What emulation mode works as a mouse?

[Chris Davidson]

What emulation mode works as a usb mouse while using the usb a output on back of quadstick with it enabled in preference tab in a script? I also have a titan 2 adapter if that can somehow make it able to be a kb/mouse and gamepad

[Fred Davison]

The mouse is available in emulation modes 0, 2, 4, & 6.

The USB-A port can be used with any emulation mode.

A Titan Two adapter will not work with any mouse or keyboard emulation of the Quadstick.  Only game controller emulations are supported.  The best setup for the T2 is PS4 USB mode (4) and the Titan Two PS4 flag on:

How do you change emulator modes on the quad stick? I have been using it for years and this is the first I have heard of this. I use USB-A a button input.

These topics are only loosely related and is slightly off-topic to Chris's original question.

If you are using USB-A as two digital inputs, there is no emulation mode, the USB controller for that port is disabled and the wires normally used for USB are used for switch inputs.

USB connections have two entities, a host, like a PC or console, and a device, like a mouse or game controller.  The host is in control of the connection.

The USB-B port is always a device, never a host.  The USB-A port is more flexible.

The USB-A port hardware can be used in three mutually exclusive ways:  As a host to other devices, as a device to other hosts, or as two digital inputs with a special adapter circuit.

The USB-A port hardware mode must be set at power up in the prefs.csv file and cannot be changed after it is initialized.   

When the USB-A port is used as a device to another host, it is essentially the same as a second USB-B port.

The quadstick can emulate different USB devices:  https://quadstick.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/user_manual/um/usb__emulated_devices.htm

By default (emulation mode 0), it emulates a composite device made up of a PS3 controller, mouse, keyboard and flash drive.

When USB-A is set up to work as a device, the user can switch which host the quadstick connects to by using a preference setting in a configuration file.

This is all covered in the manual.

I have another question, if no emulation_mode is selected then is mode = 0?

[Fred Davison]

Mode 0 is the default.   It is a PS3 compatible controller plus mouse, keyboard and flash drive.  Multiple devices crammed into one device is called a Composite Device.

Mode 4 is when the Enable boot in PS4 USB mode is selected in the QMP misc tab.  It has a PS4 compatible controller, plus mouse, keyboard and flash.

Mode 4 is sort of an automatic mode detector.  It determines what kind of host it is connected to, PS3/PS4, CronusMax Plus, or PC, and switches to mode 1 for a PS3, mode 7 for a PS4 and stays in 4 for PC.

Mode 1 is pure Dual Shock 3 emulation.  Only a controller is available then.  Mode 3 is XBox 360.
