NetherSX2 Classic
Continuation of NetherSX2 based on AetherSX2 3668
NetherSX2-classic is a companion and variant of NetherSX2 that targets a specific older base version of the AetherSX2 emulator (based on the 3668 branch), applying similar custom patches to provide a stable and performant PS2 emulation environment on Android devices. The project stitches in anti-tampering modifications, RetroAchievements notification fixes, and controller and GameDB updates while maintaining the legacy behavior of the classic build for compatibility with titles that might perform better on the older codebase. Because this classic branch starts from a slightly different upstream version than NetherSX2-patch, users often choose it for performance reasons on lower-power devices or for games with known regressions in newer builds. As with the patch variant, the repository includes configuration changes, fixes for widescreen and deinterlacing behavior, and updated game and controller support developed by the community. -

MagSpoof
A portable device that can spoof/emulate any magnetic stripe
MagSpoof is a hardware and security research project that demonstrates magnetic stripe emulation. It was created to explore how magnetic stripe systems work and how weak older payment and access technologies can be when they rely on static card data. The project became well known because it showed that magnetic stripe behavior could be reproduced without physically swiping a traditional card. Its importance is mainly educational, since it helps researchers understand the limitations of legacy magnetic stripe infrastructure. The repository should be treated as a security research artifact and handled only in lawful, authorized lab environments. Its main value is showing why stronger card technologies, cryptographic authentication, and modern payment protections are necessary. -
