Controller Support

Has anyone successfully used a PS3 controller with Dolphin for Mac? One of the older builds I used worked wonderfully with a PS3 controller, but the new builds don't. Whenever I go to configure the controller, Dolphin recognizes it, but then immediately shuts down whenever I click a button configure button. Help?

After looking through older builds for quite some time, I finally found that the 2.0 release (r5618) worked with the PS3 controller. I know that there are a few newer versions than that one that it worked with, but what went wrong? I am running Dolphin on Snow Leopard. I've tried running it in 32-bit mode, changing different options in the settings, and while I'm still looking into it, I would really like to get back to playing on Dolphin. Also, New Super Mario Bros. Wii crashes when trying to load the title screen.

Revision 7052 claims to fix this crash.

Just tried r7052, and it has the exact same crash pattern as the others do. I've tried connecting my PS3 controller through a USB cable, as well as through Bluetooth. It used to work for either one.

Apparently many revisions claim to have fixed this crashing. None I have tried so far actually do. r7917 is the latest, and PS3 controller is still crashing both GCpad and Wiimote panels.

Anyone else having any luck?

Thanks.
