Loving playing Mame on my Mac, at the moment I use a PS3 Sixasis, which does the job but i don't find it comfortable and there are some issues as i use the left analogue stick for movement as don't like the d-pad buttons.
I am quite taken with some of the arcade-stick setups I see but there are a lot about and they vary hugely in price, so wonder if anyone has much experience of them, and whether they would be compatible with the Mac?

Thanks for the post, looks like compatibility may be better than i was expecting - not sure about the NES one but i see they do a SNES style which i fancy, will get one ordered!

I use a MadKatz fight pad for the 360, my only gripe is that the D Pad is a little slippery.
I was toying with the idea of cutting up some fabric plasters to give me more grip ...
It took a lot of faffing around to get the 360 pad to work on Yosemite!
That saturn stick looks nice!
