Connect the Zen to a PS5
Goal: Move the Zen from the PC to the PS5 and pick your slot.
Steps
Unplug PROG
Disconnect the Zen from the PC. The programming cable is not used while you play.
CONSOLE → PS5
Run a USB cable from the Zen's rear CONSOLE port to a USB port on the PS5.
Controller → A1
Plug your controller into the A1 port on the front. Whether the PS5 needs a specific controller connected for authentication, and how to pair a controller wirelessly, is not covered in this course; see guide.cronuszen.com.
Pick the slot
Use the Zen's button to select the memory slot that holds your script. The OLED should switch to the script name.
