QS for Mac

[Kenneth Rys]

My sister is considering getting a QS, but she is a Mac Book Pro user.  Is there anything different to using or setting up the QS from PC to Mac?

The Quadstick Manager Program only runs under Windows.  It can be used on a Mac through a Virtual Machine running Windows, but it can get complicated.

To make changes to the configuration without QMP, the Google Docs spreadsheets can use the Quadstick Add-on:  https://quadstick.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/user_manual/um/quadstick_menu.htm

All the preference settings, which most of the QMP user interface is devoted to, can be controlled through a special spreadsheet, but the user will need to understand the meaning of the preference's values.

The other things QMP is used for, like relaying voice commands, or converting the Quadstick's native PS3 controller into an XBox 360 controller for PC games, would not be available.

Since all the configuration data is contained in the CSV files in the Quadstick, anyone else who has QMP could generate CSV files and send them via email to be directly copied into the Quadstick's flash.
