A real-time upscaling software that can upscale any application or game window. Forked from Blinue/Magpie, with the intention of maintaining Visual Novel specific presets. Run Magpie and keep it open in the background / minimize to tray. Open the desired game / visual novel in windowed mode. Use Alt + F11 hotkeys to upscale your game window using magpie. Modify the ScaleModels.json if you want your very own custom stack of presets to use with Magpie. You'll need to start Magpie as admin if you want to upscale a game that's also running with admin privileges. Uses the CAS filter from FSR. Higher overall contrast and sharpness. I used this one instead of the standard CAS cause IMO it makes the details stand out a lot more. ACNet works very well for anime type art, looks very clean with think lines at the cost of some detail loss.

Vidiot is a non-linear video editor targeted for home video editing. It supports compositing (scaling/rotating/positioning), cropping, changing speed, adding transitions and titles, trimming, key frames, etc.

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.

Route Generator is a tool to create or generate animated routes on a map and generate a movie from it. This movie can be imported in your video editing software (e.g. Pinnacle Studio), so you can add it to your own movies. The map can be imported from OpenStreetMap, Google Maps or GeoTIFF, TIFF files. The routes can be drawn manually or imported from a GPX file containing GPS tracks.
