Hope it's not a problem to post some potentially useful files related to retro gaming.
Feel free to contribute, or let me know to add/remove an application.
------------------------------
Java GGCncoder v1.1
A Game Genie encoder that can work on any platform, since it's written in Java.
Note: Do not open this (ggencoder.jar) with WinRAR, you need to have Java installed to view it properly.
You can download Java from this address http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Download
------------------------------
Apply-PPF v2.0
This is a command-line tool for applying PPF patches.
Download
------------------------------
Cmd Here Powertoy Setup
This is an installer by Microsoft for Windows XP.
After installing this, you can right-click a folder to open the command prompt inside the directory.
Saves time from having to manually browse to the folder with the cd "folder name" command.
Download
------------------------------
PlayStation Utilities v1.0
This application is for PS1 GameShark v3.x, Action Replay v3.x and Game Buster cheat cartridges.
As far as I can remember, this is the only version I could get to work properly with downloading the Virtual Memory cards while using Windows XP.
Download
------------------------------
Genesis/32x CheckSum Fixer
This application will fix Checksum for Genesis/Mega Drive and 32x games...
Download
------------------------------
Genesis/Mega Drive Checksum Fixer
Like the application directly above, this will fix checksums for Sega Genesis. The only difference is it will fix batches of games in mere seconds. This is simply a stripped down version of ucon64 I put together.
To use:
1. Make a new folder and place the patcher in it.
2. Put the games you would like to fix in the same folder.
3. Double click the patching program.
4. Use the other batch file included to delete the backups made, if needed.
Note: The games must be have a .bin extension.

I can't recall ever using this, but It has a potentially useful "Compare Saves" option.
I recommend using MemcardRex v1.6 (or newer) for PS1 memory cards.
