I also wanted to play my Commodore 64 games on the PC. So 5 years ago I searched the web if that was possible and yes it was. So i created a cable to copy my c64 from the old C64 diskdrive to my PC. Retro Rules.

mame.dk was great... It has every god damn MAME rom I ever heard of... Oh well, we always have IRC, don`t we ;)

First I liked node99, then it went bye bye, then I liked archaic ruins, then it sorta dissapeared with parodius.com, after that I stuck with emu news service, which I bet many here don't remember because it dissapeared shortly after UltraHLE showed up. (around the time that the "scene" realy exploded). Haven't realy found a true favorite site since, none of em have been updated as frequently as they did back in the day (probably because there is way to much to keep track of now)

Zophars domain has always sucked, and always will :p. The Dump shall one day return with the death of the IDSA :D

BTW, I hate pokemon with a passion.

danm, i remember all those sites, seem like yesterday when i used to get windjammers from the dump on my 33.3

The Dump will live in our memories :) Aside from that there are only two sites that I favored at one time that still remain, emucamp and daves classics (well sorta, vintage gaming network now). I dont remember why I quit visiting emucamp, daves classics simply sucked after a while. I have seen zophars domain a lot almost since day one, and it always just seemed like the ass crack of the emulation community.

i never been a fan of zophar's, but vg (daves) has sure gotten gayer, popups, ect. Never heard of emucamp, but there was this one site, that had soo much roms, gotta try and remember the name. It was something like emuzone with sonic as the character of the page. And what about the top 25 emulation site toplist? damn, memories

Vimm's Lair was ultra slow, but ultra large selection of US ENglish SNES and NES ROMs.

too bad they've destroyed all the ROMs. And...here's the best part...you get banned for asking why...for the simple reason that you didn't read the "FAQ", which doesn't say no shit...

yup plasticman was very good, but gave me a few bad dumps, had a very limited neogeo roms section, and was a bit slow.

the site that I had as my HP was Emuholic.com but now i pretty much get my news here on the board.

i like to think emu64 serves the community with the fastest n64 news, which is usually picked up by more general sites like emuhelp and ngemu.com

but usually we get it first :]

Yeah whats flow spelled backwards? I own you pal. :p j/k. Yeah nice site but if only it were more broad. In all of my ranting, I forgot to mention that my current favorite is www.emulatronia.com. Although I can't fluently speak spanish, reading is easy. The site is very frequently updated with everything. Still not as good as the oldies though.
