Extreme Injector
DLL injector for gaming and other uses
Extreme Injector is a software tool commonly used to inject Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) into other processes running on a Windows system. Often used in gaming and software development, this tool allows users to modify or add custom functionality to a target application by "injecting" DLL files, which can influence the application's behavior or provide additional features. Extreme Injector is popular in the gaming community for enabling modifications or "mods" in games, but it also has potential misuse in game cheating and malware deployment, as it allows for altering applications in ways the original developers may not have intended. -

Citra Emulator
A Nintendo 3DS Emulator
Citra is an experimental open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator/debugger written in C++. It is written with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Windows, Linux and macOS. Citra emulates a subset of 3DS hardware and therefore is useful for running/debugging homebrew applications, and it is also able to run many commercial games! Some of these do not run at a playable state, but we are working every day to advance the project forward. (Playable here means compatibility of at least "Okay" on our game compatibility list.) Citra is licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). Refer to the license.txt file included. Please read the FAQ before getting started with the project. If you want to contribute please take a look at the Contributor's Guide and Developer Information. You should also contact any of the developers in the forum in order to know about the current state of the emulator because the TODO list isn't maintained anymore. -

This project was originally designed to provide an open-source replacement for PPJoy. The product, at this point, consists of virtual joystick devices that is seen by the system as a standard joystick but its position-data is written to it by a feeder application. An existing feeder application that takes advantage of this product is SmartPropoPlus. If you are an application writer you can very easily write an application that controls a joystick (e.g. mouse-to-joystick, keyboard-to-joystick). If you are a beginner in device drivers you can take this code and enhance it to support more (or less) axes, buttons or POVs.

Roblox FPS Unlocker
FPS Unlocker for Roblox
FPS Unlocker for Roblox. Download the latest release, extract rbxfpsunlocker-x64.zip into a folder, run the exe before or after starting Roblox, and enjoy the beautiful frames available. All detections are false positives. Internally, RFU "tampers" with running Roblox processes in order to uncap framerate and can appear as suspicious to an anti-virus. For reasons unbeknownst to me, 32-bit builds of RFU garner many more false positive detections than 64-bit builds and are no longer included in new releases. If you don't trust me, feel free to download the repository, review the source code, and compile the project yourself with Visual Studio 2019. Otherwise, add an exception to your anti-virus for rbxfpsunlocker.exe (or the folder it is in). -

OptiScaler
OptiScaler bridges upscaling/frame gen across GPUs
OptiScaler is an open-source modding tool designed to enhance graphics performance and flexibility in modern PC games by allowing users to replace or modify built-in upscaling technologies. Instead of relying on the upscaling method originally integrated by a game developer, the software intercepts the game’s rendering pipeline and redirects it to alternative technologies chosen by the user. This makes it possible to swap technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, or Intel XeSS even if the game only supports one of them by default. The tool effectively acts as a compatibility layer between the game engine and multiple upscaling frameworks, enabling cross-GPU access to features that might otherwise be restricted to specific hardware ecosystems. In addition to replacing upscalers, OptiScaler can enable frame generation features in titles that do not officially support them, improving frame rates and perceived smoothness during gameplay. -

Source Engine
Modified source engine (2017) developed by valve and leaked in 2020
The Source Engine repository under that particular GitHub user appears to be a custom (or forked) version of a game engine — likely an engine derived from or inspired by the classic Source engine lineage (or at least the name evokes that lineage). However, publicly-available documentation, community support or clarity about the project’s scope and maturity seems limited: the repo does not clearly advertise a full engine release or wide adoption. As such, it feels more like an experimental or hobby project: potentially a work-in-progress engine or engine-in-progress reimplementation rather than a full production-ready game engine. For a developer, this means you're likely to face missing features, limited tooling, and the need to fill gaps yourself, but also that you have a chance to influence or shape the architecture as you develop. -

lsfg-vk
Lossless Scaling Frame Generation on Linux
The lsfg-vk project is a Vulkan layer developed primarily by PancakeTAS that hooks into Vulkan-based applications to enhance rendering by generating additional frames using the Lossless Scaling frame generation algorithm originally associated with the Lossless Scaling project. Instead of relying on driver-specific or hardware-accelerated upscaling, this layer intercepts Vulkan API calls and injects frame interpolation on the fly, effectively producing smoother motion in supported games and applications by creating synthetic intermediate frames. It is structured as a modular codebase with separate components for the backend, configuration UI, CLI tooling, shared logic, and the core layer implementation. Although it targets Linux environments and handhelds like Steam Deck, it depends on an existing installation of Lossless Scaling on the system to provide its frame generation logic.
