I was able to have two PS3 controllers connected via Bluetooth at the same time. Otherwise, the PS3 will turn on when you hit the PS button on the controller. If you’re planning to set this up within Bluetooth range of the PS3 then I recommend that you flip the power switch on the back to the OFF position. However, once it was connected it stayed connected throughout that session of use. In addition, it seems that each time I wanted to use the controller after shutting down the Mac or putting it into stand-by, I had to reconnect it via the Bluetooth system preference. Note that in my case I had to connect it via USB first. The pairing code for PS3 controllers is the standard “0000”. However, if I had the controller connected via USB and then hit the PS button while the Mac was looking for devices, it usually found it (the controller stops flashing once it connects). When I plugged the controller in the red LEDs flashed continuously but it wasn’t detected as a Bluetooth device. I did have some issues getting it to connect when working in the OS X Bluetooth system preference. One benefit to using this driver is that it supports Bluetooth, which is the wireless protocol used by the PS3 controllers. This turned out to be relatively simple using a piece of software named PS3Contoller. Recently, I decided see if I could get a PS3 controller working in OS X Lion in order to use it with several different console emulators. Using a different driver, not referenced to in this post, I was able to use the PS3 controller (at the time I was only able to get it work via USB).
#Sixtyforce update#
See an additional update regarding Mountain Lion and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga at the end of this post.Ī while back I managed to get the PS2 version of Shadow of the Colossus working in an emulator for Windows. Note that I’ve only gone through this process using OS X Lion. Read the entire post for additional issues. I had to connect via USB first to make it work. The pairing code for PS3 controllers is “0000”.
#Sixtyforce install#
The Short Version: Download and install a program named PS3Controller.
Updated : I tried the controller again and set the axis deadzone to zero in Sixtyforce. I also have their SNES adapter but I haven’t acquired SNES controllers yet.
I’ll keep toying with it, but I don’t think it’s a problem with the adapter itself. At this point I don’t know if it’s just a sign of an old controller or if there’s something I can do on the OS side to fix the alignment. Its resting position caused the character to constantly move forward. I did have problems with the calibration of the stick on the controller. In Sixtyforce the button mappings worked well. I’ve used it with Sixtyforce and that’s the only N64 emulator I’ve used on a Mac. Amazon review comments hint that it may just be a general problem when using the adapter with OS X.
#Sixtyforce drivers#
I don’t know if this is specific to the OS X drivers or if it’s a software compatibility issue. Specifically, only the N64 port on the right. So far it only appears to work with one controller. Note that there is one important caveat for use with a Mac. It seems to work via the standard HID interfaces.
#Sixtyforce mac os#
The USB adapter includes two N64 controller ports and it works with Windows and Mac OS X. While I haven’t had a chance to really put it to a good test I did get some time to hook it up to an N64 controller that I bought yesterday from a pawn shop for $5. One of the items was a May Flash N64 Controller Adapter for USB. I had a calibration issue the first time I used the adapter with an original N64 controller but the next time I fired up Sixtyforce I set the axis deadzone to zero and it worked perfectly.įor Valentine’s Day my wife bought a couple of items from my Amazon Wish List along with some other cool gifts. The Short Version: On a Mac it seems that only the port on the right can be used but Windows users didn’t report the same problem.
