You can combine multiple input devices into one virtual 360 controller using the [Advanced] tab settings (Set "Combine Into" to "One").
The program creates a custom xinput1_3.dll file (in v3) or acts as a virtual driver (in v4) that intercepts game input commands.
Version 4 (newer) creates a "Virtual Xbox 360 Controller" and doesn't rely on DLL files inside game folders, making it better for modern games. Version 3 is often used for older titles.
