Played Doukutsu and with Mupen64Plus, works like a charm. I use a Saitek Controller, cant remember which one, for Mac OS 10.5.8, works good and ON THE FLY.

It totaly ROCKS. There's no Mac support yet but they say it's coming. What it does is it turns your iPod/iPhone into a motion detecting game controller so you can plat any game on your PC by tilting your phone around. You also have all the keys and throttles on the touch screen so it's realy comfortable. Everything is realy close and you can control the whole game with two thumbs.

I got my mac in 2004 and I have been using a NYKO AIR FLO Ex since back then and its absolutely fine. never had any problems in fact i've grown to like it more than any other controller.

Logitech's hardware always seems to be great, but the software drivers for OS X have ALWAYS been CRAP! It's been that way for over a decade. So true, so true.

I use one of these for RPGs but these are very programmable with the available software for both Windows and Mac OS X users. These are not your conventional hand held controller but once you get use to them they perform very nicely. Has anyone ever considered the game controller N50 or N52 from Belkin?
