This article lists software and hardware that emulates computing platforms.. The host in this article is the system running the emulator, and the guest is the system being emulated.
In video game development, Lua is widely used as a scripting language by game programmers, perhaps due to its perceived easiness to embed, fast execution, and short learning curve.
Luau developed by Roblox Corporation, a derivative of Lua 5.1 with gradual typing, additional features and a focus on performance. [40] Ravi, a JIT-enabled Lua 5.3 language with optional static typing. JIT is guided by type information. [41] Shine, a fork of LuaJIT with many extensions, including a module system and a macro system. [42]
Cheat Engine (CE) is a proprietary, closed source [5] [6] memory scanner/debugger created by Eric Heijnen ("Byte, Darke") for the Windows operating system in 2000. [7] [8] Cheat Engine is mostly used for cheating in computer games and is sometimes modified and recompiled to support new games.
UPX uses a data compression algorithm called UCL, [5] which is an open-source implementation of portions of the proprietary NRV (Not Really Vanished) [6] algorithm. [2]UCL has been designed to be simple enough that a decompressor can be implemented in just a few hundred bytes of code.
A hex dump of an executable real mode loader. The first column consists of addresses of the first byte in the second column, which comprises bytes of data in hexadecimal notation (least significant byte first), and the last column consists of the corresponding ASCII form.
LuaJIT is a tracing just-in-time compiler.LuaJIT chooses loops and function calls as trace anchors to begin recording possible hot paths.Function calls will require twice as many invocations to begin recording as a loop.
Code injection is a computer security exploit where a program fails to correctly process external data, such as user input, causing it to interpret the data as executable commands.
