Software

Libraries

Starscream

680x0 CPU emulation library
Platform: x86, various operating systems

The only CPU emulation library good enough to be named after a Decepticon.

Winamp plugins

Bleep!

.NSF input plugin

"Hey, did you hear the latest NSF rip?"

"WHOA, nice square waves! I'd like to get my hands on THAT song!"

"You mean you haven't played it yet? We can play it on my Bleep! Winamp plugin!"

Highly Experimental

Highly Experimental is a plugin for Winamp that plays PSF and PSF2 files. It features a tag editor, configurable title format, options for song lengths and silence suppression, well... everything you'd expect from a Winamp plugin, pretty much.

General utilities

Dexter

DexDrive utility / memory card organizer
Platform: Windows 95/NT4 or higher

Dexter brings some much-needed simplicity to the task of organizing Playstation memory cards. This is the utility DexPlorer should have been.

Nana

Generic graphical file viewer
Platform: MS-DOS

Originally intended as a friendlier version of Louis Bontes' "Naga," Nana is a graphical file viewer with surprisingly many uses.

UIPS

IPS patch create/apply utility
Platform: Various
Source code included.

In the absence of a full-featured, reliable, cross-platform IPS creation and application utility, I wrote one. Go me.

VB2rip

Konami .VB2 sound format ripping utility
Platform: Various
Source code included - GPL licensed

This is a command-line based utility which can rip music stored in VB2 format in various Konami Playstation games, including:

• Castlevania Chronicle: Akumajou Dracula (both US and Japanese versions)
• Dance Dance Revolution 3rd/4th/5th/Extra/Konamix/Best Hits/DDRMAX2
• Suikoden

This is the cool Konami sound! You have selected a great utility!

ECM

Error Code Modeling pre-compressor for CD image files
Platform: Various
Source code included - GPL licensed

It seems so obvious, yet no other compressor out there bothers to model CD error codes. Want to compress BIN/CUE and similar files much better? Try this.

ID3Point

Command-line ID3v1 tagger
Platform: Various
Source code included - GPL licensed

I wrote this a few years ago and I've used it extensively. It was the inspiration for PSFPoint. And now, it can inspire you, too!

Identsucks

RFC1413 IDENT service
Platform: Most UNIX-based
Source code only

Because it does.

PSFLab

Looking to create PSFs? You'll probably want this! PSFLab is a full Windows GUI utility for creating, debugging, editing, testing, and optimizing PSFs.

For more information about the PSF format, visit PSF Central.

PSF-o-Cycle

PSF-o-Cycle is a companion tool for PSFLab which lets you:

• Patch game EXE files using compiled C code, rather than hand assembly
• Mass-optimize a list of PSF files without having to babysit each one
• Automatically set the Length and Fade tags using the optimizer
• Recompress using the new 7-Zip Deflate algorithm - a 2 to 10% improvement
• Upgrade the driver code in a list of PSFs, while leaving the song data intact

For more information about the PSF format, visit PSF Central.

PSFPoint

A command-line mass tagger for all PSF variants. Source code is included.
