Legends Ultimate 4.9.0 (Mar 4, 2020)

Note: If you are updating from our open beta firmware, please perform a Factory Reset before updating to this release. Steps for Factory Reset can be found here: https://arcades.atgames.net/faq/.

Additional Notes

  • We are working on getting OTG to work with more devices like RaspberryPi, Odroid etc.
  • The clock will reset after power cycles due to hardware limitations, but it will automatically sync to the internet if the ALU is online.
  • Control Mirroring only applies to ALU controls, not external controllers.
  • Some add-ons will not run after the system has been left running for a while. if this happens please try again after a power cycle.
  • The left-most USB port will not read USB drives when in OTG mode.
  • When external devices can’t pair to the ALU in BT Device mode, please change to BT Host mode, disconnect the device, and try again.
  • Data Manager will show a non-zero number after clean up due to non-exportable system logs.
