JoySens 1.3 is out!
This release adds a DPad/Analog swap function on popular request as well as provides a fix for analog sticks that completely deny to respond in one or two directions, which is caused by the stick returning too small values even when pulled to the extremes. You now also can change the configuration for the primary plugin button, which was hardcoded to the NOTE button till now. The download also includes a 3.71 compatible (and only!) version of the plugin, so make sure you use the correct one. For 3.71 with 1.5 kernel patch you need both versions actually to make the plugin work in 1.5 homebrew - see the readme for instructions.
PS: I also started writing a FAQ.txt so if you have any questions, be sure to read that FIRST!

Wow! that was quick. Thanks for the update.
Joysens 1.3 works like a charm!
Keep up the great work Raphael!
October 21st, 2007 at 7:15 pm
Many thanks Raphael,great plugin =)
October 21st, 2007 at 11:10 pm
Holy crap! Thanks, you saved my life.
That is..if I can learn how to work it. >_
October 22nd, 2007 at 6:11 am
Ahhhh..Rafael could you delete some of the PM’s in your QJ.Net profile. I’m really trying to send you something. >_>
It’s really important I get this done by this week.

Hey rapahel! I just wanted to say i really appreciate your work. You’ve saved me from opening my psp to see whats wrong with my analog. I was on the edge of my seat about to open it but decided not to risk it because i wouldn’t know what to do after ive opened it.
So i browsed on the internet going on google asking on forums and ended up finding the Joysens Plugin. This is the main reason why im upgraded to custom Firmware.
All i can say is raphael should win plugin of the year award!
October 24th, 2007 at 2:27 am
Jeez Raphael I can never send you a PM on Qj..c’mon.
November 2nd, 2007 at 2:45 am
Think about how many PMs he probably gets every day.
Here’s probably the best place to reach him.
November 2nd, 2007 at 6:46 pm
I just want to say that this plugin is a great idea and I have a few questions that I want to ask:
1) Which plugin version do I enable if I’m using it with the M33 3.71 custom firmware with the 1.5 kernel plugin?
2) Does this plugin work with both firmware and games?
3) If I enable only the GAME150.TXT plugin, would I still be able to use it in the VSH?
4) I’m trying to use the plugin with “Dragoneer’s Aria” and “Blade Dancer” and I’ve set it up to disable the analog stick but I can’t use the D-Pad at all… What’s the correct setting I should use?
November 4th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
Nice work,Raph!
November 5th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Thanks for the suggestions and I’ll give them a go! ^_^

I did every thing you said but I cannot see the plugin.
I have a 3.71 m-33 fat psp
please advise
November 17th, 2007 at 2:28 am
Thanks for the great plugin!
Thanks to a simple “center = ” config (took less than 1 minute to configure) now my analog stick is working better!
But I thing I have found a little bug about the primary button mapping. Seem like NOTE is hardcoded somewhere.
I already use NOTE for screenshot plugin, and wanted to use “primarybtn = VOLDOWN”.
That way, I though I could press VOLDOWN+CROSS to reset, but instead I have to press NOTE+VOLDOWN+CROSS.
The show info output is still triggered by NOTE, and to pin/unpin it I have to press NOTE+VOLDOWN+TRIANGLE.
Is that right? Because that way all my screenshots are grabbed with unwanted “info output” data.
I’m using version 1.3 on 3.71 M33-3 CFW, with 1.50 kernel addon.
November 19th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
I noticed that little bug a while earlier already - seems I wasn’t too focused when I added the primary button mapping. It is already fixed in the current source and will be released with version 1.4 (or maybe 1.31), depending on how much things I find to work on still.
Thanks for the notification anyway
November 20th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
Ok, thanks raphael!
November 23rd, 2007 at 2:41 am
i have it working(i can only tell by the not going upleft auto anymore)
but i can’t get it to show the info and i hit note+select and no difference in the usage
November 24th, 2007 at 1:11 am
it works in 3.71m33-3!?
November 29th, 2007 at 8:17 am
how would i know if joysen is working? I put it in SE plugins on my 3.52 M33-4 fat psp and enabled it but dont know how to actiate it. All i want to do is disalbe my analog stick.
December 3rd, 2007 at 7:14 am
Seems it can’t run under custom program,i put it in SE PLUGINS/GAME150.TXT and enabled it and when I run custom program PSP will automatically shut down.Any solution?
