PPSSPP is a HLE ("high level emulation") emulator, it simulates the
PSP OS as seen by the game rather than the full hardware. A program
running on the PSP OS can send raw display lists to the graphics
chips, but can't access the flash controller or the Media Engine
directly, instead it has to go through libraries and the PSP OS
kernel. We simply simulate these. This is a lot of work though, the
PSP OS is large and has plenty of functionality so achieving 100%
compatibility is difficult bordering on the impossible. We can get
close though.
Virtual GameBoy Advance (VGBA) is an emulator of the GameBoy Advance
videogame console produced by Nintendo. It allows to run GameBoy
Advance games on PCs, Macs, or just about any other sufficiently
fast computers in existence. It can also help to debug GameBoy
Advance software without using a costly development system. VGBA
is not a real GameBoy Advance though. Get the real thing if you
want a real experience. Also, VGBA will not play older GameBoy and
GameBoy Color games. You will need VGB for that.
The Xen Project hypervisor is an open-source type-1 or baremetal hypervisor,
which makes it possible to run many instances of an operating system or indeed
different operating systems in parallel on a single machine (or host). The Xen
Project hypervisor is the only type-1 hypervisor that is available as open
source. It is used as the basis for a number of different commercial and open
source applications, such as: server virtualization, Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS), desktop virtualization, security applications, embedded and hardware
appliances
wmget is a dock app for the GNU Window Maker window manager which makes it more
convenient to perform long downloads in the background.
This is useful if you tend to have dozens of windows open at a time and tend to
do a lot of routine downloading. Just copy the link from your browser, middle-
click on the wmget dockapp, and the download will start. No download windows or
terminals required, and you can monitor the progress and stop the transfer if
desired without opening or raising any windows or even changing desktops.
This game is played in a parallelepipede containing PxNxN little
cubes. You can first consider this 3D board as P 2D checkerboards of
NxN squares. From 2 up to 10 players can confront each other.
Each player begins with a certain number of pieces (or armies) that
he has to move and make attack. One of his pieces represents him-self
(or the chief, or the king, or anything you want). If this piece die,
the player is eliminated. The last player staying alive wins.
Messages can be sent to the other players , so that alliances can be
implemented. A special timer assures that the game remains dynamic.
Have you ever thought Tetris(R) was evil because it wouldn't send you
that straight "I" brick you needed in order to clear four rows at the
same time?
Well Tetris(R) probably isn't evil, but Bastet certainly is. Bastet
stands for "bastard tetris", and is a simple ncurses-based Tetris(R)
clone for Linux. Unlike normal Tetris(R), however, Bastet does not
choose your next brick at random. Instead, Bastet uses a special
algorithm designed to choose the worst brick possible.
As you can imagine, playing Bastet can be a very frustrating experience!
Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and
phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible.
To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that
information to optimally schedule review times. With a minimal amount
of effort, you can greatly increase the amount of material you remember,
making study more productive, and more fun.
While Anki can be used for studying anything, it also ships with special
features designed to make studying Japanese and English easier: integrated
dictionary lookups, missing kanji reports, and more. Sample decks are also
provided for Russian.
Doom Legacy is a source port of Doom available for various operating systems

FreeBSD graphics console (VGL) version of the famous Digger game.
HISTORY
-------
Digger was originally created by Windmill software in 1983 and released as
a copy-protected, bootable 5.25" floppy disk for the IBM PC/XT. As it
requires a genuine CGA card, it didn't work on modern PCs. In 1998 a new
version was created by Andrew Jenner which runs on all PCs with CGA or
better and, whilst retaining all the atmosphere and playability of the
original, has many new features.
In 2000 it was ported to several Unix-like architectures by Maxim Sobolev.
Currently it supports FreeBSD, using either VGL or SDL library, and Linux using
SDL library.
Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, developed by Pumpkin Studios and
published by Eidos-Interactive. Although comparable to Earth2150 in many
significant respects, it does contain aspects that are unique. These include
various radar technologies, a greater focus on artillery and counter-battery
technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as gameplay progress, as
well as a different vehicle design method. It was released in 1999 for both PC
and Playstation.
In late 2004 warzone was released by its copyright holders, Eidos-Interactive,
to the public under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and the Warzone 2100
Resurrection Project was born.
