sixtyforce 0.8.0 and later have built-in support for USB game controllers with full analog control, auto-calibration and force feedback support. That's some pretty cool stuff.

Note: USB controllers must be plugged in before starting
sixtyforce for sixtyforce to "see" them.

Configuring your controller for the best performance

Other USB controller software may interfere with sixtyforce's built-in controller support. Disable any software such as USB Overdrive or GamePad Companion, before using sixtyforce.

Why is this a problem? Third party USB controller software can interfere with sixtyforce's full analog support. If this happens you'll still be able to use your controller, but you'll lose nearly all of your controller's sensitivity!

Over sensitivity

If your controller seems overly sensitive, try increasing the "dead zone" in the controller's configuration window. The more you increase the "dead zone" the less sensitive your controller becomes, so try increasing it in very small amounts until the control feels right.

Force feedback support

sixtyforce has built-in force feedback support on many devices. To feel force feedback you must:

- be using a supported force feedback device
- switch sixtyforce's controller to the Rumble Pack in the Options menu
- enable force feedback in the game controller configuration window

The following is a partial list of devices that work with sixtyforce's force feedback:

Game Controller	Requirements
Adaptoid (with Rumble Pack)	Mac OS X 10.2 or later
Gravis Eliminator Aftershock	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Gravis Eliminator GamePad Pro	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Gravis Xterminator Force Feedback	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Logitech MOMO Force	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Logitech MOMO Racing	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Logitech WingMan Cordless RumblePad	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Logitech WingMan Force 3D	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Logitech WingMan Formula Force GP	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Logitech WingMan RumblePad	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Logitech WingMan Strike Force 3D	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
MacAlly iShock 2	Mac OS X 10.2 or later - the iShock 2 driver must be installed (will not work on Intel)
Saitek Cyborg 3D Force	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
Saitek R440 Force	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
ThrustMaster Top Gun Afterburner	Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later
WishTech Adaptoid	Max OS X 10.2 or later - RumblePack must be inserted
Xbox 360 Wired Controller	Max OS X 10.2 or later - you need this driver and force feedback may not work
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller	Max OS X 10.2 or later - you need this driver and force feedback may not work

Note: One interesting side-effect of the emulation is: if the emulation runs slow, the force feedback effects will run in slow-motion. I think this is kinda cool.
