UPDATED 06/19: Cable/Harware requirements have been expanded. See below… Mike Chi has just released another firmware for the RetroTINK 5x that adds an interesting feature: The ability to automatically scale the Game Boy Interface software to 6x, 7x and 8x. Here’s links to everything you need, with lots more info below the RT5x updating instructional […]
I recently saw a SCART cable made by the company Belkin, that had a round cable coming out of the center of each connector, as apposed to the standard angled connector you’ll normally find on SCART cables. I wanted to give it a try for use with the RT5x, as well as other devices were […]
I recently posted about being careful when using “MiSTer SCART cables”, as they need to have the proper resistor on the sync line. After that post, I started getting some questions about the Analogue consoles “VGA-style” output as well – and realized I’d completely forgot to test them in my HD15-2-SCART adapter video! Turns out, […]

Pre-orders are now open for two physical editions of the Metroidvania game A Robot Named Fight! for the Nintendo Switch. There will be a “premium edition”, that’s a physical copy with a few extras that will sell for $40. There’s also a $60 “retro edition”, which is essentially a “collectors edition” with an NES-style box […]

While Shank’s other builds are also really impressive, being a fan of the Virtual Boy made this video extra awesome for me. While I don’t want to spoil anything about this very cool video, I do want to comment […]
Sorry for the scary title – This post is mostly just an educational piece with links to what you need, however there is a real risk of damaging SCART equipment if you use the wrong cable!!! If you’re looking to connect your MiSTer to a SCART device, I recommend either a properly built cable, or an adapter. […]
The HD15-2-SCART is a device that’s both a sync combiner and connector adapter: It routes the RGB signal from an HD-15 (VGA-style) connector and a 3.5mm audio jack to a SCART head. Then, you have the option of combining H&V sync to csync, or just passing csync through a resistor to drop the voltage to […]
Thunderstruck has recently updated the “HyperFlasher” app, which is used for configuring your HyperFlash32 ROM cart. If you connect your HF32 with a USB cable, this is also the utility you’d use to upgrade the firmware. I think the label and icon customizations is the feature that will get the most use: Not only can […]
Greg from Laserbear has just created a wall-mount bracket for the RetroTINK 5x. This is great for people who want a tidy setup and would prefer to mount their RT5x out of the way! Check out a quick overview in the YouTube short above, as well as a few more pics below the links! Purchase […]
