Version 3.2.1 Change Log
  • Updated vJoy for windows 10 support.
Version 3.2  Change Log
  • Added support for third party adapters.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented some inputs from being detected by vjoy.
Version 3.11 Bug Fix Change Log
  • Fixed a vJoy directory issue that was causing the dpad not to work.
  • Removed the option to disable all 4 joysticks (vJoy doesn't allow this anyway... use the "disable ports on exit" option).
Version 3.1 Change Log
  • Added a compatibility mode for people having trouble with the interrupt request mode (called windows 8 compatibility, enabled by default)
  • Compatibility mode is the equivalent of 5ms mode from the previous version.
  • Switched to vJoy 2.05 which apparently means Windows 10 may now be supported (pending confirmation, since I have no test system).
  • Included 32-bit binaries in the install directory (/x86/) for 32bit/x64 Operating Systems.
Version 3.0 Change Log
  • Unsigned Driver mode is no longer necessary running under Windows 8
  • A WinUSB filter installed through Zadig is now used instead of LibUSB with dpinst or install-filter.
  • The driver now operates directly through the interrupt requests driven by the windows USB handler instead of a loop.
  • The ability to select input latency has been removed (the driver will always run as fast as possible with no additional overhead).
  • Full support of the dolphin native USB implementation has been added. Installing this version of the driver will let you use either as an input method for dolphin.
  • Automatic update checks have been added (they can be disabled in the configuration menu). The device will redirect you to this page and the latest version when one is available.
  • Minor changes to error reporting will hopefully provide better error message support.
