Mirrors & Archives

You can explore mirror copies or archived binaries on the file server, these are typically in «working conditions» but may no longer be maintained or have been superseded by other solutions. Use with care ✨

Buildbot Archive

Copies of build artifacts spit out by AppVeyor are mirrored on a separate file server since they get removed automatically from their infrastructure after a month. Drivers hosted there are unsigned (or test-signed) and therefore won’t work on a non-developer-machine with the right preparations. Build artifacts are of interest typically only to developers or beta-testing folks, explore at your own risk 🦋

How to Install/Remove

DsHidMini can only work its magic if it’s the dominant driver for your controller, you may have others preinstalled that need removal, this guide covers most of the known cases.

Installation

No matter what software you may have preinstalled, this step is always the same 😀

Version 2.x.x

By now if you plug in your controller (or reboot the machine) chances are high that everything already works as expected. If it doesn’t, worry not, read on here!

Version 1.x.x

Version 1 has been deprecated and replaced by version 2, which is not backwards compatible, so study the installations instructions carefully and make sure you use the versions outlined!

By now if you plug in your controller (or reboot the machine) chances are high that everything already works as expected. If it doesn’t, worry not, read on here!

Updating

If you want to update, simply follow all the same steps of the installation and overwrite any existing files. Reboot your machine to be extra safe if it didn’t work right away.

Removal

If you want to remove DsHidMini from your computer you first need to delete it from Windows Driver Store:

After that, DsHidMini should be fully gone from your computer 😥

Troubleshooting

Verifying if the controller is loading the correct driver

The driver can’t do anything if it is not being used, so to check this:

If the device appears there but the driver status indicates some error (e.g. This device cannot start (Error Code 10) ) try pressing the Reset button on the back of your controller and then reconnecting it. Rebooting your computer is also worth a shot.

If the controller does not appear under Nefarius HID Devices or if this section doesn’t exist at all, you probably have another driver taking priority over DsHidMini. To solve this you need to remove those rogue drivers. See how to do so on the removing conflicting drivers section.

Removing conflicting drivers

We need to first determine if any other conflicting device driver is present on the system and remove it so DsHidMini can take over that job. The steps outlined here may or may not be applicable to your system, it entirely depends on your past 😜 and the stuff you potentially installed. Worry not though, together we shall succeed ✨

ScpToolkit

If you had ScpToolkit installed, you need to purge every remains from your machine. Follow this comprehensive removal guide.

Official Sony driver

If you have/had PS Now installed, chances are high you have the official Sony sixaxis.sys on your system. Follow this procedure to remove it.

FireShock

If you’ve used Shibari before you probably have FireShock installed, lets rectify that:

Controller does not connect by Bluetooth

Let’s go step-by-step with this:

If after all those tries the device still fails to connect, then maybe:

Virtual gamepad emulation driver windows 7

Many hardware names are usually named after the chip model, and each chip model has its own dedicated driver, so as long as you know the chip model used by the hardware, you can find the right driver. For example, if your graphics card is named: «AMD Radeon RX 580», while actually the core chip model used is: «Radeon RX 580», then enter «Radeon RX 580» or «RX 580» to find the driver.

If you have a laptop or an all-in-one PC, you can also use the product name to search, and then go to the download page which has all the drivers for this machine (including: graphics card, network card, sound card, etc.). For example, if your laptop product name is: «Dell A6-9220e Inspiron Flagship», then type «Dell A6-9220e» to find all the drivers for this laptop.

1. Enter a keyword in the input box and click the «Search» button

2. In the query results, find the driver file you need, and click the download button

• Can’t find the required driver files?
• Don’t know how to find driver files?
• Unable to download driver files due to unstable network?
You can try using this driver file finder. The method of use is very simple. The program will automatically list all the driver files available for your current system. You can install drivers for devices that do not have drivers installed, and you can also upgrade drivers to the latest driver version for devices that have already installed drivers. Click here to download the driver finder.

If you have any questions, please leave a message. We will seriously reply to every question.

General info

To properly function or to have its capabilities improved, DS4Windows makes use of first and third-party drivers, some of which are required while others are optional. This page contains a list of all drivers that were currently or previously associated to it.

Required and optional drivers

Nefarius’ Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus (Nefarius’ ViGEmBus)

The ViGEmBus driver is the most important driver used by DS4Windows. It can create virtual/fake/emulated controllers, which DS4Windows uses to spawn virtual Xbox and DS4 controllers.

Nefarius’ HidHide

The HidHide driver allows the user to «hide» gamepads from the system and make them detectable to only chosen programs in order to prevent the infamous double input issue.

Travis Nickles’ FakerInput

DS4Windows uses the FakerInput driver to expose system-wide virtual keyboard, relative mouse and absolute mouse. Allows Keyboard + Mouses events/commands to be usable in some situations where the usual way DS4Windows sends those commands (via «SendInput) fails. Examples of those situations are elevated processes and games, UAC prompts and anti-cheat systems that block SentInput events. Use of FakerInput is necessary to allow DS4Windows to work with some games with anti-cheat protection like valorant.

Legacy drivers

Nefarius’ HidGuardian

HidGuardian is a driver that can hide controllers from the system and allow only chosen processes to detect them. It was previously used by DS4Windows to solve the double input issue, but was made obsolete by the release of its successor, HidHide, a similar driver that works better and is easier to use.

DS4Windows removed support for HidGuardian in version 3.0.8 in favor of HidHide. As such, users who used and still have HidGuardian installed can be in a state where their controllers are hidden and undetectable to Windows and DS4Windows.

It’s highly recommended for the user to follow HidGuardian’s uninstall instructions in order to verify if it’s installed and how to safely remove it in case it is.

Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus (ScpVBus)

Necessary to confirm the information here

The ScpVBus driver is used to create fake/virtual/emulated Xbox 360 controllers. It was made obsolete by the release of its successor, the ViGEmBus driver.

Usually, users accidentally install this driver when they search for «DS4Windows» on google and end-up clicking on the first result that appears, which leads to the original (but now obsolete) version of DS4Windows from the developer Jays2kings which prompts the user to install it.

ScpVBus is not used anymore by Ryochan7’s DS4Windows besides for experimenting purposes on special testing builds. Therefore, this driver has no use for the average user and it’s better if it were to be uninstalled in case it’s present since it has a minor chance of causing issues/BSoD on Windows.
