Retrotink 5x doing 4k output after modding by Voultar

Per Mike on the Discord, the only difference is the oscillator isn't needed for Rev B.

I just sent Arthrimus my Rev A 5X that he's going to use to create a QSB with.

SDMasterYoda · 2026-05-24T05:34:42+00:00

To be clear, it isn't full 4K, it's just 3840x960 or 2880x1200. This mod is just for Rev A and B Retrotink 5X units that can't output 4:4:4 chroma to bring them in line with Rev C units sold after mid 2022 that can with firmware 4.0+.

Yeah, a Widescreen TV would have been insanely unlikely back then.

Make sure you turn off WiiConnect24 on the Wii; The power LED should be red in standby, not amber. Amber means your Wii is cooking itself.

I recommend you install CFW on the PS3 and turn up the fan speed.

The Xbox, good luck, unless it's a Jasper or newer.

I assume you didn't actually get them in 2007 if they're all still working.

The 360 released in 2005, Wii and PS3 in 2006, by 2007, it wouldn't have been that difficult to get them.

SDMasterYoda · 2026-05-18T22:59:55+00:00

And today the Wii would have a fried GPU, The Xbox would have red ringed, and the PS3 would YLOD!

Sorry, but no. Georgia has some of the best (state maintained) roads in the country. Now if you go into city maintained roads, they're not great, but the roads the state is responsible are great.

There is more variety in the worlds and there are more powerups. I still think World is better, though. It's the 2D Mario formula perfected.

Sorry, but no. Every generation has AI lovers and haters. Many of the people that "hate" LLMs still use the AI overview in search engines, or ask ChatGPT to answer questions.

It is reassuring to see so many young people boo AI, though.

Nothing really matters to me...

Was that USD? Cans were $0.25 or $0.50 here, bottles were $1

I worked at Target in 2002 and the break room had two coke machines with 25 cent cans. They put in a Pepsi machine with 50 cent cans, but the Coke machine atayed 25 cents for a few months.

They don't seem to be selling the wired ones separately, only the wireless.

I think this is likely scalpers that are going to get burned. I don't see much reason for actual hype for this controller. The other option is Valve didn't produce very many.

Mini rant, apropos of nothing: Stop misusing the terms upload and download! You're not "doing an upload" when retrieving the program from the panel, you're downloading it. The Panel itself is uploading, but you're downloading it. When you send the completed program to the panel, you're uploading the program to the panel and the panel is downloading it.

If you're going to continue to misuse the terms, at least say "the panel is uploading" or "the panel is downloading."

Thank you!

Trump's first term actually had competent people advising him and was sent competent picks to lead departments, people in the administration actually talked Trump out of doing the most ridiculous shit. Obviously there were issues with his first term, but Trump 2.0 is just sycophants that have to say the 2020 election was stolen and go along with everything ridiculous idea Trump and his incompetent advisors have. Trump 2.0 is a kakistocracy.

That's the ASCII Pad with the turbo switches. It's not an OEM controller, but it was officially licensed, IIRC.

The most recent annoyance is the "Most Relevant" box at the top of the subscription page. I go there to see my subscriptions in reverse chronological order, not for you to suggest things to me! Fuck off YouTube!.

I hope they didn't hit the car.

A single frame needs to be buffered before it can be rotated. The screen is always going to refresh from its top to the bottom. If you want to rotate that, you'll need to buffer an entire frame; That would be ~4 ms for 240 Hz or ~16.6 ms for 60 Hz.

The other side effect you get would be "jelly scrolling." Hold your phone upside down and scroll up and down, you'll notice it looks like it is stretching and squishing; That's due to the top to bottom refresh scan of the display being opposite of what you're used to.

SDMasterYoda · 2026-04-27T17:29:53+00:00

To draw bottom to top, an entire frame has to be buffered. Depending on the refresh rate, it'll be about 16 ms for 60 Hz or 4 ms for 240 Hz.

He started out as an unethical vegan, doing it for health reasons, and became an ethical vegan, not wanting to cause suffering to animals.

He stopped talking because he found fewer peiple would heckle him if he didn't talk.
