如果你想在Mac上用某些PC游戏的手柄，这个小工具能帮助你。. GamePad Companion is a tool that allows you to use HID compatible devices (gamepads, joysticks, etc.) with Mac OS X. This means that you can use many of the joysticks and gamepads that haven't had their drivers updated for Mac OS X! GamePad Companion should be able to simultaneously use up to 5 HID devices with GamePad Companion.
GamePad Companion for Mac, free and safe download. GamePad Companion latest version: Use your gamepads to play games.
This software enables the Xbox USB gamepad, DVD remote, and other Xbox devices on Mac OS X. It installs a HID (Human Interface Device) kernel extension and works at a low-level so any game that supports joysticks can use it. Games that do not support joysticks can use Xbox devices through additional software such as GamePad Companion.
You can use the Xbox HID Driver as long as you want, it is now freeware and totally unlimited. The full source code is accessible via CVS.
The source code to the kernel extension component is included, and is subject to the Apple Public Source License (APSL). The driver can be extended to support additional Xbox devices, including wheels, IR receivers, headsets, and memory units. The full source code for other components is licensed under the GPL.
It is now possible to use the Xbox controller in Halo! Halo version 1.5 supports gamepads!
I have created an Application Enhancer module (aka haxie) that taps into Halo Mac Edition to provide limited joystick support, I call it 'Game Pad Hack'. Update: this is no longer needed in version 1.5 of Halo. I probably will not be continuing development of this haxie but the full source code is available for anyone who would like to take it further. Click here to download Game Pad Hack (requires the Xbox HID Driver).
What's New in Version 1.3.4
- Universal Binary, unlimited freeware version
Requirements
- Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later
- Xbox Controller with USB adapter (like this)
- Xbox DVD Remote with USB adapter
Download
Before you download, please note: this driver requires Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later, which was recently released, so make sure to upgrade. The download contains a detailed ReadMe with information about known bugs and limitations, which you should consult first before emailing me.
Getting Help
I'm maintaining an FAQ for common problems and help getting various games to work with the Xbox controller.
The download contains a detailed Readme which might help you.
Visit the sourceforge.net forum here.
There is also a forum at Inside Mac Games where you can search for more info.
Getting a USB Adapter
I used to recommend Lik-Sang for this as they donated some hardware to test on. It seems they are out of business now. I would recommend you search google. It is also possible to build your own adapter with some basic soldering skills and an old printer cable. Again, search google, lots of good howtos on this can be found.
Related Software
This software may help you get your controller working with games that do not support HID input.ControllerMate is a programmable utility that can be used to emulate a keyboard or mouse with your Xbox controller.
Gamepad Companion is a similiar utility for mouse/keyboard emulation.
HID Wizard is a free utility to map HID joysticks onto the keyboard/mouse.
Joystick and Gamepad Tester provides you with some low-level information on your gamepad.
There is another project supporing the Xbox 360 controller here, it also supports force feedback. It is not clear if this also supports the original Xbox controllers.
Donations
Donations will be used to purchase additional Xbox devices and gadgets, and will motivate future updates and enhancements (calibration w/dead zones, rapid-fire buttons, invertable axes, 3rd-party controllers...).
