Quick & Easy DMA Buying Guide

OldManGamer75 · 11/09/2025, 04:58

Will a captainDMA DisplayPort Mini Fuser v2 run at 3440 x1440 at 144hz? My monitor is a 165hz 34” ultrawide. The fuser says it’s capable of 2k@144hz.

Is Fella’s firmware okay for ACE/EAC/BE?

I just ordered a CaptainDMA 75T 6th Gen DMA card and the fuser I mentioned above, earlier today. When it gets here in a few days, I plan on getting the Fellas firmware and also their DMA cheat for Arena Breakout, and Arc Raiders.

I also bought a GMKtec Gaming Mini PC K8 Plus today which delivers tomorrow for my 2nd PC.

I spent a week agonizing over what to order, I didn’t see this post until just now. I hope the hardware is going to be OK but I haven’t made any firmware purchase yet, but I have made plans.

It doesn’t look like Cyber-Basic covers easy anti-cheat and the Fella firmware is advertised as okay for EAC.

~~The fuser will work, but not at your current resolution. You’ll need to downscale it.~~

Edit: I'm wrong, it will work. I was thinking of their earlier version.

I’m not familiar with “Fella.” If that was a typo and you meant “Stella,” they don’t sell cheats, only firmware.

These guys in the link below. They offer firmware and also some DMA cheats, and specifically for two of the games that I play currently, ABI & Arc Raiders. Their firmware is only $100 for the basic edition or $150 for the upgraded. Looks like Stella costs €280 to €680! I just spent quite a bit on the hardware and mini PC so I don’t really wanna drop another $500 in firmware and then also pay for cheats as well so f it isn’t necessary.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable in the DMA scene as I'm just getting into it myself, but from what I can tell Fellas is reselling rie.one/dma for their DMA cheats, I would assume their firmware isn't anything special or in house either

I looked into them, they’re resellers, so their firmware is likely low quality. In my experience, most resellers sell pasted firmware. EAC (Arc Raiders) has been blocking lower quality firmware, so don’t be surprised if that happens and you end up needing to buy new firmware. If you do decide to buy from them, make sure you get at least a few months of warranty and pay with a card, not crypto, so if they don't honor the warranty, you can charge it back.

Wow EAC has been stepping up their game. I remember when it was inversed and EAC was worse than BE back in the day.

EAC capable firmware carries a premium. Do you still recommend Stella? They just released basic firmware today but some say Stella is overkill

Stella Basic doesn’t support EAC, so you’d need to upgrade. They recently started offering the Basic package as a cheaper option for people cheating in anti-cheats that don’t target DMA, like Ricochet, BattlEye, or Javelin.

Their EAC firmware, though, is one of the best available. Most of the other high-end options are private and require a large deposit just to get access.

Nearly all public EAC sellers are getting hit with weekly blocks from the newer EAC builds that use IOMMU-style blocks (in games like Fortnite and Rust), but Stella has gone several months without any problems.

So yes, if you’re playing titles that use the newer EAC versions, Stella is definitely one of the safest picks right now.

is it actually worth going the dma route anymore?

It definitely is.

Take Battlefield 6, for example. Every internal and external has been detected, yet DMA users are still playing without issues.

Curious of your thoughts on Rie FW and cheats?

Are they even still selling firmware? Last I saw, they got caught pasting open-source firmware. As for their cheats, I’d rate them as just "decent." They’re great for the price, but I’d personally go with other options unless I was on a budget.

I'm currently utilizing Rie FW and have had no issues with games like arc/bf6 but unsure of what the rep was lol.

Battlefield 6 doesn’t have DMA checks at the moment, so any basic or free firmware will work. For Arc Raiders, a few providers have reported issues, but I’ve seen fewer than a dozen user complaints overall. If it’s working for you now, stick with it until you get a reason to switch.

Awesome, thanks man. Appreciate the help and advice

This post is great! I have a question: is there a big difference between a 35TB and a 75TB graphics card? I want to use DMA to play Call of Duty Warzone and maybe BF6.

I saw you mentioned the Ekknod firmware; does it work well for the games I mentioned? Or is it better for me to find a paid version?
