Hi,

I recently downloaded an emulator to play N64 for games and bought an off brand ps3 controller (called Power A) to play the games. However, when I connected the controller to my MBP (which runs on Lion), the controller did not work. The home button on the controller is blinking.

I heard that the newer mac ox s doesn't need the driver for the controller to work. When I plugged the USB controller in, it wasn't working. So, I downloaded the driver. Still does not work. I tried to configure the controllers and checked "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller" as well as "USB Receiver." Neither would read the controller I just bought.

Any ideas? And thank you so much for the help!
