Before Installation
Disable power saving for USB devices
This is required to prevent Windows from turning off the controller or the USB to UART adapter.
- Open the Device Manager.
- Right click on the USB HUB (make sure to select the right one) > Properties > Power management > Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
- Right click on the COM port > Properties > Power management > Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
System Preparation
- Install all Windows updates (otherwise USBDK may fail to work properly, resulting in GIMX failures)
- Create a system restore point, in case something goes wrong (USBDK was known to create instability on some systems)
GIMX Installation
After making sure you've filled requirements you can proceed to installing GIMX software itself.
- 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
