FIFA 12 for Mac Gamepad issues

Hello everyone,

I'm a Mac user and I'm delighted to see that finally FIFA has made its appearance on the Mac. :) I downloaded it a couple of days ago, it runs great but my Gamepad doesn't work. I have a USB to PS2 adapter that is not supported.
I've tried some of the fixes available but they don't seem to work on a Mac. Also I can't get used of using the keyboard to play, so I would like either to be able to use my current Gamepad or I wouldn't mind buying another one as long as I'm a 100% sure it will work with Mac & FiFA 12!!

So Pleeeease if you have any solution let me know, it will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Marc

BTW, the gamepad is recognised but some buttons don't work at all, or they are not properly mapped. (e.g.: L2 is 'start')

im moving this to the correct forum.

to answer your question, you say its recognized but buttons arent mapped.
you will have to edit the buttonDataSetup.ini to map them correctly.

lots of trial & error.

Thanks. I realised a bit too late that I posted in the wrong place. Sorry...

Does anyone have a 'buttonDataSetup.ini' file that is correctly mapped for a USB to PS2 adapter? I wouldn't know how to start editing... any suggestions?
Thanks!

probably not, but look for it in the fifa 11 file & try copying it over to 12s.

Hey regularcat thanks for the file, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm guessing I have to also change the buttonData.ini file... I'll keep trying... thnx for your help!

It's an official PS2 gamepad. It would be amazing to get it to work, I've trying to play with the Keyboard but I'm finding it extremely difficult to get used to it. Thanks again for your help!

Hey guys - new FIFA12 for Mac user here. I'm using an XBOX 360 wireless controller with the tattieboggle driver, which has worked great for other things.

The problem seems to be the A-B-X-Y buttons are mapped to the wrong stuff. For instance, when I click "X", the game registers an "A"; when I click "Y", it registers an "X", etc. I tried editing the ButtonData.ini and the ButtonDataXenon.ini file to change the mappings, but so far no changes to those files are reflected when I launch the game. The same old screwed up mappings persist no matter what I do.

Is there a trick for getting FIFA to acknowledge new button mapping .ini files? Is there something (besides simply editing the files) that I should be doing?

Thanks!

I've got FIFA 12 for Mac working OK with my Xbox 360 (wired) controller.

It seems to be using the default controller profile. Try replacing the existing one (in buttonData.ini) with this...

Hey Aviator,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunetly it doesn't seem to work... After I change the buttonData.ini, my gamepad still doesn't work properly... I'm using a PS2 to USB adapter thought....
So far the only way I got it to work was by using USB Overdrive... but it doesn't work well with Lion which means my trackpad stops working properly... Arrghh...
I'll keep trying and let you know if I find a fix!
Thanks for your help.

It works great, but RB needs to be swapped with RT and vice versa, same for LB and LT. Other then that looks like it works fine, just trying to work out how to fix this.

Okay so I just did some tinkering myself and I can't work out how to get the triggers to work. I know how to map the trigger actions to the left and right buttons, but I can't get the triggers to be recognised at all. Everything else works brilliantly, except for the RS, it seems pushing up on it goes down and pushing down goes up, but left and right are fine. I just think the appropriate drivers aren't out to fix the triggers. I will contact the author of the Xbox 360 Mac drivers and see if he can do anything, this isn't the first game I've had the issue in, its happened in Modern Combat purchased from the Mac app store.

Hi, just got Fifa 12 for my Mac. Im also a noob on OS X Lion, so don't know how to access the buttondatasetup file. Can I please ask you for some advice regarding how to use my right analog stick? I do not have an official ps2 controller. I use a cheap gamepad like this one:


Thanks a lot in advance. Really. Cheers!

Hi,

I have the original Xbox(not 360) s-controller with USB-adapter. I have installed Xbox HID driver and every button seems to work fine in the System preferences. In FIFA 12 my controller's left stick works just fine and I can move players around the pitch.

How do I edit the buttonData.ini file so that all the buttons will work?

Thanks,

fifa 12 mac x button pauses game on gamepad

so I just bought fifa 12 for my mac, and plugged my logitech gamepad controller (which is basically the same thing as an xbox 360 controller; same layout etc), anyway, everything seems to work perfectly fine except for the fact that every time i press the x button to tackle or pass or anything it pauses the game, just as if i pushed the start button... anyone else experiencing this problem? any ideas?
