The XBox360 Wired USB controller with a special driver: http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver is the only model expected to work “out of the box.”

Setting Up[edit]

  • Sign in to Tootsville.
  • Once the game is connected (green stripey border), press any Gamepad button.
  • A Mist Parrot will appear and try to guess the layout of your controller.
    • If they have correctly shown your layout, you're done. Press the button they ask you to (usually START or similar).
    • If your gamepad is not known to us, they'll ask you to push various buttons and controls to build up a mapping. Follow the Parrot's instructions.

Controls[edit]

The mapping of these controls may be a bit different for your game pad. In the control panel, click the Gamepad icon ( 🎮 ) to view the mapping.
