Hi guys,

I know this question is asked a lot so I apologize. I have tried tons of google searching and cannot figure out my problem. I am trying to use a USB controller on Snes9x version 1.53 on Mac OS version 10.6.8. I bought 2 of these controllers http://amzn.com/B0034ZOAO0. Super cheap but they worked great on my friend's PC.

I have tried to configure the controller using this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CRAOcL6suQ which is essentially just loading up SNES9x and then going to Config>Configure Controllers and then trying to set it up. It does not work. The controller is the only thing plugged into the USB ports on the laptop. It seems like Snes9x is just not recognizing the USB controller. Nothing happens when I hit buttons on the controller.

I have USB Overdrive which does recognize the controller and also maps the buttons when I hit them so I know that the controller is working fine. I just cannot get Snes9x to detect it.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

I figured out a workaround. I mapped the controller buttons to keyboard buttons using USB Overdrive. Seems to work.

If you are getting the message the following command- fixed my problem:
You can also modify the following line on the configuration file (located on /etc/snes9x/snes9x.conf on Debian).
