What it is

OpenSpeedy is a Windows-only game speed modifier that manipulates frame rate timers and game speed parameters in real-time by hooking into DirectX/game processes and patching memory regions. It breaks artificial frame rate caps and provides variable-speed acceleration (0.1x to 10x) without modifying game files, using C++ hooking and memory patching techniques via the mainwindow and cpuutils/memutils modules. Monolithic Qt5 GUI application: mainwindow.cpp/h is the central UI controller connected to mainwindow.ui (Qt Designer XML), with two utility modules (cpuutils.cpp/h for CPU/speed manipulation, memutils.cpp/h for memory operations). bridge/ contains a separate CLI entry point.…

Start here

• mainwindow.cpp: Central UI event loop and main application controller; orchestrates speed modification triggers and user input…
• cpuutils.cpp: Core speed manipulation logic: CPU frequency scaling, sleep timer hijacking, and game speed acceleration math
• memutils.cpp: Low-level process memory read/write operations; essential for hooking game memory regions and patching frame rate caps
• config.h: Configuration constants (speed multipliers, timer thresholds, polling intervals) for the speed modifier behavior
• CMakeLists.txt: Defines build targets, Qt integration, Windows resource inclusion, and cross-platform CMake configuration

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/game1024/OpenSpeedy.git
cd OpenSpeedy
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --config Release
./build/OpenSpeedy.exe

Requires: CMake 3.16+, Qt5, MSVC/Clang toolchain, Windows 7+ (inferred from WiX installer targets). See .github/workflows/ci.yml for exact build matrix.

Daily commands:

After build, launch: ./build/Release/OpenSpeedy.exe (GUI) or ./build/bridge/OpenSpeedy-cli.exe (CLI mode). GUI mode requires X11/Wayland equivalent absent; Windows native windowing only. Debug builds via: `cmake --b…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Solo or near-solo (1 contributor active in recent commits)
• GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
• 1. Windows privilege escalation: cpuutils/memutils likely require admin privileges to hook processes and modify CPU state; missing elevation will fail silently or crash. 2. Anti-cheat interference: Modern games…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
