In their own words
FF6 Beyond Chaos Randomizer
FF6 Beyond Chaos Randomizer creates a new Final Fantasy VI mod by randomly remixing game content each time it runs. Players use flags to choose what changes and can select modes including normal, three cave modes, K at N, and dragon hunt. The project says its basic flags permit over 10 billion possible randomizations. Each generated seed produces a patched ROM and a mini-FAQ with details such as item locations, shop information, and monster abilities. Sharing the integer seed lets others generate the same randomization. The free randomizer supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is also listed for Super Nintendo-compatible hardware; the project says it works on a real Super Nintendo and has been tested on Super Everdrive and SD2SNES. Windows users are directed to the release ZIP. Non-Windows systems need Python 3.7 or higher, and Python 2 is no longer supported. It requires an FF3 US 1.0 ROM, which the project cannot provide. Windows executable users get sprite assets at startup, while console-mode users download them manually.
The Wind Waker HD Randomizer
The Wind Waker HD Randomizer changes item locations and other parts of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. It shuffles items, opens the world from the start, removes most cutscenes, and adds gameplay tweaks. It supports the USA version of Wind Waker HD only; European and Japanese versions and the original Wind Waker are unsupported. The free, MIT-licensed software has Windows, macOS, and Linux builds, including native Linux x64 builds in the latest release. Emulator use requires a decrypted USA game copy arranged in folders named code, content, and meta. The setup instructions suggest adding the output folder to an emulator's game paths and identify Cemu as a likely choice. Wii U use requires the Aroma environment and sigpatches, and reserves 2 GB of storage for the randomized channel after initial setup. The PC application includes an accurate-logic item tracker, but Wii U and web use do not have one. Each seed produces a spoiler log containing information about its contents. Other mods are not currently supported.
