Quadstick bugging out randomly

[Forrest Phillips]

I'm using quadstick On a Dell laptop. It has always worked fairly consistently, but recently I have had an issue where every few minutes or so, if I try to do any switch input, it will kind of glitch out or just stop responding a couple seconds. I think I notice what appears to be a light may be coming from inside when it happens sometimes, but I might just be seeing things.I did just start using a new laptop, so that could be the problem? I'm really not sure. Either way, does anyone know how to maybe troubleshoot this?

Try disabling USB Selective Suspend:  http://quadstick.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/user_manual/um/windows_10.htm

Let us know if this fixes the problem, or not.

I followed the instructions and turned it off on 2 USB Root hubs. Doesn't seem to have fixed it. Still getting little pauses in the output.

Try running a mouse profile with the flash drive turned off:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Oqv20msON79a9srqaEK_Bq4XAGKjzVF9uMcA8b6if0o/edit#gid=19

Run the latest firmware:  2365

Okay, so I am just adding this sheet to the Google sheets document?

It says not to do this Unless I know exactly what I'm doing, and I don't know exactly what I'm doing.

And how do I do this? "Run the latest firmware:  2365"

[Forrest Phillips]

I'm reading over the documentation now.

[Fred Davison]

Just make sure to leave your default.csv and prefs.csv alone.  Select the file that turns off flash drive after power up.

I updated the firmware and read over the documentation for USB emulation modes.I just want to make sure I don't damage the quadstick. What do I need to avoid doing which could prevent me from changing the settings? Is it okay to just add that preferences sheet as is into my default configuration file?

[Forrest Phillips]

Okay, so I can't make it the default?

I was hoping to set it to be the default because currently I use the quadstick on 2 different computers and I switch back and forth using a press button switch that switches which computer I control quadstick with. It would be a bit of a hassle to have to change  back to the configuration file every time I switch computers. Is there any way I can use this emulation mode on the default?

[Fred Davison]

Before you do anything, back up the CSV files from your Quadstick to a folder on your computer.  That way, if things go south, you'll be able to restore it quickly.

Make sure running in mode 6 fixes the problem, then, using Windows file manager, you can make a copy of your current default.csv, name it zdefault.csv, and then rename.the no-flash.csv file to default.csv.

You will need to switch to zdefault.csv to use QMP to manage files.
