Above is a deep-dive video revealing all the launch day features of the brand new RetroTINK 5x! All the basics are in the first six minutes, but after that I go over all the awesome things this upscaler…and DOWNscaler can do! UPDATE: Please note that there’s been many firmware updates since this review aired and each update added some amazing new features! There’s now true CRT-like scanlines, a smoothing filter that helps with 3D graphics and tons more. All the basics still apply though, so the above video is still relevant, other than the new features.

Interview:
If you’d like more information directly from the creator of the RetroTINK / RAD2x products, check out the live interview we did, right after the RT5x launched. UPDATE: My favorite part of the interview is when Mike says adding a smoothing filter might be impossible…and then a few months later he added it 🙂
