This in-game calibration usually happens when starting a game, sometimes there's an in-game hotkey. You should also calibrate the controller in every game you want to play. If that's not the problem you could try changing the 'timed' parameter in DOSBox. Probably not connected to your problem, but you should upgrade to DOSBox 0.74, too. Paste that info here so we can see what DOSBox thinks your controller is (. Oh, and DOSBox will output some info about the controller(s) it has identifed in the status window. But to be frank I don't even know if the keymapper is available in the OS X build. You probably could use the DOSBox keymapper to first delete all joystick 1 mappings and then assign the dpad to the joystick. My guess is that DOSBox is somehow looking for an analog stick on your controller which of course isn't there. A modern emulator, whether running Windows, Linux or macOS, will have to communicate with the USB controller through an API.

Once you have your cable, plug it into your controller, then into your Mac.

The latter part depends on which ports or converters you have on your Mac. Dunno about OS X, but USB controllers usually don't need to be calibrated, especially when they don't have analog sticks. YouвЂ™ll need a micro USB on one side, for your controller, and a USB or USB-C on the other side, for your Mac.
