#Xbox controller on mac mini manual#
I've read on the manual that comes with the controller titled "Registering (pairing) the controller" that there is a need to pair it on the PS4 console to complete registration. I tried the controller on Fez, Rayman Origins and Monaco-which all have joystick support-but no luck.Īlso tried mapping the controller thru Joystick Mapper, it will say "1 Joystick Connected" but when I try to bind the controller, click "scan" while clicking a button on the controller, nothing. The computer detects the controller but the games I have doesn't seem to recognize any inputs on the DS4. I got the DS4 yesterday (controller only, no console) and tested it on my Mac but it doesn't seem to work. Regarding libSDL2.dylib, I expect to check it for naming updates every day until it stops getting deleted.I read here that the DS4 will work on Mac out-of-the-box by plugging the controller via a micro USB cable-they said it will automatically work as a regular joystick. I hope this helps someone else as this seems to be an ongoing and evolving issues.

If you're reading this and found you have SteamInput.kext in your library extensions folder, could you perhaps share it with those who do not have it? Even though a kext file is a security issue, I'm still looking for that freestanding file. I haven't found a way to get this file by itself. If you're like me, going to that steam thread and running kmutil (which has also been updated since) you may find that you dont have a SteamInput.kext in the /Library/Extensions folder.

Valve didnt make an update to driverkit so thats why we have issues. To recap the long steam thread, mac changed from kext files for controller input to a new framework called driverkit.

If you download the above mentioned file (and keep it on hand just in case!) you can rename libSDL2.dylib to libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib and replace that file and your controller should start working again. The file would randomly be removed every day or so and now I saw a new file (maybe per an update?) that was called libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib. After a few times, the controller didn't work for stardew anymore even though libSDL2.dylib was in place.

Update for those who are on mac intel and above methods worked and then stopped working.Įvery time I play on either my mac mini or macbook with a controller I have to unpair the controller, add it, and check that the libSDL2.dylib is in place. Hit approve in this location when it shows up and you're away.Īfter that the controller should be detected correctly. You will need to go to System Preferences, Security and Privacy, General Tab, and then when you try to use it the first time it will not let you because it's not approved.
