On the new dashboard (Updated Xbox 360 s). MAC, mac, address, xbox, 360, wireless, net, reg, internet, Suggest keywords. Doc ID: 47212. To Find the MAC Address in Xbox 360 Console (New Xbox Experience): 1. Go to My Xbox in the Xbox Dashboard and select Settings, then 4. At the bottom of this screen you'll see a heading called Wired MAC. Please Note: It is not possible to use the Xbox wirelessly on the LSU campus.
I can verify that you definitely can use a Mac to flash the drive. In my case, the SATA PCI card I ordered off eBay never arrived (it's been over 30 days now-coming from Hong Kong), so i got tired of waiting and decided to see if I could use one of my Macs. There are 2 ways that I know of at this time, for flashing on a Mac. Easiest (and most expensive): Buy the Xecuter USB Pro from Team Xecuter ($60) and use it under Bootcamp Least Expensive: Use rEFIt to boot from a bootable DOS flash drive All the information needed it already out there, but it's a pain gathering it all together and working out the kinks. Hopefully, this saves someone else some time. The hardest part for me was finding a Mac that could boot from DOS on a flash drive.
It seems a hit and miss type of thing, but I suspect most recent Macs will work just fine. I tried 2 models. A late 2007 MacBook (2,1) did NOT work. A 2009 Mac Mini did work. However, anyone who's taken a Mac Mini apart will know what a complete pain in the @ss it can be to swap the hard drive (although it's a whole lot easier than the older iBooks).

I recommend finding a more recent Mac Laptop instead, or even a Mac Pro, which would obviously be the ideal option. Steps: 1) Download rEFIt from: 2) Burn it to a CD-RW 3) Create a bootable DOS flash drive, using the instructions in the tutorial 4) Replace the Mac's hard drive with the drive you'll flash (in my case, it was a WD3200BEVT). DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER HARD DRIVE ATTACHED!!! 5) Plug the flash drive in the Mac's USB port 6) Turn on the Mac 7) Immediately insert the CD 8) Immediately hold down the option key 9) You'll see the rEFIt icon pop up. 10) You'll then see a icon for the flash drive (I think the label says something about 'legacy OS'). 11) Run hddhackr and follow the rest of the tutorial to flash the drive. 12) After turning off the computer, put the flashed drive in a USB or Firewire enclosure, replace the Mac's hard drive, and boot into Bootcamp.
13) Follow the rest of the tutorial for transferring files. A few things to note: a) Based on all the problems people have reported with hddhackr 1.30, I used 1.25. Worked like a charm.
B) After flashing the drive, I put it in my Xbox and reformatted before restoring partition 2, just in case. C) I used Hoffman's partition 2, since I didn't have an existing Xbox drive. D) rEFIt does not seem to work properly if you have a Bootcamp partition on the Mac. No matter what other legacy OS partition you select, the Mac will always boot up from the Bootcamp partition, if it's attached. Yet another reason to make sure no other hard drive is attached, other than the one you're going to flash. E) It's also possible to partition the flash drive so that rEFIt is on the 2nd partition, eliminating the need for a CD.
However, the software for creating the bootable flash drive that's linked in this tutorial does not allow for a partitioned flash drive. You'll have to find some other way to created the flash drive. I used the CD because it was the easiest. F) Some anti-malware software may complain that Xplorer 360 Extreme is malware. That's because so many copies of this on the various file share sites ARE infected. Make sure you only get it from the link in the tutorial, and scan it before using.
You may have to turn off you anti-malware software to use it. G) My Win XP setup complained that a.dll file was missing, whenever I tried to run Xplorer 360 Extreme. A quick search of the.dll (can't recall the name) gave me a link to a downloadable copy from a reputable site. I put the file in the same folder as the application, and it worked just fine. Key words: Boot Intel Mac DOS Flash Drive.
Whether you’re trying to no-scope that enemy on COD or score a last-minute slam-dunk on NBA, the touchpad just doesn’t do it. So, we thought we’d share the best tips on how to connect an Xbox 360 controller to your Mac, to make them tense gaming moments a little easier. Before you do: Clean up your Mac BUT, before we get into all the juicy techy stuff, let’s remind you of how beneficial cleaning up your Mac can be. Before installing any new hardware, it’s important to have an un-cluttered file space so the new software can run efficiently, and you can keep an eye on what’s where. With, it’s easy. It’s one-click cleaning approach and powerful scanning means you can swiftly dispose of useless documents and apps which may be slowing your Mac down. So, to get optimal controller connectivity, you should download CleanMyMac and tidy up your digital space – prior to any installations.
