Wireless Xbox 360 Controller Apple Mac OSX Hack - Working!

A quick tutorial on how to hack or patch the Xbox 360 Wireless gaming controller driver to get it to work on Apple Macs and OS X. Should also work on Snow Leopard using the 0.08 driver and with the wired controller as well once you know the actual vendor & product IDs for your specific unit.

@odaishisama are you doing this on a hackintosh? what mobo do you use?

[odaishisama]

@avocadomilk2010 yep... Depends, one is my main desktop using a GA-965P-DS3 on a custom modded SGI320 case, another is a special home theater setup on a DQ965CO (BTX board & virtually silent) with large HDTV LCD running EyeTV. And laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1525. All running Vanilla OSX installs.

Great upload , however i'm very new to terminal and being very carful not to snarl my laptop to a paper weight haha. Using your tut i cant read or understand how to remove the chaces or why they need removing. i am useing a wired afterglow 360 controller . is there any ideas to help maybe a few lines that i need to type in to remove everthing i need to .

thanks odishisama

@SERIALKILLERSCULB the reason to remove the caches is to force the update kext to load immediately, otherwise the changes may not come into effect until a few reboots later. Also if you prefer you can download Cocktail or Onyx and use these GUI apps to clean up caches. Otherwise reboot a few times if the changes you made don't seem to work. @xXlastSlayerXx yes, on Snow Leo there's no mkext. Glad you found answer in previous comments.

Solution for wired controller on Lion 10.7.3: /watch?v=8PV0OVRRdqs&context=C­­3e4425bADOEgsToPDskJ-xeM9L3AF­w­9K-a6xav6eJ

For some reason after various trials I got to a point where the controller gets the player number ring to flash, but in the software says no device found. In the list controller in now blue. I am on Lion and using an afterglow controller. Any help?

[DoberFrann]

@MrDJswizzy no, it doesn't work. It actually ask you to use the receiver. If you use Lion, it won't work regardless.

I type in next it says: No such file or directory

Can you use a wireless controller and xbox usb cable?

[reagan232]

Maybe you can help I did everything you did and did not work. Also I bought the xbox 360 wireless Microsoft controller for it to work for my mac. Nothing seems to work. I have a 10.5.8 macbookpro. All I want is for my xbox controller to work on my mac for the games I have on here. HELP

[SkullnoxGaming]

[IceCaps97]

I got to the part after you reboot but when i paired my controller up with my xbox it said "no devices found" in the system settings
