Your Hardware Doesn't Change.
Everything Gets Smarter.

In 1990, Game Genie sat between your cartridge and your console — it didn't change either one, but it made both better. PCI does the same thing, 35 years later, with 48 trillion operations per second of dedicated intelligence. Plug it in. Everything you already own levels up.

1990 — Game Genie

The Original Pass-Through

A plastic cartridge that plugged between your game and your NES. It intercepted data in transit and enhanced it in real-time. Didn't modify the game. Didn't modify the console. The court ruled it legal precisely because it was non-destructive and ephemeral. 5 million units sold. Nintendo paid $15M in damages for trying to stop it.

2026 — Kr0n0z PCI

Intelligence In The Middle

A pocket-sized device that plugs into your gaming setup via USB-C. It intercepts, predicts, and enhances every data flow between your hardware components. Doesn't replace your GPU. Doesn't replace your SSD. Doesn't replace your network. Makes all of them smarter. Same architecture. 48 trillion operations per second instead of a lookup table.

Game Genie made your games beatable.
PCI makes your hardware intelligent.

9 Hardware Assists. One Device.

PCI does the computational work your existing hardware can't do for itself.

GPU Assist

Shader Pre-Compilation

PCI pre-compiles shader variants before your GPU needs them. No first-launch stutter. No 5–20 minute shader compilation screens. Content-hash invalidation means driver updates only recompile the 2–5% that actually changed.

shader_cache • 1,150 lines
SSD Assist

Predictive World Streaming

5 prediction strategies track where you're heading and pre-fetch sectors before the game asks. Trajectory extrapolation, heading cone, adjacency flooding, historical transitions, portal proximity. Your SSD read is already done.

world_streamer • 550 lines
RAM Assist

99.5% Save Compression

Semantic delta diffing at the game state structure level — not byte-level, but key-level. An 86KB save becomes a 457-byte delta. 1.2ms save, 0.9ms load. Same RAM holds 200x more state history.

save_engine • 941 lines
CPU Assist

Mod Conflict Resolution

Four-severity detection across file overwrites, script hooks, system overlaps, and missing dependencies. Topological sort for optimal load order. Your CPU stays free for game logic while PCI handles the analysis.

mod_resolver • 1,049 lines
Network Assist

Predictive Gap-Filling

When packets are late or lost, PCI fills the gap with dead reckoning, quadratic extrapolation, pattern matching, and behavioral prediction. Smooth reconciliation when real data arrives. Network "feels" like 0ms even at 50ms actual.

net_predictor • 1,925 lines
Display Assist

Contextual Companion

Stuck detection monitors area time, repeated deaths, low action rate, quest stalls. 6-level spoiler control from "nudge" to "full walkthrough." All on-device, no cloud round-trip. Drives overlay or secondary display without touching framerate.

game_companion • 550 lines
Input Assist

Player Intelligence

Cross-game persistent profiling. Bartle taxonomy classification. Per-system difficulty calibration based on your actual performance history. Fatigue detection from reaction time trends. Sensitivity suggestions. Never overrides — only assists.

player_profile • 869 lines
Replay Assist

Structured Telemetry

"Show me every triple kill on this map." Not video scrubbing — structured, queryable game events at sub-ms speed. Heatmaps, pattern detection across 50+ matches, auto-detected key moments, exportable highlight reels.

replay_engine • 2,066 lines
Orchestrator

The Bridge

All 8 assists coordinated in a single <2ms tick pipeline. Pre-launch optimizer gets everything ready before frame 1. Performance monitor tracks exactly how much time PCI saved you. One daemon. Every hardware touchpoint. Always running.

Market Analysis — March 2026

There Are Zero Competitors.

Nobody makes a dedicated AI gaming co-processor. NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel build NPUs into CPUs — general-purpose, not gaming-aware. Capture cards record video. Stream Decks push buttons. PCI is the first device purpose-built to make every piece of gaming hardware smarter. A new category.
