    JOYSTICK MAPPER

    Joystick Mapper is an application for Mac OS X that lets you map keyboard keys, mouse axes, mouse buttons and mouse wheel to any joystick or gamepad button/axis/hat.

    In other words: This App will let you play any game or use any app with any joystick or gamepad, even the ones that are not compatible with joysticks.

    Really great app! I wanted to see if it would work with my SNES USB controller, and sure enough, it works great! Bastion on my Mac is so much more fun to play with an SNES controller :)

    Update 1.1 released!

    * Lots of user interface Improvements
    * Keyboard keys list reorganized (much easier to find the key you want);
    * You can duplicate bind groups;
    * You can duplicate presets.
    * Informative tooltips;
    * Sortable binds;
    * An option to compact the preset list;
    * All Media keys are working now.


    ----

    Hope you like the update =]

    Some users noticed a problem with mouse when playing Minecraft in a Window.
    If you have this problem, please play in fullscreen mode until I fix this bug.
    I am investigating this issue.


    Anyway, all the other things seems to be working perfectly well, I just need to make some tweaks that some users requested and I think are doable.

    I also would like to thank everybody who bought my app :)

    Good news:
    The current version works perfectly in Mountain Lion (10.8)

    I tested on developer preview version yesterday. ;)

    I am aware of this problem and I am looking for a workaround.
    For now, please play in Fullscreen mode
    (inside the game, F11 , or Fn+F11)
    (this shortcut may conflict with some default shortcuts (see keyboard system preferences)

    Thanks for the bug report.
    I am aware of the problem and will fix soon. Check the previous page for a workaround. =]

    Well, It should be possible to create an app like this from scratch, but it would only be available on Cydia store for jailbroken devices dus to current iOS App Store rules. Unfortunately.

    I have Diablo 3 on my Mac. This game is keyboard/mouse controlled thru the game interface, no support for controler. Would this app make this possible?

    Thanks

    Does anyone use the "Lower Resolution Fullscreen bounds fix" I included in the last version?
    If you let that enabled and is experiencing problems, please disable it!
    It is causing more trouble than being useful, I think I will remove that in the next update.

    Also, I found a bug that prevents the preset from saving if you use ' or " in the names/tags, please dont use then, I will fix this soon.

    Thanks everybody =]

    Does anybody have problems with GTA game's cameras constatly spinning with xbox 360 controllers?

    If yes, please adjust the gamepad's deadzone on system preferences. ;)


    EDIT:
    Nevermind... just found that the game is natively compatible with gamepads in general, but not xbox360 controllers, nothing to do with Joystick Mapper :p
