Your First Emulator - Page 4

godseeker · May 16th, 2008

you reminded me of great times...thanks

my first game on an emulator was final fantasy 3
i remember downloading it for one month+ and coping it all night(12 floppy disks)
the first time i played it i was impressed by its wonderful graphics and really really good scenario...

so much changed in 14 years back then i could never think that in such short time i will play games like ff10,ff12

i was too happy to play those crappy graphic games(ff3,zelda...)

time change people really fast

733 AMD Duron
64MB RAM (PC133 I believe)
NVidia Vanta 16MB
Soundblaster Audio
30GB Harddrive
Windows ME (Which later had XP Installed after it was upgraded to 192MB ram)

I believe it had a 150 watt power supply. Thats alot of power!

Heh yeah my system was nearly the same. 733 Duron, Voodoo3 3000 AGP (this thing was the **** way back). I remember hunting hand and foot to find a glide fix for voodoo cards so I could finally see the health hearts in OOT. I had all the controller buttons bound to my logitech wingman joystick, it was incredibly weird from being on an actual N64 but so stoked to just play it to say the least.

Huhu.....wow. Thinking back, my first experience with an emulator was 'Genecyst', one of the better Sega MegaDrive/Genesis emulators (was still DOS based..

)...this was back in 1996 or 1997, IIRC. Wow....over 10 years of emulation in my life.....time passes fast.

Oh, there was also KGen....nearly forgot about that.

I was introduced to emulators long before I used or tried one. Sometime around 1998 or 1999, some friends who lived a few doors down in the apartment building (at the time) had a computer and they used to show me that you could play Super Nintendo (and other console) games on your PC using them. I remember seeing one of them playing Super Metroid, and it was pretty cool. I'm pretty sure my first experience with an emulator was on a Super Nintendo one as well (SNES9x or something), followed by a Nintendo one (NESten or something). It wasn't until I first tried ePSXe that I became more heavily interested and participating in emulation though, and that was somewhat recently (a few years back). One thing I remember about that at the time too (because it was here) was that the whole copyright thing with BIOS was new to me (NES and SNES emulators didn't have or need them), and I made the mistake of just blatantly saying I downloaded it. ePSXe is still my favorite emulator, and pretty the only one I use outside of ocassionally playing old Super Nintendo favorites (I'm starting to toy around with PCSX2 just a bit). I'm looking forward to the update for ePSXe too.

its going good.....especially if you love emulating Final Fantasy Games

emurex · May 22nd, 2008

well mine was cvgs. yeah I know you all compare it with the latest and epsxe.

**emwearz** · May 22nd, 2008

Mine was Zsnes, I was arguing with a kid in class over what a 'Adventure Game' was, he was crapping on about Zelda, and I was crapping on about Monkey Island and the like, so we agreed we would bring in a game of both for each other to play. Sure I felt ripped off when this kid handed me 2 floppy discs and I handed him my shinny dual CD The Curse of Monkey Island, but I traded none the less.

Thus Zsnes was the first emulator I used, and Link to the past the first game I emulated, it would have been on my brothers older computer sometime in 1998 (I use to get my brothers older machines).

I think it would have been his Pentium set up which was a Pentium @ 166MHZ paired with a Voodoo 1 (I remember when my brother first showed me Unreal with his new SLI'ed Voodoo2's and him and my dad were like WOAH! and I was just like sweet I get the old one lol).

I think Callus emulator was my first arcade coin op that I failed to test and finally understood how it works then Snes9X was also failed to understood until I got some help and understand how to ran it. Wow, what a long time ago!

NexXxus · May 22nd, 2008

my fist emulator was a Gameboy emu, but can't remember wich one.
The second was Bleem ^^

hanibal81 · May 22nd, 2008

F-3582 · June 13th, 2008

My first one was UltraHLE. I still had my Voodoo2 back then, so I suppose it was some eight years ago.
