BIOS mode required
The keyboard must be switched to BIOS mode before the Cronus Zen™ will accept it. Whether this is needed depends on the keyboard's firmware version. On the **Corsair Strafe**, BIOS mode has to be set again after every startup.Enumerates as a mouse
The keyboard registers a second device that the Cronus Zen™ reads as a mouse. Add that device to the **Ignore List** so it does not interfere with your mouse settings.Requires the correct cable connection
The keyboard ships with two USB cables. Only one of them carries the connection the Cronus Zen™ needs.Certain firmware versions may not be recognized
Compatibility depends on the keyboard's firmware version. If the Cronus Zen™ does not detect the keyboard, check for a firmware update from the manufacturer.| Consoles and controllers | Supported |

Firmware Version Incompatible
This message appears when your Cronus Zen™ firmware or your Zen Studio version is outdated. **Fix** 1. Update the firmware — see Update Firmware 2. Update Zen Studio 3. Reconnect the Zen and restart Zen StudioError E3, E3001, or E3002
These codes mean the firmware is corrupted or missing. They typically occur when: * firmware installation was interrupted * the device lost power during an update * firmware files became corrupted **Fix:** Bootloader recoveryStack or Bytecode error
Indicates corrupted memory, an invalid script, or a failed programming process. Typically caused by: * interrupting programming * power loss during flashing * a corrupted GamePack or script **Fix:** Hard reset, then reinstall your scripts. {% hint style="info" %} If the error comes back immediately after installing one particular script, that script is corrupted or incompatible. {% endhint %}Freezing or abnormal behaviour
If the Zen freezes, behaves abnormally, or shows error codes, a hard reset restores it to factory condition. **Fix:** Hard resetBootloader recovery
**Enter Bootloader Mode** {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Find the reset button The **blue reset button** is underneath the Cronus Zen™. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Hold it and connect Press and hold the reset button firmly. While holding, connect the Zen to your PC using the **CONSOLE/PC USB** port. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Confirm recovery mode The screen shows **Zen Bootloader**. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} **Reinstall the firmware** Open [firmware.modcentral.ca](https://firmware.modcentral.ca/) in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, and follow the on-screen instructions. {% hint style="warning" %} If the update fails, the cause is usually insufficient USB power.

