At the moment, there's no centralised information, unfortunately. I've got some miscelaneous python scripts for doing various things. There's a gimp plugin and a PPM to TIM converter available. Someone I know has started work on a TMD util of some kind. I've had problems with all the siocons equivalents that I've seen, including the one that I (partially) wrote. psxfer works fine though. As far as I'm aware, nobody's tested the dos tools running under wine or dosemu, which might be another alternative. There are also tools for talking to an Action Replay available, if that's something you're interested in. Toby.
