With the code below we will mimic the behavior seen with “Half-Life 2: Episode 2” so we can use exec 360controller and exec undo360controller. Creating such a configuration file is easy, simply use a text editor like TextWrangler to create a plain text file with the (example) content below. Tip: First try exec 360controller in the developer console before proceeding with these steps – it might already work!įor these two, we will need to define a configuration file (which can also be used with the other games to customize the controls). To disable the controller, type: exec undo360controller Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One To enable the controller, type in the developers console (~): exec 360controller These Valve games come with XBox 360 controller support build in. Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead Once enabled (your game will remember next time you start the game), use the “ ~” key (tilde) during game play, or in the main screen, to get to the console.

Check the option “ Enable developer console (~)” and click “ Apply“.

From the main menu select “ Options” “ Keyboard” and click the “ Advanced” button.

It didn’t take much effort to find this Knowledge Base Article at Steam, concerning the use of a XBox 360 Controller on Mac with Source games (Half-Life is a so called “Source” game by Valve).įirst we need to get into the so called “Developer Console”, which is relatively easy for most Valve games.

Well, I’m a Steam user, so the first thing I’d like to test are some of my favorite games like the “Half-Life 2” series – yes, I know it’s OLD, but I just love the Half-Life games and Half-Life 3 is still not available (I honestly doubt it will ever see the day of light, but I’m still hoping) …

#Install steam controller mac driver#

UPDATE: There is a 360 Controller driver that is being actively maintained, a fork of the original project, you can get it from GitHub as well: For this, seemingly abandoned driver, you’d need some tricks to get it to work under Yosemite – which is related to new “rules” concerning the use of Kext’s (Kernel Extensions). And there is such a think in this case.Ĭolin Munro, at TattieBogle, released a driver as early as 2006, which appears not to have been updated since 2012. So we require a driver created by another party.

Unfortunately, Microsoft, doesn’t feel the need to supply drivers for Mac users for their hardware, which is unfortunate and leaves the user with the mess to solve by themselves. Drew Mills was not one of them.MacOS X does not natively come with drivers for the XBox 360 controller, which makes sense, it’s not their responsibility to provide hardware drivers for 3rd party hardware manufacturers, especially when they choose to swerve away from standards … Upon reboot in Panic Medic mode I've been asked to allow all the third-party extensions by developers.
