first emulator you every used?

[Malcolm]

gawd, I must be the real geek here, I started out on Basilisk II and Fusion trying to emulate the mac; and I'm still awaiting and for of PPC emulation.

After then Nesticle, Zsnes, uHLE (damn thing, made me but my voodoo2 ) and then the rest ^_^

Who remembers the name of that shareware snes emulator that had the blue channel removed so that the whole screen was yellow?

The full version of the emulator didn't have sound, among numerous other things (which no other emulators had at the time, it wasn't until around late 1997 that snes emulators first had sound and transparency effects), and the full version also required you to boot to the floppy disk which it was distributed on in order to run it. Despite all of that, it was widely considered to be the best emulator during its time.

Ah those were the days, bleem wasn't the first crappy commercial emulator ever to see the light of day and eventualy have its customers wish they could have their money back :happy:

what you remind me right now... :blink: it was a pc emulator in my first 16bit system AtariSte 1040.it was on 2 floppy disks,one for the emu(pc-ditto i think is the name) and the other disk was the original pc dos.i remember i tried to run a pc game but it was too slow with the 1mb ram of my atari.In dos mode everything was perfect... i mean about the commands from the original pc.Man i was so happy, i remember :bounce:

Alphawolf: that emulator was VSMC, the first "real" SNES emulator, and it was indeed my first emulator, I got you all beat . It luckily never progressed passed it's peak, and was very quickly outclassed by free emulators. Zophar's Domain leaves it up for nostalgia.

I greatly enjoyed watching SNES emulation develop...Mode 7, Transparancies, Sound...it took forever to get sound, it was some undocumented otherwise unused Sony? chip that no one could crack. I think the docs were leaked (either that or someone cracked it and released the data,) and all of a sudden *boom* everyone had sound. Esnes (which was the first GOOD SNES emulator) was the first to develop sound.

Esnes? I thought it was the first release of snes9x?

Anyways, I remember zsnes being a huge landmark in emulator releases (probably the second biggest ever, next to ultrahle). The very first release of zsnes supported something that nobody else had up until that time: transparency (well, except nlksnes, but its transparency effects were color limited, and it had no sound, but it was damn fast though, in fact the fastest emulator of the time by far) along with mode7 and a slew of other things that no emulators had before.

I know that I havent been around that long in the emulation community.
In fact I think it was early January 2002 when I started using Snes9x V1.39, when I found out about emulation, got a few games, and I think Secret of Mana was the first official game that I emulated.

Other Consoles:
NES: Nester public beta 4, March 2002

N64: I think it was PJ64 V1.4 (back when I didnt have a D3D card, so I didnt really use it that much until 2003, when I actually got one)

C64: Vice V1.09 around May 2002

I dont use other game emulators, just the ones I had in the past

 

[ScottJC]

First emulator i used was Genecyst, was totally amazed because i thought playing console games on PC was impossible, boy was I wrong.

 

[ra5555]

For me is a GB emulator called HelloGB, that was like 4 years ago when I was only in Grade 8, good times....

 

[Tagrineth]

Snes9x version 0.12.

 

[Harteex]

NESticle or Zsnes... can't remember which I used first.

 

[karth95]

I would say it would have to be a POS nes emulator that I found on the college computer desktop sometime around 1996. I played a few games, then went home and dug around on the net until I found the emulator and a few games. Then I became an addict.

"Hi, My name is Karth, and I'm an emulation junkie."

so exactly which emu is that?

 

[karth95]

I believe it was PCNES. It's died off to the point I doubt you could find it anymore, but, of course, zophar has it. I wonder why even he (presumably) would bother.

 

[Lemmy]

First emu was some apple emu for pc.

First console emu was NESticle

 

[Martin]

I believe the first emu I used was NESticle, hard to remember when you've been around as long as me

/me goes to comb grey hair

 

[Plisco]

Uhle was my first emu. I'll never forget when I first loaded Mario64 thinking it would never work. Those were the days...

 

[gokuss4]

i almost forgot about hellogb, i played that emu to, isn't that the one with midi support? oh and i also used smygb, that was my favorite gb/gbc emulator before i found out about tgb-dual.
