ViGEm Bus Driver 1.22.0

ViGEm Bus Driver is a Windows kernel-mode driver, digitally signed by Nefarius Software Solutions e.U., that allows to emulate various physical gamepad devices to Windows operating system on x86/x64 platforms. It’s core goal is to allow for low-level access to the input capabilities of games and other applications that do not natively recognize standard input methods.

ViGEm Bus Driver may be used by software developers working on projects related to gamepad emulation, controller mapping utilities, or possibly other applications requiring low-level access to the input channels not natively recognized by the target. It is particularly helpful for custom controller support in games that do not have it built-in or for emulating gaming peripherals using regular input devices.

Yes, ViGEm Bus Driver is free and open-source software under the permissive MIT license.

ViGEm Bus Driver functions on all currently supported Windows systems from Windows 7 and up on x86/x64 architectures.

ViGEm Bus Driver can be installed using either automated installation scripts or manual installation procedures. For detailed instructions for both methods, please visit the official documentation on the Nefarius Software Solutions e.U. website.

ViGEm Bus Driver can emulate a wide variety of physical gamepad devices, including Xbox 360, Xbox One, DualShock 3, and DualShock 4, as well as supporting arbitrary mappings between virtual and physical devices.

No, ViGEm Bus Driver alone cannot be used to cheat in games. Its purpose is solely to allow low-level access to game input and does not provide any functionality or exploit to modify game memory or manipulate gameplay mechanics. Any cheating that occurs must be done through other software that interfaces with the game process.

Yes, ViGEm Bus Driver has experimental support for emulating vibration and force feedback on certain devices. However, not all games will recognize this functionality and it may require additional configuration to work properly.

Nefarius Software Solutions e.U. provides a community-driven support forum where developers and other users can ask for assistance as well as report any issues they may encounter while using ViGEm Bus Driver.

ViGEm Bus Driver is a digitally-signed kernel-mode driver that has been designed and reviewed with safety and security as a priority. However, as with any software involving low-level system access, it is always recommended to use caution and keep your system up-to-date with the latest security patches.
