Weiss was the name of a Ragnarok Online Server Emulator which originated in Japan (likely in the Saitama region) which is one of the earliest server emulators. It was contemporary with the Japanese project, Athena, as in its README.md it notes that part of the inspiration for Weiss came from Athena, so it is likely that it, and Athena were based on 0052.lzh and/or ROServer. It was written in the programming language Pascal and is thought to be the earliest Ragnarok server emulator as when EOR was discussing Ragnarok packets there was reference to Weiss among these discussions.
In eWeiss' sourcecode, a version of a README.md from the original Weiss project exists, which acknowledges the project could not have begun without 0001.txt (the packet specification) and 0052.lzh (the predecessor of most known server emulators), as well as fragments of Athena source code.
Weiss eventually fractured into other emulators such as eWeiss (an English translation), DarkWeiss, uWeiss, and other continuations, and it was symbolically continued on with the emulators such as Fusion, Prometheus and Helios Project.
