My short impressions with the new Retrotink 5X PRO ver. 4.0 CRT firmware. If you prefer CRT (sim) effects over sharp pixels then it's IMO worth the update. The difference is quite noticeable thanks to the new features. Keep in mind there are some limitations - check posts below

PixelFX made a couple of announcements via newsletter today A new scaler: Morph 2k - 1080p scaler for $199. Pre-order in June this year. Auto sampling feature still in development. No info about Auto Phase. No release date for infinity switch www.pixelfx.co/post/pixel-f...

Update on the Morph 4K Crosspoint with analog-in AND out. The project is on pause for uncertain period of time due to discontinued parts If you don't want to wait any longer you can grab the OSSC Pro(Q2 2026) + Extra AV board (in stock) here: 👇(check second post)

I understand not everyone has the money for a high-end retro gaming scaler but before buying any of these $10 cheap PS2 adapters I would rather save some money ($80) and get the GBS-C. Here is Bob's latest review (from yesterday) of the GBS-C by Mcbazel👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzl5...

🔴Big update of my 4K Retro Gaming Scalers Review - Retested many features - Restructered Costs & Summary category - Added rating per feature/cat. - Updated info/rating Now it should be much easier to understand the differences between the scalers Link👉 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The OSSC Pro AV input card with RF input is now in stock: videogameperfection.com/products/leg... Check the info below befor ordering it. Also the next batch of OSSC Pro is going to be delayed probably until Q2 2026. Only 15 in stock right now. So better grab one if you don't want to wait.

Testing new OSSC Pro 0.82 firmware - not released to the public yet! I asked Marqs to implement Line 6x for PAL games in LM-Adaptive mode. The results speak for themselves🔥 I will update profiles once new firmware dropped.

Reminder about improving Wii image sharpness: If you plan to buy a high quality scaler or install a HDMI mod in order to achieve a sharper output using USBLoaderGX homebrew is IMO a must as you can see looking at the four images. Upscaling and 480p bug fix is just half the battle

Marqs dropped a firmware update for the original OSSC and I missed it.👀Before you update I recommend to read Bob's retroRGB article: retrorgb.com/ossc-firmwar... Firmware download: github.com/marqs85/ossc... Merry Christmas!🎅

I have updated my retro gaming scaler review including the latest bigger updates of all three scalers. No changes to the overall score except for "OSSC Pro Profiles & Features."

Some of you asked me about the settings of the image on the right. Here is the Retrotink 4k PRO & CE BVM profile: drive.google.com/file/d/12kkh... Don't forget to adjust gain after loading the profile: www.youtube.com/watch?t=424&...

A new Retrotink 4K Pro & CE exp. firmware released with the new spatial rest. mask feature which additionally minimizes brightness loss. Night and day difference when e-conserve scanlines and spatial mask combined🔥SDR output! (HDR disabled!)

Here is another example of the Retrotink 4k CE & Pro E-Conserve scanlines vs standard scanlines. Both images are direct captures with HDR disabled on the R4k. The difference in brightness is quite significant. 👀

Mike just released a new Retrotink 4k Pro & CE exp. firmware update: retrotink-llc.github.io/firmware/4k-... E-Conserve scanlines are a game changer. HDR disbaled(!), BVM scanlines and mask. Both images are direct captures just to showcase the difference in brightness.

Here it is!🔥 OSSC Pro NTSC & PAL Profiles 2025-11-28👈 1. Update firmware to 0.81 or newer (MUST!): github.com/marqs85/ossc... 2. Profiles download: drive.google.com/file/d/1qJSi... 3.

Looks like the release of the Morph 4k Crosspoint got pushed back. Going by the latest news there will be no update until well into Q2 2026 If you don't want to wait any longer to downscale your games VGP is going to sell refurbished OSSC Pro units with 25% discount tomorrow. Link👇

Hadware emulation? What about OG N64 hardware rgb modded and paired with scalers like the OSSC Pro😎 OSSC Pro profiles creation slowed down a bit due to my scart switch having issues so I had no choice but to replace it. Good news is I'm back on track close to the finish line.

