Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to generate PS3 controller button-press events from my Mac running OS X.
My motivation is that every once in a while I come across a PS3 game that has a certain part of the game requiring a LOT of repetitive button pressing. So, I was thinking maybe I could make some code that would generate the required button presses, rather than having to press the X button too many times manually.
Does anyone know of any site or resource that has documentation for this kind of thing? Thanks in advance!

Chillax! He didn't ask a programming question. He asked for suggestions on where to find some documentation.

And trying to cheat Playstation games? Oh dear ...

Hate to break this to you...but Maunder has been using a Mac for the best part of a decade or maybe more.

To be fair, Chris considers the Mac to be the best machine to run Windows on, along with Visual Studio.
I think that if he could find a great machine from someone else that had the power, resolution, ports, and was as light, he might go for it.

I've been chewed out a few times myself because I apparently don't know where to draw the line, and I've been here since 2001. What's acceptable or not is still not clear to me.

I've intentionally omitted names. They know who they are.

Don't you mean he knows who he is? Cause I do and it's Mick.

I am neither random or cliquey, I think awesome was the word you were looking for and I still have all my own bones and stuff.

If they can make me run as fast as a car and come with cool sound effects (nun-nun-nun...) then I'm in. I'll even crash a jet.

I'd be damned if this does not exist already, but have nothing in mind yet.
A solution could be hardware : most gaming keyboards have keys to which you can assign key-stroke macros. Actually, this could be also a solution : instead of trying to find a specific PS3 controller b-press events, just find a key-press repeater that acts as a global hook.

This is exactly what I was thinking. It sounds like a key-stroke macro, many of the 3rd party controllers have them, gaming keyboards, etc.
If not, there are a lot of auto-clicker type programs out there already which do this same thing. Some freeware others are mandatory "donation".

Ok, thanks for the hardware idea.

Most games have very strict policies against botting and it is really not that hard to detect it. It will just get your account suspended.

Could be an offline game for all we know. Do you think Sony really cares about such cases?

I have the vague suspicion it's about online shooting tournaments like CoD.
