Welcome to the VirZOOM Gamepad Emulator! While we design our own exercise games for VirZOOM Arcade to be fun and endlessly replayable in their own right, we've always wanted to let you work out while playing your own favorite games, whatever they may be. To that end, we offer the VirZOOM Gamepad Emulator, which allows you to play other VR and PC games using your VirZOOM bike in place of a traditional controller.

The VZ Gamepad Emulator is still a young product, but we're eager to build on it with your help. Before you can use your VirZOOM bike with another game, the emulator needs a special configuration file to define what different inputs mean – pedal to move forward, right trigger to switch gears, and so on. And those configuration files take time to get right! We've uploaded a few ourselves so far and have more in the pipeline, allowing you to play Project Cars, Radial-G, Time Machine VR, and Eve: Valkyrie – with an alternate configuration featuring head-tracking on the way soon!

We're especially looking forward to seeing what kinds of configurations our community comes up with, both for VR games and 2D games on PC. Thinking you might want to give it a try? Drop by the VZGE Steam Forum to let folks know what you're working on. We encourage users to try out and review one another's configurations, and we're looking forward to sending out t-shirts for great contributions.
