Firmware Upgrade
The RT5X has the ability to upgrade the firmware over USB using a PC-based application. No
special tools are needed. RetroTINK does not support Mac OS or any other platform/tool/
protocol/standard/format and has no plans to do so.
Firmware upgrades requires that the RT5X be started in bootloader mode. Hold the ‘Menu
Button’ down while connecting the RT5X to a PC via a microUSB cable. The LED indicator
should remain solid RED.
Follow the instructions on the RetroTINK website to complete the update process. If the
upgrade process fails, simply restart by powering off the device and re-entering the
bootloader. It is not possible that a genuine RetroTINK device can be ‘bricked’ by a failed
firmware update.
To exit bootloader mode without upgrading, disconnect the microUSB cord from the RT5X
and reinsert without holding the ‘Menu Button’ down.
Details and files may be found on www.retrotink.com once firmware updates are released.
ONLY UPDATE THE RT5X USING THE PROVIDED SOFTWARE. ATTEMPTS TO FLASH THE
FIRMWARE USING OTHER METHODS WILL RESULT IN NON-WARRANTY DEVICE
FAILURE.
