    No problem! I’m sorry too for not updating this thread. 🙂
    I updated the Firmware on my RetroTink2x and actually, the best thing about the update is that it now remembers the input I last used – no more changing från S-Video to Composite every time I start it up! Worth the update just for that!

    But now I also have the new input mode for PAL60. And it works great with my PAL N64 playing NTSC-games!
    Really recommend everybody that has the old firmware to get it updated!

    Here’s some pictures of my setup:
    Using Everdrive 64, I boot up in regular 50hz mode:

    This is what it looks like in 50Hz-mode (that’s what I was stuck with on old firmware):

    Changing to PAL60-mode on the RetroTink I got this instead:

    Notice how it’s very cropped to the right, but hey, at least it’s in color, I thought. But then I remembered: I have some setting on my Projector as well…
    And great success!

    My projector even remembers the settings separately for PAL50 and PAL60 mode, so I only had to change these setting once and now it’s all good!
    Only thing I wish for now is that the RetroTink would autodetect the input mode, so I didn’t have to push any button at all on it, but hey, this works totally fine too!

    Here’s some more example pictures:

    PAL Composite modded Atari 2600: (the shadows is from the mod not being properly adjusted, will fix that later)

    And here’s a quick test of PAL N64 running NTSC game – this was before I figured out I could change the image width:
