FlairX Mod Manager vs G3M

FlairX Mod Manager is a free Windows app for browsing, organizing, and enabling mods for HoYoverse and miHoYo games without manual file handling. It lists Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd, Zenless Zone Zero, and Wuthering Waves as supported games. Its visual library uses thumbnails, favorites, and categories, and users can save presets for different mod setups. Mods can be placed in the relevant game or mod folders, or downloaded through the manager. Listed functions include conflict detection, automatic updates, mod profiles, and built-in access to mod sources. The app integrates with the XXMI framework and includes an XXMI launcher integration. The maker describes its interface as WinUI 3 with Fluent Design and says it is optimized for large mod collections. FlairX is labeled open-source and in development. It requires Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11,.NET 10 Desktop Runtime, Windows App SDK 1.8 or later, and the portable XXMI Framework. Minimum memory is 2 GB RAM, 4 GB is recommended, and minimum screen resolution is 1280×720. It costs nothing.

G3M is a free, open-source desktop manager for GameMaker mods. It can browse supported GameBanana games and install mods from GameBanana, external URLs, local archives, or one-click links. Built-in game entries include DELTARUNE, DELTARUNE Demo, UNDERTALE, UNDERTALE Yellow, Pizza Tower, Sugary Spire, and FRICKBEARS3; users can also add custom games through its Game Manager.

Multiple library profiles can hold separate active mod selections and settings. The Mod Editor combines patches, file replacements, and archive contents, while other tools create and apply patches, merge patch sets, compare files, export diff reports, and convert supported formats. Supported games can launch directly or through Steam where available; Linux users can use PortProton for compatible Windows games. Its Catalog includes themes and plugins, including tools for DELTARUNE saves and custom save folders. Downloads are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS on x86_64 and ARM64 computers. The project states that normal launch mode restores game files after the game closes.
