The first release of the first driver to allow OS X users the ability to use the Xbox 360 controller is out, and here are some details on it:
I have created a USB driver which allows you to use the XBox 360 Controller on an OSX machine, including support for the Apple Force Feedback library. I plan to release this as Open Source using the GNU Public License, but intend to tidy the code up a little first – so the initial release for people to try is binary only 😉
Currently, the following still needs implemented:
- I don’t think settings are persistent
- More settings, e.g. trigger deadzone, button remap
- Force feedback may elongate effects
- Force feedback (DirectInput-style interface) emulator may need more work
- Preference pane currently only tests rumble motors, by creating a force feedback interface but then just using the Escape functionality
- Driver needs to handle more possible errors.
