Game Gear SMS mode LCD emulation script
Post Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2022 3:13 pm
I wrote a little script in python that takes a 256x192 or 256x224 image and simulates the scaling and blur effect of the Game Gear display.

This is mostly for fun and as a technical reference. There are some command line options for changing the border colour and simulating the scaling without the characteristic blur.

usage: GGSimv2.py [-h] [-b colour] [-o OUTPUT] [-f] [-noblur] source

Simulate the Game Gear SMS mode scaling.

positional arguments:
  source      Source image file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -b colour   CSS3 style border colour (eg #FF0000, rgb(255,0,0), Red)
  -o OUTPUT   Output file
  -f          Generate file for first pass
  -noblur     Disable characteristic LCD blurring
