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)
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
(Optional, not recommended) LibusbK can be used as an alternative to USBDK.
- 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.
