Updates are free for every DigiDice. They go onto the device through the DigiDice Updater, a small Windows app that also puts your own token art on the card.
Get the DigiDice Updater
Download DigiDice Updater for Windows
That link always points at the newest version. A copy also ships on the card inside every DigiDice. The app updates itself from the Updates tab, and it checks for new DigiDice firmware at the same time.
Windows may show a SmartScreen warning the first time you run it, because the app is new. It is code-signed, and the signature names DigiDice's maker, Richard Watson. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
How to update your DigiDice
- Run the DigiDice Updater on your PC and press Get the latest update.
- On the DigiDice, tap MENU, then SETTINGS, then UPDATE, and confirm with RESTART. The device restarts into USB Drive Mode.
- Plug the DigiDice into the PC with a USB-C cable. It appears as a drive, and the app's button changes to install the update.
- Press it, wait for the app to say it is done, then eject the drive in Windows. The DigiDice restarts, installs the update and comes back to the main screen.
Updating keeps your settings and token art. Counts kept only on screen are lost at the restart.
Token art
On the Updater's Tokens tab, drop in your own images, check the previews and press Upload tokens while the DigiDice is connected. They are resized to fit and show up under TOKENS on the device.
Need help?
If an update does not go through, the DigiDice shows "Update not installed" and keeps the version it had. Eject, restart it and copy the update again. Every release, with its notes, is on the releases page, and the app's source can be read there too. Still stuck? Contact us.
