Playing Finished Games / Using Game Controllers | |
Normally games made with Power Game Factory are played with the keyboard. However it is possible to use a USB game controller by mapping controller buttons to specific keys. Doing so requires a utility such as USB Overdrive or GamePad Companion. |

USB Overdrive |
USB Overdrive, which is available from Alessandro Levi Montalcini at http://www.usboverdrive.com, is a utility that allows game controller buttons to perform the same functions as keys on the keyboard in Mac OS X. |
GamePad Companion |
GamePad Companion, from Carvware, is another utility that lets buttons on a game controller perform like keyboard keys. GamePad Companion is available at http://www.carvware.com/ |
After installing the keyboard mapping utility of your choice and mapping each button on your game controller button to a specific key, test the game to make sure each button performs the expected function. If a button does not work, ensure that the keyboard is properly configured in the game's Preferences as described in the Setting Game Preferences section. |
