Tools, programs and other resources!

Here is a list of different programs across a few mediums that I use or used to use. Scroll down for Android phone tools and Firefox extensions which are also mostly compatible with Waterfox!

Linux Mint

I only recently started using Linux, but there's some quick things I can recommend!

WINE
(The way I did it)
This allows a lot of exe's or other sort of programs to be used in Linux. I personally found it works great for little windows exclusive programs or simple portable programs.

Click to show code to input into the Terminal

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/noble/winehq-noble.sources

sudo apt update

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

winecfg


Lutris

Using Lutris you can play a large number of games not specifically made for Linux! It also has the option to help look for pre-sets from it's own online library for games while you only have to supply your exe installer or similar!

Windows PC

4k Video Downloader - Downloader for YT & others. Has free options, but I honestly recommend looking for 'modified' versions. It's been an amazing tool for downloading massive playlists of Youtube.

360CE - Controller mapper. Some games might have trouble with your controller, this program spoofs/fakes a Xbox 360 controller. It can allow you to make weird stuff like dance pads or guitar hero controller mappings and use them as a regular controller.

Snappy Driver Installer - A wonderful software updater I found a bit ago. It looks very old-school and can be a little bit of a multi-colored flashbang on first startup, but it just updates everything it can, as opposed to something like IO Bit Driver Booster which arbitrarily will refuse to update some things. It also has no annoying pop-ups for desktop!

Driver Booster - looks for outdated drivers & updates. Limited free options, but it's nice to have in a pinch if you're not a power user. or if you're just a little lazy like me sometimes. I do recommend uninstalling after using because it'll give you those annoying pop-ups on your desktop in the corner.

Foobar2000 - Music player. I've been using it for ages and used to to listen to thousands of hours of my CD's and 'found' music.

Winamp - Music player. A classic one. I used this a lot when it still had Shoutcast and all the people streaming full shows and movies on it. I've watched so much trash anime in less then 140p on this.

HW Monitor - Keep tabs on your PC stats, like heat, fan speed and other useful stuff.

Joy2key
- Controller mapper. Joy2Key is a great controller mapper that can be used outside of games. A fun application is to map stuff like mouse movements and click to a controller. Good stuff for the big screen and laying back on the couch!

MPC-HC - Light weight video viewer.

Notepad++ - Notepad, but then plus! plus!

SoulSeek - Music sharing. SoulSeek is a massive P2P media sharing tool. You can find the most obscure and old school demo's and everything else music here!

TumblrThree - download entire Tumblr blogs.

Visipics
- Search your folder for duplicate images.

WinHTrack - Download whole sites!

Flashplayer - play macromedia flash!

Veadotube - Cute program to make animated PNG tubers! Just get some pics of your character, make a few variations of blinking, mouth open and closed and you got the basics! Very light and easy-to-read program!

Winaero Tweaker - Program that can help customize your Windows OS's visual style and many more under-the-hood things! Also has quiet a few options to bring back certain functionality from older windows versions!

Web sites!

A quick list of useful sites I tend to use a lot!

10 Minute Email
Quick, disposable email address provider. A lot of popular sites won't accept this one though.

Igglybuff's resource list
A long github page with many resources for many things. While no longer updated and some pages have gone down, there's still plenty of working links to warrant a visit!

The Gutenberg Project

Free books from all over the place! A massive library of books, ebooks and many more!

Learn Web Design Online!

An ancient site I used to use in middle school when we had to make "normal" web pages. Plenty of info on this page still works and can still be applied.

The Death Generator

A wonderful resource for blank and fill able templates of old games. Remember those old sites where you could "make graffiti" on stock pictures of bridges and walls? That vibe, but with more pixels!

Sadgrl
Goblin-Heart (formerly and more widely known as Sadgrl) is an iconic part of Neocities with her multitude of resources and tools, check out her manifesto!

BadGraph1csGhost
Tina has an amazing hoard of resources, link and guides! From finding ways to shield yourself from google to installing other Operating Software all together! She also makes music!

Quickly glitch up your pics with this fun tool.

8mb Com presser

WordArt maker by Textstudio
I use this tool a lot to make the wordart stuff on the website. Cute, small little tool with fun options if you wanna break away from the default look!

FF Guides @ Telefragged
An ancient FFTactics guide that I found ages and ages ago. This websites covers the whole game, all secret and even super intricate guides on how every single system in the game works, even the ones the player cannot directly see in any way! This website has always been very precious to me with how methodically it holds so much information.
