--------------------------JoyToKey change history --------------------------Ver 5.4.2 * Fixed garbled characters for some non-Japanese PC and keyboard.

* (only for advanced users) Support specifying "JoyToKey.ini" file path via registry. If you have any reason why you need to forcibly specify "JoyToKey.ini" file path (e.g. you're using some launcher like Hyperlaunch), you can do so via registry editor. 1. Run "regedit" program 2. Create a key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JoyToKey" 3. Create a string value "IniFilePath=c:\whateverpath\JoyToKey.ini" Ver 5.4.1 * Support various file formats (such as mp3) for sound notifications. Ver 5.4 * Added an ability to play sound or show tasktray balloon when the selected profile is changed. - Tasktray balloon can be enabled from "Preferences" menu. - Sound notification can be configured for each profile in "Options" tab. (currently, only WAV files are supported) For example, sound notification could be useful for visually impaired users, while they step through different profiles to help them to pick the right one. * The size of profile files is made smaller by eliminating empty lines. * In case "JoyToKey.ini" file or its directory is not write-able, JoyToKey will try to make them write-able. Ver 5.3.1 * Homepage URL was changed to http://joytokey.net/ Ver 5.3.0 * Support delayed input for a special function to switch profiles. If you want to keep JoyToKey running while you're playing a game which has a native joystick support, the followings may be useful. - Temporarily switch to a profile, which is basically empty - But it has one button assigned for switching back to the original profile after being pressed for X seconds. * Control the behaviour when JoyToKey window is active from menu "Preferences" -> "Don't emulate keyboard input when JoyToKey window is active" (by default true) Ver 5.2.3 * Support emulation for 4th and 5th mouse button. They could be useful if you're using mouse gestures with joysticks.

* Turbo mode was enhanced to support up to x16 processing speed. However, this is experimental and should not be used for regular use as it's very CPU intensive and is likely to slow down the PC. Ver 5.2.2 * Support for loading configuration files from a common AppData folder when it exists. (e.g. C:\ProgramData\JoyToKey) * Added a new menu "Open file folder in Explorer" Ver 5.2.1 * Bug fix: garbled characters for allow keys Ver 5.2.0 * Support the combination of keyboard and mouse click Ex) SHIFT+Click, CTRL+Click In order to specify a mouse click in keyboard assignment window, please right-click the entry box. * Bug fix: minor bug fix for 5.1.2 Ver 5.1.2 * Bug fix: SHIFT + arrow keys were not properly processed. Ver 5.1.1 * Mouse cursor emulation with analog sticks is further improved. Ver 5.1.0 * Mouse cursor emulation is now much smoother with analog sticks, by using a continuous acceleration without a threshold. * In case analog stick input has been wrong, axis mapping can be manually specified. (Menu: "Preferences" -> "Configure joysticks") * In case you have multiple joysticks and want to always use one of them as "Joystick 2" (or any other joystick number), you can define a priority/preferred number for each device. (Menu: "Preferences" -> "Configure joysticks") * Miscellaneous bug fixes. Ver 5.0.3 * (Improvement) Re-detect joysticks after resuming from sleep. Ver 5.0.2 * Bug fix: Preference "Highlight buttons when JoyToKey is active" was not properly saved.

Ver 5.0.1 * Added a menu "Help -> Overview" * Added a button "Edit button assignment" * Minor bug fixes Ver 5.0 * Support for different key assignments based on analog stick input level. * Support for different key assignments based on button hold duration. * Support for rotating key assignments. For example, whenever the same button is pressed, its key assignment can rotate like "A -> B -> A -> B -> A ..." * Enhanced auto-repeat key functionality. The following auto-repeat definitions are newly possible: - "1.5 repeats per second" - "one repeat per 123.4 seconds" - "auto-repeat only after 500 milli-seconds" * When the main window of JoyToKey is activated and joystick buttons are pressed, those buttons will be highlighted in the main window so that you can easily see which button corresponds to which row in the config. (You can change it back to the old behaviour from menu setting) * When the window is minimized, icon will be kept in the taskbar by default. If you prefer the old behavoir and want to hide it from taskbar, you can change it back to the old behavior from settings menu. * Added a comment field for each button definition. For example, you can record a memo like "This button is used for Jump". * Support for copying joystick configration from one to another. Right-click "Joystick 1" header in the main menu, to open a popup menu. * Support for at maximum 4 key assignments for each button. * Various small bug fixes Ver 4.6 * You can choose the default behavior when the target application switches to non-associated appliation. * When you temporarily switch to the virtual joystick configuration while some button is being pressed, the pressed state will be kept without release event if its original key config and the new key config are the same. (e.g. if the arrow key is assigned for both the original joystick1 config and the virtual joystick3 config, then switching between joystick1 and joystick3 won't trigger unnecessary release event) From ver 3.x to ver4.5.x * It became a shareware soft * Support for associating config files with applications It can automatically switch active configuration file based on running applications.

* Support dynamic acceleration of mouse cursor movement If you use mouse cursor emulation with analog stick, the speed sensitivity can be accelerated at certain threshold. * Support 4-way and 8-way assignment for POV control * Auto repeat functionality, ranging from very slow repeat (1 time per 15 minutes) up to 60 times per second (with 2x processing mode) * Support for toggle button e.g. use it for drag&drop with mouse emulation, or for truly automated repeat of keys even when you are away from PC. * Window size became re-sizable * Open / Close main window by left-clicking task tray icon (right-click to open popup menu) * JoyToKey can be started even when joystick is not connected And it will automatically detect the newly connected joystick. (NOTE: it only works the first joystick. If you connect the second one or more, please press "detect" button manually from preferences panel) * Several additions in the menu such as - copy configuration file - open game controller setting from control panel - suspend / resume temporalily - 2x processing mode (if you want to minimize the input latency, sacrificing e xtra CPU load) - generate debug log Ver3.x highlights * Under Windows 2000 or later (including XP), JoyToKey now supports some applications using DirectInput. * Choosing L-Shift, R-Shift, L-Ctrl, ... from the list, you can make a distinction between left and right keys. (Be careful to select L-Shift or R-Shift or (normal) Shift! You have to choose the correct one for the application!) * Support for POV switches. * Support for "Switch to the other configuration file" function. * The configuration file can be easily selected and switched to at task tray menu, without opening and activating JoyToKey window. * The firstly activated configuration file can now be specified by command line option at start up time. * Analog stick can be configured in detail by modifying JoyToKey.ini file directly: "AnalogDeadZone" (ranges 0 to 10000: default 1000) The center area where subtle input from analog stick is ignored. "AnalogSaturation" (ranges 0 to 10000: default 10000) The surrounding area from which additional inputs are saturated.
