![]() Connecting with a USB registers it as a Generic USB Controller. X is for firing autoplunger and dropping bombs in certain gamesĪgain I don't own the PS3 console itself so I have no idea how this compares to the way things are there.Įdit: Just checked the assignments with the controller and updated the post with correct information.You can use a PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 controller, but they're not plug and play and overall people tend to go for a Logitech 710 or 770 because there's less hassle. right analog stick operates manual plunger trigger buttons (number 2, the lower triggers) control Magna-Save trigger buttons (number 1, the upper triggers) control flippers TPA maps the PS3 controller as following: I find this isn't as big a drawback as the inability to reassign keyboard keys since the controller is the same everywhere, keyboard layouts differ by country/region. TPA doesn't allow you to manually assign buttons, it has a fixed configuration for the controller. Since TPA doesn't allow me to reassign keys, how does it work?Yeah, it just works. The emulator itself allows me to assign buttons. Are you saying that TPA "just works"? How do the button assignments happen? I usually use the PS3 controller with an arcade emulator.

Just make sure the controller is connected to the Mac before launching TPA. I noticed the arrow buttons (whatever the correct gaming term is) can scroll through tables in the listing, but that's about it, haven't discovered any other PS3-enabled things apart from the game itself.Įdit: Oh and by the way, the wireless PS3 controller does not require any additional software to be used with Mac & TPA. It is so annoying having to reach my trackpad to start games and navigate the menus (which in itself is an experience that leaves a lot to be desired). It works so fantastically in-game that I'd like the entire Pinball Arcade user interface to be equipped with PS3 navigation. ![]() The symbol buttons also conveniently change settings like camera angle, which I imagine works the same on the PS3 console. Setting it up for the first time wasn't the most straight-forward thing in the world, but the end result is well worth it: playing TPA with the controller is awesome with less button lag (evident with a keyboard) and precise nudging using the left analog stick. Bumping up this thread, after having bought a PS3 controller for my Mac today, for this very purpose. ![]()
