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!

  2. Coolj Says:

    Many thanks Raphael,great plugin =)

  3. Dr.LaTino Says:

    Holy crap! Thanks, you saved my life.
    That is..if I can learn how to work it. >_

  4. Dr.LaTino Says:

    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!

  9. Dr.LaTino Says:

    Jeez Raphael I can never send you a PM on Qj..c’mon.

  10. Avalanche Says:

    Think about how many PMs he probably gets every day.

    Here’s probably the best place to reach him.

  11. BorgmanJayce Says:

    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?

  12. the.twx Says:

    Nice work,Raph!

  13. BorgmanJayce Says:

    Thanks for the suggestions and I’ll give them a go! ^_^

  15. paz Says:

    I did every thing you said but I cannot see the plugin.
    I have a 3.71 m-33 fat psp
    please advise

  16. paulodeleo Says:

    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.

  17. raphael Says:

    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 :)

  18. paulodeleo Says:

    Ok, thanks raphael!

  19. NeonLightning Says:

    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

  20. Zero XXX Says:

    it works in 3.71m33-3!?

  21. SDF Says:

    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.

  22. DoubleAgent Says:

    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?

  23. DoubleAgent Says:

    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~

  24. zack Says:

    Hey, tried it but it seems i can’t use offcial firmware version 80, cant sseem to do this “hardboot” you were talking about.

  25. Korlithiel Says:

    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.

  26. Nicolas Ioannou Says:

    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…

  27. ZZGUNDAM Says:

    @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 :P

  28. IMIX Says:

    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!!

  29. raphael Says:

    @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.

  30. paulodeleo Says:

    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…

  31. yue Says:

    Works on Psp-slim, 3.71 m33-4?

  32. Hann1bal_K1ng Says:

    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 :)

  33. Shuren Says:

    Hi man, could you make a joysens version for CF3.80 please? That plugin is great!

  34. Mikael Says:

    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!

  35. Sherman Wu Says:

    Very nice software, big thanks to the developer!

  36. edu27 Says:

    can you release a version 1.4 tu psp 3.90m33 please. sorry my english, i am spanish

  37. psp Says:

    it works in 3.90!!m33

  38. Shinma no Tenchuu Says:

    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.

  39. psp Says:

    hey men..it works on 3.90m33???

  40. SSj3X Says:

    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??

  41. Drdre74 Says:

    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.

  42. Michael Sena Says:

    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.

  43. steve Says:

    yea i agree to could you make a compatible version with 3.90m33 much kudos to you if you do

  44. Fylyp Says:

    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!)

  45. adrian Says:

    Wow this gives me an advantage in medal of honor heroes 2 online thanks!

  46. Urahara Says:

    Thanks for your hard work!
    Please release a version compatible with the 3.90M33

  47. paulodeleo Says:

    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.

  48. Kamil Says:

    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.

  67. uk psp dude Says:

    Uhh can someone give me a tutorial on how to install this on 3.90M33-2

  68. mikekenan007 Says:

    there isnt one i know it cause it works in xmb menu not in game so it doesnt work on 3.90m33-2

  69. Brex Says:

    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!

  70. mikekenan007 Says:

    i dont get how u can get it to work not all of us

  71. mikekenan007 Says:

    can anyone backup wat brex just said on the 2nd of may?

  72. mikekenan007 Says:

    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

  73. ukpspdude Says:

    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

  74. mikekenan007 Says:

    ukpspdude do u have a broken or not working joystick if its not working try keycleaner it might do the trick

  75. anonymous Says:

    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).

  76. Stealthmaster Says:

    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

  77. mikekenan007 Says:

    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

  78. mikekenan007 Says:

    lol XD

  79. mikekenan007 Says:

    oh yeah and my psp isnt bricked and i only have one psp so booyah

  80. mikekenan007 Says:

    if u read the instructions to the key cleaner u wont brick it if u dont read them then thats ur problem

  81. pp01 Says:

    great job Rafael! Thanks for keeping it updated.

  82. blackandwhite Says:

    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…

  83. gmstr1 Says:

    hey i have 3.90 m33-3 on a psp phat. i have the plugin enabled but none of the shortcuts work.

  84. gmstr1 Says:

    am i to make another folder within the seplugin?

  85. gmstr1 Says:

    i got it working but still confused on how to make it work

  86. Michael Sena Says:

    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!

  87. mikekenan007 Says:

    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

  88. Michael Sena Says:

    Whic PRX did u use; can you just detail it exactly for me? :)

  89. mikekenan007 Says:

    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

  90. Crani Says:

    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

  91. Sebe Says:

    I would like to see a confirmation too.

  92. mikekenan007 Says:

    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

  93. Shinma no Tenchuu Says:

    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.

  94. Michael Sena Says:

    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.

    [...] 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.

  96. random1800 Says:

    Please release joysens 1.4!!! Can’t wait!!!

  97. Michael Says:

    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

  98. ZhaoFei Says:

    joysens great! I really like.
    Unfortunately, do not support 4.01 m33-4
    Look forward to joysens1.4……

  99. ZhaoFei Says:

    4.01 M33-2!!!

  100. 赵飞 Says:

    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……

  101. raphael Says:

    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.

  102. 赵飞 Says:

    ok! Thank you very much!!!

  103. 赵飞 Says:

    Wow! joysens 1.4 finally released!
    Support ~

  104. choccy Says:

    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

  105. raphael Says:

    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.

  106. choccy Says:

    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!

  107. Penpvdbs Says:

    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.

    penpvdbs,
