Gamepad companion mac ps3 controller Bluetooth#
sixpair 1A:2B:3C:4D:5E:6F where '1A:2B:3C:4D:5E:6F' is the 'Local Bluetooth Address' that the Sixaxis controller app gives you. This is annoying as Valve still don't provide controller configuration options outside of Big Picture Mode, which means that if you can't enter it, you can't configure a controller in advance at all Plug your PS3 controller into your Mac via the USB cable. It's apparently possible to do this natively in Steam via the Big Picture Mode, but it seems that that no longer works at all in WINE (iirc it used to, but perhaps its requirements have changed?). So I've been investigating more and I've managed to find guides on people doing the opposite of what I want on Linux namely using xboxdrv and some dlls to remap an xbox controller as an xinput device compatible with games that support the Steam Controller.īut what I want to do is find a way to make my PS3 controller appear as an xbox controller (directinput?) in a way that passes through to WINE. I'm very tempted by the Steam controller actually, but only if I can get it to work with what I play I realise as well that a PS3 controller may be an awkward case, so I don't mind getting something more compatible if it means I can use a controller to play. Have they ever made it in a version of WINE (if so, which ones have it) or is it something I can compile in myself (if so, how, I've never done it before)? Anyone got any type of controller to work? I cannot understand why Apple did so lazy job with Bluetooth.If I want better controller support I currently have to reboot into Windows, trick it into thinking my PS3 controller is an XBox 360 controller, and use it via USB only (Windows doesn't seem to recognise it via Bluetooth at all without some kind of Bluetooth firmware trickery that I don't want to do).Īnyway, I know there have been various efforts to add xinput and more DirectInput support to WINE, so I'm wondering if anyone knows what the current state of affairs is. The panel is to simplistic, does not give any details of devices, does not provide any feedback of tasks, it's unstable and not even my iPhone works right, I gave up using bluetooth mouse.

Maybe with some third-part software will work properly.Īlso, I must say the bluetooth control of macOS High Sierra is the same crap of all predecessors systems. It will connect but will blink all the time and the bt will say is not connected, but I can play Alien Isolation! However, I have to keep it wired or it will turn off automatically. 4. The bad imitation won't even apear on the bluetooth list, it's virtually impossible to connect. But I can say this: I have three ps3 controllers, one 100% original untested (will use only with my console), a good imitation and a bad imitation.
