Icon ControllerMate 4.3.3

ControllerMate takes a unique approach to programming USB controllers. Instead of providing the user with a simple list of commands that may be assigned to each button on a controller, or forcing the user to use a scripting language to program buttons, ControllerMate supplies the user with an assortment of building blocks that can be combined to create actions. Following some basic rules regarding how the blocks connect to each other, the user is free to mix and match building blocks to create an endless variety of actions.

Gamepedia is an application for cataloging and keeping track of your video and computer games.

You can search using pretty much any keyword - from the platform to the game title or a genre. Or use a combination of them all. If you have a scanner, you can find your games even faster. Just open a search window and scan the UPC of the game. Gamepedia does the rest for you. Cuecats, modified or not, are supported too.

Icon TeamSpeex 1.0b2 r408

TeamSpeak is a Voice over IP program used by alot of gamers to communicate with each other with voice. The TeamSpeak client is available for Windows and Linux users and an official Mac client has been announced more than 1 year ago but there is still no Mac client as of today..
So I was tired of waiting and seeing Mac users being left in the dark and not supported by not having a client, up until now ofcourse because (you probably already guessed it) TeamSpeex is a TeamSpeak client for Mac OS X!
I named it TeamSpeex because it only supports the Speex codec. It is fully compatible with existing TeamSpeak servers, and with PC and Linux users.
TeamSpeex is a third-party client for TeamSpeak, that means they have nothing to do with this product. So do not bug or contact the TeamSpeak developers if you have problems related with TeamSpeex.

Icon Xbox HID Driver 1.3.4

This software enables the Xbox USB gamepad, DVD remote, and other Xbox devices on Mac OS X. It installs a HID (Human Interface Device) kernel extension and works at a low-level so any game that supports joysticks can use it. Games that do not support joysticks can use Xbox devices through additional software such as GamePad Companion.
You can use the Xbox HID Driver as long as you want. However, the demo version will not allow you to customize the controllers after 30 days. You can register online for just $5 to remove the demo time limit.
