Hello! I followed all instructions that you gave, and my wired pro controller will not work when I launch Stardew valley. The arrow moves around fine on steam but as soon as I launch SV, it doesn’t work. Any tips? I’m using a MacBook Air M2, system updated to current update.

So I don’t have SDV through Steam, but looking around it seems like the Mac version of SDV seems to have mixed results with controller support. I did find a forum page talking about a file you can replace that seems to have great success in fixing it. The forum page has the file to download and then how to actually install it. Most of the people seem to be running the game from GoG rather than Steam, but I believe it should work just as well. Maybe you can give it a try forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/no-sound-with-libsdl2-2-0-0-controller-fix.14450/#post-115714

Honestly I haven't. It feels like it's an abandoned development area. My thinking is that what gaming that is on Mac has become centered in digital gaming stores, namely Steam, Epic, and the Mac App Store (along with smaller ones like the Humble Bundle, GOG, and Mac Game Store). Most of those provide API's or tools to map game controllers for them. As a result most developers probably won't worry about adding it to their game until it's in a Store that can help offer those capabilities assuming they feel it is appropriate for their game. Keep in mind this is purely my speculation. I'm not a game developer so this line of thought could be misguided. I know developers have to do some work to add it to their game, but some store fronts do take off some of the burden. Suffice to say, I haven't found a good alternative on modern versions of Mac OS. You might have to stick to what Steam, Apple, and the rest of them provide. I'm sorry

3rd-party controllers are hit or miss. It seems Apple only provides full support for the official Nintendo controllers. Some third party ones work (typically those that Nintendo has officially licensed) but even those aren't guaranteed. Your best support will come with the official Nintendo controllers. But that said, please try and let us know what you find. It would be good to have a list of any other controllers that do work.

The OS keeps pairing the controllers as one device (Joy-Con L/R). When I go to System Settings and scroll to the bottom it shows Joy-Con (L), just above trackpad and keyboard, and under Game Controllers it shows (Joy-Con L/R). I have tried holding both the home and capture buttons for 3 seconds but this does nothing only open my app > games directory. I am using M1 Max and Sonoma 14.3.1

When they get re-added, do they still go back to this configuration? Normally a full forget should clear that, so perhaps something is preventing that from clearing out. I think there's another way to force that, but I don't have access to my Switch for a couple of days, so I'll have to get back to you on that.

I cannot get this to work for Disney dream light valley. Im using joycons and got them to connect to the Mac book and I got the version of dream light valley from the App Store. The Mac recognizes the joycons as a single controller and work on the Mac but as soon as I open dream light valley they don’t do anything. I’ve added the game to the controllers and renamed the controllers to Disney and still nothing. Dream light valley for Mac says it’s compatible with controllers which is why this is so frustrating. They are licensed Nintendo joycons that came with the switch.
@EasyOSX
5 ай бұрын
Admittedly I haven't tried Dreamlight Valley specifically. If I had to guess, it could be a bug in the game's code that doesn't see the joycons as a unified controller despite the Mac recognizing them. It could also be something in the settings of the game that you have to enable. As frustrating as it is, you might look at getting another controller that's compatible such as the Switch Pro Controller and syncing that to see if it works.

Great video, thanks for making these! One question I'd love help with is how to make the button remappings in Ventura work with Xbox Cloud Gaming. I'm using a Switch Pro Controller so the A/B X/Y buttons operate inverted when trying to play something like Halo. I'm running the latest Ventura so I've tried using the remapping settings you cover in this video but I see now affect in the Xbox Cloud games running in the browser. Have you experimented with this to see if it's possible? Would love to figure this out thanks!
@EasyOSX
Жыл бұрын
I have not, I haven’t used Xbox Cloud Gaming. If they did have something like that, I imagine it would be in the settings, but I also imagine that would be in an app rather than in a browser setting. I also could see them assuming you just have an Xbox controller and don’t need to remap anything, though that would also conflict with their accessibility controller

Which apps are you referring to? If you are playing games from the Mac App Store, then you don't need any other app besides the game so long as the game has native controller support. For Steam games it'll be the same thing, though Steam will need to be running in order to help map controls. If it's for games downloaded outside a major storefront like that, like Minecraft or itch.io then it's really hit or miss

Thanks for the tips! I've tried some months ago pairing both JoyCons without success, so now pressing both buttons for 3sec made it works? And is it also possible to mapp 2 joycons paired as one controller like you showed with the pro controller? I need to try this for sure (I wonder why there is no message that tells you both joycons are paired). Do you know if this works also with emulator such OpenEmu?

Glad I could help! You can use the Joy-Cons as a single unit! Connect a Left and Right Joy-Con via Bluetooth to the machine then start the video at 01:28 and go from there. As far as OpenEMU I haven't used that myself so my experience is limited. I looked at the documentation page for OpenEMU, though, and it says the Pro Controller is supported, but the Joy-Cons are not listed. Not to say they couldn't work, but it may not be as simple.

Жыл бұрын
The Joy-Cons aren't offered the same flexibility in button mapping MacOS, only the Pro Controller. As for OpenEMU, it's similar to the issue with Steam. Steam, OpenEMU, the game, etc. may use some different methods for handling input that override the system's own settings. Not a great analogy, but think of it the same way when you're playing a game on your machine using the keyboard: it's not typing anything in the background but instead is interpreting that key press in different way. In this case, OpenEMU's own controller settings are likely going to override MacOS' or they may conflict with one another. OpenEMU may decide it's easier to support the Pro Controller with its more traditional setup than the Joy-Cons with can be a controller with multiple different configurations.
