Release Candidate 0.8.1.6

How to install

1. Download the installer below.
2. Run the installer.

Once installation is complete, the installer will automatically start the frontend Controller Helper. From here you'll be able to install and start the Controller Service. Once service is running, the frontend will let you manage the virtual controller and create or modify profiles.

Remarks

• This release supports Windows 10/11 only! (Intel/AMD 64-Bit)
• This release will install and deploy ViGEmBus and HidHide.
• This is a release candidate version compiled in debug mode. Its perfromance and CPU usage might be slightly higher than final builds.

Features

• Implemented support for emulating complete DualShock 4 (DS4 touchpad, DS4 Gyrometer and accelerometer)
• Implemented support for motion controls via cemuhook for full compatibility with yuzu and cemu.
• Implement open-API to allow third party applications to communicate with Controller Service.
