Cypros Firmware tiers

There are 3 different firmwares offered by Cypros

V1 - basic firmware, emulating a device without TLP

V2 - more advanced firmware, with TLP emulation

V3 - the most advanced firmware, with full driver support as well as as much TLP emulation as possible. Also completely 1:1 in terms of the device that has been cloned

V3 Firmware

V3 Firmware is the highest tier of firmware. This firmware is a 1:1 clone of a real PCIe device with full TLP emulation and driver support. The firmware has some of the highest speeds in the DMA market, as well as the device emulation appearing to be a legit PCIe device.

This firmware is as 1:1 as possible, meaning that if it does get sigged by the anti cheat, no bans occur.

Anti cheats are now detecting more basic firmwares, however it is extremely hard to detect firmware like Cypros V3, as when the anti cheat queries the device, there is real TLP responses that are returned.

V3 has actually ran tests by simulating a real anti cheat query and response. The response has been fine tuned to be an exact clone of the real device.

V2 Firmware

V2 firmware also emulates a real device with driver support

However, the TLP responses of V2 firmware have not been finetuned to the quality of that of Cypros V3

The TLP responses that V2 firmware returns does not cover the range that Cypros V3 firmware does

This firmware is very viable on most anti cheats, and is better than most firmware on the market, however the emulation has not been fleshed out like Cypros V3

Another difference with V2 firmware is the driver support.

With V3 firmware, a driver has been deconstructed to emulate as much of the real device as possible

With V2 firmware, this is still the case, however, in some cases the driver responses are different, as the emulated TLP responses are different.

V1 Firmware

V1 firmware is offered to those who want more affordable firmware which is also higher quality than other firmware providers, however incomparable to Cypros V3 and V2

With most firmware providers, this tier of firmware is absolutely horrendous, however Cypros has made sure to maintain the high quality of its higher tier firmwares with Cypros V1

Cypros V1 lacks driver support as well as TLP emulation, however it evades the anti cheat

The way this is possible is by using the driver in a different way. With our other firmwares, real driver compatibility is ensured.

With V1 firmware, the evasion of the anti cheat occurs by cloning unconventionally, or by using hardware that is similar to the actual DMA device

This method is employed by cloning devices that have a similar hardware composition to that of the DMA card.

By employing this technique, anti cheats have a hard time deciphering V1 firmware as a legitimate or illegitimate device, as the hardware composition that the firmware emulates is actually that of a real PCIe device
