Play Call of Duty 4 on Mac with Xbox 360 Controller - Joystick Mapper

This video shows myself playing the Mac OS X version of Call of Duty 4 using a Xbox 360 Joypad. Note that this game does NOT have built-in support for gamepads/joysticks.

To be able to play this game using that controller (and many others, like the Playstation 3 one), I used the "Joystick Mapper" application, which allows you to use joysticks or gamepads in any Mac application or game, even the ones without builti-in support.

You can download it here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/joysti...
And here is its the website: http://joystickmapper.com/

About the app configuration:

It comes with a "FPS Example" (you can find it on "File - Load Examples" menu), which is mostly based on Call of Duty, I just changed the Dpad Up and Dpad Down mappings to "Night Vision" and "Grenade Launcher" which are equivalent to keyboard keys N and 5, respectively.

About the game configuration:

I unbind "Go to Crouch", and bind "Change Stance" to the "C" key,
I also recommend changing the Right Mouse Button mapping from "Toggle Aim down the Sight" to "Aim down the Sight" (I did not do this on this video), so it behaves more like the Xbox 360 version.

Also, set the Mouse sentisitivity to a low value, it feels better in my opinion.

You may need to install a driver if you want to use your xbox 360 controller on mac: http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/Proj...

Also, if you have a *wireless* controller like me you will need the "Xbox Wireless Gaming Receiver". The wired works without this.

Works with emulators like dolphin on Mac? I mean PS3 Controller.

Thanks in advance.

It doesnt work with Dolphin but Dolphin have native joystick support;

[ATOM ReLiXesS]

its not working with a ps3 controller ??

[Rodrigo Rocha]

yes, it works. If you have problems pairing, connect it using USB instead of bluetooth

[UrmUrs]

On mine when I press reload it reloads, but immediately shoots one bullet/burst after reloading...help please?!?

[Rodrigo Rocha]

did you change the preset with something? maybe you mapped shoot again to the same as reload.

[ArtistSimpleTv]

I tried the change stance and I guess that what works cheers

[ArtistSimpleTv]

one immediate problem I keep having is that no one has developed a command for when a button is held. (I had the same problem on gamepad companion)

For example: On the ps3 controller I cannot prone. I won't to be able to hold down circle to prone like on the console

or do you have a solution because that would be very useful?

[Rodrigo Rocha]

send a email to costumer support with details.

[Rodrigo Rocha]

From what I read, they recommend unninstalling the drivers, so I guess the driver is not compatible, which is a shame, as this problem didnt happen on their older games and they assume people only uses xbox 360 controller.

Anyway, you probably can set the game to keyboard mode and use Joystick Mapper instead of native support, just check if you can disable joystick support in their games.
