LoreanXavier/pt-pc · ★ 2KA native PC port of P.T., the 2014 PS4 teaser by Kojima Productions. It is not an emulator: the game logic was rebuilt in C++ and the renderer is written in Vulkan, while every asset (levels, models, textures, sounds, scripts, cutscenes) is read at runtime from your own copy of the PS4 game.

upscayl/upscayl · ★ 50.8KUpscayl is a free, open-source desktop app that enlarges and enhances low-resolution images using AI upscaling models like Real-ESRGAN, running locally via Vulkan.
+17Real-ESRGAN
xinntao/Real-ESRGAN · ★ 37.2KReal-ESRGAN is a practical algorithm for general image and video restoration (super-resolution) that extends ESRGAN and is trained entirely on synthetic data so it handles real-world degradation, not just clean bicubic downscaling.
+10stable-diffusion.cpp
leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp · ★ 7.7KA pure C/C++ inference engine for diffusion models like Stable Diffusion, Flux, Wan, Qwen Image, and Z-Image, built the same way as llama.cpp so you can generate images and videos without heavy Python dependencies.
