EmuXHaven Looks like a good site for emulation related interests.
GSHI Home to a huge selection of cheats and game enhancement codes, from retro to recent.

People

Digital Reflections College friend's website (Chris Moore) with little graphics demos and small games that arise as by-products of his experimentation.
Alpha II Productions Useful emulation programs by AntiResonance (SPCTool particularly)
Fusoya's Niche Useful utilities by Fusoya (like Lunar Magic and ZCompress) plus translation goods.
KoroSoft Site of a Canadian friend.
Qwertie's Oasis The most helpful SNES docs out there (SNES Knowledge Base!) plus the emulator SneQr.
Rage Games Interesting old NES hacks and SNES demos, plus old game reviews and Game Genie codes.

Software

Iron C.L.A.D. A general purpose data editor that unlike game specific editors, uses map files to specify where important locations are and what type of data they are. Although it can be very useful for console game savestates, it technically is capable of being used on anything with fixed locations, as long as there is a map file for it.

Software/Audio

SPC Tool SNES SPC player and converter

Software/Graphics

vSNES SNES game savestate utility (can help make maps like ones you see on vgmaps). It's like BgMapper, but newer, more capable, and more user-friendly.
TilEd Multi-Console tile editor supporting quite a few different tile modes.
TilEd2002 Newer TilEd with freshened GUI (not sure if same author?)
SMC-Ripper Tis a bit dated now, but it was the first console graphics viewer I used.
IrfanView Great picture viewer. Intuitive, fast, supports all common and many unheard of file types. Can easily navigate folders with arrow keys, and shows better thumbnails than Explorer.
JPEGcrop Crop/rotate/flip JPGs with no detail loss.

Software/Games/Emulators

ZSNES The fastest SNES emulator I know (the one which most of my utilities work with the savestates of, with SpriteView loading colors from them, TileView jumping to WRAM, and BgMapper loading the scene).
Snes9x One of the two greatest SNES emulators, around for longer than ZSNES. Best of all, you can more than play it, you can get the source to it and find out how the SNES works.
SneQr This emulator lacks sound and transparency, but it has the one thing I really needed, full debugging ability. The source is also available.

Software/Video

MPlayer MPlayer is a an open source media player that plays almost anything you have (available for all major operating systems). It's not as GUI friendly as others, but the configurability and capabilities are what really count.
ASF Tools Processes ASF,WMA,WMV, including join, split, repair, extraction of audio, and my reason for downloading: can convert stupid ASFs into useable AVIs (rids the seek lag and even produces slightly smaller file).

Art/Music

Overclocked Remixes Great archive of remixed video game music! "Founded in 1999, OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation, preservation, and interpretation of video game music."
Videogame Music Archive Good archive of video game music MIDIs that's been around > decade.
SNES Music Large SPC music archive of old games

Art/Images/Maps

VGMaps The Videogame Atlas, with lots of maps of old 2D video games.
Video Game Maps @Ian-Albert Detailed level maps of few old games - like Zelda LTTP! (overall, seems like an interesting fellow too).
SNES Maps Hobbyist (Rick Bruns) who has made a few maps of SNES games.

Art/Images/Anime+CG

DeviantArt Great repository of artist's works, covering a wide range of styles and mediums.
Tinami This central directory of manga artists is a great resource to find good cg artwork.
The Ultimate Animanga Archive Site with pictures and music from all the Anime series I have seen, plus plenty of ones I have never even heard of.
