ViGEmBus

ViGEmBus is a Windows kernel-mode driver and USB HID emulation framework that creates virtual gaming peripherals. It functions as a virtual gamepad driver that the operating system recognizes as physical hardware devices at the kernel level.

The project enables kernel-level hardware mimicry to bypass game-specific device requirements and supports remote input redirection, allowing controller data to be sent over a network to a remote machine.

The system covers a range of capabilities including USB game controller emulation and game input automation, which allows for the recording and playback of input sequences for testing and benchmarking.

Features

  • Game Controller Emulations - A feature enabling this project to create virtual gaming peripherals at the kernel level to mimic physical hardware inputs.
  • Kernel-Mode Emulations - Provides a Windows kernel-mode driver that presents virtual hardware devices as physical USB peripherals to the operating system.
  • HID Emulations - Provides a low-level framework for mimicking Human Interface Device signals to automate inputs or redirect data over networks.
  • Standard USB Device Emulations - Operates as a Windows kernel-mode driver creating virtual gaming peripherals detected as physical hardware devices.
