There is a new collection of shaders that create a unique visual effect on Game Boy Color emulation: it seeks to mimic the experience of playing the original (non-backlit) device in a sunlit environment. This video will show you how to set up the Pixel Transparency Sunlight Shimmer shader on your favorite Android-based emulation handheld.
