Windows virtual gamepads now have zero external dependencies - ViGEmBus is removed.
- DualShock 4: Windows UMDF backend (inject/dualshock4_windows.rs + dualshock4_proto.rs),
reusing the DualSense SwDeviceCreate game-detection identity fix. The one UMDF driver serves
the DS5 or DS4 identity/descriptor/features/strings per a device_type byte the host stamps into
shared memory. Driver also gains IOCTL_HID_GET_STRING and a 41-byte calibration feature.
- Xbox 360: a new UMDF2 XUSB companion driver (packaging/windows/xusb-driver/) that registers
GUID_DEVINTERFACE_XUSB and answers the buffered XInput IOCTLs from a shared section, so classic
XInputGetState/SetState work with no kernel bus driver. inject/gamepad_windows.rs is rewritten
to drive it and the vigem-client dependency is removed. Xbox One folds to the 360 XInput path.
- Installer: vendor + pnputil-install the three UMDF drivers (packaging/windows/gamepad-drivers/
+ install-gamepad-drivers.ps1, wired into pack-host-installer.ps1 + punktfunk-host.iss).
- Multi-pad: the host stamps each pad index into the device Location (pszDeviceLocation); the
driver reads it via WdfDeviceAllocAndQueryProperty to map its own *-shm-<index>, with
UmdfHostProcessSharing=ProcessSharingDisabled giving each pad its own host (per-pad statics).
Validated live on the Windows host: Cyberpunk native DualSense detection, DS4 identity + descriptor,
XInputGetState + rumble round-trip, two pads -> two distinct XInput slots, and a full installer build.
