Mac Your PC

Thanks to Slashack over at forum.voodooprojects.org we finally have side scrolling!

(Thank you zoharxero for emailing me letting me know how well it works)

I’ve been following this for a while and waiting for something a bit more stable and I think it’s pretty good right now. It will only get better from here when we get a prefpane for it.

This uses VoodooPS2controller.kext to get sidescrolling working thanks to a lot of people especially the Voodoo team!

A bonus to this is the the media keys work natively in itunes and quicktime without having to use Butler!

1) Download this sidescroll_voodoops2controller

2) Open terminal and run the following:

(Remember to replace YOUR-HDD with the name of your HDD, If you followed my guide it would be “/Macintosh\ HD/” Some of these files wont exist on your install, I’ve tried to make it as broad as possible, you should run all of the commands just in case.)

sudo -s

cd /Volumes/YOUR-HDD/System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Contents/PlugIns/

rm -Rf AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

rm -Rf ACPIPS2Nub.kext

cd /Volumes/YOUR-HDD/System/Library/Extensions

rm -Rf ApplePS2Controller.kext

rm -Rf ApplePS2Controller.kext.orig

rm -Rf AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

rm -Rf ACPIPS2Nub.kext

3) open OSX86Tools

4) Select Repair Permissions / Set Extensions permissions / Clear Extensions Cache and click “Run Selected Tasks”

5) Click “Install Kexts” install “VoodooPS2Controller.kext” to your HDD

6) Reboot with “-f” (without the quotes)

7) Open “System Preferences” and go to “Trackpad” and select “Clicking”

**As a side note Smart Scroll also makes side scrolling a lot smoother and really improves it in my opinion although alone it still works quite well.**
