Selecting SOCD Modes
The SOCD Mode is chosen while plugging in the controller and holding down a specific button.
Once the Hit Box ULTRA is booted into a specific SOCD Mode it will stay in that mode until you manually boot it into another mode.
You do not need to select your SOCD Mode every time you plug your Hit Box ULTRA in. The SOCD Mode stays in memory for the next time you plug in your Hit Box and until you manually change to another SOCD Mode.
