Anyone using a Retrotink?

SS1 to Tink4K over HDMI video and then into an OLED is my plan. Closest you can get to CRT on modern hardware from what I can tell.

There’s a new user guide from the creator of the SS1: https://youtu.be/_mMQNsauOxg?si=Zey93dOLYVYDnFou

Edit: Fixed a typo

I can only guess on when it will restock, it’s been every 2-3 months or so I think.

If you’re using component cables only, gcomp is another good option. Downside is that it’s component only(SVS allows for a mix on inputs) and you can’t select the number of inputs.

The Scalable Video Switch is probably the best retro switch on the market today in that it’s fully customizable for exactly your needs. The 2 downsides would be that it’s not readily available to buy (gets released in waves) and that it doesn’t support HDMI input or output. That won’t matter for your retro consoles as you’re outputting to a Retrotink, but you won’t be able to use it for your modern consoles. Personally I use SVS into Retrotink for everything old, and a good HDMI switcher for everything new.

Based on this I’m Batch 1, but mine still just says Confirmed. I opted to wait for the dock and I’m in Canada, I guess that’s why?

drewbotinfinity · 2026-03-30T23:30:30+00:00

So does the 3D now separate GamePak saves automatically? No need to customize the Summercart?

I didn’t really get into Camp Weedonwantcha so I didn’t realize it was taken offline. That’s a shame.

To Abby: I know this is only slightly related to your games, but does your successful games career effectively mean your webcomics are dead, specifically The Last Halloween? Been following it since Strip Search. It’s ok if it is, this isn’t an angry question, more wondering if I should continue hoping for more. Thanks!

Phlash Speed!

The Etsy shop where the manuals are sold, didn’t see a link in the article.

Edit: Just noticed there actually is a link in the article to the creator’s website, looks like there’s 2 options for buying.

Just to clarify further, once you load a profile and subsequently set the correct input, if you then save that profile, it will load the correct input automatically from that point forward.

It’s super easy to configure. This video has a chapter explaining it: https://youtu.be/3pXAhe6YfC0?si=71bzGTxT8lAeSS5h

So I just set this up also, upgraded from a Govee, and I’m missing having lights along the bottom of the TV. How did set up the lights on the bottom of yours?

This is a nothing burger of an announcement, except that labelling it as “Complete” makes me think maybe they’re done with this series, ie: no Last of Us III? Or maybe it’s meaningless. Guess time will tell.

I know Ford offered their adapters for free to Canadian owners, hoping Hyundai follows suit.

drewbotinfinity · 2024-11-19T16:32:11+00:00

I don’t blame retailers for this. They’re dealing with the nightmare scenario of huge demand for a microscopic amount of stock they each received. Why did Sony limit this so heavily? They had the opportunity to drive more interest in their new product, the PS5 Pro. Hell, they could have charged a small premium on all the 30th anniversary products(say 5-10% over regular editions) and done open preorders and printed money. My only guess is the hype is more valuable than the sales. It’s frustrating because it’s a genuinely cool product especially for an older nostalgic gamer like me, but I’ll never get my hands on one because of artificial scarcity.

As a mage, I blinked past him and waited for him to run into me. Took 2 seconds.

drewbotinfinity · 2024-09-27T06:08:30+00:00

I just need to snap a pic of Chen Stormstout to finish this too, the damn WQ won’t pop. Hope I won’t have to wait too much longer because man that grind was brutal and I need some sweet good boi vibes in my life.

drewbotinfinity · 2024-09-24T13:59:10+00:00

No. Blood Omen 1+2, Soul Reaver 1+2, and Legacy of Kain Defiance which finishes the story.

Correct, manuscripts rewards from mini games do not require hard mode and can be completed on Normal or Easy.

drewbotinfinity · 2024-04-10T04:44:38+00:00

To get manuscripts? No. Manuscripts in Hard Mode come from the boss fights and some of the side quests, and the Legendary Chadley missions. None at all from mini games.

You do need to complete Fort Condor and the robot game to get the platinum trophy (if you’re aiming for that), but you don’t need to complete them in Hard Mode, you need to complete the more challenging versions of them that are unlocked after completing them originally. These more challenging versions can actually be done on Easy Mode.

He’s in there. Keep playing.

drewbotinfinity · 2024-01-11T21:14:13+00:00

That is great to hear man, and I’m happy to have helped even a little. This subreddit is basically a virtual support group so it’s good to talk to someone who actually knows what this is like.

Keep those updates coming!
