Some of them that come to mind for me are:

  • FitGirl's Escape from Tarkov repack that featured a single player mod

  • FitGirl's Half Life Alyx repack that with the NoVR mod

  • Gnarly's Tale of Two Wastelands repack that had everything ready to go after the install. No need to install both Fallout 3 & New Vegas and wait hours for things to compile

Not the most interesting repack per se, but I always found it interesting how they got around games not released on PC or Epic exclusives with hard to beat DRM: they pack the Nintendo Switch version + decryption keys + Yuzu + config files. Some even include a custom shortcut directly to the game, and boot Yuzu in fullscreen.

That's how FitGirl repacks Tony Hawk's remakes, for instance.

That's a really creative solution

yeah when i downloaded mario golf super rush, the emulator runs and sounds like the games working but i get a black screen. spent 5mins dicking around with it before i gave up. was still impressed at the simplicity of it all though

Switching the renderer to vulkan helped for me
