In their own words
Dark Souls Remastered Archipelago
Dark Souls Remastered Archipelago (DSAP) is a free, open-source Archipelago multiworld randomizer and client for Dark Souls Remastered. It shuffles eligible item locations into a shared pool, so an item may appear elsewhere while its original location receives a replacement. Fogwall Sanity is enabled by default: required pool items can keep fog walls locked, and passing through a wall counts as a check. Players can configure starting equipment, weapon upgrades or infusions, location and region exclusions, and other randomization settings. Goals include defeating Gwyn, all 26 bosses, Manus, or Ornstein and Smough. Setup requires Archipelago Launcher 0.6.7 or newer, the dsr.apworld file, and the Windows x64 client; worlds can be hosted through the launcher or Archipelago.gg. Windows support covers the Steam release identified in the project notes. Linux use through Proton is preliminary. The implementation is beta and unstable, with occasional crashes and fog-wall key issues. The client must stay running during play, and the guide warns against FromSoftware network connections.
Ocarina of Time Randomizer
Ocarina of Time Randomizer changes where items appear in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, creating a different playthrough. Its logic is designed to make every seed completable without glitches and avoid softlocks, even with any possible dungeon-key use. Players can adjust item and entrance placement, pots, crates, cows, shop prices, songs, cosmetic settings, starting inventory, and damage settings. The web generator lets users choose options, generate a seed, and patch a ROM in the browser. Generating and playing a seed requires an Ocarina of Time 1.0 NTSC-U or NTSC-J ROM. The site recommends a multicore CPU, at least 1.5 GB of RAM, and an updated browser. Mobile patching is supported but slower; listed device support includes Android phones with 2 GB or more of RAM and iPhone 5 or newer running iOS 10. Offline builds are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The project is free and open source. Its site points users to racetime.gg for races and Discord for discussion and help.
