I got intrested in the Homebrew/Emulation scene back in 2001 when I only had a computer and no consoles to speak of. I had gotten sick of playing PC games and was surfing the internet looking for a new game to play. I randomy typed in a old arcade console game name "Mario Brothers" and found a link to a Emulation site(emulationworld I think). I imediately fell in love with MAME and SNES9x. These days you will find me in front of the tv in my room glued to my dreamcast playing mostly homebrew (like 85% of my DC collection is homebrew) games or game collections. I am addicted to Law56ker's nxdoom collection currently. My interest in coding has been piqued again thanks to the homebrew comunity and I may try my hand at doing a port of a game or completely writing a new one.
