Mine is just black screen when I use the hdmi. And when I try av there’s no audio

Excellent review.

Were is the link?

Just stumbled across your video after doing the firmware "update" to mine today and finding that the A and B buttons were mismapped and having a Google search, and I didn't get as far as realising it was more than just those two buttons. I updated my BlueRetro from 24.04 to 24.10 as well and wasn't sure which update broke it, but glad to have an answer from your video that it was the RetroFighters "update". I'd been meaning to contact them for a while for a few things that I thought should go into a firmware update, including the rumble issue. In NES and GB games (EverDrive64 X7), there are phantom inputs from these controllers as well. At least directionally that makes them unplayable with these controllers (works with every other one), but don't know if there are other phantom inputs as well as directions. Another oversight by RetroFighters for UltraHDMI, N64Digital and RetroGEM users is that the controller's LED on/off combo is included in these HDMI mods' in-game-reset (IGR) combo. Every time you do an IGR, you toggle the controller's LEDs on/off which is such a nuisance. I don't know if they'll ever properly fix the rumble issue, this mapping issue or either of the other issues I've just raised but I also love the shape and feel of these controllers so I hope they can get it sorted.

I did this mod last week and when i tested it i got nothing so i redid the soldering 3 times.... i had it on the wrong channel lol its nice for the price.

My TV is ding that to

You're a microphone sounds really good what kind are you using

I bought the "KO" SD2SNES (aka FX Pak Pro) cart. Cost me about $90usd/$130cdn. It's pretty darn good, also note that SD2SNES is open source so what you buy on AliExpress is the same as Krikzz version, only difference I can see is the shell quality (I used to own the original Krikzz version). I even updated the OS using the latest version found on the official Krikzz site and it works great. Plays all the special chip game including msu-1 enhanced audio games without issue. Instant game load. Resets to menu with the controller. Saving works great and it also has a save state feature. If you can find the proper bios files then you can even have it act as an actual super gameboy and play GB games on it. Was even able to change the menu theme to something much nicer with absolute ease. Some of these features may need the newest OS to function like the menu theme change. Half the price of the Krikzz version with all the features and compatibility. Even the shipping was fast at about 8-9 days from ordering. The only game I have not been able to start up is Smurfs but that seems (maybe) to be an issue with the game regardless of the flash cart used. I'll also note that "in game hooks" being turned on can make some games not run well or at all but that's easy to turn on or off through the menu. Very recommended.

The TV can't find the sync of the signal

Bro thank you for this video you explain things nice and clear so even boneheads like me can get it. Your tips helped!

37:53 I wished the newer Zelda games have the Majora's Mask death system instead, where the player warps back to the area's entrance upon dying. If that happened, then "Game Over" would be replaced by "Try Again", though latter text didn't appear in Majora's Mask originally.

Hall effects and gyro 🔥

Thank you for the comparison!!! I guess nothing beats the good old CRT, but I don't want to rely on such outdated tech anymore. It has been more and more difficult to find a good CRT nowadays. I never wanted to mod my N64, and it's good to know that just a Retrotink 4K and a S-Video cable will be enough. I can barely see differences hahaha. A comparison between the CRT with Retrotink 4K using scan lines would be interesting to see in the future!

I booted up Lucky Number Slevin on my PS2 + JVC TM-H150CG and I was blown away by the colors. I thought "this must be a high quality DVD, right? So I tried it on my PS4 + LG LCD and the colors where so bad. Man, I'm so surprised.

Doing my mod this weekend. Thanks for the video. Wanted to say your “nervous like” laugh throughout the video made me fall out bro. Shit made me laugh and SMH. Lol.

Is there a way to contact you? I have a problem with my S video cable for the N64 the cable not fit to Retrotink 4k s video hole at all ) :

Wow! ..surprised to see the perfection in a couple of those GameCube style sticks.. guess it can be found! Ok.. ok.. well shown.

Well, not that great actually lol.. someone just needs to nail that perfect N64 octagon gate! Then make the stick feel good w a rubber tip identical to the size n shape of the N64 thumb tip, give it some stronger tension w SnapBack like that new GCPro frm RF, boom done lol.. all just makes ya wonder if their even usin the controller test! lol ..Good stuff man, glad I found your channel.

Great video any experience with the vga to component adapter want to try with component through there is a P.O. Box I can send this to or do you want the name of it

Thanks for the in-depth review! We appreciate the feedback!

