WARNING: Epic Games, Inc. has informed Blue Ridge Electronics, LLC that the Cronus Zen, CronusMAX, and Strike Pack devices are prohibited from being used in Fortnite and Rocket League. All Fortnite and Rocket League users must refrain from using such restricted devices with Fortnite and Rocket League, and any players found using these devices or attempting to bypass these restrictions will be permanently banned from Fortnite and Rocket League.
Whilst Sony rolled out the change without explicitly acknowledging the change, Cronus Zen users soon noticed their devices were being disconnected following the PS5 update earlier this week, prompting Cronus to issue a statement to players affected by the change.
The developer behind Cronus Zen describes the device as one that allows players to connect "any supported controller, mouse, keyboard or racing wheel, to any major gaming console platform", offering an advanced scripting engine "that allows you to run powerful macros".
"We're aware of an issue with Zen and the PS5," the team said. "As of Jan 24, the console is prompting everyone to update to Version: 24.01-08.60.00, and if you do, Zen will no longer connect to the PS5 without disconnecting.
Consequently, Cronus suggests players who do use the advice avoid applying the update until a fix has been found, or use its "remote play workaround". It says it'll keep updating the statement as and when it has more information.
The Cronus Max/Titan One device is a powerful system allowing different controllers to be used on a range of game consoles. The ULTRA method focusses on the facility to use Windows PC attached controls and sync them to play on an Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 or PS4.
1. Copy the ULTRA software to your computer if this is the first time of use. If you have the ULTRA memory stick, simply copy the entire contents to an easy to find location. Otherwise you will need the WinRAR utility before you can successfully download the "ULTRA.rar" file and extract the contents.
2. Connect your controller to your PC. You can use a mouse and/or keyboard with MaxAim, but to work with JoyToKey the controller must be recognised by the PC as a joystick. This is the case with a C-SID, One Hand Controller and Xbox 360 wired joypad. You can use up to 16 joystick type devices. Imagine that...
3. Start JoyToKey. Included in the JoyToKey folder is a basic version suitable for standard Xbox 360 and PS2 style Dual Shock controllers. There is also a two-button set-up for access to consoles using just two switches. A prototype can be seen in this two-switch PS3 video.
4. Test that your joystick is correctly set-up. Pressing buttons should turn their on-screen representations yellow within the Joystick 1 window pane (see below). Click on the profile of your choice (such as "PC Mode") to enter that control mode. See the JoyToKey instructions if you wish to learn more about creating your own custom set-ups.
6. Download Gtuner from www.consoletuner.com if this is your first time of use. You may need to turn off malware/phishing detection in your browser settings temporarily which I'm assured is okay to do. Search for Gtuner, start it, and update the Firmware via the Tools option. Finally, click-on then install the MaxAim app via the Plugins > Plugin Manger option.
7. Start MaxAim via its own short-cut, or via the Gtuner Plugins menu (or press ALT+F3). Delete any existing profiles you don't want, through the menu system. You may need to unlock them first (CTRL+L). Next import the four .glf profiles found in: 2 CRONUS DEVICE > PROFILES > MAX AIM layouts. Within MaxAim, select the console profile you want, such as the PS3 set-up below:
8. Authentication: Unless using a Playstation 3, you will need to connect an associated wired controller device to the INPUT socket of the Cronus Max/Titan One. For Xbox One and PS4 it needs to be via a Micro USB charging cable linked to the standard controller. For Xbox 360 it needs to be a wired Xbox 360 joypad or suitable adapter.
9. Turn your console on via the power button. Link your console to the Cronus Max/Titan One using the long USB extension lead. The LED display should turn into three horizontal bars after a few seconds if all is correct. N.B. Ensure that no other controllers are paired or plugged into your console until you are fully set-up.
10. Test then Play! You can click on the Bullseye/MaxAim on-screen buttons to test if they are working. When ready, click on "Enter Capture Mode". Try using your mouse, keyboard and/or joypad as the controller. "6" should activate the menu system. Activate CTRL+ESCAPE to quit.
A. I can navigate the console menus, but can't play games: For one-player games, your controller must be recognised as Player One. This is easiest with a PS3 as you can change the device settings from the menu screen. For others, you may need to turn off your console and repeat steps 9 and 10.
B. JoyToKey doesn't recognise my PC controller: Within JoyToKey go to Settings > Configure Joysticks > 2. Advanced setting for each device > [then highlight your device from the drop-down list that says "(Connected)" then set as "Joystick 1". Test the thumb-sticks/analogue sticks and you should get an on-screen response. If no good, try disconnecting then reconnecting your joystick or try a different USB port then repat step B. For C-SIDs and other Xbox 360 compatible controllers, you may need to download and install the Microsoft Xbox 360 PC Controller driver for things to work correctly.
C. JoyToKey is misbehaving. Check the settings reached via the "Preferences" option. Ensure that only "Highlighted buttons which are pressed" and "Minimize (instead of exit)" are ticked. Wnsure that the processing speed is set to "x8". Test your controls are correctly triggering key strokes within in a Notepad or Word document.
D. The Cronus/Titan device doesn't link up (at stage 9). Exit "Capture Mode" if relevent then try restarting the software and/or using a different USB port on your PC. If you still can't get the three horizontal lines to appear, try updating the firmware, resetting the device or using the older Bullseye software (PS3 and Xbox 360 only).
E. I can't get past the A/U flashing display: This is the authentication stage where your Xbox 360, Xbox One or PS4 is looking for a genuine wired controller belonging to that console. Try a different device if you can, or a different charging cable.
F. How do I reset my Cronus Device? Whilst connected, try pressing the tiny reset button (insert a tooth-pick or paper-clip) accessed via a hole in the back of the device. Give one short press, or two quick-presses with the aim of seeing a "P" appear on the LED display. You will then need to programme/re-flash the device.
On your PC, start the "2 Reset Cronus Device" application (this starts Gtuner v2.17 which allows you to load in old firmware manually). You'll need to flash your device twice with the firmware file "1.50 gfw". You can reach this via the Tools Option, then navigating to the "FIRMWARE" folder.
G. How can I use Bullseye instead of MaxAim?: If you are unable to get on-line you can use the "Bullseye v2.62" software instead (double-click on "3 Setup OFF-LINE Gtuner (BASIC)" within your ULTRA software folder). Find the Bullseye link/app in your programs folder and start it. You will need to import the PS3 and or Xbox 360 profiles (see step 7 above). This will work on all four consoles although you may need to reset the device as described in step F.
Hello, Mgs2master2 here and I am bringing you a neat little device I had the opportunity to use. This device is known as the CronusMAX PLUS. It is an upgraded version of the previous versions (which makes this the newest version of the device).
This small and sleek device is a wonderful adapter for several devices. According to the CronusMAX PLUS website, it works with the PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, Playstation TV, and Android devices. However, with my hands on time with the CronusMAX PLUS, I found out it works with other devices too. I had a successful test using the ChronusMAX Plus on my Macbook Air. I found this really handy. I will experiment more to see what else I can use it on.
In all three of these videos, I utilized the Xbox One controller with my PS4. I assumed that would have some sort of lag as I hooked this up and played. However, there was ZERO lag. It was smooth as if I used a PS4 controller.
