Here's some: - MVVM Toolkit - PolySharp - ComputeSharp

Started programming by writing some apps for Windows Phone later UWP during university. A few years ago I started collaborating a lot on GitHub to some Microsoft projects, like the Windows Community Toolkit. There I created a lot of new APIs and libraries, like all the new animation APIs and pipeline brush APIs, etc. I then also proposed adding some general .NET APIs to it, and that's how the MVVM Toolkit was born, along with other libraries which are now moved to the .NET Community Toolkit. Fast forward until about late 2020, and they pinged me saying the new Microsoft Store (which hadn't been announced yet back then) was using several of those new APIs I had written, so we started collaborating more so that I could add more functionality they needed. After that shipped, at some point there was a new opening to which I applied, and here I am in the Microsoft Store team and also leading the .NET Community Toolkit 🙂

This is tracked by https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/dotnet/issues/409. The issue is likely that AppCenter image using an older version of Visual Studio (and Roslyn). The MVVM Toolkit needs at least Roslyn 4.0 (ie. Visual Studio 2022) in order to work. Unfortunately this is not something we can change from the MVVM Toolkit, you have to open a support request for AppCenter to ask for a newer Roslyn version, or see if there is a way for you to enable that in your pipeline 🥲

The toolkit's:

Yeah, the fact properties use fields with annotations right now isn't ideal, it's just the best we could do until C# gets partial properties. I do plan on adding support for that though as soon as C# gets that feature. You can follow the progress here 🙂

For comparison, CommunityToolkit.Diagnostics has a guard library.

There is some stuff in CommunityToolkit to lower allocations of frequently converted Spans, StringPool comes to mind.

Dolphin ships with a bunch of keys in the source code[0]. So do almost every other emulators for any console from 6/7th gen consoles (ps3, xbox360, gamecube), see delroth's post on the matter here[1]. It's really not that simple - jurisdiction matters a lot, and also Nintendo's own priorities.

GameCube/Wii: Dolphin is the best GameCube/Wii emulator in my opinion: Download Dolphin

Dolphin has actually had this for their macOS builds for over a year now.

Though these consoles did not support stereoscopy originally, the Dolphin emulator can add it and output SBS. My experience was a bit mixed. Your mileage may vary.

You install Dolphin emulator, go into settings and make a folder for your games where it says "directory", and then you just stick your game in the folder. That's pretty much all there is to it, that's why I think Dolphin is the best emulator.

Dolphin

Platform: Gamecube. The remaster scrapped the local co-op entirely (booo). This one is a bit tricky but works perfectly once setup properly in Dolphin.
