User guide

Main screen

The main screen allows you to start and stop the driver. Inputs are only processed when the driver is running.

Important information is displayed in the Log section. By clicking "Configuration," you can access the Configuration Screen.

If you click "Windows Gamepad Info," it opens the Windows Gamepad Info screen.

Configuration

On this screen, you can customize the default functionality of the application (located at the top left) or Enable/Disable controllers and adjust deadzones.

Initially, all controllers are enabled, and it is recommended to disable any unused ports. The default deadzone values should work well for most controllers.

Windows Gamepad Info

Clicking "Windows Gamepad Info" opens the default Windows screen.

To check a controller, select it from the list and click "Properties."

Button testing reference:

  • Z-Axis is the L trigger
  • X-rotation is the C-stick X axis
  • Y-Rotation is the C-stick Y axis
  • Z-rotation is the R trigger
  • Button 1 is 'A'

Changelog

Version 3.2.1

  • Updated vJoy for windows 10 support.

Version 3.2

  • Added support for third party adapters.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented some inputs from being detected by vjoy.

Version 3.11 Bug Fix

  • Fixed a vJoy directory issue that was causing the dpad not to work.
  • Removed the option to disable all 4 joysticks (vJoy doesn't allow this anyway... use the "disable ports on exit" option).

Version 3.1

  • Added a compatibility mode for people having trouble with the interrupt request mode (called windows 8 compatibility, enabled by default)
  • Compatibility mode is the equivalent of 5ms mode from the previous version.
  • Switched to vJoy 2.05 which apparently means Windows 10 may now be supported (pending confirmation, since I have no test system).
  • Included 32-bit binaries in the install directory (/x86/) for 32bit/x64 Operating Systems.

Version 3.0

  • Unsigned Driver mode is no longer necessary running under Windows 8.
  • A WinUSB filter installed through Zadig is now used instead of LibUSB with dpinst or install-filter.
  • The driver now operates directly through the interrupt requests driven by the windows USB handler instead of a loop.
  • The ability to select input latency has been removed (the driver will always run as fast as possible with no additional overhead).
  • Full support of the dolphin native USB implementation has been added. Installing this version of the driver will let you use either as an input method for dolphin.
  • Automatic update checks have been added (they can be disabled in the configuration menu). The device will redirect you to this page and the latest version when one is available.
  • Minor changes to error reporting will hopefully provide better error message support.
