lwc on 17 Aug 2024 Change history
- 19MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 2 Jul 2024
- Suggested by Special
DxWnd lets you run many applications that default to fullscreen in a window, ideal for games. The program is a Win32 "hooker" program that intercepts and alters the behavior of window messages and APIs. It picks up events and injects code into the configured tasks to run fullscreen programs in a windowed environment while maintaining expected behavior.

Who are you? Like if gho the main guy behind DxWnd move over to Github, only then I would consider it an "official" repo, but other wise it seems pretty unofficial to me when a random person sets one up.

For those of us who check these pages every day to see whats new, this program isn't categorized but from what I've read, I "assume" its a game. The description is very vague to those of us uninitiated.

It's really not a game but an emulator similar to Mame and others. You add ROM files and you can play older games on your PC. In this case it's an emulator for NES and Famicom based games. |

RPGui v1.0.1
lwc on 5 May 2023 Change history
- 4MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 4 Oct 2006
- Suggested by Firewrath
RPGui is a tool for pen-and-paper RPGs that allows gaming sessions to be conducted over the internet, with the DM/GM serving as host and players joining. The interface is simple and gets the job done, allowing the DM/GM to perform "hidden" dice rolls, conduct narratives and even speak through NPC's without clutter and confusion to the players. Also included is support for custom maps and tokens.
Note: The application website is offline, so I have made the copy supplied by Firewrath available for direct download.
