    After several months of testing and evaluating options, I'm happy to announce that 4K60 video processing is no longer out of reach for retrogaming. With some head banging, I've figured out how to output 4K60 4:4:4 using FPGAs that aren't cost insane. "TINK4K" is coming... 1/3

    RT4K Official Info! retrotink.com/post/introduci… TL;DR: Planning 2023 release. Best guidance is to budget $1,000 and expect a pleasant surprise for the final price. If I missed anything, drop a q below. No teasing or BS from me. 🤡

    Working on Automatic Detection of Console and Resolution! RT4K detects SoTN as it switches between 256, 320 and 384 pixel modes!!! Still have a lot of stuff to prep before launch -- so this will be one of the things I'll be working on later on.

    Thank you everyone for your patience! RT4K will go on sale December 9th at 2PM Pacific Time! We will start shipping immediately from inventory, but expect that the whole batch will take until Jan. 15 to finish fulfillment.

    Simulating CRT beam mis-convergence in 4K! These pictures are probably pushing it too far, but I’m starting to be convinced that a slight amount (vs perfect alignment) is needed for an authentic look.

    Wow, I completely underestimated today. THANK YOU so much everyone, and I'm very sorry if you weren't able to get a unit. Demand was much much higher than the 5X, which destroyed the site. Production run 2 is already in progress and hopefully will arrive in January.

    Nintendo Switch 720p HDMI downscaled to 240p, then re-upscaled to 4K HDR with full scan line effects 😈

    Working on a new feature to reproduce the illegal composite NTSC colors from systems like the NES! Thanks to HDR, we can simulate how an old fashioned CRT gun can be overdriven to create the intense colors that have been lost with digital decoders. Available on RT4K FW 1.98
