Unlike older versions (v3.x) that required you to copy files into every game folder, v4.10 uses a Virtual Gamepad Emulation (ViGEm)

driver. This makes it compatible with modern games that block custom DLL files for anti-cheat reasons. All-in-One Management:

4. Deep Dive: The Recovery Workflow

The v4.10 workflow for a typical IBM i disaster recovery scenario operates in four phases: Discovery: X360 scans the IBM Power environment, identifying

  1. Discovery: X360 scans the IBM Power environment, identifying LPARs and their dependencies (e.g., specific network configurations or storage mappings). It registers these as protected assets in Veeam Recovery Orchestrator.
  2. Orchestration Plan: The admin builds a plan (e.g., "Finance System Recovery"). X360 adds steps specific to IBM i, such as "Initialize IPL (Initial Program Load)" or "Verify License Keys."
  3. Testing (The 4.10 Advantage): The plan is executed in test mode. X360 spins up the recovered LPARs in an isolated sandbox. It executes built-in validation scripts (e.g., "Is the DB2 database accepting connections?").
  4. Execution: In a real disaster, X360 automates the hand-off, restoring the Veeam backup to the target Power hardware and automating the boot sequence.
