I am currently working on installing Snow Leopard on one of my test drives. I was wonderng if there is a VoodooPS2Controller in the works anyplace that works with Snow Leopard. Or, can anyone tell me for sure that the current version works with Snow Leopard?
Update: I found the answer myself. The short answer is that the current version will work in Snow Leo. I was placing it in /Extra/Extensions without building an Extensions.mkext file because it was the first boot under Snow Leo. That resulted in a mouse cursor that was frozen in the upper left corner of the screen.
Out of desperation, I tried to boot in single user mode. That worked. Then, I used the following command to build the Extensions.mkext under Snow Leo.
kextcache -v 1 -t -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext /Extra/Extensione
Then, after renaming the Extensions folder, I restarted the system. Now, the mouse cursor works just fine.

As far as I've seen this will work in 32bit mode only though.
A compiled 64bit flavor would be bonus.

At the boot prompt, enter "-s" and press Enter

Did you delete the ApplePS2Controller from /S/L/E before staging these in /Extra/Extensions ? Can you tell me the procedure ?

Sorry for the late reply. I had not been following this area for a while - working on a Linux home theater PC.
I did not delete anything from /S/L/E or any other part of SL. My goal is to keep SL as near vanilla possible. All my overrides/adjustments are in the /Extra folder with the exception of boot, boot0 and the patched mach_kernel.xxx which is referenced in /Extra/con.apple.Boot.plist.

Is there any chance to get this working for Snow Leopard x86_64 ???
I've been trying some kexts compiled for x86_64 as they say, but i can't get it to work and in 32bit it works the same installer package as for leopard.
And i'm using a ps2 mouse not a touchpad or anything else.
