    As you have mentioned that you want to use the ps3 controller on the leopard operating system but for that you required some basic system requirement which you have to fulfilled in order to get the games playing in it which are as follows;

    • 10.6 Snow Leopard which is compulsory

    • PS3 Gamepad or any other Gamepad of the similar kind

    • USB charging wire for PS3 gamepad

    • Bluetooth enabled on your Macbook pro, it requires when you are connecting with that.

    • After all these you have with you, you can go for the ps3 controller to be played on the Snow Leopard operating system.

    The solution my me worked on my macbook as I experienced this in 10.5.8 subsequent video commands and the PS3 pad appears in my paired Bluetooth objects. When you articulate it does not effort do you denote it does not pair with your Mac (and emerge in the Bluetooth devices catalog) or do you signify that it does not work in the game you are annoying?. I took it one step additional and checked the PS3 pad on one make new Feral demo of Mini Ninjas and the PS3 pad only mechanism in 10.6, you can acquire it to sync in 10.5 but it does not effort in the game. I am attractive convinced this is since 10.5 Bluetooth sustain is not as good quality as 10.6 Snow Leopard.

    Re: how to use the ps3 controller on leopard

    The peoples who likes to play a lot games, It be supposed to come as greeting news that as of Snow Leopard, the Mac now natively supports the PS3's controller through Bluetooth. A modest USB driver has been obtainable for some time, but Bluetooth support is unparalleled on the Mac. I have to admit that I exposed this only by chance. I mistakenly clicked on the Bluetooth icon and proverb that my PS3 controller had been recognized - much to my shock. The PS3 uses a somewhat strange Bluetooth completion, so this suggests a deliberate bit of hackery. I believe we be acquainted with what at least one Apple employee counts in the middle of his hobbies. The rigmarole essential to get this device working correctly beneath Linux or Windows makes hold up quite a good little perk for macbook users.
