Utilities

(Shareware/Freeware)

Getright

Extremely useful download manager/resume download program. I use it almost every day, has saved countless hours downloading as I sleep.

ICQ

This is an absolute must for any online/multiplayer gamer. I use it myself of course, No. 4577124, and use it to send messages/files etc... almost every day.

This is probably the best IPS patching utility for nes, snes, etc...roms. This is used primarily to apply translation patches to games made in different languages, such as japanese. This is a win 95 program, one of the few win95 patching programs in existence (and so far my favorite). If you need to translate a rom, then I highly recommend this file utility.

Screen Thief

Useful screenshot program I use for most games, comes with timer etc...

Another essential utility for gamers, this is the best and most widely known zip utility, which is of course used to unzip and zip files. This uncompresses files with the .zip extension back to the original folder or programs. Most games, files, etc...one finds online is in a zipped format, so I repeat, if you do not have this yet, GET IT.