The Retrotink Dreamcast 480p dongle is on sale! 👀 www.retrotink.com/shop/hd15-do...

As with Retrotink 4K profiles you're going to have optional OSSC Pro profiles to fix the aspect ratio of bad PS1 PAL ports. Parasite Eve 2 is a great example for a lazy pal port 🥴

The first episode of the new Digital Foundry Retro Super Show #1: PlayStation 2 25th Anniversary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqtL... MyLifeinGaming crew also joined the podcast. btw I'm feeling honored that my Retrotink 4K CE, Morph 4K and OSSC Pro Review is a part of the episode. ☺️

Thanks to GBI color matrix feature we can also apply different color schemes with OSSC Pro profiles. 🔥 1. OSSC Pro sharp profile 2. OSSC Pro LCD GBA profile + GBI GBA color matrix I am going to include the GBI dcp config file with GBA and GBA SP color matrix.

Looks like I missed a few details when creating PSP profiles. The shadow mask preview in bool.space/mister/Shado... is displayed differently on the OSSC Pro. Here are all 4x OSSC Pro PSP profiles with all corrections applied.

The experience I gained with creating R4k profiles helped me a lot with OSSC Pro profiles. It's straight forward basically. PSP LCD Profiles 👇

Besides sharp profiles I also plan to add CRT profiles thanks to @kurohouou.bsky.social and their permission to use their work to create CRT profiles for the OSSC Pro. 🔥

Not everyone uses a HDMI adapter with the GameCube for different reasons so I thought why not create some OSSC Pro GameCube analog profiles? 👀The images show component output (via swiss) but I also have users covered who use RGB scart, S-Video cable or don't have access to 480p

Another pack of OSSC Pro profiles finished. PlayStation 1🔥 I plan to make a guide and video tutorial on how to install and use OSSC Pro profiles. ... once all profiles are done and ready to use.

OSSC Pro SNES & SFC NTSC & PAL profiles in the bucket! 🤤 1. 256 2. 256 Square Pixels 3. 512 These are "zero" lag profiles as the majority of my profiles. Lossless image: drive.google.com/file/d/1CFGp... *Zoom in* Images show SNES 1Chip RGB modded output (no ghosting fix)

Just finished OSSC Pro Dreamcast 480p profile! 🔥🔪 Upscaled to 2560x1440p integer scale.

My next project: OSSC Pro profiles. 👀 About 30% finished. I plan to cover NTSC & PAL region and the same range of consoles as with the R4k profiles: DC, GC + GBI, GEN/MD, SMS, N64, NES, PS1, PS2, PSP, SAT, SNES, Wii, XBOX, ... and maybe few CRT profiles.

(1/3) Here are my first impressions of the upcoming Retrotink Dreamcast 480p VGA adapter. Screenshots show the output of the adapter, connected to the Retrotink 4K and upscaled to 4K. Dreamcast integer profile and gain adjusted. 🔪👀 Lossless images in the second post (2/3)👇

Retrotink 4K PRO & CE profiles UPDATE 2025-10-17. This is a great base to update to! With future updates I may add just few small tweaks or new profiles. First watch the video on how to update profiles 👇 Video: youtu.be/YPknWg4OTl8?... Profiles download: drive.google.com/file/d/19i7w...

