Sony PlayStation Portable homebrew developer Raphael dropped by the QJ.NET Forums to release the newest version of JoySens, now on version 1.3. A couple of days back, the PSP homebrew dev released version 1.2 which was made compatible with Custom Firmware 3.71 M33.

In case you missed the previous releases, here's a brief description of the homebrew application: JoySens is a custom firmware plugin that lets users tweak with the sensitivity settings of the analog stick "in a very efficient way as well as 'repair' faulty analog sticks." So what's new with this version of JoySens? A lot, it seems. Here's a list of updates and changes from Raphael's release thread:

• Added a rescaling functionality to fix analog sticks that return too small values in either direction (hence the analog stick wouldn't react in that direction)
• Added DPad/analog swapping
• Made plugin executable smaller by reverting to kernels libc and implementing a fake pow() function rather than linking libm
• Ensured compatibility with homebrew (actually needs the plugin enabled in game150.txt/game3xx.txt depending on the set kernel mode)
• Added FAQ.txt for some frequently asked questions. READ IT BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!
• Fixed a minor bug that could cause the plugin and the PSP to crash when using the auto-center function
