Ventoy
A New Bootable USB Solution
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them. x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way. Most types of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/ChromeOS/Unix/VMware/Xen...) 1100+ ISO files are tested, 90%+ distros in distrowatch.com supported. -

TurboVNC
High-speed, 3D-friendly, TightVNC-compatible remote desktop software
TurboVNC is a high-performance, enterprise-quality version of VNC based on TightVNC, TigerVNC, and X.org. It contains a variant of Tight encoding that is tuned for maximum performance and compression with 3D applications (VirtualGL), video, and other image-intensive workloads. TurboVNC, in combination with VirtualGL, provides a complete solution for remotely displaying 3D applications with interactive performance. TurboVNC's high-speed encoding methods have been adopted by TigerVNC and libvncserver, and TurboVNC is also compatible with any other TightVNC derivative. TurboVNC forked from TightVNC in 2004 and still covers all of the TightVNC 1.3.x features, but TurboVNC contains numerous feature enhancements and bug fixes relative to TightVNC, and it compresses 3D and video workloads much better than TightVNC while using generally only 5-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also be made to compress 2D workloads as "tightly" as TightVNC. -

NSIS: Nullsoft Scriptable Install System
Windows installer development tool
NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a professional open source system to create Windows installers. It is designed to be as small and flexible as possible and is therefore very suitable for internet distribution. Being a user's first experience with your product, a stable and reliable installer is an important component of succesful software. With NSIS you can create such installers that are capable of doing everything that is needed to setup your software. NSIS is script-based and allows you to create the logic to handle even the most complex installation tasks. Many plug-ins and scripts are already available: you can create web installers, communicate with Windows and other software components, install or update shared components and more. -

IDM Trial Reset
Use IDM forever without cracking
IDM Trial Reset is a lightweight utility designed to reset the trial period of Internet Download Manager (IDM), allowing users to continue using the software without immediate license enforcement. Built using AutoIt, the tool automates registry and system-level modifications required to remove or reset trial-related data. It provides a simple interface or executable that performs the reset process without requiring deep technical knowledge from the user. The project emphasizes ease of use and portability, enabling users to run the tool whenever the trial period expires. While it does not modify the core IDM software, it interacts with system configurations to extend usability, and the repository encourages users to purchase a license if possible. Its open-source nature allows users to inspect or rebuild the executable themselves, increasing transparency. -

NetherSX2 Classic
Continuation of NetherSX2 based on AetherSX2 3668
NetherSX2-classic is a companion and variant of NetherSX2 that targets a specific older base version of the AetherSX2 emulator (based on the 3668 branch), applying similar custom patches to provide a stable and performant PS2 emulation environment on Android devices. The project stitches in anti-tampering modifications, RetroAchievements notification fixes, and controller and GameDB updates while maintaining the legacy behavior of the classic build for compatibility with titles that might perform better on the older codebase. Because this classic branch starts from a slightly different upstream version than NetherSX2-patch, users often choose it for performance reasons on lower-power devices or for games with known regressions in newer builds. As with the patch variant, the repository includes configuration changes, fixes for widescreen and deinterlacing behavior, and updated game and controller support developed by the community. -

antimicro
Graphical program to map keyboard and mouse controls to a gamepad
antimicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad. It's useful for using a gamepad on PC games that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. This program can also be used to control any desktop application with a gamepad. On Linux, this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to run this program. This program currently works with various Linux distributions, Windows (Vista and later), and FreeBSD, but with limited support for FreeBSD and Windows XP. -

usbliter8
An A12/A13 SecureROM exploit
usbliter8 is a low-level security research project focused on a tethered SecureROM exploit for Apple A12, S4/S5, and A13 SoCs. It targets a USB controller bug that requires specialized microcontroller hardware rather than a normal Mac or PC USB stack. The repository includes firmware source code, board support files, shellcode directories, USB handling code, logging helpers, and a Python control tool. It is intended for advanced researchers who understand DFU behavior, embedded development, bootrom analysis, and the risks of hardware-level experimentation. The project documents supported RP2350-based boards and includes build information for people compiling the firmware themselves. Overall, it is a specialized Apple platform security research project, not a general-purpose end-user utility. -
