WhatA standardized test-pattern hardware kit and software pipeline that photographs real retro screens (Game Boy, GBC, GBA) under controlled lighting to generate physically accurate shader profiles for emulators.
SignalThere is a clear desire among retro gaming enthusiasts for shaders that faithfully reproduce the look of original hardware screens, but no one has systematically captured the optical characteristics of these displays under varied conditions to build accurate models.
Why NowRetro gaming emulation is mainstream (Steam Deck, MiSTer FPGA, RetroArch), shader technology in emulators has matured enough to consume high-fidelity display models, and second-hand retro hardware is still available but becoming scarcer.
MarketEmulator developers, RetroArch shader authors, and retro gaming hardware makers (Analogue, MiSTer community); niche TAM ~$5-10M; current shaders are hand-tuned guesses with no systematic calibration competitor.
MoatProprietary dataset of measured display characteristics across hundreds of hardware units and lighting conditions — extremely tedious to replicate.
