Why flash the card
A card running factory firmware identifies itself by its stock IDs, and that’s the easiest way to catch it. Custom firmware swaps them for IDs that raise no questions.
DMA Card Firmware
Firmware changes how a DMA card looks to the system. Each one is matched to a specific card, and its description says which.
Card and anti-cheat
Firmware is picked for two things: the card it goes on and the anti-cheat your game uses. ACE/VGK/EAC Firmware covers ACE, Vanguard and EAC; EAC/BE Firmware covers EAC and BattlEye.
Why does a DMA card need custom firmware?
Stock firmware gives the card away through its factory IDs, which is the first thing an anti-cheat checks. Custom firmware changes how the card shows up to the system.
ACE/VGK/EAC Firmware or EAC/BE Firmware?
Go by your game’s anti-cheat. The first is for ACE, Vanguard and EAC, the second for EAC and BattlEye.
Does the firmware fit any card?
No, each firmware is matched to a specific card, named in its description. If you’re unsure, ask in Telegram or Discord before paying.
Can I use the firmware without a DMA card?
No. It gets flashed onto a DMA card and does nothing on its own.