Had one of these on order since May and can't wait to get my hands on it

Could you give a little bit of explanation about the hall effect?

Dude soo many things in this vid I could ask about lol… w the N64 8bitdo mod, can it be used w an original control stick, or do you have to use the new inferior one? I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone use the mod w/out the stick… my vision is to 8bitdo mod but w a rebuilt og stick for the best of both.. you seem like someone that understands these details lol. Thanks.

Rumble takeaway is interesting… GameCube just had one motor right in the middle of the controller, this has two in the handles.. subtle rumble directly in the center makes the controller feel incredibly balanced when Gamecubin, maybe more to this than we thought.

Damn I can’t wait! ..mines on the way!.. They actually made serious moves w this one, that stick tension blows my mind!.. just what even were the previous BattlerGC controllers compared to this!? ..I never even gave em a thought… This, was an immediate hell yes! Deserves a buy for the effort alone lol. Ima try usin this controller for everything! Great thorough Review, good finds, hopefully theyre able to get some of these minor bugs workd out.

I thought the analog tuner to pick up over the air broadcast signals defined a TV over a monitor, which just displays a video output

I've been thinking about getting this chip, but every place selling it seems very sketchy. 😛

S-video can really shine on certain CRTs, it's funny, I prefer S-Video from my N64 on my small 10" CRT shadowmask vs my 21" trinitron (slightly edges out RGB on the same 21" too). For me RGB has none of the spill over that red on edges in S-Video shows, it's immaculate. Btw PAL S-Video is a nice step-up from NTSC S-Video if you have a CRT that supports it, like really closes the gap in on RGB but it's a pain to get setup as you either have to mod an existing cable with some additional caps+resistors or buy an expensive custom made cable.

Very informative! Thank you!

The SNES and N64 boxes and manuals never mentioned one peep about those systems taking S-Video. I'm impressed Nintendo thought to include S-Video for the SNES back in 1991, that was still a very new kind of hookup back then and most TVs didn't have it at the time, right?

Thanks! Will try this ASAP!

The 300 series Wegas are really beautiful. It took me years but I got the FV310 model and absolutely love it. Hopefully one day you can find another one

You still have this Colortrak running to this day? Looks gorgeous. I have one as well I did a quick video on. Grew up on these. Beautiful craftsmanship.

With the RT4K, just use Enhanced S-Video with the laserbear adapter.

How is this thing holding up after over a year? May get one.

One thing I noticed after filming was that RGB had a slight green tint in Sheik's hair, whereas S-Video was more orange. This could be due to the fact that S-Video still kind of smooths the colors together, whereas RGB is more defined. Not sure though - thoughts? But even so, both look great. 💪

Takeaways from this video; 1) RGB marginally sharper than S-video. 2) CRTs rule when it comes to N64 graphics

Would be good to see a comparison between your oled (retrotink using scanlines and slot masks) and then the crt.

You can whatever you look through a scope. It's not incorrect and it's vague enough.

Most people avoid RPTVs due to concerns over weight, size, and quality, but I found ones after 2001 to be of notably good screen quality when adjusted correctly, especially Sony's Grand Wegas, the Sony Qualis RPTVs, and the Sony SXRD RPTVs.

I can't believe after a few minutes of watching this video it turns out this guy is using this set for gaming!! Good God. This set is designed to watch movies and old tv shows when I purchase mine back in 2007. Why cant you knuckle head gamers do your gaming on today's flat screen tvs...! Bigger screen for the games you want to play ..boys and girls.

Thanks!

I once saw a gray boxy monitor (it had an obscure brand i do not remember) that was used as survelliance monitor of a prison (it had still a prison asset tag on it) it accepted component instead of composite. Strange.

In Germany a company named Loewe did those things quite often. They would re-use most of the chassis of a TV-set, as well as the case to build monitors and terminals for it. I think the design of the one I have even was re-used for a PC clone they sold.

Is the faux wood thing a cabinet, or the actual TV? The TV-frame looks nice, but I would definitely ditch the wood if it can be separated.

how was rumble controller shake hard or to light?

Cool monitor!

cool find, yea that looks just like a tv with stripped features. maybe meant for presentation purpose for the school

Great video! I've got my N64 hooked up with an S-video cable to the Rotrotink4k and every once in a while I'll get a random green line flash across the screen for a split second. Any idea what could be causing this? Otherwise the picture looks great. It doesn't do it on any other inputs connected to the TV or Retrotink.
