Decimation factor set to 3 and Prescale set to 3.
Note: NSO N64 games render at 720p, using this profile is for use with scanlines to approximate the look on a CRT, not for additional sharpness.
If you want a sharper picture, use the default profile.

Decimation Factor set to 4 and Prescale set to 1/4.
This profile allows for a 13x scale of GBA games at 2160p.
Using the Switch's original options and an unedited output to the TINK 4k would only allow for a 12x scale (6x in 1080p line doubled to 12x in 2160p)

Advanced Features
Deinterlacer / Film Mode Setup
Motion Adaptive Settings
Motion Adaptive settings apply only to the Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing mode, allowing you to adjust it to your liking.
- Sensitivity - Adjusts the sensitivity of Motion Adaptive, between Min, Medium, High and Max. The higher this is set, the more weaving will be present for moving parts of the screen, at the benefit of a stabler look for static parts of the screen. Many games will look just fine on the Min. setting, however several games may require Medium or higher. For example, Burnout 3: Takedown on PlayStation 2 has a subtle flickering and animated noise that throws off the Motion Adaptive Deinterlacer for still parts of the screen.
Notes
Deinterlacer -> -> Motion Adaptive Settings -> Sensitivity
(medium and high options might be might be reversed)
Controls combing effect at costs of sharpness. Low = less combing.
Deinterlacer -> -> Motion Adaptive Settings -> Interpolator:
Basically controls how the "bob" portion of the MA is calculated. The bob is either taken from the line above, line below or the average of the upper and lower lines
BFI. It's a matter of preference. I think either Top or Bottom interpolator looks a little sharper. Average is softer
In the end it doesn't matter too much because Bob is only used during motion when it is hard to see detail anwyays
Deinterlacer -> Motion Adaptive Settings -> Detector:
This is a little complicated to explain... but let me try
basically symmetric adds one frame of lag but the motion detection may be better. Because it is looking "one field into the future"
idk if its really better tho
in real life
HDMI -> BFI Control
-Strobe: How much the frame is divided down (i.e. 1 = divide by 2, 2 = divide by 3, 3 = divide by 4) from input to output
-Blur: How many frames are ON vs OFF. So let's say we are converting 60 Hz -> 240 Hz. Blur = 1, ON, OFF, OFF, OFF. Blur = 2 is ON, ON, OFF, OFF
-LCD Saver - inverts the pattern of the BFI to avoid renetion. But every few minutes u will see a flicker
