MagicAAP (Community) driver⚓︎

Warning

Requires MagicPods version 2.0.72.0 and above. Please don’t forget to create a system restore point.

The MagicAAP (Community) driver is the same version as MagicAAP (Official), but it was signed using a workaround by a member of our community.

As a downside, Windows Defender may flag the driver as potentially unwanted software, and some game anti-cheat systems might detect it.
