Game Controller

[mrbosk]

Picked one up a Fry's today. I followed the installed instructions, but doesn't seem compatible with the NX70. Has anyone else tried this yet?

This worked for me!

Trying to get it to work for me but every time I try to install the update files viz hotsync. It locks my machine:( Maybe I will try to re-download. Either way thanks for the tip!

remove the old files first, then try again. It works on my nx..

I was wondering if the game controller worked - so it does, right????

[mrbosk]

Yes I finally got it to work using the new drivers, and removing the old ones as Lizard recommended. Other than that works like a charm!

What games will the controller work with?

[mzenker]

can someone post the the files here, i'm a mac user and the .exe file is usless to me and additionally sony's server is not allowing any downloads right now.

thanks in advance,

Thanks for the link to the new driver, don't know why I never remember to look on the Sony site for them. It works great now with PacMan.

I returned it also, If you use a mac you cannot install the updated drivers and you cannot make it work. They should have included the documentation for it to work with all computers, since I bought them both at the same time. Is it the same with the wifi card can you install the drivers with a mac?

[mzenker]

Fortunately, I have a Windows PC and easily installed the drivers (actually, I burned the .prc files to a CD-RW) and moved them to my Mac and hotsynced.

The controller is great! Don't return yours if you don't have a PC just ask a friend if you can download the drivers and copy them to some other media, the controller is worth the extra effort.

The Wi-Fi card from Sony>> no issues with a Mac (using MissingSync), setting up the card is another thing.

If it's legal (someone let me know) I'll put the game controller files up somewhere for Mac users to download.

I can't see why it wouldn't be legal, they are freely available from sony's support site. Anyone can download them. Plus it's not a program you can actually use unless* you have bought the game controller. :) So it should be all good. :)

[Mugs]

Well, I'm on my way to buy a game controller for my NX60 - hope it works. Now I can have my "adult" gameboy version of my kids adance gameboy.

[Lizard]

I have both :) just in case.. can't beat gb advance for some of the games :)

[GodOD]

I'm on a Mac too. Could someone PLEASE post the .prc files somewhere so us Mac people can use the game controller? Thanks!

You might want to exercise your 30 day fry's return policy after you see this: http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=nm6wm219e2ic82k&id=1001379 . Its not a scam. I bought mine from there and it comes sealed in the box.

I think the return policy might be up now since the controller was purchased on January 16th. ;)
