This application will not work with normal PS3 memory card drivers.
You need to install a driver (MemoryCard Adaptor with uusbd Driver (x64)) that is compatible with mca-coh.exe.
This driver is not signed, so you need to execute the following command from a command prompt (administrator) to install it.
bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON
After doing this, you will need to restart your computer by selecting "Recovery" in the settings and pressing the "Restart" button next to "Customize PC startup".
After restarting, the following window should appear: "Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> Startup Settings" and select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" to restart the computer again.

In this state, the driver installation can be performed for the first time.
After installing the driver, you will need to follow the above steps each time you perform a dongle backup.
Otherwise, mca-coh and this application will not work because the driver cannot be loaded.

After installing the driver and after completing the backup, open the command prompt (administrator) again and execute the following commands.
bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF

@XyLe-GBP, there is a signed libusbK driver which does work. I've got it to function with mca-coh-gui, but I had to disable the driver check entirely.

mca-coh-gui_snip

Here's the driver: USB Driver for PS3 Memory Card Adaptor.zip

Incidentally, the check is failing to detect that the device is connected at all, regardless of driver status, so adding the appropriate driver description ("PS3 MemoryCard Adaptor") doesn't help.

We do not assume that this application will work with libusbK, but we have tried it using the files provided and it works, so we will modify the next update to allow the use of libusbK.
Originally, we assumed that the following drivers would be used

However, this is a welcome discovery since this driver is not signed and is inconvenient to handle.

Try this signed driver, and the most recent release.

It's a driver. You should run it to install it.
