![]() ![]() I have read online that there are no drivers for the gamepad because it is supposed to natively work in Mac. I am forced to hold the power button and restart my mac to get out of the game.) (When the mouse stops working the game will also not shut down and force close does not work. At which point the game will resume normal working condition with the mouse. folder from Library/Saved Application State. To get the game to work again I have to manually go in and delete the com.ubisoft. The first thing that happens is the mouse no longer works in game once I have set up the software. I have downloaded GamePad Companion and have taken the time to map the gamepad controls in accordance with the standard keyboard layout. The gamepad itself is recognized in system info but not in the game. I have a gamepad that I am trying to use with Assassin's Creed II (Mac version) but am running into trouble. will post updates if anything changes.I've been searching and google-ing but have not come up with a lot of information. VOILA FIXED! i can now play GTA as before.īut it cost me 8 bucks and i installed some software that i'm not 100% certain about. Then i pushed the joystick to "southeast", which showed up as "y-axis", put in down arrow for "maximum" and right arrow for "minimum". i picked "multiple keys" and i hit "up arrow" for maximum and "left arrow" for minimum. So i selected the logitech dual action, pushed the left-hand joystick to the "northwest" position, which showed up as "x-axis" in the "selected element" window. The "maximum" position for the upper left quadrant would be pointing straight up, while the "minimum position" would be straight left. now i am not entirely sure how this works, but i think the position sensor considers the upper left quadrant and lower right quadrant to be two separate axes. I opened the preference pane and plugged in the logitech dual action. now i have absolutely no affiliation with this company AND it seemed kinda shady, but anyway. i think it cost me $8 to buy on the app store. So, i installed carvware's gamepad companion, which ends up as a system preferences pane. basically the left-side direction joystick wasn't working and everything else was fine. whenever i tried to play GTA with the logitech the dude would just run in a random direction no matter what was going on with the gamepad. So first of all a brief description of what happened. Here's what i did to get my gamepad working with GTA: vice city As it is, all the forum threads and recommendations on sites like MacGamepads don't seem to apply Retina owners and it would be nice to provide some proper insight. If any RMBP owners can chip in their experiences with gamepads (PS3, Logitech, anything) then that might at least build a better picture for prospective buyers. I have also tested the Aleph One engine (Marathon series) which apparently works fine with this gamepad to no avail - it doesn't detect anything.ĭoes anyone have any idea why the RMBP won't recognise it with certain applications? Any reason USB OverDrive would recognise it but other applications would not? The only thing I can think of is that the Retina model has USB 3.0, though this should be fully backwards compatible or should flat-out refuse to work altogether (that goes for USB OverDrive too). ![]() It is running 10.7.4 much like I am on the Retina. I've tested the gamepad with sixtyforce and Snes9x on my girlfriend's MacBook Air and it works 100% fine, no setup required. I've held off buying GamePad Companion because I don't really want to buy a program I will have no use for when other programs that should already work do not. I've installed the trial version of USB OverDrive which (in a bizarre twist) does recognise the inputs, but it's a mapping tool and isn't any use for the analog sticks. The problem is that I cannot get the gamepad to be recognised by applications I know support it, for example sixtyforce and Snes9x among others. MacRumors forums was partly responsible for me choosing the F310 as I've stumbled across a few threads that recommended the F310 for its plug and play compatibility with OS X via "D" input mode. I've recently bought a Logitech F310 gamepad for emulation purposes (as well as a few other games) on said Retina MacBook. I've exhaustively searched the web for info and can't find any other mention of this, so I'm hoping a thread here will at least attract some attention and possibly even a fix or workaround. Happy Retina MacBook Pro owner here, did my research, the screen looks awesome, the laptop is everything I expected but I have encountered a problem that doesn't seem to have been covered yet. ![]()
