Solution: Please contact support@evercade.co.uk. We have a Pixel Pusher program to help resolve this issue. Typically, a stuck pixel will unstick after the use of your console for some time. We do not offer automatic replacements for one stuck pixel.

The Evercade VS supports the use of the Evercade Handheld as a controller. However, this function is only available on firmware 2.0 upwards so you will need to update your handheld to the latest firmware.
The handheld Controller mode will be operational once connected to the VS using the Evercade VS Link Cable, which is available separately.
