Is a PDF of the manual of the Duo Ultimate H1 Quick Reference Guide available or a higher quality image of the Advanced Display Elements chart?

The included printed manual is largely fine but the dot pitch of the chart is too low to be legible. Is a higher quality PDF and/or an image of this chart available? Thanks

Set up iCode Arcade Spinner Ultimate USB in Win 11

mindexplo — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 09:28:34 +0000

I wanted to install the iCode Arcade Spinner Ultimate USB Gaming Controller on my Win 11 PC by plugging in the USB connector. I can see the controller under Input devices. However when I go to set up USB game controllers and click on properties I get a message: "Game Controller Error : Your Game Controller is not connected correctly. Please verify that it is plugged into your computer" . I have verified my Windows install and have tried different USB ports. Updated the firmware to version 3.3.But always the same result. I have tried the controller on my old Win 10 PC and there it works with no issues.

Now, I did test the controller in a few games on Steam, and it seems to be working as it should. I just find it strange that I can't go to the Properties of the game controller in Win11?

iCode Duo Ultimate in Retroarch

Hello. Does anyone know how to get the iCode Duo Ultimate to work in Stella in Retroarch? It works for me with Stella as a standalone emulator, but not within Retroarch. Thank you in advance for your help.

Getting the iCode spinner working on CoinOps

comfysofa — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 20:12:23 +0000

Hi there. First time post. Great product by the way...brilliant. Just found the firmware update stuff...didnt realize there was that much intelligence built into it....very impressed...

So the question as above....i know it does work as i download one coin ops build (i forget which one) and it just worked....so there has to be a setting somewhere...! could anyone point me in the right direction. The spinner is working in an arkanoid knock off in Steam and i can spin the mouse left and right so i think ive got all the settings right...

Thanks to anyone that has a crack at it.!

Two ideas/request for Spinner Ultimate

niceguybill — Sat, 23 May 2026 22:46:04 +0000

Loving the Spinner. I've been trying to set it up with some games in Steam that aren't playing nice with it. Is it possible to have a setting to emulate a keyboard? Also, I have a game that changes the paddle location from horizontal to vertical on various boards. I mapped a button to change to vertical, but I guess you have to hold the button down for the duration of the board which makes it tough to use other buttons. It would be nice if I could map a button to flip between the two when pressed.

Paddles with Stella Emulator on Linux

Marcel Schoen — Wed, 06 May 2026 19:41:06 +0000

I'm trying to use paddles with Stella on Linux, but they don't work well. Even at "Full Range" I can't move the paddle all the way to the left or right in "Breakout" (while it works with the mouse), it's jittery and imprecise. Any hints about specific settings maybe in Stella?

Also, proper Linux support would be appreciated in general - neither the online registration of the device, nor the firmware update work with Linux (at least nor for me).

Duo Ultimate not recognized by Stella

jjh — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 23:37:05 +0000

I just received the Duo Ultimate and have been testing it with various systems. It works great with Mame and Altirra, but for some reason Stella (v7, windows) does not pick up the paddles other than the fire buttons. I tried with the default profile (0, atari joystick+paddles) and i tried creating a new profile and trying different settings and in all cases only the paddle fire buttons get picked up, not the paddle x/y axes. I have a Duo Plus that works fine with Stella.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Spinner Ultimate and Mister FPGA setup

Assigned keys per iCode video. Spinner works only with Arcade cores but not in Sega SMS or NES spinner games. Tried mouse, mouse+gamepad, no joy. Please help.

Issue with Track Ball

Michael Winn — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:45:50 +0000

I have an issue with the iCode trackball that I bought recently (at least I think I do). The issue is that the movement is not smooth when moving the trackball, it is very jerky and this happens in game and when moving the mouse cursor in Windows 11. I have no issue with the Spinner which is very smooth. I have tried ajusting the sensitivity and acceleration but nothing makes a difference. I have tried different USB ports and a different cable, can I ask is this expected behaviour or could I have a faulty unit?

we're all configuring these devices ourselves. It would be reaslly cool if there was a "starter pack" basically Ali's favorite settings and then community additions for specific games. would be really cool to be able to dopwnload a profile pack that had mame/retrobat stuff already done and maybe asteroids tempest etc
