Wobbling Pixels’ Updated Retrotink 4K PRO & CE Profiles & Tutorial

Wobbling Pixels has just uploaded a complete overhaul of his RetroTINK 4K profiles, as well as a 30-min tutorial on how to use them. This pack separates PAL & NTSC profiles, as well as offers different choices for both 4K Pro and CE owners.  To install them, connect your current TINK SD card to your PC, search for “Wobbling Pixels” and delete all files and folders found with that name.  Then choose which folder from the zip that corersponds with your setup (such as 4K CE, NTSC) and extract that to the root of the SD card.  Then confirm when asked to replace files and folders.  That’s it, just about a minute’s worth of work and you’re fully upgraded!  More info after the links:

While you certainly don’t need custom profiles for your RT4K to look good, these profiles – as well as the many others from RetroTINK enthusiasts around the world – offer a 1-click way to get settings dialed in that would normally take a lot of time, so try not to take them for granted and make sure to give WP a follow wherever you prefer!  Check out the full list of updates and changes to the pack below:
