The ViGEm Bus Driver is a Windows kernel-mode driver that enables the emulation of well-known USB game controllers as pure software-based devices at the kernel level. It aims to provide 100% accurate emulation of gaming peripherals, mimicking the behavior of real devices. The driver is developed by Nefarius Software Solutions e.U.
Some key points about the ViGEm Bus Driver include:
- It allows games and other processes to detect ViGEm-based devices without requiring additional modification, such as Proxy-DLLs or API-Hooking.
- The driver is designed and written using Microsofts Kernel-Mode Driver Framework.
- The ViGEmBusUpdater.exe file is associated with the ViGEm Bus Driver and is used for updating the driver.
ViGEm Bus Driver is not essential for Windows and can sometimes cause problems. In some cases, malware may camouflage itself as ViGEmBusUpdater.exe, so it's important to check the file's location and verify its authenticity.
