Install ZENO
- Download ZENO from the download page and check its SHA-256 checksum (optional, shown next to the file).
- Install the ViGEmBus driver so games can see ZENO's virtual controller. ZENO still runs without it, and tells you it's missing.
- Optional: install HidHide to hide the physical controller from games.
- Run Zeno.exe. Windows SmartScreen may warn about a new app; choose "More info" to see the publisher before you run it.
Connect a controller
Plug in the controller by USB or pair it over Bluetooth in Windows settings. ZENO shows it on the Dashboard within a second or two.
Upgrade
Download the new version and replace the old Zeno.exe. Your profiles and settings are kept: they live in your user folder, not next to the app. ZENO keeps restore points under Recovery in case you want to go back.
