wii scrubber
png | ico
Wii Scrubber v1.21 - Use to view files on Wii ISO files, as well as replace files within the ISO itself. Good for creating custom Brawl backups if you don't use the SD card method of file patching. Using version 1.21 is important; later versions can corrupt the Brawl ISO. DL      
model editing tools / game backup launchers

Blender - Blender is a 3d editing program that allows modifications to the .obj files that come from anim8or. Free alternative to 3ds Max. DL dolphin

Gecko OS - Utilizes Ocarina, but lacks the 99% compatibility that NeoGamma has. Not compatible with Gamecube games. Not to be confused with 'USB Gecko' the hardware, which allows 'RAM poking' via the GCN mem-card slot. DL

THP Play - Allows video playback for most .thp files (video files that are located within Wii or Gamecube ISOs). DL gctedit