I have added an average rating per main category (4 in total) that gives you quick look. If you're interested in details or want to make a deep dive you can checkout the other two sections shown in the image 👇

It's done and finished! 🥳 Detailed review and my final verdict about the current-gen 4K Retro Gaming Scalers: Retrotink 4K CE & Morph 4K & OSSC Pro 17 categories in total full of information, images and videos: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... I appreciate every like and retweet!😋

Judging by the infromation I collected from different sources about the Hispeedido PS1/PS2 hdmi mods: not worth the costs and effort. Scaling seemes messed up with PS2 512x resolution games. It crops the image with PS1 games 384x res games. Most likely also with 512x and 640x res

Only two retro gaming scalers support wifi: GBS-C and Morph 4K. The latter gives you the option to update firmware & profiles wireless. You can also manage microsd card content via Web Gui without removing the card. Would like to read your opinion. Checkout my second post 👇

Some good and bad news about the release of the OSSC PRO Legacy AV board with RF input. You can now buy one directly from marqs but it's uncertain if the board will be sold on VGP in the future. Details 👇 videogameperfection.com/forums/topic...

Marqs just dropped a new OSSC Pro firmware including Lumacode support for Atari GTIA and Atari VCS 👀 github.com/marqs85/ossc...

Some GBA games use flicker to create transparency. Enabling "LCD Blending" on the Retrotink 4K CE/Pro can recreate transparency with these games.👀It's not a new feature but perhaps some of you didn't know the benefit?! Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9D9...

Auto loading profiles can help save you time and provide conform with retro gaming scalers. With the Retrotink 4K CE & OSSC Pro the options are straight forward. The Morph 4K has a wider range of options. Here is how it works,the benefits and limitations based on my testing (1/7)

I have run a second temperature test with Morph 4k analog bridge installed, launch case and latest firmware. With 720p the probe temp. sitting next to FPGA is about 80C. 2C lower than last year 240p -> 1440@120Hz HDR is about 64C.The vented case decreases temp by 4C according to PFX

1/2 With my Morph 4K I noticed couple green & blue artefacts - known issue with some units. Someone was so nice to send me a short guide from the PixelFX discord to adjust internal settings which fixed the issue. I think it's worth to check your Morph4k output. Instructions 2/2👇

Both Extra AV out and Legacy AV In expansion cards for OSSC Pro have been re-stocked at VGP. Extra out - videogameperfection.com/products/ext... Legacy in - videogameperfection.com/products/leg...

I did some testing with my profiles and the new Retrotink 4K PRO & CE seamless resolution switch. It works!😎 but more testing is needed.

A few weeks ago I compared the transition when a resolution switch occurs on all three scalers Morph 4K, Retrotink 4K CE & OSSC Pro: bsky.app/profile/wobb... With latest R4K 4K (CE) exp.firmware update the transition is now seamless🔥I plan to do more testing with my R4k profiles.

If you don't want to spend more money to access RGB output with consoles like N64 or NES composite is the best option left. Here is my observation on how the Morph 4K, Retrotink 4K CE and OSSC Pro scaler handle CVBS/composite. 👇👇👇

S-Video is often overlooked but still relevant with consoles like Nintendo 64. So here is how the Morph 4K, Retrotink 4K CE and OSSC Pro handle S-Video. The OSSC Pro requires an additional adapter to support S-Video.

Couple days ago I covered the differences in the profiles management of the Retrotink 4K CE and Morph 4K: bsky.app/profile/wobb... Today we will have a look how analog profiles are actually configured with both scalers. The information should be also helpful to Morph 4k users 👇

Here is a Morph 4K feature I like as profile creator: Auto Triple Buffer. Let's say you have one profile with PAL 50 Hz & NTSC 60Hz settings configured. The Morph auto switches output to 50Hz or 60Hz depending on the input. So you don't have to switch output refresh rate.

Correctly adjusted gain can make a huge difference depending on the analog console.With the Morph 4K as the Retrotink 4K CE gain can be adjusted automatically Results with RGB scoures are almost identical.With YPbPr sources the Morph doesn't apply gain fully/correctly www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BmK...

I rarely touch the topic "Audio" unless I notice something unusual. In this case it's an issue with the Morph 4k and unrelated to it with the Hydra 2 rev RGB scart switch. Check the slides and video first. Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0qA... RCA audio controller: www.amazon.com/JAMHER-Unive...
