Vita X-input Enabler

PSVita kernel driver for x-input gamepads (e.g. xbox360)

Features

  • Support for up to 4 wired usb x-input, original xbox or ps3 devices, Logitech Rumblepad/DualAction and Playstation Classic controllers.
  • Support for up to 4 wireless Xbox 360 gamepads via 1 wired usb receiver.
  • Auto turn-off wireless controllers on suspend.

Note: xbox 360 wireless receiver takes over all 4 gamepad ports, so you can't use wired and wireless gamepads simultaniously.

For full list of supported devices see here

Read this carefully

There two versions of plugins: vixen.skprx and vixen_ds3.skprx. Second one supports wired ds3-alike pads.
If you use vixen_ds3.skprx you

  1. need to make sure it's first plugin under *KERNEL
  2. will lose ability to pair wireless ds3 via usb on pstv. So if you need to - temporarily comment-out plugin.
  3. ds3 support is very unstable atm. Tl;dr if you don't use anything, that presents itself as ds3 (except wireless ds3 itself) - use vixen.skprx. Otherwise you may try vixen_ds3.skprx

Installing

  • Copy vixen.skprx or vixen_ds3.skprx into ur0:tai folder
  • Add ur0:tai/vixen.skprx or ur0:tai/vixen.skprx line under *KERNEL in tai config and reboot.
  • For vita you need usb Y-cable and external power. See this for example.
  • For pstv it is highly recommended to use usb-hub with external power for gamepads with force-feedback.

FAQ

  • Does it support joycon, xbox one s, insert another wireless controller here?
    NO. It supports wired USB controllers only. Yes, Xbox 360 is also wired (because you need receiver) For wireless (bluetooth) use ds34vita, VitaControl or MiniVitaTV
  • Can i connect my Xbox 360 pad via charge'n'play?
    No. Because it's more charge than play. It doesn't support data. You need wireless receiver.
  • Does it support insert controller name here?
    Currently it supports plenty of x-input devices, original xbox devices (via xbox->usb adapter) and some wired HID gamepads. See here If your device isn't in that list (or doesn't present itself as ds3 or xbox or xbox360 pad), see that list If it's in that list - i can add support. If it isn't - i, most likely, can't (yet) without having such device.
  • Can i install it alongside another input plugin? Generally that isn't recommended. Most input plugins (ds34vita/vitacontrol) hook same functions, conflicts will definitely arise.
    You can use it with ds4touch/ds4motion.
  • There's no guide/home/ps button on my pad Use L+R+Start combo instead
