I was watching a video recently on these shaders which look fantastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNmJ0n-QMCY

However it got me thinking - Does Kodi support HDR output for Games currently as it's a pre-req for this to work. I know it'll switch over to HDR for a video source that supports it but i'm guessing there's no native HDR support in many of these emulators so wondering what the scope of work could look like to get us into a place to support these types of shaders.

I mean, technically Kodi games work with HDR since https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/23467 .

However, recognize that a retro game is usually 5-bit color to fit in a 16-bit word, so scaling to 10-bit color doesn't change anything visually if it's done right (which now it is). You might get the expected deeper blacks and brighter highlights that come with HDR but that's from rendering in HDR, not any retro game fidelity.

Garbear did you get a chance to look into Rumble for controllers at all ? It works in menu but not in game for my 8bitdo pro 2.

No, since the Kademlia success near the beginning of September I haven't had much time for Kodi.
