VKB Gunfighter Mk.II Quick
Guide - SOFTWARE

Flash

your Gunfighter’s BlackBox firmware

(

flashing is only needed when installing a new grip, or a

new firmware release is available for your Gunfighter)

1. Launch VKBdevCfg-C.
2. In the top panel, click on the "VKBsim Gunfighter..." name to select it.
3. From the Tools tab, click on the "Bootloader" icon; this should close VKBdevCfg and automatically start

ZBootloader (if you have it in the same folder).

4. Point ZBootloader to the extracted *.vkb file and update the firmware of your BlackBox by clicking "Flash

It".

5. The device will restart with the new firmware installed.

Note

: It is highly recommended to right-click on the VKBdevCfg app and select ‘

Run

Administrator’

Note

: If ZBootloader says "Device is not ready", please check whether VKBdevCfg is still running and close

it accordingly. Additionally, you might see this error message when some 3rd party software (e.g., Logitech

Razor or whatever else) has grabbed the joystick and established control over it. Ensure that all 3rd party

software of this kind is temporarily disabled while you're updating the firmware.