December 3rd, 2007 at 7:29 am
Sorry for previous post,I didn’t notice the JOYSENS.PRX but only JOYSENS 371.PRX
anyway thanks for your plugin,it helps a lot~
December 25th, 2007 at 9:46 am
Hey, tried it but it seems i can’t use offcial firmware version 80, cant sseem to do this “hardboot” you were talking about.
December 31st, 2007 at 6:09 am
Seems interesting, I’ve been thinking of playing around with this and have recommended it to many people who refuse to fix their analog.
Thanks for this, I look forward to when you release the next version.
January 11th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
i installed the 1.3 (firm 3.71 M33)..it seems to be working (disabled faulty analog) but when i go into game play it resets the values and so the analog takes over and does the same annoying down constant movement…how can i make sure the values i put for the plugin stay like i want them through out?
thank you and keep up the good work…
January 14th, 2008 at 5:24 am
@Nicolas - After you adjust, press NOTE+CIRCLE to save settings.
Hey raphael, nice plugin, I`ve tried adjusting by watching the analog axes, but mine keeps moving liek crazy and I can`t get a tight fix, Dead Head Fred analog works slighty better than GoW, but still moves alone no matter what, sometimes the analog refuses to even move…
Oh, On certain games like Dead Head Fred, when you shift Analog to DPad, I can`t use the original functions for which the DPad was intended, could you possibly add a function that makes the analog/dpad inputs the same, but acces the original Dpad functions by holding another button?
In English = When not pressing an extra button, the guy moves, but if I hold “L” the guy doesn`t move, but I can use the non analog menu.
I think I`m speaking chinese here lol
January 14th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Hello!
Thank you for a great plugin!!!
I just upgraded to cfw 3.80M33, and the joysens plugin doesn’t work.
is there something I must do or change?
or is there a possibility of an update in the future?
THANKS!!
January 15th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
@ZZGUNDAM: I’ll have a look at changing that for 1.4
@IMIX and all others with 3.80-m33: You need to use the non-371 version of the plugin ONLY! If that’s not enough also be sure you have the 1.50 kernel addon for 3.80m33 that was released recently (http://www.dark-alex.org/150k_addon.rar). If it still won’t work, please contact me again and I’ll see what I can do.
January 16th, 2008 at 5:01 am
Doing what you said (using only joysens.prx and not joysens371.prx, in GAME.TXT), makes it work with 3.80. Thank’s for the tip!
I’m already using 1.50 kernel addon, so, don’t know if it’s really needed for joysens + 3.80 M33-2.
Any news about 1.4? That conflict with the not key with other plugins I described some time ago is really making me sad…
January 18th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Works on Psp-slim, 3.71 m33-4?
January 21st, 2008 at 5:57 am
I was wondering if you plan on updating joysens for 3.80 m33? If so then I could finally upgrade cause withoug joysens i wouldnt be able to play any games. thanks
January 21st, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Hi man, could you make a joysens version for CF3.80 please? That plugin is great!
January 22nd, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Hi, Great Plugin, really helps to get my damn stick working!

Also, as some others have asked: could you do a ready-use version for the 3.80M33? I won’t do the upgrade without it: I can’t afford not to run your plugin
Also, as paulodeleo mentions, any possibility to activate it with other keys? Because my LE recovery uses the same keys to be activated and I can’t run both at the same time
Great job, you really help us all!
February 4th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Very nice software, big thanks to the developer!
February 7th, 2008 at 3:32 am
can you release a version 1.4 tu psp 3.90m33 please. sorry my english, i am spanish
February 9th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
it works in 3.90!!m33
February 10th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
I like this…
I tried this many times. The only problem i have is that it isn’t completely automatic.
I have to do the configuration on the pulls manually or semi-auto.. -.-”
If i keep doing so my stick moves out of place even more some times.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:14 am
hey men..it works on 3.90m33???
February 22nd, 2008 at 4:50 am
I try the plugin on 3.80M33-5 with the 1.5 Kernel as well, but for some reason I can’t get it to work even though I enabled it. Is this supposed to be an in game process or can you do it on the XMB background??
February 28th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Any word on 1.4 and if it’ll work on 3.90M33? My psp is pretty much worthless without the plug in. Analog goes all over the place whrn I try and play games that use the analog stick. Like in WWE smackdown the analog is used for taunt. So every 3 seconds he’ll do a taunt and it messes up everything. In tomb raider the character walks slow even though I’m pushing forward to run or she walks to the right by herself. I’ve even changed out the motherboard on my psp and it still does it. I may have to downgrade back to earlier M33 to use this plug in until its updated.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Hi,
I really appreciate how Joysense has helped me so far; but I agree with Drdre74…. can you please release an update that is compatible with 3.90m33! I can’t use my PSP either without this mod. I wouldn’t have upgraded had I have known joysens wouldn’t work.
