  • apk-decompiler

    Small Rust utility to decompile Android apks

  • You can decompile android apps, which will give mostly the original Java Classes / functions with anonymized names (class A, function b, etc...). Framework classes and methods usually stay pretty much the same.

    See for example https://github.com/robertohuertasm/apk-decompiler and https://github.com/vaibhavpandeyvpz/apkstudio (only used the first one but the seconds looks practical)

  • apkstudio

    Open-source, cross platform Qt based IDE for reverse-engineering Android application packages.

  • NeoGB-Printer

    An open-source and standalone Gameboy Printer emulator 100% compatible with all officially released games (110 in total) that support the accessory. Just print and save the images as BMP

  • Most emulators are able to export a PNG that you could then print with something like this project! They don't support using a webcam with the ROM for the Game Boy Camera though.

    If you buy the real thing, there are lots of projects for extracting and printing the pictures though.

    This project implements a fake GB Printer that you can then access via WiFi to download the prints: https://github.com/zenaro147/NeoGB-Printer

    This project I wrote a while ago allows you to use a printer very similar to the one in this submission as an actual Game Boy Printer, connected to an original Game Boy: https://github.com/iamjackg/esp32-phomemo-gameboy-printer

  • nmap

    Nmap - the Network Mapper. Github mirror of official SVN repository.

  • InfluxDB
