AV:RetroTINK-4K/Firmware History

This page includes the latest RetroTINK-4K firmware update, as well as all past firmwares if you need them. Use this page to revert back to an older version, or to see a complete list of changes and additions to the RT4K since its release.

For the initial update from the launch firmware, it is recommended to update by pressing and holding the reset button as you insert the USB cord rather than through the menu.

Version 1.0.8

• Originally released January 8th, 2024
• Click here to download

Patch notes:

• "Wide Tolerance" added to Video ADC Menu
  • Replaces older Slow Lock Function
  • Helps lock on to badly behaved sources like NEOGEO and Atari 2600/7800
  • Should be left off unless needed. May have unintended side effects for normal sources
• Fixed cop for new LCD modes to lock out H. Interp options
• Fixed proper half-phase offset in rotational modes since H and V kernel controls are swapped in RoTaTE
• MiSTer DV1 controls broken out
  • Auto decimation can be turned off
  • Auto crop can be turned off
• MiSTer DV1 core name now displayed as part of mode name
• HDCP only activates after a few seconds of continous raw HDCP frames detected

Version 1.0.6

• Originally released January 6th, 2024
• Click here to download

Patch notes:

• Interpolation, Scanline, LCD and Mask effects automatically rotate CW or CCW when RoTaTe is on
• Forced PAR and allow DAR to OFF for MiSTer Generic DV1
• Compensated for decimation change when MiSTer menu is open in 1:1 PAR mode
• Unlocked Auto-crop controls in menu for HDMI sources
• New LCD effects
  • Second mono LCD pattern with adjustable horizontal size
  • GBR and RGB patterns
• Fixed RoTaTe CW crop bug
• 1440p120 changed to CVT-rb timing
• 4K50 and 1080p50 changed to CEA-861 with extra blanks instead of using their 60 Hz versions
• Changed HDCP Alert

Version 1.0.5

• Originally released January 6th, 2024
• Click here to download

Patch notes:

• Enabled auto-crop for HDMI sources
  • AUX1 - vertical trim only
  • AUX2 - crop active and stretch to 4:3
  • AUX3 - crop active and stretch to 16:9
• Adjusted auto-crop algorithm
• 1080p -> 1440p120 CVT-rb works now

Version 1.0.4

• Originally released January 3rd, 2024
• Click here to download

Patch notes:

• Fixed hidden '.' file bug introduced when using the SD card with Mac OS X.
• MiSTer DV1 detected and parsed
  • Can be disabled in HDMI RX menu, default on
  • Automatically tunes the crops (if core provides info) and takes control of the decimation factor
  • New HDMI modes entries added for MiSTer DVI (240p, 288p, 480i, 576i and unknown/generic)
  • https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/issues
• Added 32 kHz audio sample rate detection (diagnostics page needs to be fixed, since it still displays 44.1 kHz)
• Various FPGA optimizations and added the ability to override DE with DV1 info

Version 1.0.2

• Originally released December 15th, 2023
• Click here to download

Patch notes:

• Fixed file handler to ignore files/directories that start with '.'
• Added warning when disabling BFI minimum frame rate limit.
• Fixed auto-decimation bug with PS1 MiSTer core
  • NOTE: Because MiSTer does not send the correct de-repetition (along with crop) meta data, you will need to manually set it in the HDMI receiver menu.
  • Usually Input Pixels = 4/Output Pixels = 1 is sufficent unless you need 1:1 PAR modes (i.e. emulating LCD) in which case, you will need to figure out the exact number

Version 1.0.1

• Originally released December 12th, 2023
• Click here to download

Patch notes:

• Fixed SD card read freeze bug due to unexpected read latency/timeouts
• blizzz's name fixed
• Option to disable min. BFI rate cop
• For the initial update from the launch firmware, it is recommended to update by pressing and holding the reset button as you insert the USB cord rather than through the menu.
