New Micomsoft Drivers - XCAPTURE-1 users read!

Since Advantech rolled out the July 2014 driver for the internal cards, nothing else has surfaced for the Micomsoft products. They promised a new driver at CEATEC but nothing else has been announced. This is probably because they are focusing all their resources on the XCAPTURE-Mini.

However, today I found a driver slightly newer than the Advantech (127 to 128 revision). You can download it here. Lumens just looks to be a reseller company for Yuan products and others.

What is different you ask? Ummm... well nothing that I can see. All the problems I have documented previously still exist (100% CPU for Windows 7, 0-255 and 16-235 being swapped, bad RGB color capture). I also can't see any other options that didn't exist in the Advantech driver. Feel free to try it yourself and comment. Maybe I missed something.

The main reason I am posting this is for you XCAPTURE-1 users. My earlier suspicions were correct in that the UB530 from Yuan uses the exact same chipset and drivers as this device (CY3014 is the identification code). These drivers are about 7 months newer than what Micomsoft has on its website. Driver link here. Let me know how they work out for you.

About Me

I'm just a guy from the UK that has a passion for video games and speedrunning (and of course capturing them). I originally started this blog because I wanted to share my knowledge and research I've gained over the years. Below is a brief history on my speedrunning and capture cards

I started speedrunning in mid 2006 with Resident Evil 4. Over the years I ran other games to world record level such as the Uncharted series, other Resident Evil titles, Heavy Rain and Clock Tower. I also enjoy glitch hunting video games. I was part of the team that found ways to skip 7 bosses in the original Metal Gear Solid game for PS1.

In early 2010, my first capture card was the Hauppauge HD PVR. Streaming with that device in 2010 was very difficult (basically screen region or nothing) so I moved onto the Blackmagic Intensity Pro in late 2010 since it was a DirectShow device. From then on I've added countless more capture cards to my collection from various companies such as AVerMedia, Blackmagic, Micomsoft, Dazzle and Elgato. I was also the first Western user to own and document the Micomsoft SC-512 capture card. It is now probably the most popular gaming capture card because of this.
