The current version of the Roll Limitless (which looks like a square) has the ability to update its firmware.
First you will need to put the adapter in firmware updating mode. There is a rectangular button on the top of the adapter, near the microusb port. Hold this button down while plugging the adapter into a computer. The adapter will show up as a flash drive. Put a firmware file on the flash drive, and the adapter will automatically update to use that firmware. After putting the firmware file on the flash drive, the adapter will stop showing up as a flash drive. At this point you can plug the adapter back into the console.
Available Firmwares:
