Vita X-input Enabler (ViXEn) is a kernel driver for the PS Vita that allows for the use of x-input gamepads, such as the Xbox 360 controller. This driver enables compatibility between the PS Vita and a wider range of gamepads, providing a more immersive gaming experience for users.

Note: xbox 360 wireless receiver takes over all 4 gamepad ports, so you can't use wired and wireless gamepads simultaneously. For full list of supported devices see here.

Features

  • Support for up to 4 wired usb x-input devices, such as original xbox or ps3 devices, Logitech Rumblepad/DualAction and Playstation Classic controllers.
  • Support for up to 4 wireless Xbox 360 gamepads via 1 wired usb receiver.
  • Auto turn-off wireless controllers on suspend.

Installation

Read this carefully

There are two versions of the Vixen plugin: vixen.skprx and vixen_ds3.skprx. The latter version supports wired DS3-alike pads. If you decide to use the vixen_ds3.skprx plugin, you should ensure that it is the first plugin listed under *KERNEL. However, if you use this version, you will not be able to pair wireless DS3 controllers via USB on PSTV. If you need to do so, you can temporarily comment out the plugin.

Please note that DS3 support is currently unstable. In short, if you're not using anything that presents itself as DS3 (except for the wireless DS3 itself), it's best to use the vixen.skprx version. Otherwise, you can try the vixen_ds3.skprx version.

Installing

Copy vixen.skprx or vixen_ds3.skprx into ur0:tai/ folder.

Add ur0:tai/vixen.skprx or ur0:tai/vixen_ds3.skprx line under *KERNEL in tai config then reboot.

ur0:tai/vixen.skprx

For Vita you need usb Y-cable and external power. See this for example.

For PSTV it is highly recommended to use usb-hub with external power for gamepads with force-feedback.

FAQ

Q. Does it support joycon, xbox one s, insert another wireless controller here?

No. It supports wired USB controllers only. And yes, Xbox 360 is also wired (because you need receiver).

For wireless (bluetooth) use ds34vita, VitaControl or MiniVitaTV.

Q. Can I connect mu Xbox 360 pad via charge'n'play?

No. Because it's more charge than play. It doesn't support data. You need wireless receiver.

Q, Does it support insert controller name here?

Currently it supports plenty of x-input devices and wired ds3 (or ds3 compatible), see here.

If your device isn't in that list (or doesn't present itself as ds3 or xbox360 pad), see this list. If it's in the list - it is possible to add support for the device.

Q. Can I install it alongside another input plugin?

Generally that isn't recommended. Most input plugins (ds34vita/VitaControl) hook same functions, conflicts will definitely arise.

Q. There's no guide/home/ps button on my pad.

Use L+R+Start combo instead
