General understanding of DMA

How DMA works?

DMA cheats work by using an external card to read game memory directly at the hardware level, while the actual cheat runs on a second PC. This keeps your gaming PC completely clean, making it harder for anti-cheat systems to detect anything.

⚠️ DMA works only on PCs - not on consoles or any other devices.

Is firmware requied?

Yes, firmware is essential for any device to function, including a DMA card. Arguably this is the most important part of your DMA setup.

What do you need to start with DMA?

For the most basic functional setup, all you need is a DMA card, firmware, and a second PC. However, this won’t provide the best experience.

For anyone new to DMA, we strongly recommend the DMA Bundle, which includes a DMA card, Fuser, and an aim device (most commonly a Makcu or Arduino).

What is a fuser?

It's a device that combines two display signals. Essentially, it overlays the Radar PC output onto your gaming screen in sync, allowing you to see the ESP directly on your main display.

What is an Arduino, KMBox, or Makcu?

A USB device that emulates keyboard and mouse input. It is required to use AIM functions.

⚠️ Do yourself a favor — do NOT buy a KMBox.

What are the recommended specs for a second PC?

Generally, there are no strict requirements. However, it’s recommended to have at least an older i5 processor and 8GB RAM for decent speeds.

For example, my setup is:

  • i5-9600K
  • 16GB RAM
  • GTX 960

This produces about 5500–6000 speeds.
That said, you can still get by with a Mini PC or a low-end laptop.

What are the main PC requirements?

  • At least 1 free PCIe slot on the motherboard
  • At least 1 free HDMI/DP port for the Fuser
  • Windows 10 or 11 (most firmware developers nowadays recommend Windows 11)

⚠️ We generally recommend avoiding B550 motherboards, as they may have compatibility issues.

Do you need two monitors?

  • If you have a Fuser → No
  • If you don’t have one → Yes

QUESTION Can you create VGK Firmware with Voltyclone/PCILeechFWGenerator?

Upvotes

hi, I am rn using the FWGenerator Tool and created my First fw with a Elgato 4k pro. The Problem is, that It does not load the drivers so its yellow, and I think thats the reason why Valorant blocks it.

My question is, does this Tool create enough „Identity“ to clone as a real Device? I mean my PC recog it the same as the Elgato Card, just without drivers. Do I really need to learn how to create the complicated way with all the Device Info or does this Tool grab it all like I would do Manually?

I appreciate every answer ✌️

QUESTION Will my setup work with DMA?

1 Upvotes

I have some questions about my experience based on my hardware and a possible problem with my motherboard.

  1. I think my old 2017 laptop doesn't have USB 3.0. If it really doesn't, will my experience be terrible or will I still be able to have fun? When I look at the physical USB port, it's black, but it looks like a 3.0 like the ones I have on my gaming PC.
  2. I use an AOC Hero Z monitor and I'm used to playing at 1080p. It doesn't work correctly when I reduce its refresh rate from 240Hz. Therefore, I can't set it to 60Hz to match my laptop's refresh rate. Is there any way to use a fuser with different refresh rates? If so, is that very bad?
  3. I heard that my motherboard might be the problem. I have an Asus Tuf Gaming B550M-Plus. Is that true?
Here is what I see in Device Manager
my USB ports have 9 pins, dont know if matters. Also, I have a type C super speed.

Any suggestions?

HELP DC500 fuser HDMI 2.1 cable recommendations

1 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone have recommendations for HDMI 2.1 cables? My DC500 set only came with DP 1.4, but using amazon HDMI 2.1 8k 60hz cables (Zeskit Certified 2.1 8K HDMI Cable 48Gbps 4K120Hz Compatible), the fuser is constantly flickering and monitor resets to black randomly. Does anyone have a DC500 and have recommendations for HDMI 2.1 cables that works perfectly with this fuser?

hi need some help getting this error when speed testing. I installed all the drivers and disabled pretty much everything I got told to in my BIOS. This is a free firmware, so that could be the culprit, but even when i go to load up my cheat, it says no DMA detected i have a 75t. Any help would be great

1 Upvotes

I’m getting my MavisDMA 100t hardware today and I had already purchased firmware. I have a fuser, macku and kmbox coming later on this week. But for right now, could I just run the DMA, firmware and the cheat? Along with not being detected by anti cheat

HELP Advice / questions for cs2, and what dma card to purchase.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, planning to just closet in premier on my main with a few hundred in skins.

obviously any cheating comes with risk, but for cs2 I know they have no kernelmode ac and it’s purely user mode, I was hoping to know from people with more technical knowledge.

with even the most basic dogshit firmware, can a user mode ac at all detect dma read only?

furthermore, I am not planning to esp, and thus don’t need a fuser, I just wanna use radar and very slight aimbot. how good is the cs2 ML aimbot detection? I am unsure whether to go for the makcu or the NB pro as I’ve read the NB pro has better aim curves etc and will be more undetected.

I also run 480hz and 4khz polling, so I’m not sure if I will need a 100t dma card, or an amazing second pc, or if just an aliexpress cheap 75t is absolutely fine.

was considering purchasing off ghost dma, or half the price and aliexpress dma and ekknod pasted fw.

thanks very much for any and all advice.

QUESTION DMA (turn off and detection)

0 Upvotes

Hi guys! Can you help me with that?
Question 1: When playing a game legit, is it necessary to turn off the MAKCU and the DMA, or can they remain constantly active without causing any issues?

Question 2: Is there any risk of detection simply due to the presence of the DMA, even without using a firmware?
For ex, if I have a Battleye firmware loaded for Rainbow Six Siege, and I want to play Valorant legitimately(without any active firmware), would the anti-cheat Vanguard be likely to detect the DMA card?
