Hi everyone,

I'm running dolphin 3.0 on my macbook pro running osx lion (10.7). I have beaten many GC games using the keyboard, but am now playing luigi's mansion where it just isn't possible to play using a keyboard. So, I'm wondering how I can use my XBox 360 controller, PS3 controller, or Classic Controller to do so. How would I go about setting that up? In addition, I would like to play some Wii games, but I am having a very hard time hooking up my wiimote to my mac. My computer recognizes the controller, but when I go to the real controller setting in dolphin and hit refresh for wiimotes, it doesn't pick the controller up (I have bluetooth on). Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks so much,

WW

One more thing, the graphics on my mac for dolphin are weird (for example, while playing melee kirby's mouth looks all ruffled). Also, what setting do I use to put the game when it starts back inside the control box (i.e. not make a new window when i open my game, just replaces the game selection screen with the game).

For the Wiimote you have to select Real Wiimote, then then pair up then refresh while clicking 1+2 on the controller. Keep repeating that until the Wiimote vibrates.

thanks a bunch! Where's the pair up setting in dolphin and about how long should the 1+2 take?

Hmmm...for some reason my wiimote won't pair, which is weird considering my computer recognizes it is there (on the bluetooth selection screen). Any vids on how to pair it up using a mac?

It turned out I was using a bad wiimote (which is weird...as it worked on my wii), so I've got that all working (I found a great video for anyone having trouble on youtube, btw, just search "Use wii remote with dolphin for Windows and Mac" on youtube). Anyone know how to use an xbox 360/ ps3/ classic controller on gc games (for mac)?
