Windows 7 x64 version 7229, The installer goes through everything fine but zips through the actual install procedure in a few milliseconds and doesn't actually install.

Also, your link is broken or something, I had to highlight it and copy+paste into my address bar.

Charles will be editing his post to include the link to the 64-bit version shortly.

Ok great, thank you.

[CharlesB]

Sorry, my bad. Had to walk back to my desk to post the edit too

[slime73]

Woot! It works great, awesome!

Will there be a way to calibrate it/set the dead-zones though, or is that up to the games themselves?

thank you for trusting us with a beta

[Trusselo]

just a note after i enabled the joystick windows did not recognize it untill i wiggled it.

Working great in Vista 64 no issues so far

Calibration can be done through Windows Control Panel under Game Controlers. this is where the wiggling was needed to show up too.

Windows XP SP3: Updated from 3.02 to Beta 3.03.

LCD stayed black because Mon was not starting (not even manually).

BSOD (STOP Code unknown, no Dumpfiles, no time to check Eventlogs) at first reboot

Everything seems to work fine after 2nd reboot in windows "normal" mode.

ran into a small problem with the beta but its kind of an old problem too.  after installing it had enabled the SideShow gadget for WMP was enabled for QVGA screen and it still doesnt work, right after closig WMP it stays playing only visible in TASK MANAGER.  the g13 doesnt even have a color screen why would it be turned on by default??.  I know it was turned off before the install ran into this after installing 3.02
