#USE XBOX ONE CONTROLLER MAC EMULATOR HOW TO#

Still you can try it yourself, and I think chances are high itвЂ™ll just work out of the box thanks to Fuse emulator capabilities.Playing old classics on current gen devices is amazing and with NintendoвЂ™s lack of interest in allowing us to play those classics in anyway besides the original old hardware we are forced to take matters into our hands so let me answer your question of How to Use ps4 Controller on Dolphin Emulator on Mac? I havenвЂ™t tried two controllers yet, but itвЂ™d be really fun to do so in some games, and Fuse seems to support that вЂ“ so perhaps in future I will try it if I have the chance. YouвЂ™d still need to use key mappings setup to map a joystick fire button though. UPD: Also you can use left analog stick for up/down/left/right controls by selecting corresponding joystick type in вЂњEmulated joystickвЂќ dropdown on Inputs tab. You can redefine the preferences of Fuse to make these match Kempston joystick for maximum compatibility. HereвЂ™s the key numbers on X-Box controller in accordance with Fuse numbering: Now, provided you have X-Box controller attached, go to вЂњInputsвЂќ tab of Fuse->Preferences and for Joystick 1 choose Real device: X-Box 360 (Wired) Controller. вЂ“ In Fuse go to Fuse->Preferences->вЂќROMвЂќ tab->Spectrum 128K (or whatever version of Spectrum you choose from вЂњMachineвЂќ menu вЂ“ I use 128K) and click вЂњChooseвЂ¦вЂќ buttons to provide it with the location of ROM files. Simply unpack it, go to вЂњromsвЂќ folder and copy all ROMs into the directory of Fuse emulator youвЂ™ve downloaded, or any other directory of your choice.

#USE XBOX ONE CONTROLLER MAC EMULATOR ARCHIVE#

The package is tar+gzip archive in case you donвЂ™t know what. вЂ“ If Fuse complains about missing ROMs on startup вЂ“ download ROMs from any location you can find, for example one can download Homebrew source code package for Fuse macOS port that includes these ROMs in вЂњromsвЂќ folder of the package. The latter should allow you to skip ROMs installation step, but I havenвЂ™t tested it.

#USE XBOX ONE CONTROLLER MAC EMULATOR INSTALL#

вЂ“ Install macOS version of Fuse emulator вЂ“ either by downloading it from SourceForge and unpacking, or via HomeBrew.

#USE XBOX ONE CONTROLLER MAC EMULATOR DRIVER#

вЂ“ Install and test X-Box controller driver for macOS вЂ“ look for вЂњXbox 360 ControllersвЂќ item in System Preferences after youвЂ™ve installed it, there you can test and configure it, though it actually requires no configuration changes out of the box. In short, the order of installation is this: Still, those ROMs are available online in several locations ( 1, 2 вЂ“ unpack archive and see roms directory, etc) вЂ“ just under different licenses. Installation for this setup is relatively simple, though not without a quirk вЂ“ one has to download and configure Spectrum ROMs for Fuse emulator separately, since macOS port of it doesnвЂ™t include them due to some licensing mismatch (apparently their license isnвЂ™t GNU compatible or something like that). Anyhow, just get the latest version from GitHub. Though IвЂ™m not even sure where IвЂ™ve got version 0.14 вЂ“ the GitHub page says itвЂ™s not a TattieBogle driver (though itвЂ™s clearly a fork of that), but IвЂ™m almost certain that GitHub page is where IвЂ™ve got the driver from, and TattieBogle website has latest version at 0.12, and the about section for driver I have says itвЂ™s a TattieBogle one.

I probably shouldвЂ™ve upgraded X-Box 360 controller driver, since checking GitHub releases page for that driver revealed newer versions being available вЂ“ it just so happened that I already had 0.14 installed and it worked, so I didnвЂ™t bother changing anything.

#USE XBOX ONE CONTROLLER MAC EMULATOR FOR MAC#

IвЂ™ve tested this setup with TattieBogle driver version 0.14 and Fuse emulator port for mac version 1.5.6. A macOS driver is also needed for X-Box controller to work with Mac, but such a thing is available too (also there is an older one from TattieBogle). In any of those cases X-Box 360 controller can be used on macOS вЂ“ by using macOS port of Fuse ZX Spectrum emulator, that supports it out of the box. Others support standard key mappings like QAOP+Space or QAOP+M, and some also support standard joystick configurations like Kempston joystick, which essentially uses number keys 1230 for left/right/up/down/fire on 2 joysticks вЂ“ very simple and effective scheme, that also seamlessly works with games that allow redefining keys but donвЂ™t have special joystick support. Some ZX Spectrum games allow one do redefine keys in order to play them. For those who remember and love the good old ZX Spectrum вЂ“ hereвЂ™s a retro-gaming lifehack to have some fun experience playing ZX Spectrum games using X-Box controller on a Mac.
