SETUP GUIDES

Quick Start Guide

Get your Cronus Zen game-ready with your favorite console in just five easy steps:

  1. Update Firmware 
  2. Install Zen Studio 
  3. Register Your Zen
  4. Controller Setup
  5. GamePacks & Scripts

Stick to this brand new guide, and ditch those older videos. Follow the steps closely, and you'll be gaming with Zen in no time. 🎮🔧

REALLY, VERY, SUPER IMPORTANT

Listen up people, this is important stuff:

  1. In Zen Studio , don't use the Tools > Firmware Update option. Even if it suggests updating to the latest version, it'll only go up to Beta 50 and you'll get dumb "Firmware Version Incompatible" errors.
  2. The newer firmware  has its own standalone update tool, which you will find in STEP 1: Update Firmware.

Video Introduction



The video introduces the new Cronus Zen Quick Start Guides.

GAMEPACKS & SCRIPTS WARNING

Hold off on ANY GamePacks or scripts until you've completed the first four steps. Seriously. Most issues arise when users rush this. Everyone reaching out to cronus.support with laggy controllers or deadzone issues skipped this step.

The steps are simple, but keep in mind the setup can vary based on your controller, console, and connection method (USB, Bluetooth, or Wireless Adapter).
