Compatible Gamepads

[Sašo]

In here, post if the gamepad WORKS, not if it DOESN'T. Generally Mari0 should work with any gamepad detected by the operating system. Variation (i.e. Home or Professional on Windows) shouldn't matter. Also post it it works natively (i.e. no drivers needed/automatically provided by OS or if you have to install them from manufacturer's site/cd) or if you need to use software to emulate a different controller/keyboard. Underneath each controller will be a list of systems and software (if needed) with which it works.
Also, post any useful emulation software that you know of that might be useful to others.

Note: The controller has to be connected and recognised by the OS before the game is started, otherwise it will not be detected in the game.

Playstation 3 - Sixaxis / Dualshock3
- Windows 7 - DS3tool
- Windows XP - Third party drivers or native
- OSX 10.6 - native

Playstation 2 - Dualshock2 (with Speedlink SL-6502 adapter)
- Windows (all) - supplied


Xbox 360 controller
- Windows 7 - native support
- Windows 8 - native support
- OSX Lion - Third party driver
- Ubuntu 11.10 - native support


Logitech Dual Action Gamepad
- Windows 7 - native
- Windows XP - supplied drivers
- OSX ? - ControllerMate


Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710
- Windows XP - supplied


Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510

------------

So basically post your operating system, your gamepad's full name, the software you have to use - if it installs automatically, say "native". If you have to use manufacturer's supplied drivers (CD or website) say supplied drivers. If you need some software made by third party, give the name and preferably a link.. Also, for the sake of consistency and ease of use, let's assume we're all running the most up to date versions of each OS's release.

I can confirm that my Xbox 360 controller along with the drivers supplied here (http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/Projec ... /OsxDriver) are working with no issues on OSX Lion.

Logitech's Dual Action Gamepad works wonderfully. Running Windows XP Home along with the Logitech Controller Profiler and the necessary drivers installed.

DualShock3 with Tamamy Ikesu's driver works perfectly for me (WinXP 32bits here). I've only tested it with the wire though, need to buy a new bluetooth dongle...

edit: i haven't tested it, but it also should work just fine with stock windows drivers since it behaves as a plain dualanalog joypad by default.

Could you clarify if drivers are supplied or do you have to use third party software

it is native support. drivers installed on their own, so it's just simple plug n play

If you store stuff that doesn't work then a:
Saitek Digital Throttle Gamepad - P220 doesn't work D: No axes.

My controller works for it. Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510, but it has to be on X-input in order for it to work. Windows 7 32 bit

x-input? Could you clarify that? A driver setting or what? also, native or supplied?

On the back of the controller you can make it direct input or x input, was only working with x input. What do you mean by driver and native or supplied?

[Sašo]

Did you just connect the controller and windows found drivers itself or did you have to use a supplied CD?

[Moncole]

It came with a CD I had to install

[Camewel]

PS3 controller has native support on OSX 10.6 and later. You need to plug in the wire and turn it on first time, but then it works over bluetooth perfectly.

[MrEm]

I'm having trouble getting a controller to work. in osx 10.6.8

I can't figure out how to turn off or change the mouse owner option for player one.

i've tried using a ps3 controller (through usb and bluetooth) and another dual analog controller. I can move down and change the left, right, up, and down to correspond to the left analog stick, but no option is available to configure the right stick.

The odd part is that if select the option to configure the player 2-4 controls the mouse owner option is automatically set to no and the right analog stick is configurable.
I just cant change the mouse owner option for player one.

[MrEm]

Nevermind, I went back and downloaded the game from stabyourself.net mirror instead of the other one and it works great!

[cncool]

I can confirm that Logitech's Dual Action Gamepad works on Mac OS X using ControllerMate.

[SammiSeldowitz]

My controller works for it. Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510, but it has to be on X-input in order for it to work. Windows 7 32 bit

I have the same controller, Windows 7 64-bit, and it works in both direct input and x-input for me. I have it in direct input, because the triggers won't work for me in x-input (they're analog instead of buttons, and when I try to set it to use portals it says "You can only set buttons for this").

