General

It is now possible to feed Virtual Xbox devices (vXbox) in a similar way you used to feed vJoy devices.
This preliminary release is intended for users - this release will enable the user to use existing feeders with vBox devices.
Designers of feeders will please wait for the release of a new API (soon). The new API will enable the writing of efficient and robust vXbox feeders.

Limitations

  • No feedback (FFB, LEDs) support yet.
  • Unreliable detection of vXbox devices
  • Need manual installation and removal

Installation

Virtual Bus

vXbox devices are plugged-in into a Virtual Bus (ScpVbus).
First, you need to install the bus.

  1. Download file ScpVBus.zip (attached) and open it in a folder (e.g. C:\TEMP)
  2. You will need only one of the contained folders, according to your computer (64/32 bit)
  3. Start a Command-line (DOS) window as Administrator.
  4. CD to the folder containing the files (e.g. C:\TEMP\ScpVBus-x64)
  5. Type the following command: devcon.exe install ScpVBus.inf root\ScpVBus This will Install the bus.
  6. Later, if you wish to uninstall the bus, type: devcon.exe remove root\ScpVBus

Redirect Feeder

Your current feeder uses file vJoyInterface.dll located with the feeder. You should replace it with the attached files, as follows:

  1. Rename the original file to Orig_vJoyInterface.dll for future use.
  2. If your computer is a 32-bit machine - Copy file vJoyInterface-x86.dll (attached) and rename it to vJoyInterface.dll
  3. If your computer is a 64-bit machine - Copy file vJoyInterface-x64.dll (attached) and rename it to vJoyInterface.dll. If the feeder fails to start - try using the other file.
