Requires firmware 1799 or newer. In the Quadstick Manager Program Misc tab, turn on "Enable boot in PS4 USB mode" and save the preferences to the Quadstick.
If the DS4 is not connected to the USB A port, the connection between the Quadstick and the PS4 will be briefly interrupted every seven minutes. Some games will react to the interruption, however many others are not affected by it.
If switching from one arrangement to the other, the Quadstick will need to be unplugged and plugged back in again.
If you are converting older PS4 configuration spreadsheets that employed the PS4 Crossover Essentials Gamepack on the CronusMax to access the touchpad, you can now use the following output names to directly address the touchpad outputs:
touch_left
normal
left
touch_right
normal
right
touch_up
normal
up
touch_down
normal
down
touch
normal
lip
The "touch" output presses the touchpad and is probably all that is normally needed. The directional outputs allow the position of the touch to be controlled. See the configuration spreadsheet PS4 Full Crossover Default for an example.
The user has the option of not connecting the DS4 to USB A and operating in partial-crossover if a second player needs to use the DS4. The Quadstick will need to be unplugged and plugged back in to the PS4 again if the DS4 is removed after power is applied. If the DS4 is plugged into the USB A port after power up, and the system is in partial-crossover mode, it will switch to full-crossover when the next interruption timeout occurs.
When the DS4 is being used with the USB A port, do not turn it on. Use the front panel button to start the PS4. The DS4 will appear to be off, but will be providing a stream of data to the Quadstick.
