Photo: Rob LeFebvre/Cult of Mac Now just might be the best time ever to be a Mac gamer, as a ton of big titles for PC and console are also available for Apple computers via the Mac App Store, Steam or GoG.com. It’s a golden era of cross-platform goodness, and it’s easier than ever to find a game you’ll love on the Mac. Some of today’s hot titles demand a good controller, though.

Q: Issue with Mackie Controller. Possible solution Hi, I know a few of us have had to struggle getting the Mackie Controller, extender and C4 to show up in Logic. I use the M-Audio MidiSport 4x4 and it's served me well for the last year in logic 7, no real issues.

One of the best is Sony’s DualShock 4 controller (the same one that comes with the PlayStation 4). If you’ve got one, you’ve got easy access to a fantastic, ergonomic and just plain great gaming controller that will work with your Mac, requiring very little setup to make it happen.

Here’s our recipe for great wireless Mac gaming. Ingredients:. MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac or Mac Pro. DualShock 4 controller. System preferences: Bluetooth Directions: First of all, you need to make sure Bluetooth is on.

You can toggle it on or off in the Bluetooth menu in your menubar at the top of the screen on your Mac. If it’s already on, you’ll see all your currently connected Bluetooth devices and an option to Open Bluetooth Preferences. Open those preferences, and you’ll see all the currently connected devices, as well as ones you’ve connected to in the past. Now, put your into pairing mode by pressing the PS button (the one on the front face of the controller that also powers it up) and the Share button (upper left corner of the front of the controller) at the same time until you see the light on the rear of the DualShock 4 begin to blink rapidly. That means it’s in pairing mode. Pairing up is super easy.

Click the Pair button to the right, and the DualShock 4’s light will stop blinking but stay lit. That’s how you know it’s connected. All you need to do then is launch your favorite game that has external controller support and you’re good to go. I tested it on a Steam version of and Steam’s Big Picture mode, and it worked like a charm. If you’re not into wireless gaming, you can simply connect a micro-USB cable from the DualShock 4 controller to your Mac and use it the same way.

Happy gaming!

It's possible for two hosts to have the same MAC, due to spoofing, a mistake during manufacturing, or willful negligence on the part of the manufacturer. So, 1) In general, an Ethernet switch keeps a table of which MAC addresses are attached to which ports. It bases this table on the source address of frames it receives during the normal operation of the network.

Upon receiving any frame, the source MAC is read and compared with the current switching table, and then added alongside whichever switchport it was received on. So if there are two hosts, both with the same MAC address, then the switch will update it's MAC table every time it receives a frame from either host.

The reachability of either host will flap on and off and be inconsistent. 2) Short answer: no. Duplicate MAC addresses will not trigger any sort of security problem in an unmanaged switch (a switch without configuration software), or a managed switch (like most Cisco/HP/Junipers) that has not been configured for port security. Managed switches will give you a warning printed in the console terminal if they detect a duplicate MAC (a MAC that 'exists' on multiple switchports), but by default they won't 'do anything' about it AFAIK. If you want to use port security options on a managed switch, you can do stuff like only allow 1 MAC address per switchport.

The MAC address will be learned dynamically by the switch (like it usually learns MACs), but the difference is that once it is learned, it is bound to that switchport. Then, if the switch receives frames from a duplicate MAC on another switchport, it can place that port into a disabled state (shut it down.) You mentioned deauthentication in your question.

The port security feature of some switches is different that 'deauthentication'- it is deauthorization. They are similar but the difference is important; look up authentication vs. 3) Duplicate MACs will not cause collisions. Collisions are the result of a shared electrical bus. It is more of a race condition, although I haven't heard it referred to like that before. Remember, duplicate MACs are 'allowed', as far as any out-of-the-box Ethernet switch is concerned- they just cause a problem that will interrupt network connectivity to each host in question. The problem is a constantly changing switching table.

Answers to your question:. YES it is possible, and NO you'll not have consistent contact. You might.the administrator might see the problem and disable the ports on the switch. What I encountered was with two systems with the same MAC address connected to the same switch, and what I noticed was that networking would work with the LAST system to send out ethernet packets being selected. So it was when one system worked the other one didn't.quite amusing and puzzling to me until the networking guy pointed out the problem.
