You do still need to do the 'lightly press' thing if you're using the input detection or the digital button still gets detected first.

I've submitted the change so if the maintainers accept it it should make it's way into the main builds sometime. If you're able to build from source the changes are at:

I've made a change to the Dolphin input code that fixes the issue. This means they all get confused together and cannot work correctly. The Mac input code in Dolphin chooses a name for all unknown axis based on the device type, so in this case you end up with 36 axis all named '1'.

The Mac HID driver for the PS3 controller has 44 (!) analog axis (I guess it's all the accelerometer stuff) but all other than the basic well known ones all label themselves as pointer devices.

Yes it definitely ruins Mario Sunshine if you can't get analog triggers -)ДЄs far as I can see though there is a software change needed to make this work correctly. Yes there is an inbuilt PS3 controller driver on modern macOS versions You *do* need to do the 'Lightly press the trigger half down' thing when detecting the it in the config screen otherwise you will always get the digital button rather than the analog axis

Yes there is both a digital button press and an analog signal for the triggers that can be confusing when configuring I found that I had the same problem on OS X with a PS3 sixaxis controller. (make sure you do not move your controller as it also uses motion controls, and Dolphin may map that instead.) Then pull the trigger all the way to the maximum. Then click the button bind (in this case analog L or R).

There is a way you can set it to only detect the analog axis. Problem being: when you pull the triggers on the DS3 controller both a digital button AND an analog axis is responding.

I don't even think you need to install drivers for it, if it is able to detect the controller it should be fine.ДЄFAIK the Apple kernel has the same support for DS3 controllers as the Linux kernel, so it should be able to detect all controls. Thank you for your reply! I shall continue my search for an answer. Darn the 'lightly press' necessity! Sometimes, being a Mac user is the pits. For every other game, it has worked fine. I didn't install any drivers, maybe that's my problem. (04-01-2016, 01:10 PM)QRSmith Wrote: As far as I know, it is a fully functional PS3 controller. I need any, and all help you folks are willing to give me. I've included a screenshot of what my settings are that have worked for me so far. I have successfully played other games with my PS3 controller on Dolphin many times, but this is the first time I have needed the different pressure reading of the buttons. I figure that it's partly because I don't fully understand all fancy talk, and because most of the posts are about Windows computers, and they don't completely translate to the Mac version. I have followed every instruction list I've been able to find, and none of them seem to work. For the life of me, I can not get this to work. My issue is this, I'm trying to play Super Mario Sunshine, and as most of you will know, you have to be able to 'lightly press the R button'. I should say first that I have very little knowledge in the computer world, but I'm gracious for all help you're willing to give! I'm a first-time poster, please be gentle! haha
