CONTROLLER MAX unleashes the power of your video game controller. First it lets you use your favorite controller on Xbox One, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. It also allows you to convert your controller into a fully modded controller without installing any chips or wires. You can record all actions on your controller with macro programming so you can do multiple combos with the press of a single button and you can use a keyboard and mouse on your video games console giving you the edge in popular FPS games such as Call of Duty, Battlefield & Modern Warfare. The worlds most powerful video game controller addon CronusMax -ControllerMax Controller .

1. Download the latest Gtuner for CronusMAX from here <—–Do not download from anywhere else or perform an online update from an older version.

2. When installing to Windows 8 you may see a SmartScreen error – just ignore it and install (Click More Info > Run Anyway), Microsoft security throws up more false positives than a baby on a pea soup diet.

3. To check that everything has installed correctly and Gtuner is interfacing with our server, the Online library should be showing the latest community uploaded GPC scripts and the banner on the right will appear (we use this to show you our latest updates). If you can see everything you are good to continue to the next step. If not then you have some AV software or firewall blocking access. I know that tools such as Malwarebytes causes issues. This is something you will have to solve yourself as it’s a problem with your computer and not Gtuner. Do not continue until your Gtuner looks like the “Good Connection” image below.

If you have no AV tools causing this then there may be a write permissions problem with your Windows setup. To get around this copy your Gtuner folder from the installed location (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtuner) to your desktop and try again.

4. Gtuner has a built in update option that checks if you have the latest version of Gtuner software or CronusMax firmware installed (again, you need to be online). An update usually brings new features, improvements, and bug fixes.
The update procedure is not performed automatically, simply select the Tools menu and you will see the options to update gtuner or the CronusMax firmware.

5. Gtuner Update. Select Tools > Gtuner Update. If you have the latest version it will say that there is no update needed.

If an update is required it will tell you what the latest version is and you will be prompted to download, so click next to download and then click update. Gtuner will restart and you will see that it is now the latest version.

6. ControllerMAX Firmware Update.

You must first connect your CM to your PC via the PC PROG port and a Mini-USB cable (this must be a full data cable and not a charging cable. 9 times out of 10 when a CM will not update it is because of a bad USB cable, so if you have problems, try another mini-USB Cable. We have had customers with 5 cables and only 1 of them worked properly – there are many poor quality / power only cables out there that are useless for this kind of operation. The newer version CronusMAX are supplied with a compatible Mini-USB cable.

Click Tools > Firmware Update. If your CM is up to date with the latest firmware you will see a screen that looks like this:

If you have an outdated firmware then you will be greeted by this notice:

Depending on how old the firmware is it will either just update straight away or kick your CM into Firmware Recovery Mode. I will show the Recovery Mode steps.

As you can see Gtuner has detected the latest version of firmware but cannot recognize the firmware on the CM, so it will act as if it’s blank and will program a recovery firmware. Click Next.

The Recovery Firmware has now downloaded. Click Next to program.

Now unplug the USB cable from the CM and then reconnect. The following screen will pop up. Click OK.

Gtuner has now detected that the CM is programmed with the special Recovery Firmware and will update to the latest version found online. Click Next.

The CM is now flashed with the latest firmware. Click Finish.

To check if everything is working correctly simply goto Tools > Firmware Update and the screen should now look like this.

The bottom left of Gtuner should also indicate that the CM is connected and will display the firmware version.

In cases where you were unable to complete the update, by power loss or other reasons, the ControllerMAX will not work properly. In these situations, connect the ControllerMAX to your computers USB via the PCPROG port, press the reset button on the back of ControllerMAX TWICE with a paperclip to force it to enter into firmware recovery mode and you can then repeat the steps above (the LED will display P – see the LED guide for more info) on and you can then repeat the steps above. You can also follow this guide.
