Fake fusers and clone DMA cards, and how to check yours

Why a second-hand DICHEN fuser can make your ESP wobble, which fuser we pick instead, and how to check a DMA card's real chip with MewTools first.

If your ESP wobbles through a fuser you bought second hand, a fake fuser is the first thing we'd look at. Cards get copied too, and some listings sell a smaller chip than they say, so check what you have before you spend money on firmware.

Fake DICHEN fusers

DICHEN fusers get faked, and the fakes mostly turn up second hand. Our team puts most of the wobbly ESP people report down to one of these fake units. How to tell a fake from a real one by looking at it is TBD, so if you bought yours second hand and the overlay wobbles, the fuser is the first thing to swap.

Rule out the setup first, since both computers should send the same resolution and the picture is smoothest when the refresh rate matches too. Set both computers the same shows how, and Tearing or artifacts has the fixes for broken lines.

The fuser we'd pick

Our pick is the GODLIKE 10th Gen Fuser (HDMI). It runs 1080p at 240Hz, 1440p at 144Hz and 4K at 60Hz, and the ones we sell come with three months of warranty. If your monitor needs more than that, Which one goes through the other two.

Clone and relabeled cards

Cheap clone DMA cards are out there, and a listing can say 75T or 100T on a card with a smaller chip. For our firmware the chip is what counts, because every build needs a 75T or a 100T and a 35T runs none of them. Our GODLIKE 100T comes to us directly from GODLIKE, with no clones.

Check a card's chip with MewTools

MewTools reads the chip size off the chip itself through the JTAG/flash port, so a sticker or a listing can't change what it shows. Do this before you buy firmware for a card from somewhere else.

MewTools' Card check after Read card. Under Your card, Chip size shows 75T, and the JTAG/flash port dot at the top is green

If the listing and MewTools disagree, trust MewTools. If Read card fails or the app doesn't know the chip, MewTools card errors has the fix, and Can you use our firmware on a DMA card you already own? has the rest.
