Windows
Download and install the GIMX setup file
- 32-bit setup, for 32-bit Windows only
- 64-bit setup, for 64-bit Windows only
The setup file includes the following installers:
- CP210x driver - required when using a CP2102 USB to UART adapter
- USBDK driver - required when using a console that needs controller authentication
USBDK may cause instability on some systems, therefore it is advised to create a system restore point before installing it.
LibusbK can be used as an alternative. Follow these instructions to use it:
- Rename the libusb-1.0.dll file from the C:\Program Files\GIMX folder to libusb-1.0.dll.bk.
- Download this libusb package: link.
- Open it (with 7zip for example) and extract the libusb-1.0.dll file from the /mingw64/bin/ folder to the C:\Program Files\GIMX folder.
- Install the libusbk driver as explained below.
Note: the libusb-1.0.dll file will be replaced after updating GIMX. Perform the above steps again to keep using libusbK.
Install the libusbk driver
For consoles that require authentication, the stock controller driver has to be replaced with the libusbk driver.
Since GIMX 4.0 this is only required for the Xbox One.
This can easily be done using Zadig:
- choose "Options->List All Devices"
- select the right device:
| Console | Device name | USB ID |
| Xbox 360 | "Controller" | 045E:028E |
| PS4 | "Wireless Controller" | 054C:05C4 |
| Xbox One | "Controller" | 045E:02D1 |
- select "libusbK" as target driver
- click on the drop down menu, and select "Install Driver"
- click on "Replace Driver"
Ubuntu
Add "universe" to your software sources
- Start Ubuntu Software Center.
- Click Edit>Software Sources.
- Select "Community-maintained Open Source software (universe)", and close.
Refresh software sources
If you are running from a Live CD or a Live USB, you have to manually refresh software sources:
- Click on the Ubuntu desk.
- In the search area, type "terminal" with no quotes, and hit enter.
- In the terminal, type "sudo apt-get update" with no quotes, and hit enter.
