Hello, I'm a Mac. What Joystick should i buy?
on: November 02, 2007, 12:55:43 pm
hi to all,
two days ago i found about this project and now i have everything set up at home... evrything, but a joystick.
i have a Mac mini, which i think won't give me the Best graphics in the universe, but something decent i belive...
and when i went to look for my old, dusty joystick, i found out that it was one of those that had a serial port.  :mad:

so... i have a Mac, and i want a joystick... its a pretty difficult thing to find.
what do you recommend?
i don't mind the price so much... but well... the less we spend, the less my girlfriend beats me.  :D

btw: anyone from Argentina in here?

THANKS!!!

Just get a Logitech Dual Action gamepad.  They're cheap and should be compatible,  There are two problems though...

1:  They aren't a flashy, yuppie colored and unnaturally designed piece of hardware.
2:  They aren't outrageously expensive.

Certain features like buttons, axes, and hats should be recognized by the system no problem.  If there is a problem, it likely has to do with feedback or button control.

I did some research and found out that Mac OS 10.2.3 introduced better force-feedback support.

ch controllers work on anything.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

I think UT is full-blood American but he does live in the Virgin Islands (lucky bastard).
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

 :eek: A computer that is just like a human...  (referring to topic title)

*you wish*
*talking to yourself is the first sign of madness*

Heheh, I don't think so, we're risking our lives out here, we deserve a straight answer.

Do Microsoft joysticks work with Macs?  *probably not*
If they do, a Sidewinder 2 is a heavy gutsy joystick with big forcefeed back(I think anyway)
His legacy will last until the beginning.
