How to use orignal XBOX gamepad controller S under OSX ? (not xbox 360)

Hi,

i'd like to use my original xbox (not XBOX 360 !) controller on my MBA running under OSX 10.7.

I tried to install Xbox HID Driver 1.3.4 for Mac OS X from http://xhd.sourceforge.net, but installation failed under Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

I'm getting an error message during installation.

So, is it possible to use my old xbox controller with my mac ?

Thanks !

Here is the controller what I'm talking about : the "controller S"

I bought a USB adapter for this controller :

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I am trying to do the exact same thing. Like you I failed to install that driver. Doesn't seem to be much else out there. Let me know if you have found anything. Think I will just have to step up and buy another controller.

Sorry to be of no help..but you're not the only one to have this problem if that means anything 😐

Go to the Xbox site and see what compatability issues there are or if there are upgraded drivers for Lion 10.7.2 If not then ask when and if they are going to release drivers that will be compatable.

Good Luck
