Controller Emulation Mode: ViGEmBus (RPCS3 compatibility)

Section titled “Controller Emulation Mode: ViGEmBus (RPCS3 compatibility)”

This is the recommended mode and should not require any mapping. You simply need to assign the Handler, Device, and Device Class/Type.

Mapping
Controller Emulation Mode: ViGEmBus

This is not suggested as it requires lots of manual mapping. You should instead use ViGEmBus (RPCS3 compatibility).

By default, XInput has most things bound correctly. You only need to remap the following:

L3Right Stick ClickPad Modifier
R3Right BumperCymbal Modifier
  • Rock Band Drums send multiple button presses out at once. For example, a Red pad will send “B” and “Right Stick Click” (which translates to “Circle” and “L3”.) Keep in mind these are needed to the emulator to tell your cymbals apart.
    • It’s strongly suggested to bind an Xbox controller like the Mapping screenshot below then swapping the Device to your Xbox One Rock Band Drums.
  • To bind multiple buttons to one RPCS3 button, hold Shift then click on the RPCS3 button you want to assign multiple buttons to.

  3. After that, you can select the profile in the “Pads” menu.

    RPCS3's Gamepad Settings, showing the cursor over a profile.

Most of the time, these controller profiles should work out of the box. If they don’t, try changing the controller listed in Devices, next to the Refresh button until it receives an input. You can edit this while the game is running.
