Hi!

For those who heard about or own the device, you are aware the SCART port on the RetroTINK 5x-pro is upside down. I read somewhere that you can, and i quote: "reverse the head of the cable by undoing the screw and snipping a bit of the plastic and putting it back together reversed."

I'm going to buy Insurrection scart cables, since they are very affordable in canada.

Is this procedure safe? Can you really reverse the head? Is this a smart move, or is it plain stupid?

Awesome. The fact that it's Bob approved and you don't need to import makes it a great solution.
