DMA Card 100T Guide
This guide shows how to set up a 100T DMA card and fix the most common connection / speed issues.

Recommended Hardware
- Recommended USB cable — Purchase USB Cable
- Need more space in the case? — Purchase PCIe Extender
- No second PC? We recommend a Mini PC
- Recommended OS — Windows 10 or Windows 11
DMA Card Installation
- Download and keep the DMA Cheats folder on your Second PC.
- Only move the files to the Main PC that the instructions specifically say must run there.
- Do not download or run DMA cheats on the Main PC.
1) Make sure the physical switch on the DMA card is set to ON.
2) Power off the Main PC and install the DMA card into a PCIe slot (x1 / x4 / x16).
3) Plug the USB 3 cable into the DATA port on the DMA card.
4) Plug the other end into a USB 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.2 port on your Second PC.
5) Turn on both the Main PC and the Second PC.
6) On the Second PC, open:
DMA Cheats\1. DMA Card\100T\1. Driver and run FTD3XXDriver.exe.
7) After installation, you should see the confirmation window.
DMA Speed Test
8) On the Second PC, go to:
DMA Cheats\1. DMA Card\100T\3. DMA test and run lone-dma-test.exe.
Select 1) Full Test.
- < 60 MB/s — low speed. Try a better USB cable, a different USB 3 port, or another PCIe slot.
- ≥ 100 MB/s — good speed
- ≥ 150 MB/s — great speed
If your DMA card doesn’t have firmware yet, you can
buy it and install it using our guide.
Video Manual
Second PC doesn’t detect the DMA card
- Make sure the DMA card is powered ON (if your model has a switch).
- Try a different PCIe slot (if available).
- Disconnect other PCIe devices (except the GPU) and test again.
- Disable Intel VT-d (or AMD IOMMU) in BIOS.
- Try a different USB 3 cable and a different USB 3 port.
- In BIOS → Advanced / PCIe settings, switch PCIe to Gen1 or Gen2.
- If nothing helps, test with another Second PC (or reinstall Windows on the Second PC).
DMA Speed test failed
If the device appears in Device Manager but the test won’t run, this video usually fixes it:
Low DMA speed test result
- Try a different PCIe slot.
- Use a better USB 3 cable and try another USB 3 port.
- Make sure the Second PC is strong enough (CPU not older than ~7 years, and 12GB+ RAM).
- If the above doesn’t help, it may be firmware-related — ask the developer to replace it.
After installing firmware
- If speed test stops working after flashing firmware, do a cold boot:
- Turn off the Main PC and cut power (switch off PSU or unplug the power cable).
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Reconnect the USB cable to the DATA port, restore power, and boot Main PC.
- Run the DMA speed test again on the Second PC.
