https://retrorgb.com/retrotink-wireless-control-donutshop-retro-bridge.html
Ever feel like your RetroTINK setup is a bit too… tethered? If you’re tired of crawling behind your TV every time you want to swap a setting, there’s some sweet news for the retro gaming crowd.
Two new DIY-friendly projects, DonutShop and Retro-Bridge, are officially bringing wireless control to the RetroTINK 6x and 4K. Essentially, these solutions allow you to tweak your settings without the physical struggle of manual button-mashing on the device itself.
Here’s the quick breakdown of your options:
- DonutShop: Uses an Arduino Nano ESP32 to pass serial commands via USB or VGA. It’s a great pick for those who want a robust, dedicated controller setup.
- Retro-Bridge: Utilizes a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W to bridge the gap, offering another way to command your scaler wirelessly.
A quick heads-up for the gear nerds: if you’re rocking the 6x CE, you’ll need to wait for an upcoming VGA adapter to make this work. Otherwise, grab a USB splitter and start enjoying the luxury of sitting on your couch while your hardware does the heavy lifting.
