I don't have a bug to report but I wanted to leave a comment without making a whole new thread - if you want to minimize the amount of people panicking over whether or not this thing is a virus of malware, it probably would be better if it didn't launch a lone png from My Little Pony. lol.

There is no need for me to minimize anything to be frank, so far the entire operation is quite the success!

Don't you think viruses in 2023 would try a wee bit harder to hide from the user and not draw attention to them with a colorful splash screen? 😅

Answer 6 · 2023-09-13T20:18:01.000Z

Yes, probably.

My reasoning was that i don't remember installing this tool.
Does this tool ship with DS4Windows?

Not complaining, just trying to understand.

This tool as in Legacinator doesn't ship with anything AFAIK. If you mean ViGEmBus there's quite a bit of tools out there that silently install it for you, and yes, DS4Windows is amongst them.

Same, I thought this was very sus, but knew it was related to ds4windows most likely.

Now it's getting uncovered how many tools just ship my stuff without crediting me or informing the user that they install it 😇

This is one reason why I dislike bundling software and silently installing dependencies. Yes, it is more convenient but it also hides what is actually happening from the user.
