WinSIXAXIS 1.1.0.192 is out

May 22, 2008 on 1:24 pm | In Technology |

On the eve of hitting 200k hits on my blog, WinSIXAXIS 1.1.0.192 is out. This new release adds a monolithic installer that installs both Libusb-win32-filter and PPJoy during the WinSIXAXIS installation process. It also automates the creation and maintenance of the PPJoy Virtual Joystick and its axes mapping to work properly with WinSIXAXIS.

The new release is available on

The WinSIXAXIS homepage

  1. I don’t know exactly where to comment on this, so I guess this is as good as any. I couldn’t find you contact email, otherwise I would have just emailed it to you. Let me just start off by saying, this is an amazing program/driver to get the sixaxis working for the PC. I have used both the ps3sixaxis_en and the Japanese driver, both of which worked, but not with the motion. I had some weird and unexpected problems. What happened to me was every time I opened winsixaxis(or started the computer, which did the same thing) I came up with this error….”Access violation at address 00401EE1 in module ‘WinSIXAIXS.exe’. Read of address 00000102″ And yes, it really does say WinSIXAIXS.exe(spelled wrong). Well, I couldn’t figure it out. It always just froze that window, and the program stopped responding. I could still do everything else on my computer, though. When I Ctrl+Alt+Del to see, in my processes list I saw that winsixaxis.exe was running, but I could not end the process. The other thing I experienced was that my computer never shut down(had to hard reset it). I assume this is because windows for some reason could not close winsixaxis.exe. Well, what I ended up doing, is following the instructions on your homepage for “Those who’s program freezes”. This still didn’t fix the problem. Reboot. So the next thing I did was to unistall libusb-win32. Reboot. Start up WinSIXAXIS again, get the same message. This time, though I can click ok, and it proceeds to the program. I calibrate, and it works!! When I run the libusb test it comes up with this….

    DLL version: 0.1.12.1
    Driver version: 0.1.12.1

    + some extra stuff. So, While I dont have libusb installed(not in my programs list, nor anywhere I can find), it is still coming up on the test. Sorry if that is long and drawn out, but thats pretty much the only way I can explain it. I hope this might possibly help someone else with a similar problem. The error message still comes up, but everything runs fine. Tested it with some games, and it works great. Also when I go to Control Panel>Game Controllers, I only have the parallel port joystick 1 there, no other items. Any ideas on why? Btw, is it possible to map the triggers to a proportional control(like they would be if the controller was being used on the PS3)? Again, awesome stuff, just hope I can help with this information somehow.

  3. Me either. The only qualm I have with this driver is the lack of trigger proportionality. Is there any way I can do this myself?
