      If your RetroTINK 2X resets itself, the power supply might be insufficient. Try using a different USB port that provides at least 1 amp of current, or purchase a dedicated power supply.

      If your RetroTINK 2X Game Console shows no image, it could be because a 480p (or higher) signal is being fed in. The RetroTINK 2X only supports 240p and 480i signals, so change the input resolution.

      If your RetroTINK Game Console displays no image or a distorted image, transcoding mode may be selected on the HDMI device. Select line double mode, as most HDMI devices do not support 240p via HDMI.

    Why does my RetroTINK 2X Game Console image have a vertical flicker?
    • C
      Craig AndersonAug 22, 2025
      If the image on your RetroTINK 2X Game Console has a vertical flicker or shimmer effect, it's likely due to an interlace source being connected. This is a normal side effect of lag-free deinterlacing, so no action is required.
