How to Splitscreen Co-op Minecraft JoyPad Mod

Minecraft forum user stcrowe created a video on youtube covering basics of installing Forge and Joypad Mod, as well as some nice tricks like how to play local game with multiple players on the single account.

Joypad Mod with Forge - improvements

New version of the Joypad mod for Forge is out, and in the lack of a definite versioning scheme we're calling it for now "v0.08". Changelog is as follows:

• Enabled the sprint button
• Improvements to movement handling precision
• Movement should now be compatible with mods that override movement, mods that do various actions with mouse clicks may still not work correctly
• 1.6.4 added drop all items by pressing drop while the "sprint" button held. For some reason does not for 1.7.2
• Sensitivity slider is a little better but still needs work
• Fixed annoying issue on xbox gamepad where it was attacking when entering the game and sometimes breaking your stuff!
• You may need to reset controls to default if things aren't working correctly
• You will likely need to readjust the sensitivity slider

As usually, you can download versions for 1.6.4 and 1.7.2 at the Joypad mod page

Joypad mod goes Forge

A lot of cool things happened since the last update. A new developer - eastsider98052 - has joined, and finished the Forge port that I started long time ago. Although he's new to Minecraft development, he managed to make a fully playable mod, and even included a virtual cursor, making it possible to navigate all menus and inventory screens! If you're eager to try it out, head to the Joypad Mod page here:

Fixing the controller ports on PS1

Just a quick note. Today I successfully fixed dead controller ports on one old Sony PlayStation model 5502 using this awesome guide:

Basically, as usually for this kinds of malfunctions the culprint is a blown fuse near the controller board.
To fix it either replace the 700mA SMD fuse or wire a glass one to the sides of the old one. It's an easy operation and can revive your old PS1 in a matter of minutes.

Thanks to Andrew J McCubbin for finding the cause and explaining his findings.

Bugfix for the camera without window focus

Bugfix for the camera without window focus

I've released a small update for the Minecraft joypad mod which fixes an annoying bug with camera in windows without focus. Sorry for that one!

My thanks go to numerous people who notified me about the problem here in comments and through Minecraft forums. Thanks!

Minecraft Joypad Mod for 1.6.2

Hi,

I've updated the Joypad mod to Minecraft version 1.6.2. While I was at it I fixed a bunch of exceptions that occurred in some cases at startup preventing the game from running. If you had troubles running the game before, try now.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to fix the floating hover popup thingy :(. I'm leaving that for the next time :)
