Hookshot
Native Recompilation Of The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Switch 2
Hookshot is a free, open-source native PC recompilation project that brings the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to Windows and Linux without requiring traditional console emulation. The software uses static recompilation technology to translate the game's original ARM64 code into C and compile it into a native desktop executable while recreating the console's system functionality. Hookshot features a Vulkan-based graphics renderer that supports modern GPUs, improved performance, adjustable graphics quality, and advanced rendering capabilities. Players can customize their experience with frame generation, image upscaling, ultrawide display support, keyboard and controller input, and configurable in-game settings. The application includes Hookshot Builder, which automatically compiles the game from a user's own compatible game files, prepares shaders, and provides a launcher for installing updates while preserving save data. -

Horizon includes a dedicated launcher that handles installation, updates, Microsoft account authentication, and game file preparation across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Players can customize their experience with graphics presets, extended render distances, controller support, resource packs, data packs, and native Rust mods. The platform also supports multiplayer servers, LAN connections, and AI agent interactions through a command-line interface and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Horizon uses differential testing against the original Minecraft implementation to verify gameplay accuracy. -

Zelda 64: Recompiled
Static recompilation of Majora's Mask for PC
Zelda 64: Recompiled is a specialized recompilation project built on top of N64Recomp, focused on reconstructing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and related N64 titles into native, compilable code for modern systems. It takes original game binaries and translates them into structured C code that can be compiled and run without requiring an emulator, enabling more efficient execution and deeper access to the game’s internals. The project is designed to preserve gameplay accuracy while providing opportunities for enhancement, including graphical improvements, performance optimizations, and expanded modding capabilities. By leveraging the N64Recomp framework, it benefits from a standardized approach to static recompilation while tailoring the process to the specific architecture and behavior of Zelda titles. -

Blooket Cheats
05k0nz's legacy is safe
Blooket-Cheats is a repository containing scripts and a small web interface for Blooket game modifications. It organizes cheat scripts by game mode and provides methods for loading them through bookmarklets, a GitHub Pages interface, or browser console execution. The repository includes folders for cheats, tutorials, auto-update logic, page styling, and front-end code. From a software perspective, it is a browser-script collection focused on manipulating a web game environment. However, using cheats can violate platform rules, undermine fair play, and create problems in classroom or competitive settings. It is best described neutrally as a JavaScript-based browser scripting repository rather than as a recommended gameplay tool. -

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. -

Prodigy Hack
One of the best Prodigy hacks
Prodigy Hack is a browser-based or script-driven modification tool designed to alter gameplay behavior in the Prodigy Math Game by manipulating client-side logic and data handling. It allows users to modify in-game variables such as player stats, currency, progression, and other gameplay elements through injected scripts or browser console commands. The project demonstrates how web-based educational games can be influenced through client-side execution, exposing limitations in input validation and state management. It is typically implemented as a collection of scripts that can be executed in real time while the game is running, enabling immediate changes without modifying server infrastructure. The tool is often used for experimentation, reverse engineering, or demonstrating vulnerabilities in browser-based applications. It also reflects broader concepts in web security, particularly the importance of server-side validation and secure state management. -

Stockfish
UCI chess engine
Stockfish is a free, powerful UCI chess engine derived from Glaurung 2.1. Stockfish is not a complete chess program and requires a UCI-compatible graphical user interface (GUI) (e.g. XBoard with PolyGlot, Scid, Cute Chess, eboard, Arena, Sigma Chess, Shredder, Chess Partner or Fritz) in order to be used comfortably. Read the documentation for your GUI of choice for information about how to use Stockfish with it. Stockfish is a 11-time winner of the Top Chess Engine Championship. Stockfish is open source (GPLv3 license). That means you can read the code, modify it, and contribute back. You can use Stockfish on your computer or on your iOS or Android device. So you can get world-class chess analysis, wherever you are. The Stockfish engine features two evaluation functions for chess, the classical evaluation based on handcrafted terms, and the NNUE evaluation based on efficiently updatable neural networks. -
