Depends what I'm hacking. Usually Hex Workshop, Notepad, Calculator, and an emulator (NO$GMB for GB, ZSnes for SNES, FCEUd for NES, PJ64 for N64, VBA for GBA), plus any specific editors for the game.

For certain games, I use different things. But for your practical hacking job (Kirby's Adventure right now) I am using:

Hex Workshop (I used to use Sniper Hex, but boycotted that after a little "incident"), TLP, YY-CHR (I switch depending on the mood I'm in ), FCEUD, Corrupster, Notepad (gotta take notes), and occasionally C++ (editor in works, but I'm still learning C++ ). So, yea, that's about it.

It all depends on what I'm doing...
UltraEdit-32 serves all of my hex-editing needs.
FCEUd is useful for NES debugging (but it still lacks some useful features)
Genesis: GENS (haven't used it much yet, so I can't give much of an opinion )

Other than that, it's all game and purpose specific....
