I think I'm the first actual hacker to post, so welcome!
I think WINE is used by hackers on the Mac, and then download the tools used by Windows hackers (Advance Map, XSE, etc.). As others have said, the Emulation--moreso the ROM Hacking-- forum is where you should hang, but I'm sure you know that already. Be sure to read the rules etc., though, because the moderators there already have enough of their plate :3
Anyway, I hope you have an awesome time at PC, and I look forward to if and when you post a hack :3
