Apparently ARM64 installations are on the rise, the solution/project needs this platform integrated and tested.

Any chance of this happening? Xbox cloud gaming is working pretty good on my arm device, would like my old logitech rumblepad 2 to work on it with the x360ce emulator! Good opportunity to do more on this arm device!

Here's the first unsigned and untested ARM64 build for anybody who knows how to test-sign, manually install and put the machine in test mode.

We successfully installed and tested a build on a MacBook Pro 14 (M1 Pro) and everything seems to work fine! Next step is making a setup for it.

Well, partial progress is better than no progress 😉 We'll figure it out.

I don't know why this doesn't seem to be working on Parallels, but this works perfectly on my original Windows Arm hardware. You guys are lifesavers!

Isn't parallels emulating a different CPU architecture?

Not really, or at least it shouldn't be. The M1 is an ARM-based CPU, and Parallels can't translate CPU architecture and perform well, so it has to use a version of Windows designed to be installed for ARM64 hardware like mine (Galaxy Book2). It should be worth noting that I'm referring to full Windows ARM64, not Windows RT or Windows Mobile.

I see. I have no experience with Apple stuff or Parallels etc. so I'll take your folk's words for it 😇

Seems to be fixed now on Windows 11 inside of Parallels

Hi! I try to use with Windows 11 in Parallels, but after successfull installation I can't see Xbox 360 controller in Device Manager. I installed VigemBus 1.20.432.
What is the name of the device?
How can I check it installed correctly?

Well, what feeder software do you use? On its own there won't be any controller on the system.

What feeder software should I use? I will really appreciate if you could provide some examples.
PS: I installed XOutput, but it says it can't find VigemBus.

That entirely depends on your use-case, I can't tell you that 😅 DS4Windows from Ryochan7 is the most prominent example.

But that one doesn't work with Windows on arm, right? Is there an alternative feeder software that does work?

Userspace feeder can just be x86/x64 and they will work fine. Also, DS4Windows is a .NET 6 app and shouldn't be too difficult to support ARM64. You might even be able to force the current x64 release to be run as ARM64 (see "Coercing already-built apps to Arm64" at dotnet/core#7709).

Could you please share the name of feeder you used to make it work in Parallels? Thank you
