BlankAid module (1Kb ZIP file)- comes in very handy with a lot of emulators, by preventing the screensaver from starting midway through program use. This is caused by the emulator not allowing the screensaver to register keypresses, so the screensaver thinks nothing has been pressed and activates, BlankAid remedies this.

SparkPlug (&FFB BASIC file) - comes in handy for decompressing the archived emulators downloaded from this site. Simply settype this downloaded file to &FFB, BASIC, and run it to decompress SparkPlug.

Glimpse - A screengrabbing module by Matthew Bloch to allow you to grab screenshots from emulators that don't support screengrab.

The Machine Room - information on over a 100 old computers documented
