Windows
Download and install the GIMX setup file:
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 requires controller authentication
For consoles that require authentication, the stock controller driver has to be replaced with the libusbk driver.
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 |

- click on the drop down menu, and select "Install Driver"
- click on "Replace Driver"
