Thanks for confirming Felix. While I admit I was hoping you might have an easy fix up your sleeve, I definitely understand that PS3 gamepads aren’t officially supported by Remote Buddy so I don’t mean to assign blame to your software that is being cause by the OS. I’m definitely not using the RB setup wizard when attempting to pair so it sounds like this issue has nothing to do with Remote Buddy. Also, just an FYI, there is a PS3 gamepad driver for OSX, but it appears that PS3 gamepads were (at one time) natively supported by Snow Leopard without any additional drivers; however, per your comments there may have been some changes to the software and/or mini hardware that have broken this functionality.
Thanks as well for your insight into the Bluetooth stack differences in the new mini’s Bluetooth chipset and how the Bluetooth stacks differ from SL to Lion. It sounds like I don’t have any other options available at this point other than to wait for Lion Patch releases and/or purchase some other type of wireless gamepad that doesn’t run off of Bluetooth. In case you’re looking for unsolicited feedback on feature requests, I’d really love to see PS3 gamepads supported like the Wii controllers and PS3 remotes.
Small review/plug inbound…
That all being said, in case any potential customers are reading this thread, per Felix’s comments this doesn’t appear to be an issue caused by Remote Buddy software and in no way makes me regret my purchase of Remote Buddy. This software has given me almost complete control over making my Harmony 900 remote do pretty much anything I want it to do and has made my HTPC much more wife-friendly. Given the option of a do-over, I would purchase this software again in a heartbeat.
