is DMA still good?

Hi, i heard a lot of good and bad about dma recently.

Some people swear its very good
Some people say its not good anymore

people say you are better off just paying for externals

whats yall verdict on the situlation

I dont mind paying for DMA or private externals if i can find them, cost isnt a huge factor, I just want to find quality and good detection histories.

before you say it, i know either wont be 100% never ban, but whats better right now.

i brought a whole dma set up without reading much into into then brought one then ended up looking loads and from what i can see it’s quite hard to get ahold of firmware that will last you on EAC and it’s very expensive from what i what did find i just never ended up using it at all, its honestly just worth getting seeker if your looking for a very secure and limited options cheat for playing legit and lasting or whatever external is longest utd - and at the moment is proof with spoofers even you have an expensive dma with the best firmware u can still get banned from other factors

Depends of your use case, Rust not so much.

You can cheat on Rust using DMA with
  • VMD firmware around 80 euro
  • Heino 1.2 560$
  • Heino 2 ~5800$
  • HPTT (I think) 4,500$

But I would personally not drop above 1k usd on DMA these days.

Heino 1.2 might be good, might be trash.

I have no personal experience anymore in the DMA scene.

Heino 1.2 pretty much is just like using VMD but slightly better. It’s okay
But not amazing

With them doing TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot optional settings, don't get surprised if we see a optional setting for IOMMU too. If any firmware claims to get around IOMMU they are doing stuff that are as detectable as 1PC cheats (a small minority of motherboards can be exploited to get around it, dont rely on this)

From what I am hearing firmware is very hit and miss now too. You will eventually get manually banned or your firmware gets detected, after that you will need a spoofer that is 1PC or risk bricking hardware from permanently spoofing

Do the math yourself, what does a 1pc + account + spoofer cost vs a DMA setup you would like + cost of changing firmware, accounts + spoofing + effort. It is becoming more or less the same for DMA and 1pc

tldr, if iommu becomes a thing you'll have fw prices of 1+k, which is quite horrendous for dma, literally anything else is a better value. Hope that helps.

Externals 100% the better option now. No dealing with wires or firmware that is up for a week then down for 1 month and I’ve heard people generally get better results from a solid external.

The way its going, I rather take my chances on 1pc cheats and move on. The money it costs for everything at stake isn't worth it in my opinion. Even 1PC is getting way up there in costs. If you really value your accounts then dont even cheat. DMA is worth it in some areas and probably different games, but personally for games like this that really nail you to the wall, dont bother.
