Same goes for me...
If the USB PC/Mac Adapter is the ultimate solution, they should give it for free or at least clearly specify on their site the controller won't work on OS X Leopard without it on purchase.

You should try to ask them for a free adapter or at least a good rebate.

I really don't care who's fault.

I'm a victim of buying a product advertised as Fully Mac OS X compatible.
And Apple has nothing to do with it.

in the original store i bought from, it's outta stock so i asked them if i'm entitled to a free adapter based on their compatibility claim. i'll let ya know.

no go. didn't buy from official international reseller so i'm entitled to zilt.
if someone has any luck with the adapter, lemme know.

I bought it from SWOLFSOFT GmbH which they list as an international reseller:

So i'll contact them about a free adaptor and see what they have to say about it.

I got a reply from X-Gaming that the Tankstick works with their USB Pc/Mac Adapter under OS X 10.5.6

Good news.
Now, are they going to send one for free ?

thanks geoman. i guess it should work for the solo too.
yeah, if they send you one for free let us know if it *really* works.
i'm still gonna try to contact the shop i bought from and ask if they had any complaints. nothing to lose.
either way, can't help but feel conned.

[edit] ^i finished newzealand story on the amiga. a hell of a game

X-Gaming's answer regarding the required Mac/PC Adaptor:

"We can send you a free adapter if you purchased your X-Arcade directly from Xgaming. However, since you purchased your X-Arcade from one of our official resellers, you will have to contact them.

International resellers have different polices than Xgaming(as stated in the warranty) and may not supply a USB adapter replacement, but it's always a good idea to ask anyways. If they won't send a replacement, you will need to purchase the adapter."

I contacted the German reseller and he will send me an adaptor for free!
