===Tools & emulator forks for auto-download===
Here's the most complete Amiibo set from:
===Sony PlayStation Portable PSP / Vita / PlayStation 3===
Similar situation as Nintendo. As of now, you need RAP license files and the game dump proper to install your game on your CFW'd console, or on real hardware. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for and only digital games.
PSNStuffX is another PC downloader tool that comes with a database and covers some games that PSNdl doesn't.
An even newer project is [https://beta.nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation], offering both a database of pkg links and licenses, as well as a Windows downloader and auto-converter: [https://nopaystation.com/vita/npsReleases/ NPS Browser]
For PlayStation 3 game updates, go to <code>https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/{game_id}/{game_id}-ver.xml</code> (replacing <code>{game_id}</code> with the game's ID) to see links to available update .pkgs for that game.
