How a DMA Setup Works, Step by Step — Beginner's Guide

Before you buy anything, make sure you have: Two PCs — a main PC (Primary) that runs the game and a second PC (Secondary) that runs the DMA software, plus a free PCIe x1 slot on the main PC's motherboard.

Step 1: Choose the right components

DMA card — choose based on your budget

Captain DMA 75T (SAR 740) — the best place to start, high stability, compatible with most firmware
DMA 100T — for pros who want the highest performance
Heino 1.2 Elite (SAR 2,599) — a complete, ready-to-run solution

Firmware — choose based on your game

Play Valorant? → Dedicated Valorant Firmware
Play COD, Fortnite, or more than one game? → All-In-One Firmware
Want support for every anti-cheat system? → Slotted Firmware or All-In-One with IOMMU Bypass

Second PC (Secondary PC)

A Mini PC is the best choice — small, inexpensive, and takes up no space. Make sure it has at least a quad-core processor, a minimum of 8GB RAM, and Windows 10/11.

Step 2: Install the DMA card

Shut down the main PC and unplug it from power completely
Open the case and find a free PCIe x1 slot on the motherboard
Gently insert the DMA card into the slot until it seats
Secure the card with the screw at the back
Close the case and plug the power back in

Caution: Don't touch the card's metal parts with your bare hands — use a grounding strap or wear anti-static gloves.

Step 3: Connect the two PCs

Via USB (easiest): Connect a USB-C cable from the DMA card directly to the second PC.

Via LAN (for some devices, such as Heino 2.0): Connect a network cable between the two PCs, either through a switch or directly.

Step 4: Flash the firmware to the card

This is the most important step. The firmware determines how the game and the anti-cheat “see” the card.

Turn on the second PC and make sure it detects the card
Open the firmware software you bought from DMA Saudi
Select the card from the drop-down list
Click Flash and wait for it to finish (usually 2-5 minutes)
Restart the first PC once flashing is complete

Important: Don't turn off the PC while flashing the firmware — it could damage the card.

Step 5: Run the DMA software

Make sure the card shows up in Device Manager on the second PC
Install the required drivers (they come with the firmware)
Run the DMA software for your game
Check that the software is reading data correctly

Step 6: Calibrate the setup

Adjust mouse sensitivity if you're using a mouse emulator
Test stability on the first PC — make sure the game runs normally
Check the second PC's performance — it should run below 50% CPU usage

Common errors and fixes

The card doesn't show up on the second PC

Make sure the card is seated properly in the slot, try another PCIe slot, and check that the cable works.

The firmware won't flash

Temporarily disable antivirus software on the second PC, run the software as Administrator, and make sure you're using the right firmware for your card.

The game crashes after installation

Make sure the firmware is compatible with your game's anti-cheat, try reflashing the firmware, or contact the DMA Saudi team on WhatsApp for tech support.

Tips for the best performance

✅ Use high-quality cables between the two PCs
✅ Keep the second PC free of unnecessary software
✅ Update your firmware regularly to get the latest improvements
✅ Use NO HWID LAN for extra protection and privacy
