CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello,

I've downloaded from steam the game "Mark of the ninja" that works on crossover without any problem, except one.

I'm using the Xbox 360 wireless controller with tattiebogle drivers. On this particular game the gamepad it's recognized, but the buttons are messed up (B is recognized like A, A like X etc.).

I have tried a wired logitech joypad and it works fine, but i prefer the Xbox controller...

Do you have any idea how to remap the buttons?

Just a note: the Xbox 360 controller works fine on my mac games, so it is not a drivers issue.

Thanks!!

I don't know if there is a way to do that now. Xpadder is a program that can do that on Windows but I haven't gotten it running in CX just quite yet.
However, there will be a way of doing that in the future I hope, the next (I think 14) version of CX might do do that as that Wine version should have some support for remapping joysticks. I am curious to learn if there is another way that works now.

OMG how did you achieve that?

The 'B like A, A like X issue' is simply the difference between XInput (newer) and DirectIput (older) button mappings, and the specific problem you're experiencing indicates that the X360 Controller is pouring XInput-styled input into OS X, which is what I've been seeking for a really long time…

There're many modern games accepting only XInput-styled input, and OS X games that have yet to get inside MAS are doing the same, too. OS X simply don't accept XInput controllers if without 3rd party driver, and thus I have failed to play a lot of games (ALL Valve's titles, Bastion, Trine, on Steam) with a controller…

It looks like the game you're playing is expecting DirectInput-styled input. Well, if the driver you are using do not provide remapping function, maybe you need to use another driver…
