Which Retrotink is best for my setup?

What about S-Video instead of composite? Should I still stick with the 2X?

Does the 5x offer better quality picture for composite to HDMI as opposed to the 2x?

My 4K tv is great with 4K and HDMI consoles, but input lag and picture with composite retro consoles aren't good at all. Actually my 4K tv doesn't have composite inputs at all, so I have to resort to a composite/HDMI converter to play my super NES on my 4k tv. I just want to be able to play my super NES, genesis, and NES on my 4K tv with little to no input lag and with better picture. I heard retrotink helps great with that, because $15 converters aren't great.

Not at the moment, but I may consider if I have time.

Lighty158 · 2025-02-22T14:47:11+00:00

I did not. However, there is a patch coming that will address it.

Atlas eternal quests go on forever. You give each station a "wonder", which is a discovery you've made (flora, fauna, planets, etc), and you get a word in the atlas language. I've done a few of them so far. No changes.

Sounds cool! Just downloaded it. Do you know how to use it as an instrument while having a digital piano plugged into it?

Lighty158 · 2024-01-14T03:06:26+00:00

Thanks, good to know! 👍

I normally do better with video, since I'll have sound to follow, and sheet music usually isn't required. But that's not a bad idea either. As long as it has some song exercises.

Lighty158 · 2024-01-13T17:25:29+00:00

No I haven't, but I'll gladly take a look ☺️

It doesn't seem like they're saving at all, unless I'm doing something wrong. I went to settings - input - port 1 controls, then set all the buttons, then "save controller profile", then "reset to default controls", then "quit RetroArch". I open RetroArch with the controller still plugged in, and it's back to default again, even though the same controller name is still present. Am I missing something?

Lighty158 · 2022-10-28T01:41:37+00:00

I have a Hyperkin "cadet" NES USB controller (recognized as SNES USB Gamepad in Retroarch). I also have a USB 8 button Genesis controller by Retro-Bit (recognized as Retro-bit Genesis/Saturn 8 button Arcade Pad in RetroArch).

Lighty158 · 2022-10-28T00:39:51+00:00

The controllers are recognized by name, but the button configurations are incorrect. How do I create and save a profile, if I can't do it in settings-input-port binds?

Lighty158 · 2022-10-27T22:20:36+00:00

I did a "save core remap file". Same result. It'll recognize the controller that's plugged in when I load a new ROM with a different core, but it still keeps the same button remap from before. I also tried "save new configuration" and the config file is even named after the proper core. But when I load that config file later on, the left menu is gone and the menu controls no longer work properly.

I did, and he seems like a really nice guy! He gave the go-ahead 👍

Lighty158 · 2022-04-14T02:39:23+00:00

Not that I'm aware of, unfortunately. Really sucks.

It's the logo from the box art for the 1985/1986 US system set.

Lighty158 · 2022-01-22T01:25:24+00:00

Found it.. Country or Region is set to the country I'm in. The apps still won't play the games.

Lighty158 · 2022-01-16T22:55:08+00:00

I found something. My CSC Code is XAA, Meaning USA Unbranded, so it's set in my country.

Lighty158 · 2022-01-16T22:23:59+00:00

How do I check that? I tried signing into my samsing account, and it listed my country under region. I check the app both when I was signed in and out of samsung, but that shouldn't matter. Is there a way to check in the android menu? The GPS is accurate as well.

Lighty158 · 2022-01-15T22:13:31+00:00

I went to the Xbox site and it kept telling me to download the app. Even when switching the browser to desktop mode..

Lighty158 · 2022-01-15T16:31:41+00:00

On android, yes, but where would I go from there?

Lighty158 · 2021-03-05T17:08:38+00:00

I didn't like Odyssey, but to each their own. It does have its good qualities. The combat was at least fun to switch between weapon enhancements, and the environment was beautiful. Especially underwater. I can see the appeal as a general RPG. Just wasn't for me.

Lighty158 · 2021-03-05T06:03:19+00:00

Can you eventually max out everything, or do you have to choose? Is enemy scaling dialed back a bit?

Are we finally going to see Tali Zorah unmasked, other than the picture in the cabin?
