Hey all, I'm trying to install the drivers for my EMS USB cartridge. I've disabled driver signature enforcement, I have the drivers in a folder and I'm pointing the driver updater to that folder, but it says "Windows could not find driver software for your device." I just don't know why this isn't working as i can't see anything that I'm doing wrong. I'd appreciate your help.

I'm running Windows 10 64-bit.

I had the same problem on Windows 8 64-bit, but I ended up just using another PC with Win7

Hmm okay... when my usb mini to micro cable arrives i'm just gonna use the android app so this isn't that important but it would be nice to have working.

that's actually a good idea. I have an S6, never thought of doing that.

Would it work through a virtual machine?

Probably, I just couldn't be bothered setting it up
Like... what I'm doing -should- work, but I guess that's not how it is with these carts

I put up a quick tut for 8.1 and 10, this only temporarily disables driver signature enforcement, so you'd need to do this any time you wanted to link up. you can disable them permanently and run your PC in test mode, but this isn't entirely recommended. http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/17108 … indows-10/ I'm usually only doing this when patching samples, other times I'm using the EMS link on Android.

You can skip the official driver and try the command line tool if you want. There is an exe file posted in the thread if you dont want to build it yourself:

are you guys going through device manager on the control panel, or is that not in windows 8 and 10?

Yours is the tutorial I followed!

You can open cmd as an admin and try this:

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

and then try and install the drivers

EDIT: There is also this guy to sign the drivers.

Which you can follow this guide:

I just tried both of these methods, nothing.

It's not a signature issue, it just isn't even recognising that the drivers are there.

I've had similar problems when using a usb 3 port. Switching to a usb 2 port fixed it for me. I guess you could also try to disable usb 3 in bios.

I'm having problems with this, too. I made the switch to Windows 10 last night and have been regretting it because of this stupid problem. When I first got Windows 8 it gave me similar problems then magically started recognizing the USB cart. I've tried disabling the driver signature enforcement through the settings->reboot process that DropMontage mentioned - the same way I did it in Windows 8 - but it didn't make any difference. Gonna check out that Android app.

The android app is great! allowing you to dump saves and transfer, taking your handled experience on the go even more so. I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble with the pc, again I rarely do these operations, mainly only when I patch kits on  a new lsdj udpdate
