History
RetroTINK is described as a producer of retro console compatibility hardware. Its founder, Mike Chi, describes himself as an old school electrical engineer and an even older school gamer, whose obsession after a 15 year hiatus is to create products that enable reliving childhood video games on modern AV equipment. In 2018, RetroTINK released the 2X, described as its first "mainstream" product — an affordable line-doubler that converts the signal from retro-consoles to a format modern TVs can display, with minimal lag and visual distortions. The brand is named after Tinky, Mike Chi's Holland Lop rabbit.
