Icon ControllerMate 4.4.8

ControllerMate takes a unique approach to programming USB controllers. Instead of providing the user with a simple list of commands that may be assigned to each button on a controller, or forcing the user to use a scripting language to program buttons, ControllerMate supplies the user with an assortment of building blocks that can be combined to create actions. Following some basic rules regarding how the blocks connect to each other, the user is free to mix and match building blocks to create an endless variety of actions.

Icon Gamepedia 5.0.2

Gamepedia is an application for cataloging and keeping track of your video and computer games.
Gamepedia lets you retrieve information about your games from various sites on the Internet. The main info comes from the Amazon sites (US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, Japan) but Gamepedia also lets you add links and screenshots from other sites, such as gamespot.com. You can search using pretty much any keyword - from the platform to the game title or a genre. Or use a combination of them all. If you have a scanner, you can find your games even faster. Just open a search window and scan the UPC of the game. Gamepedia does the rest for you. Cuecats, modified or not, are supported too.

Icon Mumble 1.2.3

Mumble is a voice chat application for groups. While it can be used for any kind of activity, it is primarily intended for gaming. It can be compared to programs like Ventrilo or TeamSpeak. People tend to simplify things, so when they talk about Mumble they either talk about "Mumble" the client application or about "Mumble & Murmur" the whole voice chat application suite.

Updating PunkBuster with PBSetup
PunkBuster is designed to keep itself up to date using our proprietary auto-update system. For cases where the auto-update fails, we have created a utility called PBSetup.
There are two major components to the PunkBuster system: the PunkBuster Server (runs on game servers) and the PunkBuster Client (runs on players' playing machines while they play the game). Both components are designed to automatically keep themselves up to date with the latest versions of PunkBuster. The PB Server software routinely checks with the master PB Servers and downloads new updates over the Internet when they become available and then distributes the new versions to connected PB Clients when players running an old version connect to the server.
When PB is not able to auto-update, various error messages are displayed. For PB Server Admins, messages are displayed to all players when a player joins who has a newer version of PB than what is currently running on the PB Server. Also, PB Servers running old versions will not be able to detect and deal with all of the latest versions of cheat/hack software. For players of the games, when PB can't keep itself up to date, they will be removed (kicked) from PB Servers and may see one of a variety of messages ... "Distress", "Technical Problem loading ...", or "Update Timeout".
In virtually every case where PB cannot keep itself up to date, a firewall or some type of security software is blocking communication with the master PB Servers. For users who are comfortable configuring their firewall/router or security software, port number information can be found in the FAQ section for each game we support here on our website. If this issue can be resolved, then PB will be able to auto-update and function properly the way it was designed and the use of PBSetup is not necessary.
For users who need or desire to use PBSetup to manually update PunkBuster, PBSetup download links for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX are provided below. PBSetup does not modify the Windows registry. For best results, users should create a folder on the hard drive to hold PBSetup and the various files that it will create and use during operation. PBSetup should be downloaded directly into the folder or moved into the folder after downloading to the desktop but before running PBSetup for the first time. The easiest way to create a folder is to "right click" on the desktop and choose New|Folder from the pop-up menu and then type in a folder name such as PBSetup and press the Enter key.
