myself i have been a fan of homebrew and emulation since at least 1996 and then the dreamcast scene started back in 1999/2000 if i remember right.

[ojdon]

I got interested in Homebrew because of the PSP. I'd say I started around mid-2006.

[Eviltaco64]

I'd say it was back in 2003 when I was looking for a replacement Dreamcast on eBay. Someone was selling NES and Master System emulators with roms on discs.

It made me curious as to how that was possible. So, I did some research and discovered the world of homebrew (for consoles).

The first time I ever used an emulator for Windows was back in 2000 with NEStron! and Mario 3.

[mike_jmg]

Since I got my first computer, back in 2000 and a friend gave me a cd with snes9x to play snes on my computer.

[apex05]

Either 2002 or 2003 with my first modified Xbox, the lad who chipped it filled it with emulators and a few thousand games.

[tavueni]

Wow! Bloody hell. Now thinking about it, I go back to 1996!

I remember when NESticle and ZSnes were the best/only NES and SNES emulators around. I also remember all the fun I had stripping my DOS 6.2 config.sys and autoexec.bat files to free as MUCH himem available so I could run them on my crusty old 486 DX2 66 with 1MB RAM and 340MB Hard Drive. I had to wait a full two years to be able to upgrade so I could run legendary UltraHLE and Bleem!

How things have changed (and only for the better

Go Homebrew and Emulation!!!!

[rbervoets]

I discovered homebrew when my friend gave me a N64 disk, with mario and zelda x) after that, i did some research and found snes, nes, gba, and all the rest of them

Since 2001, Someone brought a NES emulator to school and ran it on one of the computers. I've been hooked since. =)
