so i've been using the tattieboggle 360 controller driver for os x to play some games on my mac mini htpc running xbmc w/ romcollectionbrowser… my issue unfortunately is that the 360 controller seems to have an auto power down "feature" after a handful of minutes…

so if i get up and go get a drink and have a cigarette and come back, the controller is off… unfortunately, when i turn back on the controller it doesn't work unless the emulator unless i quit and relaunch the emulator (i have the dashboard button bound to quiting the emulator to make things worse, and have to vnc in or use remotebuddy or w/e it's called on my iphone to quit the emulator)

anyways, was just curious if anyone had any ideas around this? i was thinking maybe i could get some usb charger for my 360 controller and plug it into the wall while i play, maybe it wouldn't power off to save battery or what not then…
