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 needs controller authentication
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"