If you have a testing version even that I could try or help you with, I’d be more than happy to help! Just send me an email.
March 4th, 2008 at 6:32 am
yea i agree to could you make a compatible version with 3.90m33 much kudos to you if you do
March 8th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Yes please, give us a new one compatible with the 3.90M33, my D-Pad doesn’t work and i can’t upgrade my firmware without you ^^
(Sorry if my english is bad but i’m french!)
March 8th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Wow this gives me an advantage in medal of honor heroes 2 online thanks!
March 10th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Thanks for your hard work!
Please release a version compatible with the 3.90M33
March 10th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
People, 1.3 works fine with 3.80 / 3.90 M33, as described by raphael on his comment from January 15th, 2008 at 9:32 pm.
March 11th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Hi. I have a little problem. I’m using a 3.80 m33-5 with an 1.50 kernel. And your plugin is not working ( i’ve tried to install it like paulodeleo ) . It also didn’t work when i was trying to install it on 3.71 m33-4. This plugin is my only option to fix my joy. I’ve tried everything else and it’s my last hope.
March 22nd, 2008 at 8:54 pm

April 25th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
there isnt one i know it cause it works in xmb menu not in game so it doesnt work on 3.90m33-2
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:04 pm
I am currently using this fantastic plugin on my 3.90m33-3 Phat PSP, it works fine in games, but is not enabled in the XMB. I have no reason to lie about it working or not. In a few previous attempts i remember having my PSP freeze on boot, but since an update and a theme change everything works well proper! My great THANKS go out for this awesome plugin!
May 5th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
i dont get how u can get it to work not all of us
May 16th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
can anyone backup wat brex just said on the 2nd of may?
May 16th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
u guys use keycleaner and check ur last key mine was corrupted and i fixed it and now it works perfect so try that it should work
May 28th, 2008 at 11:34 am
brex could you make a tut or mail me how you did it im desperate i also have a phat psp 3.90M33-3
Email:man_utdfan7@live.com
June 9th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
ukpspdude do u have a broken or not working joystick if its not working try keycleaner it might do the trick
June 12th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Shut the f**k up mike. KeyCleaner will not fix compatibility issues. It only fixes the your PSP IDStorage. If messed up your IDStorage with KeyCleaner, you simply break some PSP functionalities and can only be fixed with a NAND dump or send back Sony.
So quit telling people to brick their PSP.
Anyway, use joysens.prx instead of joysens371.prx (this is for CFW 3.71 only).
June 13th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I use CFW 3.90 and joysens works great. Thanks Raphael you’re my personal hero. It seems to be one of the greatest and most important plugins ever
June 13th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
anyomonous u dont have to be rude im not trying to tell ppl to brick there psps i used it and fixed my idstorage and now my joy stick works fine if u dont believe THATS UR PROBLEM like i said i used it just fine and now my psp is fully functional ur just being a ass because u didnt figure it out
June 13th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
lol XD
June 13th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
oh yeah and my psp isnt bricked and i only have one psp so booyah
June 13th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
if u read the instructions to the key cleaner u wont brick it if u dont read them then thats ur problem
June 14th, 2008 at 7:49 am
great job Rafael! Thanks for keeping it updated.
June 18th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
thank you, great job. this plugin works really fine but one more thing would be perfect… can you add a swap for analog with the x-o-triangle-square buttons? games like call of duty doesn’t let you play with analog as the first person look… and if you change the note button with something like L+note, it will be less annoying…
June 21st, 2008 at 11:34 pm
hey i have 3.90 m33-3 on a psp phat. i have the plugin enabled but none of the shortcuts work.
June 21st, 2008 at 11:49 pm
am i to make another folder within the seplugin?
June 22nd, 2008 at 12:02 am
i got it working but still confused on how to make it work
June 28th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
How do you get it working on 3.90??
And can anyone get it on 4.01??
Raphael: If you contact me, I’ll try and fix it for the newer firmwares!
June 29th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
yes it does work in 4.01m33-2 with 1.50 kernal just tested i use it for the sensitivity issue i have works great and joysens works in 3.90m33-3 the other revisions make it act up
June 30th, 2008 at 4:38 am
Whic PRX did u use; can you just detail it exactly for me?
