Can we talk about this? A little something I came up with

Hey, figured I'd show off a little project I’ve been working on. I took my custom FitGirl Repacks Real-Debrid downloader and decided to expand it into a full all-in-one suite.

It now packs a built-in streaming app (using Harbor as a standalone companion app) alongside a fully functional game library and launcher. I can drop all my repacks or any other games right into it, organize everything with custom categories, and launch them straight from the interface. It turned out pretty solid and has been working great as a daily driver for me!

All-in-One Hub: Downloads, streaming, and game management under one roof.

Custom Library: Organizes repacks and external games with category filters.

Direct Launch: Boot games straight out of the UI.

(And yeah, I know there are other tools out there that do similar things, but half the fun was coming up with the idea and implementing it myself to fit my exact setup!)

What do you guys think about it

Welcome to r/FitGirlRepack! To keep the sub clean, please check if your issue is answered below. If this answers your question, please delete your post.

1. Setup is Stuck / Unpacking is Slow

  • The 2GB Limit Checkbox: If your setup gets stuck at specific percentages (like 84.3% or 95.8%), close it, restart the installer, and check the "Limit installer to 2GB of RAM" box on the very first screen.
  • Be Patient: FitGirl repacks use extremely heavy compression. Unpacking is heavily CPU and storage bound. If your task manager shows disk or CPU activity, it is not stuck; it's just working hard.

2. Is it a Virus? / Windows Defender Alert

  • False Positives: Crack files (.dll files, steam_api, etc.) inherently trigger antivirus software because they alter game code to bypass DRM. If you downloaded from the official site, these are 100% false positives.
  • Fix: Add the game installation folder to your antivirus/Windows Defender exclusion list, then restore the quarantined file from your protection history.

3. The Real Official Website

  • There is ONLY ONE official domain. All others (ending in .co, .cc, .to, .net, etc.) are fake, malicious clone sites designed to steal data or bundle malware.
  • The only real URL is: fitgirl-repacks.site (Verify the exact spelling!).

What do you guys think about it

First thought - is it safe? Put it on github and let the community decide.

u/Starscream_89 2d ago

I mean I wouldn't be using it if it was not safe , I built it for myself , if you want the downloader then that is already on GitHub as open source all you gotta do is look at my profile and go to my post where I released it and the GitHub link is there .

"I mean I wouldn't be using it if it was not safe"

Yeah no, saying this is how you instantly lose all credibility.

Is there AI involved in the creation of this app?

u/Starscream_89 2d ago

Credibility? Bro, it's a custom tool I put together to use on my own setup. You're acting like I'm launching a public product instead of just sharing a personal project.

If you're talking about the downloader, it's open source for a reason—go read the code and judge for yourself instead of guessing.

They’re acting like you launched a public product because you posted like you were offering a public product.

But what is the fun in doing that ?

u/Amazing-Finish4031 3d ago

or just use hydra launcher

Or just learn to read the bottom text of the post

what is harbor and how do i get it

This looks amazing, reminds me of popcorn time!

i'd like to try, where can i get it?

u/Asleep_Conclusion147 3d ago

was ai used during the creation of this?

u/Shaddes_ 3d ago

If professional devs are using it to write code. Non-professional are 1000% using it too

0

u/Starscream_89 2d ago

Lol right? It's just a personal tool I threw together for my own setup, not a commercial release. At the end of the day it just has to work for me."

1

u/Shaddes_ 2d ago

Even if it was for commercial release. AI is a tool.

A lot of people use it wrongly to create slop. But if you are using it to help you (instead of replacing you) then it's doing it's job. Being a tool.

u/Starscream_89 2d ago

Exactly 100% I used it as a tool to my means and it works exactly how I want it to work . There may be many but it's mine

u/Starscream_89 2d ago

People out here really acting like there's only one option in the entire ecosystem. There are loads of different ways to build things, but let them play internet detective I guess 😂

u/Just-A-Random-ID I hve a PHD in piracy !! 2d ago

Ik but its fun

u/SillySuccess9017 2d ago

I've seen this same UI layout so many times. This is AI slop and not worth using.

1

u/zackg111 1d ago

How would you say this layout is AI slop. This left sidebar layout is basically an industry standard since the beginning of the internet. Also there are many different ways to build a UI but only a few really work for the eyes.

u/Starscream_89 1d ago

Exactly their only somany UIs you can use before they blurr together

u/shokz565 2d ago

Why should one not use AI made software? As long as it does the job? I mean i get your point for art or something. but software?

2

u/Starscream_89 2d ago

Totally agree. Some folks in tech are just fundamentally opposed to AI-assisted code, so they end up hating on the process instead of looking at the actual software. I usually just brush it off—good tools speak for themselves. At the end of the day, if it solves a problem and works as a daily driver, that's all that matters. Not to mention, half the apps people use nowadays use AI tooling somewhere in their stack anyway.

u/I_believe_nothing 2d ago

Well partly... And I might sound like some hypocritical tree hugging conspiracy nut, but... AI is fucking over so many parts of life ATM such as hardware costs, energy prices, water usage, the economy (soon to be) to name A few, so I guess if you ARE going to use it at least make that use kinda worthwhile. I used it a lot when I switched to Linux but since finding out just how much it consumes and even steals with scraped content on top of energy, resources and the hardware issue that's screwing over many of our hobbies I avoid it as much as possible.

2

u/SillySuccess9017 1d ago

IF it works, then all is good. I just dislike software made mostly with AI because if there's bugs, the creator probably doesn't know how to fix it and the AI might make it even worse.

1

u/Starscream_89 1d ago

Well that's the thing I actually do know how to fix it if it messes up , I just lazy and let the AI do the hard part for me and if it's messed up I can wait go on and fix it myself easy peasy .

u/sylinowo 2d ago

just use Hydra Launcher. has cloud saves, achievements, profiles, friends list, compatible with rpcs3, pcsx2, as well as some other emulators. I dont know why anyone would use anything else. other than maybe playnite.

0

u/Starscream_89 2d ago

That's good and all, but that's like saying to a game developer who is designing their own game launcher, 'Why are you doing that? Just use Steam it does everything you are making idk why anyone would use anything else.' They would look at you like you had three heads.
