Doom on Mac with Logitech extreme 3d

[ricaltman]

I have a Mac OSX with Prboom/Doom that seems to be fine with keyboard but even though my Mac sees the Logitech Extreme 3d joystick, when I load Doom, the joystick won't work. Joystick is enabled in Setup.

Mac PrBoom just doesn't seem to like joysticks.
I tried using a PS3 Afterglow joystick with it, which works for every game I have on my computer.

Do you know if it is possible to play Doom on a Mac with any joystick. Is using PrBoom the only way to play Doom on a Mac?

Dosbox or Wind0ze are really your only bets.

AFAIK you can use Chocolate Doom or Mocha Doom which is platform-independent (but does not support joysticks)

Odamex has joystick support across all platforms including mac. It was implemented with the xbox port :).

odamex.net

Odamex is Doom, Boom, and even a little ZDoom compatible.

If you have any problems be sure to let the team know.
