Gamepads
Any idea how I can use a genius gamepad with my imac?

In Windows it was instantly recognised.

Also, I have a dongle that allows PS1 and Nintendo controllers to plug into PC's with USB.
Any idea how I could use these on a mac to use with emulators?

Thanks !

This free app maps inputs to HID gaming controllers:
HID Wizard

These also look interesting (but not free):
GamePad Companion
ControllerMate

All of the above should work for the PS1/Nintendo adaptor as well.

Also some support from Xbox & Xbobx 360 controllers from:
Xbox HID Driver for Mac OS X
Xbox360Controller - Mac OS X driver

Installed HID Wizard.
Can't find it anywhere...
Not in system preferences or applications..
Any idea where this is hidden?
Tried running several games, no luck, no Joystick present.

Some further research seems to suggets that HID Wizard only works with software specifically designed for it.

You best bet would be to trial one of the other non-free options.
USB Overdrive also seems quite popular and gets good reviews on VersionTracker
