Can You Use Ps4 Controller On Dolphin Emulator Mac
Hi guys.
I used a snes emulator for years now. And I figured that it is time to move on to other emulators. I want my collection on PC of all my favourite games.
I personally think the Playstation 1/2 controller is the best controller of all time. And I have an adapter to play my snes roms with my PSX controller.
Now I got a couple of new emulators. 1 for: N64 (project64_1.6), Dreamcast (ChankastAlpha025), Playstation 1 (ePSXe),
Playstation 2 (pcsx2-0.9.8-r4600), Game Boy + Color + Advance (all in one: VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.2), NES (fceux-2.1.4a), SNES (snes9x-1.52) & Game Cube (dolphin-3.0)
Except for the SNES emulator, I havnt used nor installed any of the others. However I read, those are the best. (if there are better ones for s specific gaming system, please let me know.)
I'd like to play every emulator with a playstation controller, if possible. The N64 (has the Z-button) + Dreamcast controllers are different, so I guess I will have to use my old controllers and get a usb adapter for it. Which one is best here? Or is it possible to play N64 + Dreamcast games properly with a Playstation controller?
For the other emulators, can I use my playstation 2 controller for all of them? If not, what do I need, what is best, what are you using? I am not a big fan of switching tons of controllers every time. The dreamcast controller doesn't have a Z button, but a LCD display in it. Otherwise it should be working like a Playstation controller I hope (no other buttons, like the N64 controller). That would mean only the N64 is an exception here. And with 1 indifferent controller + Playstation controller for the rest, I could live.
Or should I just go with a Playstation 3 controller cause it has already USB? Then again the main question remains if I can use it on all of those named emulators.
I'd appriciate any sort of help.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon. And thank you very much in advance.

Eos utility updater. I was one of those guys that bought the Wii off of eBay shortly after its release at a scalper's ransom. For months my roommates and I would drink beer, talk trash, and play Wii Sports bowling for hours on end. Of course the Wii never got many quality games but the console was worth the price alone for all the fun we had with Wii Sports.
A decade later my Wii doesn't work very well; the discs are scratched and the Wii usually spits out any disk I put into it, which is a shame because my four year old is just getting into gaming. After a bit of research I've found that Dolphin, the emulator I found to play Gamecube games, can also emulate Wii games. It took a few hours of experimentation but I finally figured out how to play Wii games on my Mac. Let's have a look!
Step 1: Get Dolphin
The Dolphin app is an emulator for both Gamecube and Wii. Download and install Dolphin emulator and you should see this screen when you open the app:
Using the Dolphin Emulator you can bring your GameCube and Wii games to the next level. More recent versions only support 64-bit Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Android operating systems, though. Configure Controllers in Dolphin Emulator; 6. How to Fix Corrupted Data on Your PS4.
Step 2 (Optional): Get the Wiimote Dependencies
This step is only required if you want to use real wiimotes to play wii games on your Mac. Many gamers have mentioned that the Xbox controller is an excellent alternative.
Start by opening System Preferences > Bluetooth and ensuring Bluetooth is turned on. Despite being a bluetooth device, the wiimote does require a bit of extra software to work as desired:
- foodhid: OSX IOKit driver for implementing virtual HID devices (joypads, keyboards, etc.)
- WJoy: Nintendo Wiimote driver for Mac OS X. Unfortunately the current version of the original repository has an immediately disconnecting defect so use this forked version which contains fixes so your Wiimote can stay connected.
The WJoy utility may not be needed to play games with Dolphin but it's a very useful app for using a Wiimote for any purpose on Mac. WJoy displays in the menu bar and allows you to open or close Wiimote discoverability. Click the 'Begin Discovery' menu item, then grab your Wiimote and hold the red pairing button near the Wiimote's batteries; WJoy will quickly discover and pair your Wiimote!
DAYSIMThis repository is a fork of the and includes the source code for the suite. 
Programs in this repository compile on Windows (VS2013) and Mac (XCode), but testing is not complete.
Step 3: Configure the Wiimote or Other Remote within Dolphin
Dolphin does not initially detect your Wiimote so you'll need to manually configure your Wiimote (or Xbox controller) within the Options > Controller Settings menu. Find the 'Wiimotes' heading and choose either 'Emulated Remote' (for a controller other than Wiimote) or 'Real Wiimote' if you have a Wiimote.
Notice that you can use up to four real Wiimotes (it works!). You'll also want to turn on the 'Continuous Scanning' option under the 'Real Wiimote' heading.
After initial setup, Dolphin will remember any configuration you've created. Once Dolphin recognizes your Wiimote, the Wiimote will rumble and make the typical Wiimote chime.
Step 4: Load an ISO and Play!
Click Dolphin's 'Open' icon and choose an Wii game ISO file. The game will start and you're ready to play!
My 2017 13' MacBook Pro plays Wii Sports flawlessly, even without the Wii sensor bar. The swinging and other Wiimote motions are just as responsive as my old Wiimote. Kudos to the developers of Dolphin and the Wiimote drivers for making all of this Magic happen!
