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 (Xbox One only)
It is required to replace the stock controller driver with the libusbk driver.
This prevents Windows from making any request to the controller.
This can easily be done using Zadig:
- choose "Options->List All Devices"
- select the right device:
| Console | Device name | USB ID |
| Xbox One | "Controller" | 045E:02D1 |
- select "libusbK" as target driver
- click on the drop down menu, and select "Install Driver"
- click on "Replace Driver"
Disable power saving (PS4 only)
This is required to prevent Windows from turning off the Dualshock 4.
Go to the Device Manager > Right click on the USB HUB > Properties > Power management > Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
