I don't know if there is something like this available (its kind of obvious, but I haven't found it ), but I was thinking it would be very useful to have a tool on the caanoo to download from the dl.openhandhelds.org file archive directly, so something like:
you get a listing of categories, browse through the list, you select the game you want to download - program asks for the folder (apps/ games etc) it should put it - the tool then downloads and unzips the file and copies the necessary stuff over (with a bit of intelligence looking for the .ini file in the archive)
This sounds like a thing that is fairly easy using python and one of the pygame GUI toolkits (because of the network modules available for python) - the only thing I am not so sure about: is there an easy way to get the information from the openhandhelds file archive database? in principle you could ofcourse parse the html files, but that would be painful...
