Connect the CronusMAX PLUS to your Xbox 360

Connect your wired Xbox 360 Controller to the CronusMAX PLUS
 
 
Connect your wired Xbox 360 Controller into the Input Port of the CronusMAX PLUS.
 
  
After a couple of seconds the display on the CronusMAX LED will go from the Authentication 'AU' Animation to 0 (or a number if slot recall is enabled and a script was previously loaded). If the Display does not change from showing AU, check the List of Compatible Controllers to make sure your Xbox 360 Wired Controller is valid for Authentication.
 
WARNING
If the LED on the CronusMAX PLUS does not change from AU to a number then the authorization controller is not authenticating. 9/10 we find that this means the Xbox 360 Wired Controller is not compatible for authentication purposes, you should try another one. Also make sure the controller is powered on of course - that's a rookie mistake.
