dualshock3+macos.txt

You are happy owner of macbook with new os and dream to play favorite new games via Steam or old-school via emulators... 
And in one day you checked Amazon and WOW - PS gamepad copy only for 12$?! Awesome! "Shut up and take my money!"©
You aren't stupid and googled first, that macOS supports ps gamepads from scratch - Double-Awesome!

And here is that day - you opened gamepad box and followed instruction https://theultralinx.com/2014/02/connect-playstation-3-controller-mac-os-mavericks/ or http://osxdaily.com/2014/12/28/connect-playstation-3-controller-mac-os-x/
But... NOTHINK WORKS!!! Oh my god! Is your controller is a fake?!
PATIENCE!

   - 'LastServiceUpdate' with 'Date' type and content: current date
   - also find 'ClassOfDevice' and change it's value to 1,288 (This valu automatically was changed by system for me and I don't check if this is required)

 9. Save file and move it to '/Library/Preferences' with replacement
 10. Go to '~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/' and look for 'com.apple.Bluetooth.XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.plist' file and delete it (You can make a backup copy if want, but this file recreated by system at start, for me)
 11. Open 'Terminal' app and paste next command 'defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist'. Hit Return/Enter to execute command (caching new file)
 12. Reboot your macbook
 13. Turn On BT from menu bar and press P3 button on gamepad. BT icon should be change on new (with dots) and gamepad should blink slowly after few seconds (after connect)
 14. If is that - congratulations! You have succesfully connected your new gamepad with your notebook. No additional system configs required (Only in-app binding for some specific cases)
 
 If you have other Chinese gamepad - you also can check this flow. If it doesn't help - please check original thread - https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/issues/1041
