What is osu! game resources?
osu! game resources is a curated link directory for the osu! community, maintained primarily by staff of the osu! Game Community Discord server with community contributions. It gathers tools and references in one place and also appears as the #osu-resources channel on that server. It is a starting point for finding resources, not a tool or service itself.
What it covers
- Official links: osu! YouTube and Twitter accounts, osu!wiki, official tournaments, community Discord servers and the ppy development blog.
- Tablets: OpenTabletDriver, Kuuube's buying and compatibility sheets, and custom firmware options with explicit warnings about warranty and risk.
- Replay and score analysis: Danser-Go for local rendering, o!rdr for online rendering, Rewind and osu-aim-analyzer for detailed review, plus replay viewers for ranked and tournament matches.
- Stats trackers: osu!track, osu!Stats, osu!daily, daily challenge stats and realtime player counts.
Who it suits
A player improving aim can move from a tablet driver and buying guide to a replay analyzer and tracker without searching scattered forum posts. Mappers, skinners and tournament followers will find fewer items here, so the official osu! website and osu!wiki remain better for mapping and skinning references.
Trade-offs
The list is broad but shallow: each entry is a link, so quality, maintenance and safety vary by project. Firmware entries are the clearest example, since the page itself flags warranty and stability risks. Expect some links to age between updates; the page shows a last-update date and accepts GitHub issues or pull requests for corrections.
Next step: open the list, pick the section matching your immediate goal, and read each linked tool's own documentation before installing drivers or firmware.
How do I find the right tablet driver or tablet buying guide for osu!?
Start with the curated Tablets section on osu! game resources. It already groups the two things you need: a driver to install, and buying-guide links so you can choose hardware before you install anything. The list is maintained by the osu! Game Community Discord staff with community contributions and is also mirrored in that server's #osu-resources channel, so it doubles as a starting point and a place to check for updates.
Driver first, then tablet
For most players, OpenTabletDriver is the practical default: it is open-source and works across many tablet brands, so you are not locked into one manufacturer's software. The trade-off is that you configure it yourself rather than relying on a vendor app.
If you already own a Wacom and want higher polling rates, the list points to community firmware projects (xstarry's and shavit's Wacom firmware, plus catears124's Gaomon firmware). Treat these as advanced options: the page itself warns that flashing firmware can void your warranty, may brick the tablet, and often disables most tablet features to maximise polling rate. It also advises reporting issues to the firmware authors first. For a first setup, a standard driver is the safer choice; consider firmware only once everything else works and you understand the risk.
Choosing a tablet
Use Kuuube's buying guide to shortlist models, then check the Wacom mastersheet and pen compatibility mastersheet to confirm the specific tablet and pen combination you are considering. The pen nib guide is useful if you care about replacement nibs and feel. A concrete workflow:
- Read the buying guide and note two or three candidate tablets in your budget.
- Confirm pen compatibility and any known quirks in the mastersheets.
- Install OpenTabletDriver and set your play area and sensitivity.
- Only then look at firmware options if you want a higher polling rate.
If you need more context
The osu!wiki linked from the same page has broader articles on gameplay and setup, and the official osu! YouTube channel covers game updates. For community discussion beyond the resource list, the page links a directory of osu! Discord servers, which is a sensible place to ask about a specific tablet model before buying.
Which tools can I use to analyze or render my osu! replays?
For replay analysis and rendering, the osu! game resources list separates two jobs: rendering a replay into video, and analyzing it for mistakes, timing and statistics.
Rendering replays
- Danser-Go renders replays locally on your own machine. Best if you want control, no upload, and don't mind setup.
- o!rdr renders replays online and is powered by Danser-Go. Best if you want a quick video without installing anything.
- replayviewer renders replays, ranked play and tournament matches, and covers all game modes. Best if you watch or produce content across modes.
Analyzing replays
- Rewind analyzes replays in detail.
- osu-aim-analyzer focuses on aim mistakes.
- Replay analyzer shows hit error, frametime and holdtime distributions.
Choosing between them
| Need | Tool type | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Quick video, no setup | Online renderer (o!rdr) | Depends on a service; less control |
| Full control, private | Local renderer (Danser-Go) | Requires installation and setup |
| All-mode or tournament footage | replayviewer | May be more than a solo player needs |
| Fix aim errors | osu-aim-analyzer | Narrow focus; not a general overview |
| Understand timing consistency | Replay analyzer | Distribution data needs interpretation |
A practical next step: if you are preparing a clip for a tournament or montage, start with o!rdr for speed, then switch to Danser-Go if you need specific settings. If you are training, run one replay through osu-aim-analyzer and Replay analyzer together—one shows aim mistakes, the other shows whether timing or holdtime is the weak point. The full list is at osu! game resources.
