Using sixpair on PowerPC Mac for RetroArch gaming. Before that: used sixpair from http://dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/sixpair on Intel Mac (El Capitan) for injecting PowerPC Mac's BT address.

Notes

The controller almost works wirelessly, but it keeps pressing "D-pad down" button and disconnects. Since there is a warning on my PPC compiling tryout... it must be some bug.

Check this Imgur Gallery for some pics.

I also forked some fork of the original sixpair - that seems to have DualShock4 support.

May RetroArch and it's input drivers help?

May DDHidLib help? (Before the 64-bit commit aka: PPC dropped, heh)

To-Do

[x] Compile sixpair on Intel Mac

[x] Do some testing with the injected BT address from PowerPC Mac

[x] Test with HTML5Gamepad

  • It worked on Firefox Quantum on my Intel Mac; but not on TenFourFox on my PowerPC Mac.
  • May IOKit don't recognize the controller even on USB? Hmm...

  • Compile my forked version with alleged DualShock4 support. It may have some bugfixes...

  • Compile my forked version on PowerPC Mac

  • Play RetroArch with my DualShock3 controller

Tried running an already compiled sixpair for Mac. I only needed pointing out libusb-legacy's dylib from MacPorts.

Tried compiling sixpair on PowerPC Mac. Even with libusb-legacy include files... all versions of GCC refuses borks at the linking stage.
