Driver Xbox 360 Mac Sierra, Outstanding Sierra, Yosemite DVD XBox One Convertir to convert encrypted or homemade DVDs with simplicity. Easily convert DVD movies to XBox One format for Sierra, Yosemite, Moutain Lion, Lion, snow leopard. XBox 360 Controller Driver allows you to use wired XBox 360 Controllers via USB, and wireless XBox 360 Controllers via the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows, on your OS X machine, including support for the Apple Force Feedback library. The driver is licenced under the GPL.

Current release: 1.0.0d14 - beta 2 for Yosemite 10.10.

This probably only works on Yosemite. I don't have an older machine to try it on. Sorry.

As of Beta 2:The LEDs work. They will flash when you connect a controller and then #1 will light up and stay on.Note that if you want them to work like they do on the console (controller #2 lights #2, etc.) then I need somefeedback or I'm not spending the time.I've also fixed the 3rd party support so your non-Microsoft controllers should work now.

About

This driver supports the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller, including access to rumble motors and LEDs,on the Mac OS X platform. It includes a plugin for the Apple Force Feedback Framework so some gameswill be able to activate them, along with a Preference Pane with which allows you to test everythingis installed correctly. Both wired 360 controllers connected via USB, and wireless 360 controllersconnected via the Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows, are supported.

The driver was originally created by Colin Munro. In 2014, I contacted Colin offering my help in updating thedriver to run properly under Mac OS X 10.10 'Yosemite'. My email went unanswered. Given that Colin hasnot updated the driver in over a year, and that he has not answered my attempts at contacting him, I havedecided to fork the driver and update it. If Colin and I do sync up we will likely re-merge efforts;for now consider this version to be the definitive version for newer versions of Mac OS.

As for why it needed updating - starting with 10.10, Apple requires that kexts (device drivers) for Macfollow some new rules. One of them is that they be digitally signed by a paid Mac developer. In orderto sign the driver I needed to be able to build it; as my development machine is 10.10 based I was forcedto update the driver to compile on 10.10. This required many changes which are outlined in the developer section below.

Licence

This driver is licensed under the GNU Public License. A copy of this license is included in thedistribution file, please inspect it before using the binary or source.

Installation

Simply complete the installer package to install the driver. The driver will recommend you restart -if you do not, the driver will only be usable if the controller is already connected or connectedwithin a minute after the installer completes. If you are interested in installing as a developer please see below.

Usage

The driver exposes a standard game pad with a number of standard controls, so any game that supportsgaming devices should work. In some cases this may need an update from the manufacturer of the game ora patched version. The Preference Pane uses the standard Mac OS X Frameworks for accessing HID devicesand accessing Force Feedback capabilities, so should be a good test that the installation is functional.

Known Problems/Todo

Colin's last version of the driver had some functionality I have temporarily had to remove:

Sierra
  • Force feedback is currently disabled until I can rewrite it into the main driver (not a plugin).
  • I also had to remove the feature that allowed the preference pane to rewrite the Info.plist for the driver as that cannot be allowed any longer in a signed driver.

This is the old Todo list. These things are still in play once I get the above issues fixed.

  • The rumble motor test on the triggers of the Preference Pane bypasses the Force Feedback Framework functionality, so isn't actually testing it. It really should, for completeness (and it'd help adding support for more complex effects) - this test is now disabled in the normal release anyway.
  • Force Feedback plugin may make effects run slower (e.g. longer time) than they should.
  • Driver probably needs to be more resilient to errors and odd cases.
  • Better Force Feedback 'emulation'.
  • Extra settings? E.g. trigger deadzones, control remapping.
  • Someone has requested old Xbox Controller support too. It is unlikely that I will do this.

Developer info

Anything below this probably doesn't affect end users, so you can stop reading now if you just want to use the driver.

Building

Xbox Controller Driver For Mac Sierra 10

The distribution currently consists of multiple projects contained in an XCode workspace - one for the driver(implemented in C++, as an I/O Kit C++ class), one for the force feedback support plugin (implemented inC, as an I/O Kit COM plugin) and one for the Preference Pane (implemented in Objective C as a preference pane plugin).There are additional projects for the wireless receiver. These should probably all be in a single projectbut Colin didn't start it out that way and I've not yet made that happen.

To build, use the standard Xcode build for Deployment on each of the projects. Right now the Feedback plugin buildsbut it cannot be installed into the main controller bundle as it breaks the signature. Also, the build scriptdoes not work and is only included for reference.

Debugging

Most of the debugging I did was via printing out text. In 360Controller, you can use IOLog(), and theoutput will appear in system.log. In Feedback360 normal fprintf(stderr,...), and the output will appearon the console of whatever application is attempting to use Force Feedback. In Pref360Control NSLog() worksas it's an Objective C program, and will output to the console of the Preferences application.

Other information

Xbox Controller With Mac

I wrote the driver from scratch, using Apple documentation and drivers simply as a reference and notbasing it upon any existing source. As such, some things may be done strangely or incorrectly, so excuse anyweirdness. I've also tried to include comments to explain generally what's going on :)

You will be unable to install kexts you build yourself unless you have a kext signing enabled Developer ID,or you put your Mac into kext debugging mode - i.e. 'kext-dev-mode=1'. If you don't know what any of that means,just run the binary installer package that I provide.
