How do I setup my 2nd/Cheat PC for DMA cheating?
Step-by-step guide to setup your second PC for DMA cheating. Install drivers, configure USB connections, and get started.
Requirements
Before starting, make sure you have:
- A second PC (can be low-spec, even an old laptop works)
- Your DMA card properly installed in the gaming PC's PCIe slot
- USB 3.0 cable for connection between DMA card and cheat PC
- Windows 10/11 (64-bit) on your cheat PC
- Visual C++ Redistributables installed
Step 1: Install Prerequisites
Download and install Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (both x64 and x86 versions) from Microsoft's official website. Also install .NET Framework 4.8 if not already present.
Step 2: Install FTDI Drivers
The DMA card communicates via FTDI USB. Download the latest FTDI VCP drivers from ftdichip.com and install them. Reboot your cheat PC after installation.
Step 3: Connect the Hardware
Connect your cheat PC to the DMA card using a high-quality USB 3.0 cable. Avoid using USB hubs - connect directly to a motherboard USB port for best stability.
Step 4: Verify Connection
Open Device Manager on your cheat PC and look for the FTDI device under 'Universal Serial Bus controllers'. If you see a yellow warning icon, reinstall the FTDI drivers.
Step 5: Install MemProcFS
Download MemProcFS from the official repository. Extract to a folder like C:\DMA. This is the core framework that reads memory from your gaming PC.
Step 6: Test the Connection
Open Command Prompt as Administrator, navigate to your MemProcFS folder, and run: memprocfs.exe -device fpga. If successful, you'll see memory being read.
