This repository was created (and is maintained) by a monster. Their brain worms are akin to Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, forcing their host to perfectly rotate and crop their MiSTer games before they are allowed autonomy. Their suffering is your gain - congratulations.
Unzip the pack of your choice into the profile/DV1 folder on your Retrotink 4K's SD Card.
Make sure your MiSTer has direct_video=1 enabled in your MiSTer.ini and that Auto-Load DV1 Profiles is set to ON in the Retrotink's Profile Menu.
These profiles require Tink4K firmware 1.9.3 or later and should be compatible with both the CE and Pro models (although you won't get rotation on the CE).
Unzip the files into /media/fat/config/dips
I have a Mister Pi (Dual Ram) from RetroRemake hooked up to a generic Amazon Switch which is then hooked up to a 77" LG CX in PC Mode.
The God's Chosen profile works fine in this setup.
All profile adjustments are cataloged on this Google Sheet. It should be noted that manually cropped games may not match the resolution reported by the core - but they will match the content.

- Billgonzo's GBA 13x profile for GBA
- Billgonzo's GBC 15x profile for GBC

- VRR
- Genlock
- Target Decimation Set to 1600 for all console profiles.
Identical to Standard except for
- Deep Color
(This is the profile the creator uses. If your TV supports Deep Color and VRR, you should use it too.)
Aside from setting Target Decimation to 1600? Nothing. They look fine to my brain worms.
You need to install the Dip Switch pack.
There are two possibilities here.
First, I may have just missed it. I am (mostly) human and there are 900+ games here - I probably missed something.
Another possibility is that Toaplan (and Toaplan adjacent) games don't play well with direct video. Most cannot be decimated, cropped, or rotated correctly. Until they receive updates, there isn't much I can do.
In either case, please file an issue for the non-rotated profile (if one doesn't exist already). This will help me immensely.
Probably because the game was released after I released a pack for the month. I'm going to try to release around the beginning of every month, but that means that there will be a period of time every month where new cores aren't yet in the zip.
In those instances, I will try to keep the /Raw Files/To Be Released/[name of pack] up to date with any new cores that aren't in the latest zipfile. If you don't want to wait for a formal release, you can download the individual profiles there and add them to your SD card.
(But - and look me in the eye here - if you don't have the stamina to adjust one or two games yourself, what are we even doing here?)
Totally. Please post an issue for the combo you'd like. If an issue already exists, just +1 it. If something gets a bunch of votes, or I find it interesting, I'll make a set and add it to the releases.
- Kuro Houou, Billgonzo, and Fox 83 for their profiles.
- Matt Retrogamer who's script makes this whole thing less painful.
- Mike Chi for reminding us to just play the dang games.
