Why build another text editor?

In 2025 the Notepad++ update infrastructure was compromised. That was the push to finally write something from scratch — something small, something we could read top to bottom and actually trust.

Caret is built with C# and WPF. It's a single executable. No plugins, no extension marketplace, no auto-updater phoning home. You download it, you run it, you edit text. That's the whole deal.

It won't replace your IDE. It's not trying to. It's the thing you open when you need to look at a log file, tweak a config, jot something down, or write a quick script. It should open before you finish clicking.

Games Updated: Neoragex 5.4e - 181

Specifically, the bundle remains one of the most famous, optimized, and nostalgic emulation packages in internet history. It allowed gamers to run 181 premium Neo Geo titles seamlessly on modest PC hardware. What is NeoRageX 5.4e?

Includes built-in filters to replicate old CRT monitor scanlines, adjust audio sampling rates, and configure interpolation for smoother pixels.

This collection usually spanned the timeline from NAM-1975 (the system's launch title) to titles released just before the hardware's final curtain call. Having "all 181 games" was a badge of honor. It transformed a PC into a digital museum of 2D fighting and shooting perfection.

Quirky, experimental fighters that pushed the boundaries of visual style. 2. Legendary Run-and-Gun Action

To understand the significance of version 5.4e, it is essential to look at the history of Neo Geo emulation. The original NeoRage (Neo Geo Real-time Arcade Game Emulator) was created by developers Swedish Chef and ElSemi. It holds the historical distinction of being the very first Windows-based Neo Geo emulator to run games at full speed on modest hardware, such as Intel Pentium 166MHz processors.

Do you need help to the emulator?

: Requires DirectX 9.0c or later to handle the 2D rendering properly. ROM Naming

The version is a popular, community-modified "hack" or update of the original emulator. While official development of NeoRageX ceased long ago, independent developers continued updating the emulator's internal database to recognize newer ROM dumps, fix graphical glitches, and bundle specific game collections.

Security

Encrypted backups, explained.

Caret lets you back up any open document to a local MongoDB instance. Before anything is written to the database, your file content is encrypted on your machine using AES-256-GCM — the same authenticated encryption standard used by governments and financial institutions.

Your password never touches the database. It's fed through PBKDF2-SHA512 with 600,000 iterations and a random salt to derive the encryption key. Each backup gets its own salt and nonce, so even identical files produce completely different ciphertext.

Everything happens locally. No cloud, no third-party service, no network calls. You own the database, you own the password, you own the data. If you lose the password, the backups are unrecoverable by design.

Open the Backup Manager with Ctrl+B to create, browse, restore, or delete backups. It's built into the editor — no external tools required.

Setting up MongoDB (optional)

MongoDB is only needed if you want encrypted backups. Caret works perfectly fine without it.
