When did you first learn about emulators

[Super Ramon]

Today years old .

 

[WaveMolecules]

Playing resident evil 3 on my macbook on my flight from Mexico a couple of days ago was magical

zsnes and snes9x in high school. NeoRageX for neo geo. EPSXE kept the streets fed. VBA and NO$GBA

In this exact order


I believe the first game I tried was DBZ: Hyper Dimension for SNES. shyt wasn't even translated yet


And my young ass believed in the "delete before 24 hour" rule at the time

Retroarch

That's not an emulator breh. It's a frontend that runs emulator cores on it. In fact, RA has various MAME cores so you're probably running one of those.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Surprisingly late. I was actually learning ways to play isos and stuff on the actual consoles like dreamcast and psp until I found out about a GBA emulator during the process of learning how to play Pokemon games on my psp. Like many that turned out to be VBA, and from there it was history.

 

[SNG]

I'd say it was 1998 or 1999 I was messing with that zsnes heavy back when it was only dos.

 

[King Sun]

Crazy enough through ggpo. In 04

 

[Mr. Negative]

zsnes and snes9x

then epsxe

went from that straight to MAME

then a dreamcast emulator just for Skies of Arcadia (fail)

tapped out at MUGEN, where I got to the point I only watched custom chaacters fight like I was watching wrestling

 

[MikelArteta]

used to play those xmen games alot

 

[Knowledge]

Zsnes when. I was a kid then that neo Geo emulator was the truth with metal slug

 

[hotbeezie]

Snes9x

about 2001 I thought I’d never play secret of mana again

 

[b33lz]

1996 was lit

 

[DickAlmighty]
