Updating the Firmware
Before playing your Dock, make sure to update to the latest firmware at support.analogue.co. You will need a FAT16 or FAT32 formatted USB drive to update the firmware.
In order to update the firmware, copy the latest firmware update file at support.analogue.co (with a .bin extension) to the root directory of your USB drive. Make sure no other firmware files are in the root directory. Insert your USB drive into the USB slot on your Dock. The firmware update process will start automatically and takes approximately three minutes to complete. During that time the LED will flicker red and the screen will be blank. When the process is complete the LED will show a steady color and you will see the on screen logo. Do not power off Dock while the firmware is updating. If the power goes off for any reason, Don’t Panic! The system may not display anything but it will look for a firmware file to flash to once the power is restored. You cannot brick your Dock with a failed firmware update.
When you update firmware, all settings are reset to their defaults. Take notes of your settings prior to updating.
Setting up your TV for perfect retro gaming
If your TV has a low-lag or Game Mode, enable it. Otherwise turn off all processing features on your TV or it may negatively effect gameplay and latency.

Settings Menu Structure & Outline
Factory Default Settings for each option are highlighted. If the option is not highlighted, then it is not enabled with the Factory Default Settings. If there is a range given to a particular option, then the default value for that range is highlighted after the range limits are given.
Video Settings
Resolution
480p modes set a resolution of 640×480 (no widescreen borders are added to the signal) 720p modes set a resolution of 1280×720 1080p modes set a resolution of 1920×1080.
50p is intended for European and Australian PAL games, all Japanese, American, South Korean and Brazilian games use the NTSC 60p frame rate. If you see visual artefacts like tearing (assuming the single buffer mode is off) or stuttering, check here to make sure your refresh rate matches the refresh rate of the game’s region. This setting should be used in conjunction with the Hardware settings in the System Submenu.
Dock supports EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) over HDMI. The display will send EDID information over the HDMI cable telling Dock what display modes it supports. You may get an unsupported display mode to work, but if you do not, you may end up with no picture. Some NTSC displays may not report 50p support but will work with some or all 50p resolutions anyway. Almost all European displays support 60p. Dock will start up with the highest resolution and frame rate your monitor supports unless you select a lower resolution setting and save the settings.
