BeatDrop Music Visualizer vs UniPatcher

BeatDrop Music Visualizer is a Windows desktop visualizer built around a custom MilkDrop2 engine. It responds to speaker or microphone audio, including sound from media players, and includes more than 10,000 presets alongside compatibility with MilkDrop.milk presets. Visual tools include custom waves and shapes, beat detection controls, transitions, shader caching, and drag-and-drop preset loading. Presets can react to mouse and keyboard input, while shaders can use FFT and waveform data as well as system time and date. It also supports synchronized LRC lyrics, a timestamp editor, and a local lyrics cache; matching lyrics are fetched from LRCLIB. Spout can route visuals to supported apps including OBS, Resolume, TouchDesigner, and Unity. On Windows 10 version 1809 or later, system media controls provide now-playing details, playback position, and seeking. The normal build supports Windows 8.1, 10, and 11; an OldOS build covers Vista through Windows 11. The free, open-source software costs nothing. Requirements include 2 GB RAM, a WASAPI-compatible sound card, and a compatible GPU.

UniPatcher is a free Android app for applying patches to ROMs from older console games, rather than native Android games. Users select a ROM, choose a patch, specify an output file, and start the operation with the round button through the Files app or another file manager. Supported formats include IPS, IPS32, UPS, BPS, APS for GBA and N64, PPF, DPS, EBP, and XDelta3. The app can create XDelta patches, repair checksums in SMD or Genesis ROMs, and remove SMC headers from SNES ROMs. Compressed games and patches in ZIP, RAR, or 7z format must be unzipped first. The project is licensed under GPL version 3. Its privacy policy says the app does not collect or transmit personally identifiable or location data and does not share personal information with advertisers, vendors, or analytics providers. Google Play reports no data collected or shared with third parties. Boris Timofeev is listed as developer.
