RetroTINK 5X-Pro

Setup​

  1. Power the RetroTINK by plugging in the USB cable.
  2. Connect your SD console's video out to the RetroTINK. This will be either:
    • Composite (yellow, white and red RCA)
      • Plug the yellow RCA into the green jack
    • S-Video (black 4-pin DIN connector + white and red RCA jacks)
    • Component (red, blue, green white and red RCA)
    • SCART (black 21-pin connector)
  3. Change the Input source to the correct one, either by pressing the Input button on the Tink itself (which cycles through each option), or using the remote, under [Input] in the settings menu.

If the video is black and white, that usually just means you're on the wrong input.

  1. Done!

Settings/Troubleshooting​

When you plug in the RetroTINK, it will load the default profile. This should be fine for most games.

[HDMI]​

V-Sync​

  • Use Frame Lock whenever possible for minimum lag.
  • If the game changes resolution, it may drop signal. Try switching the V-Sync to Triple Buffer.

VRR​

  • Keep this set to FreeSync. this prevents signal dropouts when dealing with unusual refresh rates.
