chip8_screen_mat

Unlit screen surface for the CHIP-8 kiosk panel. Binds the committed `chip8_screen` texture; the Chip8 component blits the live framebuffer into that texture's GPU identity every frame.

⌬ Metadata
descriptionEmulator screen surface: an unlit material that displays the CHIP-8 framebuffer texture at full brightness, unaffected by scene lighting — green phosphor pixels on a near-black ground. Bind it to any flat panel that should act as the CHIP-8 display.

# retro A pluggable multi-console emulation system: the `RetroConsole` arcade cabinet, the `emulatorCore` asset type consoles plug into, the shared host machinery, and two machine cores (CHIP-8, NES). Install this package, drop the cabinet on a panel, and every emulator core installed in the world shows up in one cartridge loader — one screen, one machine running at a time. ## What installs - **`RetroConsole.component`** — the cabinet. One screen, one loader spanning every installed console, engage/release controls (Esc), letterboxed display, per-console battery saves and cartridge libraries. See its README for the drop-on-a-panel quick start. - **`emulatorCore.assetType`** — the console plug. A core is an asset carrying its spec (extensions, resolution, fps, `make`, input map, battery accessors); publishing one in any package adds that console to every cabinet in the world. The contract is documented in the type's README. - **`chip8_core.emulatorCore` / `nes_core.emulatorCore`** — the shipped consoles (the Game Boy core registers from `gameboy.package` as `gameboy_core.emulatorCore`). - **`chip8.module`** — CHIP-8 machine: 35 opcodes, configurable quirks, 128×64 phosphor framebuffer, beeper voice. - **`nes.module`** — NES machine: cycle-exact 6502 (nestest golden log), scanline PPU with loopy scroll + sprite-0 hit, APU voice model, controllers, mappers NROM/MMC1/UNROM/CNROM, battery PRG-RAM. - **`host.module`** — the shared machinery (`require("retro.host")`): the cabinet engine (`Console`), the core registry, and the units both the cabinet and standalone console components compose — `Display`, `RomLibrary`, `Pacer`, `Saves`, `MidiVoices`, `LoaderUi`, `Host`. - **`console_screen.texture` / `console_screen_mat.material`** — the cabinet's screen surface. ## Machine contract A core's `make(romBytes)` returns a machine with `m:runFrame()` advancing one video frame and `m.title` naming it for saves/status; the spec's `framebuffer(m)` exposes the RGBA8 buffer the cabinet blits. The `emulatorCore.assetType` README documents the full spec table.

Did the part work as advertised when consumers tried to drop it in. Separate from upvotes: those are taste; this is "did it function".