June 30th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
i use the regular joysens.prx and i put it in all texts namingly vsh game game150 and pops text documents and i only activate vsh and game and for some reason and thats pretty much it that i use of that plugin
July 1st, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Hi, this is a pretty useful homebrew, but it doesn’t seem to work on my PSP (just updated to 4.01 m33-2) can some confirm if it works on this FW or could you please create an update so it works, I’m desperate to fix this problem and get back to gaming. Bye.:D
July 2nd, 2008 at 9:25 pm
I would like to see a confirmation too.
July 6th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
well what i did to get it working is i moved all my files off my memory stick to my computer then i formated the memory stick then went into recovery and formatted my flash1 drive and reset all setting which is a option in the advanced menu in recovery mode then i restored default settings regularly then added all my stuff onto my memory stick again then i added joysens.prx then added them to text named game and vsh then i was done and it worked if it doesnt work for u there might be something wrong with ur psp
July 9th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
This may be old news, but on 3.90m33-3, joysens.prx works with the fatsmod v2. VSH & on GAME.
I tried using it before that and it didn’t work. It just froze up and shutdown.
This was tested on a PSP-S.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I can confirm its working on the latest firmware for phat, 4.01 M33-2.
How to definately get it working:
1. Backup all your save data
2. Do a complete re-install, formatting the memory card and flash1.
3. Install the 1.50 add-on.
4. Install the 1.50 version of joysens
5. Restore your data.
Best to reinstall other prx’s that you use, rather than copying them back.
July 12th, 2008 at 7:26 am
[...] After quite a long time of absence I’m here to notify you all that I’m still around and have returned to some PSP coding. I was really amazed at how many people have visited and written on my blog since the last time I checked and it seems that especially my JoySens CFW plugin is still famous. [...]
July 14th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Please release joysens 1.4!!! Can’t wait!!!
July 15th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Thank you for JoySens.
It worked fine for me on CFW’s 3.71, 3.90 and 4.01 on a phat PSP
and it saved me from buying a new PSP because of my broken joystick
Looking forward to JoySens 1.4
July 17th, 2008 at 6:13 am
joysens great! I really like.
Unfortunately, do not support 4.01 m33-4
Look forward to joysens1.4……
July 17th, 2008 at 6:15 am
4.01 M33-2!!!
July 17th, 2008 at 6:26 am
Upgrade to a 4.01 m33-4, joysens 1.3 can not be used.
For example, the latest game: Gundam Battle-Universe
So look forward to joysens 1.4
Refueling ah! Very supportive of you!
My joystick has been bad for a long time……
July 17th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
The latest firmware version is 4.01 M33-2 and JoySens 1.3 works with that firmware, as I’ve tested it myself. If it won’t work for you, try formatting flash1 in recovery menu and reboot. Afterwards it should work fine.
Just don’t use the joysens371.prx!
Anyway, 1.4 is close to getting finished, the new config system just keeps being picky on running properly.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
ok! Thank you very much!!!
July 17th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Wow! joysens 1.4 finally released!
Support ~
July 19th, 2008 at 12:02 am
Hi there,
I’m using CFW 390 M33-3 ETC and have just put 1,4 on but can’t get anything working.
I have enabled the files in recovery mode but see nothing when i get to xmb. my analogue however just goes bit crazy thats all.
Am I missing something??
All help would be great as not used Joysens B4
July 19th, 2008 at 12:45 am
See nothing as in a black screen or just that you see nothing different from the XMB?
In the first case, try formating flash1 from the recovery menu.
In the latter case, you won’t see anything unless you press NOTE + Triangle, which pins the info output to the screen (read the readme for more information on what options you have). If you still see nothing, make sure that you enabled joysens.prx for VSH in recovery. If that still won’t help, e-mail me and I’ll send you a debug version that at least tries to generate some informative output to a log file.
July 19th, 2008 at 2:23 am
hi there,
got it working now.
Made it bit better at moment, need to stop the mouse pointer from going down but i’m sure will have it sorted tomorrow.
Thanks for all your hard work!
September 27th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Hi Raphael,
A very big thanks from homebrew developer penpvdbs,
The psp anolog was stucked in the forward position, it kept going upward in scummVM and normal games. I was even thinking about opening the psp :S
This has fixed it! In thanks I can put a link up to your site.
Thanks man, you made my day. Now I can play my point and click games again on the psp and work further on new apps for the psp.
