I've successfully "ported" NESColumns to the Nemo file manager, used by the Cinnamon desktop environment on certain Linux distributions. In theory, it might also be compatible with GNOME Files (formerly Nautilus), though some modifications might be necessary.
June 14, 2021
NESColumns has been updated to recognize the NES 2.0 "exponent-multiplier" size format used by some special ROM images.
October 7, 2016
Better late than never, I have rewritten my "NESColumns" Explorer extension to work with Windows Vista and later.
October 29, 2012
I have returned to NESdev, and with me I have brought the Visual 2C02 and a new CopyNESW build with USB support (from bunnyboy's CopyNES USB version) and 64-bit support (at least for parallel ports).

The iNES Header Editor below, originally uploaded a few weeks ago, has been updated to match changes that had been made to Nintendulator.
