I'd hazard guess and say that you feel drawn to this place because of the regulars in here, or because sometimes things that probably qualify for /b/ material surface.

wow thats old, it was the fastest p2p for dial up at the time but there were almost never any satallites

I first started in 1997-1998(cant remember). My brother had came home and told me that in his school he had saw some kid playing Dragonball Z Hyperdimension(i think) So he made me look for snes9x and the rom. While looking for it i luckly came across Super Mario World

And then i just kept downloading games on my Windows 98 32 GB hard drive 128 Mb RAM.

After that i just kept going till in 1999 my computer messed up. Then my Brother Bought another PC in 2002, And he used to let me use it. I downloaded all my old Genesis/SNES/NES/GBA roms and emus and made a cd with them.

One year ago, my moms bought me a new PC and i got hooked. I downloaded Project 64 and i loved it. I then started to look for epsxe but everytime i found one, it was missing plug-ins and i really didnt understand anything about that(still dont) So i tried my luck with a P2P(limewire) and it came with all plug-ins and everything ready. Then i Downloaded MAME32 But i didnt know how to play the games. So i went on google and was searching and all i kept finding was forums where other people like me had to be explained how to work it. So one i came to this site and signed up and asked for help. Agozor answered quickly and now im here. Here i learned alot, Like how to use MUGEN/Neorage/Chankast/epsxe.

Thanks to all that helped me out as a newb/noob(whichever you prefer to call me)

I remember downloading a bunch of Mame roms around 2000 or 2001. I was excited about being able to play arcade games on my computer. Unfortunatlely, I wasn't able to get it to work for almost a year, ( I think I had the normal Mame, and not the Mame32 version).

Of course I was too impatient to read all the information available.

I may have blundered into a couple forums asking stupid questions..

Once I finally got a rom to work though, I was hooked, and I started getting every emulator for every system ever made. Now sadly, the hunt is pretty much over. (until some newer systems get emulated )

even Gamecop was in level 1 once......

Was he? I'm not too sure...

 

Anyway, I started about 4 years ago when my friend told me he had all the N64 games on his computer. I really wanted to find out about that, so I got really into emulators. He also told me you could download PC games with something called "Azureus," but I had no idea what he was talking about. Today, I have surpassed him and I now give him advice. It feels so good.

I guess I can share my story too, I think it was '97 or '98 and I was at my uncle's house using his computer (AOL yay!) when I saw a program on his pc called "Nesticle" bundled with a bunch of roms. I was like OMG!! This is awesome! I went home and copied the floppy it was on and began to play teh romz! Eventually my folks got a new pc and internet and I started to get more games, snes, genesis, etc

In 2001 or 2002 I signed up for an account on emutalk and quickly got 1300 posts, no real spam though. Anyway, I eventually got banned (political reasons [summoned64]), and joined RomShare, I quickly became a moderator, then a super moderator, and saw a link for 1emulation. I removed it from the post (it had new neogeo roms and nrx hacks) and joined up! From there, as you can say, it's history.

For me, I use to delate 40 MB roms just because I thought they were bad roms, turns out I didnt have neogeo.zip. And this was back then when I had dial-up.

hahaha.. that made me laugh.

 

I remember when I first started with emulation. I found something called VSMC "Virtual Super Magicom" on a BBS back in 1994. It was a SNES emulator. When I started it up, I got my SNES Street Fighter 2 cartridge and then wondered where to plug it into the PC.

 

VSMC is still available on the net:
