About NeoBox
A native macOS Neo Geo emulator with built-in Geolith, CRT shaders, save states, gamepad hot-swap, and per-game memory cards. No setup. Just play. Xbox, PS, Switch Pro, and MFi controllers work over USB or Bluetooth with zero configuration. Each shot is the 304×224 native frame, with the CRT shader baked in if you've got it on. The sidebar is always one click away from the next game. Every choice has a sensible default, the preferences pane is for when you want the arcade feel of a CRT, or when a particular cart needs MVS mode.
About Papercrane
Every analytics vendor is bolting an AI copilot onto their dashboards. Power BI has one. Tableau has one. They all work the same way: the human drives the old tool, and the AI sits in a sidebar making suggestions. I took the agent you already use and built the BI tool around it. papercrane-cli is a command line tool that gives Claude Code everything it needs to turn a business question into a live dashboard: authenticated access to your data, a real dashboard workspace, and a path to a link you can send to anyone.
