Upscaling Enhancer

DREZ produces inter-quality anti-aliased polygons for a much better matching between upscaled 3D and 2D elements.

Sinden Lightgun Enabler

Hassle-free support for the world first true LCD compatible lightgun, no additional plugins required.

Modern Games Support

Go beyond retro-gaming and envision new pixel art masterpieces in a new way via WindowCast core injection.

Diffuse / Phosphor layer

The default (Or custom) diffuse image can be used to simulate CRT phosphor. It is also effected by the ambient light, just like the real thing.

Tube / Bezel shadow

If desired, a shadow from the surrounding bezel can add even more realism.

Screen Reflection Image

To complete the simulation, a screen reflection image can add the final ingredient.

Transparent Gel Layer

For systems that used them, a gel image can be composited over the screen, with normal, multiply, or additive blending parameters to give just the right look.

Ambient Light / Night Lighting

Two ambient lighting layers, “Near” for the bezel or monitor, and “Far” for the background, give total control over your night lighting.

Monochrome

Shader parameters let you tweak monochrome games, or convert color output to monochrome. Additional color parameters let you choose the perfect look for your classic games.

Grade Color Control

Integration of the “Grade” shader gives the user complete control over color temperature, saturation, gamut, etc.

Advanced Curvature

Cylindrical curvature, spherical curvature, and outer curvature scale, let you choose just the right style for your favorite vintage displays.

Handhelds Rampage

Portable titles run in a preferential lane with distinctive low resolution and visible pixels simulating LCD grid.

Boot Animation

Experience a subtle transition from static to your contents as the system simulates a vintage startup. With or without a custom graphic.

In my memory it felt way better.”
