Version 7.1 - Hotfix

Fixes config reading not working when the locale is set to countries whereby the floating-point delimiter is a , (rather than the US' .)

Thanks, @BurndiL ! I would have been scratching my head for a while

Version 7 - 3rd Party Support + Fixes

Lots of changes - specific list in the commits - but the summary:

• 3rd party controller support - not perfect, so check the issues tab for hints/tips/trick; done via the "Add Controllers" button
  • can change default calibration for 3rd party controller in the config file: acc_sensiti, gyr_sensiti etc.. (useful for gyro/sticks not working as expected)
• Implemented gyro-to-joystick
• Significantly improved gyro-to-mouse accuracy/stability by using a DCM filter
• Added option to double click sticks to change joycon orientation (split or join)
• Added "DoNotRejoinJoycons" setting that allows you to use two joycons (or more) separately while in vertical mode
• Updated ViGEm drivers
• Fixed DS4 mappings
• Fixed bug with keyboard being messed up by bumping WindowsInput version
• Fixed hidapi.dll not loading for some people (mainly older versions of Windows)

This version has been out and about for some time in the issues page as various zips, so I decided to finally release it officially. Enjoy!

Version 6.4β - Quick Fix

Primarily dropping to fix the window not popping up for some people.

Changes:

• Low battery notification
• Mappable shake input @shukenmg
• Fix accelerometer axis to have correct data for orientation @german77

Single zip for all bit-ness too, courtesy of @shukenmg

Version 6.4α - Even Less Lag™, Gyro Toggle, Rumble Fix

An alpha (α) release of v6.4 - primarily to push the improved rumble out. This version gets rid of the annoying high-pitched rumble sounds that occurred at certain amplitudes.

α is because there is an "Add Controllers" option that hasn't been fully tested, but should allow (at least in theory) to add 3rd party Joycons and Pro Controllers.

Version 6.3 - Gyro Trigger Inputs, Less Lag

• Added ability to map gyro to analogue trigger inputs
• Added checks to forbid running multiple instances of the program
• Fixed input lag

Version 6.2 - fixed input lag, convenient power-off, bug fixes

• Added power off options
  • thanks andreabak
  • default: hold home button for 2 seconds
  • option to turn off automatically after program close
• Fixed input lag for USB and BT

Version 6.1 - DS4 emulation, Bugfixes, Name Change

Mostly bug-fixes and QoL

• Fixed rumble lag introduced in v6 but not present in v5

• Fixed joycon-to-joycon mapping
• Name change to BetterJoy

Version 5 - Passive Scanning, Single Joycon Mode, QoL

Quite a big update feature lots of quality of life improvements that make the program actually usable in my opinion.

• Progressive scanning
  • You can keep BetterJoyForCemu running and just connect controllers to your PC - it will detect them.
• UI rework
  • Buttons for locating controllers through vibration
  • Click on the joycon controller buttons to toggle single/joint Joycon mode.
• Improved rumble
• Added options to turn off HidGuardian and XInput emulation
  • Allows BetterJoy to be used exclusively for gyro (for example when using Citra + Steam)
• Improved driver install batch files (thanks BetaLeaf)
• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience

Version 4 - GUI and HidGuardian

Reworked the program to have a GUI.

If you have used a previous version of BetterJoyForCemu, please uninstall that driver before installing this version's

After installation - connect your controllers and then run BetterJoyForCemu - this will add the controllers to the Windows devices blacklist. First time running, everything might glitch out - worry not though. Once BetterJoy starts up, close it normally and restart your computer.

Added HidGuardian support.

• Weird jittering / Windows / steam glitching shouldn't happen anymore
• Streamlined driver install process
• Installs HidGuardian as a Windows process - don't move the BetterJoyForCemu folder after installation without uninstalling first.
