[QUOTE="Jeff Strong, post: 2020, member: 3"] Copied this from FB: Joshua Justice Payne: I didn't feel like waiting for Farsight to release the update for alternate control support, so I found the workaround. I am now playing the mac version of Pinball Arcade using Left Shift and Right Shift instead of Left Arrow and Right Arrow. So very much better. The program you need is KeyRemap4Macbook (which is free and despite the name supports all kinds of macs, not just macbooks). To get the arrow to shift key mapping, open the KeyRemap4Macbook preference pane in system preferences, go to the misc and uninstall tab, find the custom setting section and click on "open private.xml" Open the file it reveals in text-edit, and replace the contents with this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <root> <item> <name>Shift_L to Left-Arrow</name> <identifier>private.shiftL2leftarrow</identifier> <autogen>--KeyToKey-- KeyCode::SHIFT_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_LEFT</autogen> </item> <item> <name>Shift_R to Right-Arrow</name> <identifier>private.shiftR2rightarrow</identifier> <autogen>--KeyToKey-- KeyCode::SHIFT_R, KeyCode::CURSOR_RIGHT</autogen> </item> </root> Hope that helps someone! I also really like the screen rotated 90 degrees thing. For anyone wondering how to do this: if system preferences is open, quit and reopen system preferences then option-command click "Displays". This will reveal the hidden rotation option. [/QUOTE]