[Triple-P94]

Saitek P880 Dual Analog
works on
Win Vista Home Premium 32bit -native support
Ubuntu 11.10 -native support

[ducharles]

Is there a way to play local multiplayer without a gamepad, I cant seem to change player 2's aimx and aimy key into a keyboard key , it gives you a"you can only set axes for this"message, could there be any software which would allow your keyboard to emulate a gamepad or something like that?

[TheCakeIsALie]

Wireless Xbox 360 controller with Wireless Receiver
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Works fine with Mari0.

When I first set up my controller I had to use these drivers in order for my laptop to recognize the wireless receiver:
Drivers

Also, I think I may have had to use one of the methods here to get the drivers to install correctly. It was a while ago so I don't really remember which one.

[BenMcLean]

My logitech dual action gamepad worked fine on windows 7 64-bit. It's arrow buttons are screwed up (probably a physical and not software problem) but everything worked fine using the thumb lever deals.

I have found that the gamepad is much better to control the actual mario levels while the keyboard and mouse work better on the portal map packs.

[teryakisan]

My Game-Elements GGE909 works flawlessly with mari0. Windows xp sp3 default driver.

[Franpa]

null.

[Mariboy]

Does anyone know about the Mad Catz xbox 360 controller?

Check yourself.

Your gamepad dont work? Buy/download XPADDER and config your controller.

[natewiebe13]

Xbox 360 Controller works perfectly on Ubuntu 11.10 (Not sure on the first compaitble version) using no additional drivers.

[jeggy]

PS3 joysticks works under Ubuntu 11.10 and should all the others too.
With this software http://qtsixa.sourceforge.net/
It also works through bluetooth if your pc/laptop has it

[Dato]

So I can't use my 5$, 4 year-old Logic3 gamepad with a single axis????

[Redux]

PlayStation Portable with Fusa Gamepad (CFW only) works pretty well with Mari0. :)

[Bullete]

Play Station 2 - Dualshock 2 (with adapter)
Windows XP (SP3) - native drivers

*EDIT: My adapter is Speedlink SL-6502. Supplied drivers also work well:

[12seth12]

Wii Remote, on OSX Lion.
works with using the program "DarwiinRemote" but mari0 won't recognize the nunchuck joystick so you can't use portals.
but can still control mario fine.

[lovechild]

My PS3 pad by PowerA identified as "HORI CO.,LTD. BDA GP1" works natively in Windows and Ubuntu Linux.

[labdude0]

Original NES controller works with Windows 7 with a retro-bit usb converter, but there aren't enough buttons xD

[WanderingTedium]

Chalk the Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 on that list.

Still running Windows XP Home along with the same Logitech Controller Profiler and the necessary drivers installed.

[JohnnyM21]

cd-r king USB Dual Shock Gamepad GP-USBDS-001-M is comaptible with Mari0. Native, plug and play. Works perfectly fine.
MS Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1.

[Marcus]

I'm pretty sure this would still be considered an xbox controller, but both the Mad Catz and Afterglow Xbox 360 Controllers (wired) work.
Windows 7 64bit
Both were plug-n-play.

[lovechild]

GGE909? That Xbox controller rip-off with the retracable cable? Functions in Linux natively, though the special non-gaming buttons fail to work.

[ghostshadow25]

My Logitiec dual action gamepad won't work for me?

[Sašo]

Well then you're obviously doing something wrong.

Check if it's listed and if it responds in the control panel. And make sure your everything is up to date.

[Eleenrei]

FuSa Gamepad works (only for psp) (Website http://www.foosa.do.am) just go to the FuSa Gamepad picture :)

[humodz]

Do I really need a gamepad to play without using mouse?

[Camewel]

No, you don't.
However, you will lose your portals.

[humodz]

It would be vinteresting if there was a liero/worms-like aiming method :>
