There are several ways to connect the Quadstick to the PS4. Each has advantages and limitations that need to be understood in order to chose the best method for your situation. For most users that use the Quadstick without any secondary input devices, the Quadstick can be connected directly connect to the PS4 and configured to “boot in PS4 mode”. To eliminate a brief interruption in the connection every seven minutes, connect the Dual Shock 4 (DS4) controller that came with the console to the USB A connector on the back of the Quadstick. Leave the DS4 turned off. Turn on the PS4 from the front panel, not from the DS4. The Dual Shock 4 controller must be properly configured and prepared before use.
Without the DS4 connected to the USB A port, the USB emulation mode 4 (PS4) will work in manner similar to the CronusMax – Partial Crossover Support. Approximately every seven minutes the USB connection between the Quadstick and the console is interrupted for less than half a second to reset the timer in the console that enforces the authentication timeout. This works with many games, but some games will be stopped when the interruption occurs.
The emulation mode can be set in either an individual game profile or in the prefs.csv file (by turning on Enable boot in PS4 USB mode in the QMP).
