Randomizers
Listed here a bunch of randomizers that I follow, and some I've developed (okay two of them). If I think the game isn't well known enough I'll comment on it. This probably won't be very many updates, because I'm not very good about that. To note I'm not documenting a lot of manual games save my own, because I don't usually play them or have that much interest in them these days.
I will try my best to link to a github. Worst case, I will link to a direct .apworld file hosted on a Github I made. Many games include a client, such as PC games, and I will similarly try to link these.
Note that not every one of these games is here, but this alternative website has a few of them.
Suggested Emulators
- SNES: Special version of Bsnes.
- GBA: mGBA with a special luascript to use the Bizhawk Client.
- Gamecube, Wii: Dolphin. Its the only thing that works anyway.
- Wii U: CEMU.
- 3DS: Lime3DS.
- PS2: Not sure, likely PSCX2. None of the games developed interest me yet to confirm nor do I know if they're Linux compatible yet.
- PSX, GB, NES: Bizhawk.
- N64: Luna's Project64. Should work in most cases. Worst case, WINE Bizhawk's Windows version (probably true for games like Banjo Tooie and OoT, and the special features of Bomberman 64).
- Switch: Ryujinx (for the only known case for it I believe)

- R18+ - Has explicit sexual content in the game. Also only play on the After Dark server if you go to the main discords.
- W - Either Windows-only, or the setup is so bad I cannot suggest trying to make it work on Linux.
