    I'm glad people can now experience retro games closer to what they are designed to look like. For a long time people said it wasn't possible, its been almost 20 years since lcd's got popular so its surprising it took this long. I remember when people said 3 frames of lag wasn't a big deal.

      LMFAO...I didn't even think of that! Excellent point. And look, it IS expensive. And it's totally okay if people think it's out of their budget. I only get annoyed at the people who come here accusing Mike of "ripping people off" because he decided to make a high end product, as well as entry-level.
      ...and I'm totally stealing your "expensive cellphone" comparison :)

    • @whiteflamehariel
      @whiteflamehariel 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Only difference is that typically you don't pay in full for phones. The cost is dispersed throughout 2 years on your cellphone bill and people don't usually realize that or find it easier to deal with. Yes, you could put the cost of the rt4k on a credit card and say what's the difference but the cost of the phone via billing on your cell bill isn't charged interest either and will 100% be paid off eventually make the same payments for 2 years. You also typically have the option to trade it in and upgrade after half (1 year) of it is paid for.
      Not disagreeing with the point, it's just not a complete end to end comparison and I have a rt4k now (thankfully) and is sooooo worth it. I've been dying for this solution as I have an ossc and just, didn't feel like it was enough for how I wanted to use my unmodded consoles and was fearing that I basically was going to need to mod a lot of my consoles to get anything worthwhile when trying to capture or just play on my c9.

    I've set up all my old consoles years ago for RGB SCART and a CRT and right now it's my preferred way of playing older consoles. I use an OSSC as well and while it gets the job done It's not perfect. Being able to scale just about anything up to 4K lwith minimal lag and without artifacts or bad filters is really amazing, this will even be great for 720p PS3/360 era games. Never been a fan of "fake" scanlines but this looks really impressive. It only needs to be more affordable but I'm sure that will happen some day.

    I am so happy to see this device and really can't wait for the full release to see final price and what it can be pushed to do. Have to ask though, what is the chance a v2 will be released with HDMI 2.1 at some point in future? yes it will be more money, but if we are already putting our hand in our pocket to pay close to $1000, not many of us will complain about an extra $50/$100/$150 to have the latest HDMI standard and potentially have more 4k modes opened up as well.

    • @RetroRGB
      @RetroRGB  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I asked Mike the same question. It would raise the price so high, that it's not even worth it. So my guess is it'll be *years* before we see one that can go as high as 8K60 / 4K120.

    Finally VGA support.
    The stock 720 x 480P on Dreamcast looks sharper and better than composite/SVideo with the RetroTink 5X even on my 4K Samsung TV since SVideo and composite don't make use of the VGA resolution and it's a noticeable difference.

    I work with Radio Frequency Coax a lot for the purpose of editing, Is there a way to plug the 8 pronged RF cable of death into this? I want my NES grey box to look EXTRA crispy. (not a joke, I like the look)

    • @RetroRGB
      @RetroRGB  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There's a bunch of boxes that convert RF to Composite, ranging from a VCR to boxes from Extron and Sony. I actually planned on showing that in this video, just for fun, but ran out of time.

      Wasn't it out of production already. You couldn't find one as far as i have looked even before this retrotink devices.

    Very good job diplomatically addressing the supposed 4K scaler competitor (Morph) in the beginning. They did say there would be footage of it in action weeks ago but didn't deliver. It's obviously still vaporware, but feels like they rushed to announce it and a lower price just to take some wind out of the Tink4K's sails.

    • @RetroRGB
      @RetroRGB  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I genuinely think it's real and will be great. I'm just taking the piss a bit at how volatile they've been, while still not showing any footage at all.

    It seems to me that when you get an LCD with 8k resolution, the emulated phosophor stripes will be the same size as the stripes on the macro of the D32 mask.

    It's everything I ever wanted! All In One with SCART, VGA, HMDi, 4K, actually good CRT filters, profiles, etc! Unfortunately the final price will most probably still be WAAAYYYY out of my league, unless I get lucky and buy one in 2nd hand down the road. Cheap used SONY CRTs will continue to do the heavy work for now.

    The per core settings for Mister would be awesome. If the Tink 4k doesn't have network access, it could be possible if it has some kind of command line interface via USB. Someone could theoretically create a tiny web service that can control the tink (maybe pico w?), so the Mister could announce what it's launching (either a web request to the tink or a broker in the middle) and launch the correct profile.

    • @SnakebitSTI
      @SnakebitSTI ปีที่แล้ว

      From an implementation standpoint, I imagine it would be easier to code MISTer cores to display a test pattern at startup for the scaler to lock on to.

    I was an ardent fan of playing the old consoles with scanlines, either on emulators or using GBS. But after I got a 4k tv, my mind completely changed and now I just play games without any filters, just the pixels. Somehow the definition of the 4k TV made me value pixel art more.

    • @SnakebitSTI
      @SnakebitSTI ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A display's internal scaler plays a huge role in image quality when it receives less than native resolution input, so that could be part of it.

    • @ZinhoMegaman
      @ZinhoMegaman ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SnakebitSTI Not necessarily, because the TV scaling is not being used, since the emulators are doing the scaling. But you're right to assume that its scale is good, as both PS3 and Xbox 360 look excellent, something I honestly didn't expect.
