DEFACTORY

Extract files from Indigo Rose Setup Factory installers without executing them. These installers use PKWARE DCL compression (implode/explode), DEFACTORY uses blast.h and blast.c from zlib/contrib/blast created by Mark Adler for decompression.

DiDi Extract

Extract files from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 installers without executing them.

Use case for this is to extract assets from your Jazz Jackrabbit 2 CD to use them with the free software engine re-implementation Jazz² Resurrection.

REWise

Extract files from Wise installers without executing them.

Currently there are two known use cases, one is to extract the assets from various GoldSrc game installers (like Half-Life GOTY and Counter-Strike 1.5), and the second use case is to extract assets from Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001) and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (2001) installers.

For a more complete list of currently known working and not working installers see the README.md.

Free software game engine re-implementations (not my projects):

Nuclide “Software Development Kit, built around the workflow in id Tech derived engines, with focus on advanced features and clean-room implementations of true-and-tested game-logic frameworks.”

For various game ports like Half-Life, Counter-Strike 1.5, Team Fortress Classic and many more check the Nuclide Ports Collection.
iortcw “The intent of this project is to provide a baseline RTCW which may be used for further development and fun.”
ET: Legacy “A second breath of life for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory”

JJSave

Reverse engineering the process of loading and saving Jazz JackRabbit 1 SAVE files.

SOURCE

Searx-Qt

Search on SearXNG instances without the need for a complex web-browser.

Searx-Qt is a desktop application that lets you search on public SearXNG instances listed on https://searx.space without the need for a complex web-browser.

Except for that it doesn’t require a complex web-browser (no cookies, no javascript and simple rendering) to search on your favorite SearXNG instance(s), the feature I like the most is that when a search fails somehow it can automatically fallback and pick another random instance on your list and will try the query at that one, repeating (up to max 10 tries) until a valid response is given.

For more info check the README.md, DOCS and ISSUES.

Wiizard

Wii games manager written in Python, using Qt as GUI framework.

It makes use of side projects libwwt and pywwt that aim to create a library from wiimms-iso-tools. The wiimms-iso-tools aren’t build for this but for now it seems to work.

It has still some work to do and there hasn’t been any testing done except for me, so that’s why it’s in alpha state. Check the README.md for current status.

When you can use wiimms-iso-tools (CLI) directly instead of Wiizard (GUI), then do so! Except for when you want to do some testing and report back to improve this project.
