PS3 game pad??

cbmeeks

I'm new to GameSalad. I've read that a PS3 controller can work with a Mac. Being a console fan and a fan of side scrollers, would it be possible to get a PS3 controller to work with GameSalad? I might try this weekend but was curious if anyone had tried.

Thanks

Not possible, gamesalad only recognizes keyboard, mouse or touch

The simple answer is no... Not with Gamesalad. Don't let that stop you joining in the fun though! Definitely do give it a try this week end.

Well, that's what I hate about Macs. I mean, I love the UNIX, easy Rails development, etc but I miss the easy XBox 360 controllers and XNA of Windows.

I will tinker around but I'm too old school and can't play platformers with a pretend, touch, glass "controller". lol

Now if I could get the PS3 controller to register keystrokes then.....lol

Thanks!

I haven't tried them but they could have a keystroke function. Check e out
