Nefarius Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus Driver is a Windows kernel-mode driver that lets software create high‑compatibility virtual game controllers. By exposing a virtual bus, it enables applications to present virtual Xbox 360 (XInput) and DualShock 4 devices that games recognize immediately, improving compatibility when physical controllers aren’t supported or when advanced remapping is needed. Typical uses include input remapping, combining or translating devices, remote play scenarios, and automated testing.
Designed for low latency and stability, it supports features such as vibration/force feedback and, for DualShock 4, optional capabilities like lightbar and touchpad when used with compatible client libraries. The driver is lightweight, digitally signed, and operates with minimal overhead once installed. Installation requires administrator privileges. It is open source and offers a documented client API, making it a common foundation for third‑party input tools that aim to deliver consistent controller behavior across modern Windows systems.
