In their own words
Avocado
Avocado is a free, open-source PlayStation 1 emulator for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. It can load files including .cue, .bin, .img, .chd, .ecm, .exe, .psexe, .psf, and .minipsf by drag and drop. Listed save tools include save states, quick save and load, and rewinding by one second. It supports digital controllers, DualShock, and mouse input, with up to two controllers and no multitap. Audio support includes XA-ADPCM and Red Book, and graphics use OpenGL hardware rendering. The project lists support for Anti-Modchip and LibCrypt protected games; PAL LibCrypt games need additional .SBI or .LSD subchannel information. A BIOS from a real console is required and must be placed in the data/bios directory; BIOS selection is prompted on first run. The project is in early development, so games may not start or may crash soon after. It is single-threaded, and audio synchronized to NTSC 60 Hz can stutter in PAL games.
FreeTO
FreeTO is free, open-source MATLAB software for initializing, optimizing, and post-processing free-form 3D topology optimization problems. It accepts STL files for a design domain and load-carrying subdomains, together with mesh controls and a target volume fraction. A structured hexahedral mesh is used, and optimized structures have smooth boundaries. Inputs can define supports, force magnitudes, up to nine additional load cases, and regions that must remain unchanged. SIMP is the documented default optimization method, and SEMDOT is also supported. Topologies can be mirrored across up to three specified symmetry planes. Results include compliance, volume fraction, density arrays, element counts, optimization histories, visual topology displays, and an optional STL file. Sample problems cover a GE bracket, airplane bracket, human hand model, and quadcopter. The repository uses an MIT license and other open-source codes. Its available optimizer is optimality criteria; the MMA implementation is commented out, with code available by email request.