Available Add-Ons [MAX Combo](https://guide.cronus.support/max-combo) [MAX Mapper](https://guide.cronus.support/max-mapper) [MAX Rec](https://guide.cronus.support/max-rec) # MAX Combo MAX Combo is a Zen Studio add-on that automates the creation of combo sequences by recording controller inputs and converting them into GPC code. The plugin: • Records controller input data\ • Converts recorded input into structured GPC code\ • Optimizes generated code for minimal size\ • Preserves event timing and execution accuracy\ • Automatically detects the start and end of input sequences\ • Allows optional inclusion or exclusion of accelerometer data and DS4 touchpad input\ • Supports recordings up to 300 seconds per session Once recorded, the generated GPC script can be edited, refined, and recompiled inside Zen Studio. ## Capture Options *** • **Combo Name** – Enter the name for the generated combo.\ • **Include Accelerometer Data** – Optional.\ • **Include DS4 Touchpad Data** – Optional.\ • **Stick Deadzone Adjustment** – Configure if required. These settings determine what input data will be recorded and converted into GPC code. ## Start Capture *** Click **Start Capture** to begin a 3-second countdown. • The capture buffer records up to **30 seconds** of input.\ • Perform the desired controller actions within this time.\ • Click **Stop** to manually end the recording, or allow the buffer to complete. The code generation algorithm automatically detects the beginning and end of the input sequence and converts it into optimized GPC code. ## GPC Code *** This area displays the generated GPC code after capture. The optimization process minimizes code size while preserving accurate event timing and transitions. If the generated result is satisfactory: 1. Select all code. 2. Copy and paste it into your GPC script for further editing or use. ## Status Bar *** The Status Bar provides real-time information during and after capture, including: • Buffer usage during recording\ • Number of transitions detected\ • Number of commands generated This helps evaluate recording completeness and code complexity. ## Device Monitor *** Opens the **Device Monitor**, which displays live input and output activity from the connected device.
# MAX Mapper MAX Mapper is a Zen Studio add-on that allows you to remap controller inputs and adjust sensitivity settings without writing code. It supports: • Button remapping\ • Analog stick configuration\ • Trigger sensitivity adjustment\ • Profile creation and management\ • Automatic GPC script generation Profiles can be generated as GPC scripts or programmed directly to a Cronus Zen memory slot. ## Managing Profiles *** A **Profile** is a saved configuration containing remaps and sensitivity adjustments. The MAX Mapper plugin supports: • Unlimited profiles\ • Import / Export for backup or sharing\ • Real-time testing while editing While MAX Mapper is open, changes apply instantly. You can test adjustments live using gameplay or the Device Monitor. ## Profile Menu *** • **Create** – Create a new profile with default settings.\ • **Import** – Load a previously exported profile file.\ • **Export** – Save the active profile for backup or sharing.\ • **Rename** – Rename the active profile.\ • **Delete** – Permanently delete the active profile. ## Active Remap *** Displays all created profiles.\ The selected profile becomes the active configuration for editing, exporting, generating GPC, or deletion. ## Input & Output Selection *** ### Input Select the controller type: • PlayStation 4\ • Xbox One\ • PlayStation 3\ • Xbox 360\ • Switch Joy-Con **Note:**\ If using PS5®, select *PlayStation 4*.\ If using Xbox Series X|S®, select *Xbox One*. ### Output Select the console type: • PlayStation 4\ • Xbox One\ • PlayStation 3\ • Xbox 360\ • Switch ## Profile Operations *** • **Generate GPC Script** – Creates a GPC script based on the active profile and opens it in the code editor.\ • **Export Profile** – Save profile to file.\ • **Rename Profile** – Change profile name.\ • **Delete Profile** – Remove profile permanently. ## Mapping *** Click the **Mapping** icon to assign any input button to any output button. **Note:**\ Xbox Elite v1 paddles can be remapped independently.\ Xbox Elite Series 2 paddles cannot be remapped independently. Other paddle-based controllers (e.g., Scuf) require GPC scripting for paddle remapping. ## Sticks *** The **Sticks** section allows configuration of: • Stick Size\ • X / Y Sensitivity\ • X / Y Deadzone\ • X / Y Midpoint\ • Axis Inversion #### Sensitivity Controls how responsive horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) movement is. #### Deadzone Defines the non-responsive area near the center of the stick to eliminate jitter. #### Invert Axis Reverses X or Y axis direction. #### Midpoint Default: 50%.\ Adjusting midpoint creates dual sensitivity zones: * Lower values: Higher sensitivity near center * Higher values: Lower sensitivity near center, higher sensitivity at extremes #### Stick Size Adjusts how input values map to analog stick range. Xbox consoles allow full square axis values.\ PlayStation consoles restrict movement to circular limits. Default value: **142**\ Some PlayStation titles may respond better at **115–120**. Leave at default unless adjustment is required. ## Triggers *** The **Triggers** section allows adjustment of: • Left Trigger sensitivity\ • Right Trigger sensitivity ## Profile Configuration Area *** Select **Input Protocol** and **Output Protocol** first. The controller graphic represents the **Output Protocol (console)**.\ The surrounding selections represent the **Input (controller type)**. ## Storing Profiles to Cronus Zen *** 1. Open the **Programmer Panel** in Zen Studio. 2. Select the **Remapper Profiles** icon. 3. Drag and drop a profile into any Cronus Zen memory slot. # MAX Rec MAX Rec is a Zen Studio add-on that records controller input sequences and replays them with 1:1 timing accuracy. It captures all controller inputs and stores them in a temporary memory buffer for playback or export. ### Requirements Cronus Zen™ must be connected: • To your console\ • To your Windows PC via the **PROG USB port** ## Plugin Interface *** ### Information Area Displays details about the recorded sequence, including: • Whether the sequence was loaded from file or recorded live\ • Total length (in seconds)\ • Playback progress bar The progress bar represents the full sequence and playback position. ## Load File *** Loads a previously saved recording file into the memory buffer. ## Play / Pause *** Starts or pauses playback of the loaded sequence. ## Loop *** When enabled, playback automatically restarts at the end of the sequence. ## Record / Stop *** • **Record** – Begins capturing controller inputs into the memory buffer.\ • **Stop** – Ends recording or stops playback. ## Save File *** Saves the current memory buffer to a file for later use or sharing. ## Device Monitor *** Opens the Device Monitor to display live input and output activity. # URL Hooks URL Hooks allow you to open Zen Studio and automatically load scripts into the compiler using a custom protocol link. This feature enables direct integration of web-hosted GPC scripts with Zen Studio. ### How It Works *** URL Hooks use the `zenstudio://` protocol to trigger specific actions inside Zen Studio. After the script loads into the compiler, you can compile and program the device as usual. ### Available URL Commands *** #### 1. Open Zen Studio ``` zenstudio:// ``` Launches Zen Studio. #### 2. Add GPC Library Script to Compiler ``` zenstudio://lib/script/?scripts=12345 ``` Loads the specified GPC Library script (by ID) directly into the compiler. Replace `12345` with the desired script ID. #### 3. Add Any Web-Hosted GPC Script ``` zenstudio://www.example.com/myscript.gpc ``` Loads a publicly hosted `.gpc` file directly into the compiler. The script must be accessible via direct URL. ### Example ``` zenstudio://www.mywebsite.com/myscript.gpc ``` # GPC Script Guide Your complete companion for writing scripts on the Cronus Zen.

Can I use more than one main section?
Zen Studio Live accepts more than one `main` section and merges them into one combined section. Use a single `main` section in new scripts unless splitting generated source is genuinely useful.
