1. Short description.
|
|
This driver/program is intended to "overclock" USB mice (or
|
|
other devices) under Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista,
|
|
7, 8, 8.1, 10 including x64 versions.
|
|
Also may be used for downclocking (and downclocking shall work always).
|
|
|
|
!!! Warning - overclocking may not work for Low Speed USB devices which
|
|
controlled by non Microsoft USB stack, like OEM USB 3.x drivers
|
|
at Windows 7 or with the newest Microsoft drivers.
|
|
|
|
!!! Warning 2 - you SHALL disable Secure Boot or modify the Registry
|
|
accordingly to enable loading of Microsoft unsigned drivers to load
|
|
HIDUSBF driver successfully under Windows 10 x64 version 1607
|
|
(Anniversary Update) or newer versions.
|
|
|
|
Program changes rate on selected devices only, not touching other devices
|
|
on USB.
|
|
|
|
You can learn more about theory and the program here:
|
|
http://www.overclockers.ru/lab/15925/Razgon_USB_myshi_ili_Software_nanosit_otvetnyj_udar.html
|
|
(in Russian language(\*))
|
|
|
|
I have personally tested it under Windows 98SE, 2000 SP2/SP4,
|
|
XP RTM/SP1/SP2/SP3, XP x64 SP2, 2003 x86 SP2, Vista 32 bit RTM/SP2,
|
|
Vista 64 bit RTM, 7 x86 SP1, 7 x64 SP1, 8 x64, 8.1 x64,
|
|
10 x64 1803, 1809, 1909, 20H2, 21H1.
|
|
The first testing on x64 platform was performed by Dark_Cloud under
|
|
Windows XP x64 SP1.
|
|
|
|
2. Installation.
|
|
1. Downclocking (all devices and drivers) or overclocking of Full Speed USB
|
|
devices is possible always and there is no need to patch system code.
|
|
|
|
So, if you use program for this purpose - take drivers
|
|
from directories DRIVER\NTX86\NOPATCH\ and DRIVER\AMD64\NOPATCH\
|
|
and replace drivers from directories DRIVER\NTX86\ and DRIVER\AMD64\
|
|
|
|
Because Windows 2000 doesn't have restrictions for overclocking Low Speed USB
|
|
devices in driver code for OHCI and UHCI controllers you can use the driver
|
|
from DRIVER\NTX86\NOPATCH\. Windows 98 and ME also don't have such
|
|
restrictions, so there is no patch version of driver for these OSes at all.
|
|
|
|
If you use your device with pure EHCI controller (without companion
|
|
UHCI or OHCI controllers and with integrated USB2.0 Hub) or with any
|
|
EHCI controller through USB2.0 Hub on Windows 2000 then just use
|
|
ordinary version of driver (with patch).
|
|
And there is special unofficial version of USBPORT.SYS for Windows 98 and ME
|
|
without any restrictions of polling rate for such cases.
|
|
|
|
2. For OSes begining from Windows XP for successful overclocking of
|
|
Low Speed USB devices is REQUIRED the presence original (not altered
|
|
by other programs) version of system driver USBPORT.SYS
|
|
(%sytemroot%\system32\drivers\usbport.sys).
|
|
Windows 8 beginning also works with USBXHCI.SYS
|
|
(%sytemroot%\system32\drivers\usbxhci.sys).
|
|
And under Windows 7 is supported Intel xHCI driver (IUSB3XHC.SYS)
|
|
(see additions in HIDUSBFN.ZIP)
|
|
|
|
3. Install my driver HIDUSBF.SYS. For this purpose execute SETUP.EXE (there
|
|
should also be .INF and .SYS files UNZIPPED). Click [Install Service].
|
|
|
|
In case of HIDUSBF service wasn't installed through
|
|
SETUP.EXE (button [Install Service]) you may try to do this by OS
|
|
standard possibility:
|
|
mouse right button click on HIDUSBF.INF -> Install
|
|
It is enough to install the service once for each OS instance.
|
|
|
|
Then choose the row with your device and put a checkmark Filter On Device.
|
|
Check that in the column Filter? it says Yes. After that choose desired refresh
|
|
rate. After that push [Restart]. Check if the refresh rate has really
|
|
changed (for example with the program Mouse Rate Checker).
|
|
|
|
If your rate did not change, then you should either reboot, plug-out
|
|
and plug-in mouse cable or stop and then start your mouse in
|
|
Device Manager.
|
|
|
|
If the rate does not increase more than 125Hz, then you should
|
|
try DECREASE it to 31Hz or 62Hz.
|
|
If the rate does decrease, then the driver functions properly, however
|
|
or you mouse is not overclockable; or USBPORT.SYS/USBXHCI.SYS was altered
|
|
or simply too new and so unknown to the program.
|
|
|
|
3. Uninstall.
|
|
1. Unlink driver from mouse through SETUP.EXE (Filter = Unchecked)
|
|
1. For removing a service and file of driver:
|
|
mouse right button click on HIDUSBFU.INF -> Install
|
|
1. If you have delete a driver but not unlink it from mouse
|
|
then the mouse will stop working. To make mouse working you
|
|
can just delete device, corresponding to mouse in Device Manager,
|
|
then scan for new devices. Or use
|
|
SETUP.EXE -> [All] or [with Problem] or [with HIDUSBF] Devices ->
|
|
[Filter On Device] is Unchecked -> [Restart]
|

1. Now Setup can install driver for Composite USB device
|
|
|
|
- use checkbox "Process Parent". Note, there is overclocked
|
|
all functional devices from composite device, not the mouse only.
|
|
For this feature functioning recompiled old drivers for Win 98&ME, 2000.
|
|
|
|
2. I was surprised to learn that some people use driver to change rate of
|
|
Full Speed USB mice. So, nonpatching version of x64 driver returned to package
|
|
and such kind of using described in Installation section.

1. Driver was enhanced - for its installation under XP is NOT
|
|
required to install corrected USBPORT.SYS. However, if there is observed
|
|
some anomalies - you may go back to old working sequence
|
|
(corrected USBPORT.SYS + driver in the folder DRIVER\STD).
|
|
Thank Alan 'Strider' Kivlin for the idea of patching the code
|
|
of USBPORT.SYS on the fly.
|
|
Thank Root for valuable link for implementation.
|
|
The same development for Windows XP x64 is still not done - there is a
|
|
difficulties with testing.
