Good Tools
From Free net encyclopedia
The Good Tools are a set of ROM auditing tools written by Cowering for Windows Console Mode, which are capable of auditing and maintaining collections of ROMs for various video game consoles and home computer systems. These ROMs can then be run on the original machine or on a more powerful general-purpose computer (e.g, a PC or a Mac) using an emulator.
Although the tools are compiled only for Microsoft Windows and no source code is available, the tools can be used in conjunction with another operating system, e.g. GNU/Linux, using a compatibility layer such as WINE.