Now, onto how to use an Xbox 360 controller on a Mac. How to use the Xbox 360 controller on Mac Not many of us know it, but there could be a handy use for all those old Xbox 360 or Xbox One controllers lying around. But, before you get set up, you need to have the correct hardware installed on your Mac to enable connectivity. First of all, you will need either a wired or wireless Xbox controller. Both work fine, but for all those passionate gamers with a tendency to erupt, a wireless device would be best to save any damages to wires (or opponents).
These wireless receivers can be bought for around $20 on Amazon, and can handle up to 4 Xbox 360 controllers. Free Drivers Obviously, Macs don’t have an in-built driver for Xbox controllers as Apple are in no way affiliated with Microsoft. Similarly, Microsoft doesn’t supply drivers for Mac users for their hardware, which leaves us wanting users having to find our own way. So back in 2006, it was music to gamer’s ears to hear that had developed their own driver free of charge to users across the gaming globe.
However, this driver hasn’t been updated since 2012, and is therefore sticky when it comes to compatibility with MacOS X. For a more streamlined approach to this conundrum, download – it’s maintained and updated frequently and is free to all Mac users. Install the driver After opening the GitHub link, double click on the DMG file visible under ‘Assets’. This will start the installing process, where you will have to follow the appropriate instructions. Remember though, as with any new program installation, it will reboot your Mac, so don’t panic. After the restart, you should be able to find ‘Xbox 360 Controllers’ in the system preferences.

Connect the Xbox 360 Controller to your Mac Now you’ve installed the driver, the next step is to connect the controller, which is simple and only needs to be done once. Firstly, you need to plug the USB receiver into a free USB port on your Mac. Once plugged in, the USB receiver’s light should start blinking. Press the big Xbox logo button on the controller so it lights up green. Press the button on the USB receiver. Press the connect button on the controller, which can be found at the top - in-between the left and right toggles.
The top left quarter of the circle around the Xbox button should now light up, indicating you are the first controller connected Now the controller and Mac are linked - so in the future if you want to connect again, all you need do is press the big Xbox logo button to get going. Told you it was simple! Test the Controller As with all things techy, there’s always loopholes. So, it’s important to test the connections to ensure the controller works before we embark upon a mobile-gaming-gallivant. Go to ‘System Preferences’, ‘Xbox 360 Controllers’ and you’ll see a screen like below.
This is a control pad, which indicates whether all the buttons on the controller are working properly. That’s about all you can do on this, as well as shutting the controller down by clicking ‘power off’. Configuring for multiple games on your Mac We all have different tastes in games - some of us like sports and some of us like military, there’s no right or wrong (asides from Half-Life, that’s just awesome and it’s not up for debate). With these different games come different control configurations, which can get tedious when you only have one type of controller.
For full flexibility of use, there are many tools and apps available which allow you to play any game with any Mac compatible joystick or controller – even the ones that are not compatible with joysticks. Use Joystick Mapper Out of the many apps to choose from, Joystick Mapper is our pick. And at only $4.99 from the App Store, it’s real value for money – especially when considering the amount of effort it takes to develop such a complex tool. Here’s how it works – Once you download the Joystick Mapper app, you need to create a pre-set for your game preferences.
To do this, open the app and click ‘Add new pre-set’. Enter a name for future reference such as ‘My Game’, and for each joystick, click ‘Add a new joystick’. Now that you’ve identified the joystick, you need to ‘bind’ joystick inputs to keyboard or mouse movements - which is easier than it sounds. Click on ‘Add new bind’, and then ‘Scan’, and press the button of your game controller that you’d like to use. Next select a mouse or keyboard action, and that will ‘bind’ the chosen inputs.
Simply repeat this process until you’ve bound all the buttons you’d like to use. If by chance you’re using a controller other than an Xbox 360 or Xbox One, you can replicate these actions and apply them to different controllers. To do this, simply click the ‘Clone’ icon in the top right corner. To put the pre-set into action, set a checkmark before the preferred pre-set/profile you’ve created for the game you’re about to play. Now, you’re good to go!
BUT – don’t close the Joystick Mapper app before starting the game, it needs to keep running to work. Simply select ‘cmd + H’ to hide the window. Declutter your Mac to make more room for games Remember, all of these processes won’t work as effectively if you have a messy Mac.
On average, there is a whopping 62GB of junk found on Macs, with jam-packed caches and folders full of useless documents cluttering the hard drive. This considerably slows down the performance of your Mac, preventing quick and easy installations, and can even hinder the controller connectivity.
