Device Mode

Through the use of a USB A-to-A cable, the Quadstick can switch to a second Host, like a PC or game console.  The enable_usb_a_device preference on a Preferences sheet controls which port is active:
 
Preferences
 
 
 
Preference
Value
enable_usb_a_device
1
 Sample configuration spreadsheet:  USB A
 
    Do not set the value of the enable_usb_a_device to 1 in the prefs.csv or default.csv files. You may lose the ability to connect to your Quadstick.  Only use the feature in other configuration files that are selected after power up. 
    Power for the Quadstick only comes through the USB-B port, so it must remain connected to a power source while using the USB-A port in device mode.
    CronusMax Full Crossover, with a USB hub, will not operate with USB connections that ever change after they first connect.  This means you cannot disconnect from a Full Crossover connection on USB B to a separate host on the USB A then back again.  The CronusMax in Partial Crossover mode does not have this limitation and you can switch back and forth at will.
 

The Enable USB-A Host mode preference setting must be disabled in the

QMP->Misc tab

prior to using USB-A Device mode:
