Start

Everything between an empty project and a live virtual controller.

  • Installation: reference HIDMaestro.Core.dll from a release ZIP or build from source. The driver install is self-bootstrapping: no EV certificate, no test-signing mode, no manual signing. Windows 10/11 x64, .NET 10, admin required for CreateController.
  • Quickstart: the example/SdkDemo walkthrough. Load the embedded profile catalog, install the driver, create a DualSense and an Xbox 360 Wired side by side, push input, capture rumble.
  • Glossary: XUSB, WinExInput, SWD, ContainerID, &IG_, mshidumdf, GIP. The terms that show up everywhere else in these docs.
