USB-->playstation controller adapter
yeah the tittle says it all. does this work on on the mac? i've seen a bunch on ebay and was wondering if its cool to buy? i like the ps controllers the best and although the iShoks come pretty close (i have 2) its not the same. i will be using 10.2.3. i also heard there was an adapter that lets u use your snes game pads? damn i remember seeing that somewhere! anybody? thanks

Re: USB-->playstation controller adapter
ok..i knew that the 10.2.3 uodate brought force feedback to the mac. well i got a Wingman Rumblepad and according to Logitech's website it should work with osx and forcefeedback. well...is this like game specific? the computer knows its there-under systemprofiler it says 'Wingma Rumplepad" but i cant use it with emulators. thats how i mainly use my gamepads (i have 2 iShoks , Gravis gamepad pro and this wingman) i dont really care about the rumble feature (emulators dont supprt it) but isnt this Wingman suppose to work with OSX? and which games support rumble?

Re: USB-->playstation controller adapter
Did you find out if it works in OSX? I've been thinking of getting one of those for a while now (I have an old PC gamepad, FOUR genesis pads and FOUR N64 pads, so I would be set with that!)

Re: USB-->playstation controller adapter
I bought an adaptoid a few years ago (n64 to USB adapter) The Mac support is USB Overdrive, which works great in 9. There is nothing in X yet though.

When you open it you will find that the option for "game pad" is greyed out. That's why it's still a beta. Unless you know something I dont... I hope...

Re: USB-->playstation controller adapter
I've got a USB PSX/PS2+N64 Adapter and a PSX Dualshock. It works fine under OS 9.1 Gamesprockets recognizes it and all its functions (exept for force-feedback and the right analog stick isn't supported very well). Overall, I'd say I'm pretty happy with it.
