I'll add a few, why not?Tokyotrim - to trim excess rom data (makes the file smaller)
http://techsuki.net/nintendo-ds-rom-trimmerInstead of 7-zip, I reccomend Winrar, compression isn't as good as 7-zip (generally, they're getting better) but it's simpler to use and not nearly as intrusive.
http://rarlabs.com/download.htmXVI32 (hex editor) use this for the quick and dirty copy protection fix. Worked for Kingdom Hearts 358/2, likely it will be useful in the future.
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm#downloadDSlazy - not used as much as it used to be, but it does a variety of things. Mostly used for unpacking roms for a arm7 patch. There are better programs out there for that sort of thing, but none as user friendly.
http://blog.dev-scene.com/ratx/archives/category/dslazyIPSwin - I used to use this for GBA roms, most memorably applying an english patch to fire emblem - sealed sword. It works on most NDS games too, and was an alternate to using the Hex editor for the kingdom hearts game.
http://zerosoft.zophar.net/ipswin.phpAlso, a note to callumsalter (original poster) You don't need peerguardian. If the government is looking for you, it won't be near enough to keep them from finding you (they can always subpeona your ISP if it comes to that, but they're more interested in the people who are uploading the files, rather than those who are downloading them.)EDIT: I also reccomend you use firefox, along with Downthemall. Works a lot better than the standard download built in to firefox / IE and allows you to resume a download anytime if it fails or corrupts. Prevents you from getting right to the end of the download only to have it fail.
Http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/ (download firefox)
http://www.downthemall.net/ (downthemall)I also reccomend you bookmark the following
Http://www.gbatemp.net (these guys are on the cutting edge of rom hacking and are the ones who most often find a patch or hack for a game that's not working)http://cheats.gbatemp.net/ (the same guys, but this is a database for cheats. Every card should have one of these) Instructions on site for use (Props to Narin)And I would say bookmark Romulation... but who hasn't done that already?-Jason

Yeah, but the majority of the files here (at least in the DS Section) are .Rar files, which Winzip has no clue what to do with. You need winrar (which I recommend) or 7-zip. There are others that can open them too, but those are the primary two that most people use.
