Examples

Color restoration

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

This game reduces contrast when played with Game Boy Player enhancements.

--input-gamma=1.
--output-gamma=1.
--contrast=1.1

Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Advance 4

This game reduces gamma when played without Game Boy Player enhancements.

--input-gamma=2.8

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons

This game reduces gamma when played on a Game Boy Advance. Due to Game Boy Color limitations, only shadows can be restored perfectly.

--input-gamma=4.

This can be combined with Gambatte/higan's color correction as a special case.

--matrix=gbc
--input-gamma=1.8
--output-gamma=1.

Video optimization

Open Source Scan Converter

--format=hd60
--scan-mode=non-interlace

XRGB-mini Framemeister

Included as gbihf-xrgb.cli, gbihf-xrgb.dol+cli and gbihf-xrgb.gci. Refer to FirebrandX for configuration.
