OpenHomeKaraoke vs PicoDrive

OpenHomeKaraoke is a free, open-source karaoke system for searching, downloading, and queueing songs at home. It can find songs on YouTube and download from YouTube and other video sites, including Youku and Bilibili. Playback supports MP3 and CDG files, including ZIP bundles. A DNN-based vocal splitter offers instrumental, vocal, or combined playback and requires PyTorch, preferably with GPU support; stereo track subtraction is also described. Voice search and queueing use OpenAI’s multilingual Whisper model. People on the same network can use a phone or computer browser to search the local library and add songs to a shared queue. Playback controls include pitch and tempo changes, seeking, and audio and subtitle delay. The display can be sent to a TV by HDMI or screen sharing, or viewed in a browser through an HTTP stream. Setup requires Python dependencies, VLC, and ffmpeg. Existing songs remain accessible offline, but internet search and new downloads do not. The project uses GPL-3.0, and its releases page lists no releases.

PicoDrive is a freeware, open-source emulator for Sega 8-bit and 16-bit consoles through the 32X. It runs Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega/Mega CD, 32X, Sega Pico, SG-1000, SC-3000, Master System/Mark III, and Game Gear games, with save states. The emulator supports enhanced CD audio for compatible cartridge games in MSU, MD+/32X+ and Mode 1 formats loaded from CUE or CHD files. Sega Pico Storyware pages and pad overlays can be displayed from PNG files beside a cartridge image. Physical mice can emulate a Sega Mouse or Pico Pen, and keyboard support covers Sega Pico and SC-3000 devices, including a virtual overlay. SC-3000 cassette emulation accepts WAV and bitstream files and advances tapes when accessed. The project documents generic Unix-like and libretro builds. Release packages or ZIP archives are installed manually. Windows, Linux, and self-hosted use are listed. The PicoDrive plan costs nothing.
