What Happened to it. I have emailed him but he won't talk.
Before then I purchased an Interact game pad and emailed them for OSX drivers, but they told me there will never be any OSX drivers.
There answer was that OSX does not even support game controllers.
Is this true? Is there any other USB overdrive like software out there? I was hoping to surf the internet and work on Photoshop with the Pad

try using this USB overdrive X beta. if you ever want to find software, always check versiontracker first. they generally have what you're looking for.

I'm sorry for the mix up But that is what I was asking about.
So have you had it to work with a Game Pad or joystick?
I'm on OSX

sorry, i don't own any USB joysticks or game pads so i can't test it out for you. try it out... if it works, you're in business.

the USBoverdrive for X beta only works for mice and pointing devices, not gamepads. don't know when the full version is coming out. if you want to use your gamepad in X, i highly recommend GamePad Companion. [here's a versiontracker link ] basically, it maps keyboard controls to your gamepad. you'll have to make configurations for each game, but it's no big deal. plus, the new version makes the app a sys pref, so you can turn it on or off in sys prefs.

works great with my iShock in X.
