ThioJoe / cheat.bat
Last active April 21, 2024 15:14
"Cheat" Command Wrapper Script - Makes it easier to search specific terms with 'cheat' tool. Recommended to rename to "c.bat" for easy calling.
:: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: Cheat Command Wrapper Script
:: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: This batch script acts as a wrapper for 'cheat.exe', enhancing its functionality
:: by allowing more intuitive command-line interactions. Specifically, it:
::
:: 1. Directly accesses cheatsheets or tags with a single argument.
:: 2. Facilitates search within a cheatsheet using multiple arguments, treating them
:: as a single search query.
:: 3. Dynamically resolves the paths to the community and personal cheatsheets

ThioJoe / Copy-GPU-Drivers-VM.ps1
Created January 5, 2024 19:40
PowerShell script to copy GPU drivers to Hyper-V Virtual Machine for passthrough.
# Description: This script will automatically copy the necessary GPU drivers from your current host machine into a Hyper-V Virtual Machine
# so you can pass through the GPU to the VM. You should run this whenever you update your graphics drivers on the host.
#
# Author: ThioJoe -- https://github.com/ThioJoe
#
# Note: Currently this only works for Nvidia GPUs. But it does support if you have multiple GPUs.
#
# OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
# -debug | Enables debug messages that pause the script for each step (No additional string required, just add -debug)
# -name | Sets the virtual machine name so it doesn't need to ask

PowerShell script to allocate and pass through GPU to Hyper-V Virtual Machine
# Script to easily set resource allocation for GPUs to be passed through into a Hyper-V VM
#
# Author: ThioJoe / https://github.com/thiojoe
#
### Instructions for copying drivers to VM - Will likely need to do this before running this script
# NOTE: Instead of manually copying the files, if you have an Nvidia GPU you can use my other script called "Copy-GPU-Drivers-VM.ps1" to do it automatically
# 1. Open C:\Windows\System32 on host machine and copy any files beginning with "nv" (Except nvspinfo.exe and NvAgent.dll , which are unrelated)
# 2. Place those files into the System32 folder on the VM
# 3. On the VM, create the following directory: C:\Windows\System32\HostDriverStore\FileRepository
# 4. For Nvidia GPUs, open C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository, copy any folders beginning with "nv_" (The number of folders should match the number of GPUs, or at least number of different models of GPU)

Last active April 23, 2024 18:05
Error Lookup Tool Friendly Output
@echo off
:: Note: Lines beginning with "REM" or :: are comments
:: Script by: https://github.com/thiojoe
:: Purpose: Creates a much more user friendly output for the Microsoft Error Lookup Tool (err.exe). It parses the original output and modifies the text.
:: Usage: Just call the batch file with command prompt along with the error code the same as you would with err.exe
:: Example: error.bat 50
:: Recommended to rename this script to something shorter like 'error.bat'. Must be next to the lookup tool exe file.

Low-Res Icon Upscaler Batch Script

rem | "Icon Upscaler" Script by ThioJoe: https://github.com/ThioJoe
rem | I created this script specifically for upscaling very low res (such as 256x256) icons like those in Windows. It uses a combination of Image Magick (to first improve the transparency edges) and the RealCugan-ncnn-vulkan upscaler which seems to perform the best for this use case. Of course, the script can be used for all sorts of images, but I have found this to yield the best results of any other method, and better than just using an upscaler alone.
