Major Version 3

Before proceeding...

• DsHidMini v3 is the current stable release series. If you need to go back, you can always reinstall v2 (this is not a one-way street).
• For ongoing changes and known issues, check both the open and closed issues and PRs on GitHub.

Highlights

The following features are considered done and have been tested to the best of the abilities of a two-person development team 😉

• Native Xbox One Controller emulation
  • Test as many modern games in this mode as you like, feedback welcome!
• Full Windows 11 compatibility
  • From now on the driver will be signed by Microsoft
• A new configuration tool, which allows you to:
  • configure LED behavior
  • change/disable the combo used to turn off the controller when wireless
  • adjust the deadzone of the sticks
  • tweak rumble settings
  • etc.
• ARM64 builds of the driver
  • Appears to work fine on Apple Silicon using Windows 11 on Parallels
