BigGui V1.0 (BigGUI.zip)
This utility allows you to extract images from EA .BIG files.
fshEd V0.0.5 (FshEd005.zip)
FshEd is a graphics editor designed to view, build, and edit Electronic Arts .FSH files. FshEd has no paint function, and does not allow direct manipulation of pixels. It can read and convert bitmap files to a number of FSH formats, or convert among FSH formats. FshEd is compatible with a number of Electronic Arts games, especially those under the EA Sports label. FshEd only supports graphics files for PC games, not the console versions. FshEd is a decendent of the Electronic Arts Graphic Editor (EAGE) and has similar features to EAGE, but is a different kind of tool. EAGE supports the viewing of a broader number of file formats, as well as viewing and extracting of files from EA .VIV files. By contrast, FshEd is dedicated only to FSH files.

This plug-in allows you to import the following file formats to FshEd: Tagged Info. File (*.tif, *.tiff), Truevision (*.tga, *.vst, *.icb, *.vda, *.win), Kodak CD (*.pcd), Compuserve (*.gif), Photoshop (*.psd, *.pdd), Paintshop Pro (*.psp), Portable Network Graphic (*.png), Jpeg (*.jpg, *.jpeg).

OEdit (oedit-0[1].2a.zip)
This utility allows you to view and edit .o files in EA titles. Please note that you need to use MorphMesh to edit NBA Live\'s headshape files.
Ditty Importer (wimpdtt.exe)
The Ditty Importer is a utility that will allow you to convert MP3s, WAVs, and AIFs for use with NHL 2001. A ditty is the music played during stoppages in play and during the intermissions. It will also work with other EA Sports Titles such as NBA Live 2000 but the Instructions are only for NHL 2000 so you will need to experiment a little.
