Connecting to an Xbox One

 
Connecting to an Xbox One
 
1
Set Output Protocol
 
 
Follow the instructions here to correctly connect your CronusMAX PLUS to a PC via the PC PROG port using the supplied Mini-USB Cable.
 
Load Cronus PRO and go to Tools > Options > Device
 
 
Set the Output Protocol to XB1.
 
These are also the recommended default Speed Up Settings for Xbox One Controllers. Rumble Over Bluetooth is disabled as it's not being used.
 
You can now close the Options window and disconnect your CronusMAX PLUS from the PC.
 
2
Connect the CronusMAX PLUS to your Xbox One
 
 
Connect the CronusMAX PLUS into one of your Xbox One USB ports via it's Output Port.
 
Note: As the Xbox One provides constant power to its USB ports, even when you do a soft-reset, we recommend using our custom Power/Data Switch Cable so you can easily reset the CronusMAX at anytime without getting stuck in AU mode.
 
  
The CronusMAX PLUS LED Display will now show the Authentication 'AU' Animation.
 
3
Remove any Xbox One Controller Batteries
 
 
Remove any batteries or charger pack from your Xbox One Controller (if it has them).
 

This is a very important step or the controller will not authorize correctly.

 
4
Connect your Xbox One Controller to the CronusMAX
 
 
Connect your Xbox One Controller into the Input Port of the CronusMAX PLUS using a full data Micro-USB Cable.
 
5
Ready to Use
 
  
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) - indicating that the controllers are authorized and you're ready to play. At this point you can use your controller through the CronusMAX PLUS and also load any scripts or GamePacks. It's that simple! NOTE: If there is no response from your controller but the CronusMAX LED displays 0, then you should follow this Xbox One Troubleshooting Guide.
 
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 Micro-USB cable to the controller is faulty or not full data or simply not compatible, you should try another one. Another issue that sometimes comes up is that the controller USB port has a loose data pin. It will charge fine, but won't transmit data. Also make sure the controller is powered on of course - that's a rookie mistake.

CONTROLLER DISCONNECTING?
If you find that your Xbox One controller disconnects at random times there are several things to check that should solve the problem.

1. The USB cable could be losing its connection between the Xbox One controller and the CronusMAX PLUS. This can be caused by a poor quality USB cable, the USB socket on the controller itself is loose, or any USB extension cable you may be using with the Xbox One controller is poor quality or too long. Check all connections and replace any parts if necessary.

2. You powered on the console with the controller. Don't do that as the console will sync with the controller and the security ID will pass to the console and not the CronusMAX PLUS. Always power on the console with the consoles power button.

3. Go to Step 1 in this guide and make sure 'Inframe In' is disabled and also try disabling the '1ms Response' and 'Inframe Out' options too. This sometimes solves any disconnecting problems.
