Preferably to use a Saturn or Gamecube hori stick with, lag free of course. Play-asia doesn't really specify what works with mac, I'm kinda assuming that they all do but thought I'd check in here before I order anything. Thanks in advance.

Any USB HID device should work fine. The "3 in 1 PC JOY BOX" handles saturn, I believe there's a similar thing that handles gamecube.
(not using mac, but running linux.)

Not really a Mac stick tip, but there is a piece of free software that let's you use a wired 360 pad on a Mac, which works great for many shmups...

I bought a PSX to USB converter on eBay, and it will work for my Genesis emulator, but it was not recognized at all by MacMAME. I heard MacMAME is a bit weak in gamepad support.
There's another MAME called MAME OS X that is supposed to have better joystick support, but I couldn't get that to run on my computer. (I'm guessing my computer is too old)

OK - so I'm finally catching up with Mame and I have a Mac...
Chem pop - did you find a stick on Play-Asia that works with a Mac? Anybody else?

I'm running mame osx 112, and my logitech usb pad works fine. I think any usb pad or stick would work.
I'm also looking for a good usb stick or converter, though. Pads are just too paddy.

Well, when I get home tonight I'll check to see if my PS3 Virtua Stick High Grade works and let you know... Forgot about that all together

I might have to edit in several exceptions to "any".

Forgot to post - it works fine with MacMAME! I think most USBs should work fine, if not 'any'...
