About RetroTrace by CRTGang

RetroTrace adds a retro-styled game identification and reference panel to YouTube. Identify the game in a video from its title, from a clue you type, or by analyzing the current video frame. When supported, Chrome's built-in on-device Local AI can turn messy video text or visual clues from the current frame into a likely game title. AI results may not always be accurate. RetroTrace then searches Wikidata for game information and Wikimedia Commons for available media. Features: • Identify games from the current YouTube video title • Identify games by analyzing the current YouTube video frame • Optional Chrome on-device Local AI identification • Describe what you see and let Local AI suggest the game title • Search and select matching games manually • View game details sourced from Wikidata • Browse available Wikimedia Commons images with attribution • Optional in-player RetroTrace interface on YouTube • Draggable and resizable retro-styled overlay Privacy: RetroTrace does not read YouTube transcripts, comments, or account data. Video-frame analysis only occurs when you explicitly choose to identify the current frame. Local AI identification uses Chrome's built-in on-device AI when available, and the selected frame or game clue is not sent to a cloud AI service. Online game lookups are sent only to Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.
