Hi
Game controllers are set up in their respective emulators. However, OS
X is not the best with gaming controllers, and has limited support for
them. You're probably going to need to use software such as Gamepad
Companion or USB Overdrive X to configure your game controller to
simulate keypresses in order for it to work with most emulators. Many
OS X emulators leave out Joystick support, probably due to OS X's
limited facilities for handling it. In general, gaming is not the
Mac's strong point.
I haven't been able to try Gamepad Companion as of yet, as my
controllers (logitech dual-action gamepads) died a little while back
and I just haven't replaced them at the moment. I did try USb
Overdrive X and wasn't able to get it to work properly, though that
may have just been my gamepads acting up, as they died shortly
afterward. I haven't replaced them, mostly because I'm not sure which
gamepads I want now as my all time favorite, the Gravis Gamepad Pro,
is no longer available and hasn't been for some time.

to set up a game controller?

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to
get at or repair.
