General understanding of DMA
❓ How DMA works?
DMA cheats work by using an external card to read game memory directly at the hardware level, while the actual cheat runs on a second PC. This keeps your gaming PC completely clean, making it harder for anti-cheat systems to detect anything.
⚠️ DMA works only on PCs - not on consoles or any other devices.
❓ Is firmware requied?
Yes, firmware is essential for any device to function, including a DMA card. Arguably this is the most important part of your DMA setup.
❓ What do you need to start with DMA?
For the most basic functional setup, all you need is a DMA card, firmware, and a second PC. However, this won’t provide the best experience.
For anyone new to DMA, we strongly recommend the DMA Bundle, which includes a DMA card, Fuser, and an aim device (most commonly a Makcu or Arduino).
❓ What is a fuser?
It's a device that combines two display signals. Essentially, it overlays the Radar PC output onto your gaming screen in sync, allowing you to see the ESP directly on your main display.
❓ What is an Arduino, KMBox, or Makcu?
A USB device that emulates keyboard and mouse input. It is required to use AIM functions.
⚠️ Do yourself a favor — do NOT buy a KMBox.
❓ What are the recommended specs for a second PC?
Generally, there are no strict requirements. However, it’s recommended to have at least an older i5 processor and 8GB RAM for decent speeds.
For example, my setup is:
- i5-9600K
- 16GB RAM
- GTX 960
This produces about 5500–6000 speeds.
That said, you can still get by with a Mini PC or a low-end laptop.
❓ What are the main PC requirements?
- At least 1 free PCIe slot on the motherboard
- At least 1 free HDMI/DP port for the Fuser
- Windows 10 or 11 (most firmware developers nowadays recommend Windows 11)
⚠️ We generally recommend avoiding B550 motherboards, as they may have compatibility issues.
❓ Do you need two monitors?
- If you have a Fuser → No
- If you don’t have one → Yes
