Setting up Cronus Zen on PC with Quadstick

[Glenn Manning]

Hi all,

 

I thought I would post how I have setup the Cronus Zen on PC with the Quadstick and UltraStik 360.  I have everything connected through a simple USB KVM Switch an IOGEAR GUS402 https://www.iogear.com/product/GUS402/ which has an external selector enabling me to have everything connected all the time and select between PC control or Zen use.  I built up the height of the selector switch so it is easier to press.

 

Firmware Versions

·         QS - 2328

·         Zen - 2.0.11

 

Quadstick Settings Enabled under Misc tab

·         Enable select file with side tube

·         Enable CronusMax PCPROG

·         Enable Circular Dead Zone

·         Enable file management over serial port

·         Enable USB-A Host mode

 

Quadstick Game File Preferences settings

enable_DS3_emulation

3

0=Normal composite device mode, 1=Dual Shock 3 emulation, 2=X360CE mode, 3=XBox 360 emulation

Zen Settings under Device tab in Zen Studio Version 1.0.10

·         Open Device Monitor With Build And Run

·         Unload Script When Closing Device Monitor

·         Open Gamepack Configuration After Drag And Drop

·         Enable Autosave In Compiler

·         Emulator Output Protocol: XBOX 360

·         Remote Slot Change: XBOX + BACK

 

Zen Cable Configuration

·         Short micro-USB cable plugged into the BACK Console port of Zen other end into the PC

·         Long mini-USB cable plugged into the SIDE PROG port of Zen other end into the PC

 

IOGEAR GUS402 USB Switch Cable Configuration

·         USB 1 connected direct to the PC

·         USB 2 connected to the A2 port (right side) of the Cronus Zen

 

Quadstick Cable Configuration

·         US360 plugged into USB-A port on back of the Quadstick

·         USB cable plugged into USB-B port on back of the Quadstick other end into top left of IOGEAR GUS402

 

Zen Control

·         Change Memory Slot: To be able to control the Zen hands free you need to be able to change memory slots on the Zen using the controller.  For the Xbox 360 Emulator config the button combo is XBOX + BACK and in a QS config sheet that is GUIDE + BACK.

·         Gamepack Menu: To access the menu for each Gamepack the button combo is LT + MENU and in a QS config sheet that is left_trigger + start

·         OLED Navigation: To move around the Zen OLED menu screen to configure Gamepack options on the fly you need the D-PAD for direction and changing values.  The A button to select the highlighted option on the OLED screen.  The B button will exit savings the settings to the Zen

 

Hope this helps out anyone wanting to configure a Cronus Zen on PC with the Quadstick.

 

Thanks Glenn

Yea took me a while to figure this shit out a couple years ago when Cronus sent me a Zen for testing, so this is great that you have put this together for people to follow. There was literally zero info out there when i did this, drove me nuts. 100% prefer the Titan Two though.

Yeah I looked into the Titan but I couldn't find any scripts or gamepacks for Fifa so that's why I went for the Zen
