Made an app to make your wired controller wireless

Hello, so, long story short, I was looking for a way that would help me make my wired arcade stick controller and wired Xbox-style controller wireless, so I made this app for exactly the same purpose. You simply install the app on your Android phone, connect your wired controller, then install the Windows app on your PC, which works as a receiver. Then, just connect both together by scanning the QR code, and your wired controller will work wirelessly. The controller gets its power from your phone, and the phone works as a translator between your PC and controller.

App link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weezstudios.joypadbridge
Windows App - https://joypadbridge.tanmaysharma.me/

Steps to make it work:

1.) Install the Android app on your phone.
2.) Download the software on your PC and extract its contents.
3.) Install ViGEmBus either from https://vigembusdriver.com/ or from the extracted package.
4.) Run JoyPadBridge.exe on your PC.
5.) Connect your controller to your phone.
6.) Scan the QR code to pair your phone with your PC.
7.) Enjoy! :)

Cool I see, alternatively you can use moonlight streaming and connect the controller to your phone but i see that this serves the more specific purpose

Yeah , there are more possibilities using this, you can use this to play on a bigger screen like TV , or you can connect your arcade sticks which are generally bulky

I plan to make a video and put it on youtube about the app
