OpenRGB to RGB.NET msiusb

Compatibility layer for RGB.NET

This device provider uses OpenRGB's MysticLightUSBControllers implementation to control MysticLight USB controllers used in MSI's x570 and z490 motherboards

Keep in mind that this project uses OpenRGB directly. As OpenRGB, I will not be liable for any damage.

Solution

The solution has two projects

Hex3l.RGB.NET.Devices.Msiusb

RGB.NET DeviceProvider, it will take care of loading OpenRGB_MSI_USB.dll and communicate with it.

OpenRGB_MSI_USB

Minimal implementation of OpenRGB features required by this layer. It includes directly (or using git patches) the code/implementations made by OpenRGB

How to build and use

1. Clone the repo with its submodules.
2. Apply git patch in OpenRGB_MSI_USB/ORGB-patches to OpenRGB_MSI_USB/OpenRGB
3. Apply git patch in OpenRGB_MSI_USB/ORGB-min-api-dll-patches to OpenRGB_MSI_USB/OpenRGB-min-api-dll-base
4. Build Hex3l.RGB.NET.Devices.Msiusb(Release) (it will also build OpenRGB_MSI_USB)
5. Get the 2 dlls and place
   • Hex3l.RGB.NET.Devices.Msiusb.dll in your DeviceProvider folder (the folder you are using to store your DeviceProviders)
   • OpenRGB_MSI_USB.dll in
     • x86: <app root>/x86
     • x64: <app root>/x64
6. You will also need libusb-1.0.dll in your root app directory, you can get it from
   • x86:OpenRGB_MSI_USB/OpenRGB/dependencies/libusb-1.0.22/MS32/dll
   • x64:OpenRGB_MSI_USB/OpenRGB/dependencies/libusb-1.0.22/MS64/dll
