Question about
Is there any way to use the Xbox 360 controller for Dolphin (GameCube emulator) on Mac OSX?
I've been playing some old classics on my Mac using the Dolphin emulator -- but I hate using the keyboard. Is it possible to use this controller with Dolphin?

I have never done this personally, but it seems that you will need the "Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver": www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Windo... to connect to your mac. Then to make this hardware work you will need these custom drivers: tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Contr... . Once you have set all this up it should appear to the OS as any other game controller. You should then be able to configure it to work with the Dolphin emulator.

An update: I bought the "Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows" and am using it on my MacPro to play emulated GameCube games and it works like a charm! You can also download "GamePad Companion" to use the controller with other games (such as web games) -- it basically emulates key presses from your Xbox controller.