How can I track my osu! pp gains and score progress over time?
Use a stats tracker such as osu!track to follow pp gains and top-100 scores over time, and pair it with a replay analyzer when you want to know why a score or skill trend changed. The resource list at osu! game resources groups these tools under "Stats Trackers" and "Replay and Score Analysis," so you can pick one from each category rather than relying on a single site.
What each type of tool does
| Tool type | Good for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Stats tracker (e.g. osu!track) | Long-term pp and top-score history, spotting plateaus or sudden jumps | Shows trends, not causes; you still need to review plays |
| Parameter-based score finder (e.g. osu!Stats) | Finding specific scores that match criteria you set | Useful for research, less so for routine progress checks |
| Replay analyzer (e.g. Rewind, osu-aim-analyzer) | Hit error, aim mistakes, frametime and holdtime patterns | More effort per session; best used periodically, not daily |
| Replay renderer (e.g. o!rdr) | Sharing a play or reviewing it visually | Rendering takes time and is not a tracking tool itself |
A practical routine
- Register your profile with a tracker once, then check it weekly rather than after every session—pp changes are noisy day to day.
- When a tracker shows a stall, open one recent replay in an analyzer and look for a specific pattern, such as consistent early hits or unstable aim on jumps.
- Note one fix per week and re-check the tracker after a month to see whether the trend moved.
If you mainly play for tournaments, the replay tools listed for tournament matches are more relevant than pp history; if you chase rank, the tracker is the starting point. The list also links official sources such as osu! for tournament listings and wiki articles, which help you interpret score and ranking context.
Where can I find official osu! links, tournaments, and community Discord servers?
The curated list at osu! game resources groups these under an "Official Links" section. It points to the official osu! YouTube channel and Twitter account, the osu!wiki for articles, a listing of tournaments run by official game staff, and a directory of community-made Discord servers. So for all three needs—official channels, tournaments and Discord communities—that one page is the natural starting point.
What each link is for
- Official channels: The YouTube channel covers game updates and staff interviews; the Twitter account highlights featured artists and official tournaments. Use these for announcements rather than discussion.
- Tournaments: The tournament listing covers ongoing and past events run by official staff. If you want to compete or follow brackets, start here rather than with community-run events.
- Discord servers: The directory lists community servers, which suits players looking for practice partners, mapping feedback or skinning help. The resources list itself is maintained by the osu! Game Community Discord staff and mirrored in that server's
#osu-resourceschannel.
A practical next step
Decide your goal first. If you want authoritative news, go to the official YouTube and Twitter links. If you want to play or spectate competitively, open the tournament listing and check dates and formats. If you want people to talk to, pick a Discord server from the directory that matches your mode or interest—general play, mapping or skinning—since a large general server can feel overwhelming compared with a focused one.
The same page also bundles tablet drivers, replay and score analysis tools, and stats trackers, so it doubles as a broader toolkit once you've found your community.
How can I suggest a missing resource or contribute to the list?
Use the GitHub page linked from the site: open an issue to suggest an addition or improvement, or submit a pull request if you can edit the list directly. The page explicitly frames both routes as the way to flag "something missing," and notes the list is maintained by the osu! Game Community Discord staff with community contributions.
What to put in a suggestion
- Name and direct link to the resource, plus what it does in one line.
- Which section it belongs in (for example Official Links, Tablets, Replay and Score Analysis, or Stats Trackers), since the list is organized by use case.
- Who it helps — players, mappers, skinners, or a specific input device such as a tablet.
- Why it's not already covered, if a similar tool is listed.
For a pull request, match the existing entry style and place the item under the correct heading rather than at the end of the page. If you're unsure where something fits, an issue asking first is the lower-risk step.
A practical example
Suppose you've built a small tool that converts replay files into hit-error charts for tablet players. A useful issue would say: "Replay and Score Analysis — [tool name], [link]. Shows hit-error distribution per replay; aimed at players tuning tablet area. Not covered by Rewind or the existing replay analyzer, which focus on aim mistakes and frametime/holdtime." That gives maintainers enough to judge fit without extra back-and-forth.
For broader context on osu! tooling and community projects, the official osu! website and GitHub are reasonable places to check before proposing something.
