I don't remember as I had gained over time a 'list' to download and grew up without a computer and without direct access to the Internet, as school didn't count.

It may have been Chrono Trigger though on a floppy drive that I ended up never even using, with an emulator to go with it, as both might have fit. I was hoping to install it on SOME computer, but I never did get to as I was never left alone with a computer long enough until I was 18+. By then I ended up downloading like a hundred games at once as I had a lot of time to think about what I'd have wanted.

Before such 18+ years I knew people that had emulators and hacked video game consoles, such as a hacked xbox in 2005ish, it had nes games. Such experiences in foster care let me know what was there and to have good taste based on practically polls taken by me from watching people.

The first emulator I ever used was genecyst - a genesis emulator that ran in dos.

I didn't download it - I got it for a fiver from the back of a bootlegger's van. It was on a CD that had pretty much every genesis rom with an English release on it.

I traded Genecyst for KegaFusion a few years later, but that rom collection has quite literally travelled the world with me.

I went over to my friend's house and he had Super Mario World running on a very basic computer, around the time PSX/N64 was the latest console. I couldn't believe my eyes. I got my hands on the emulator and I got games that took the least amount of time to download on dialup: Mr. Do, Ms. Pac-Man, Frogger, Midway Arcade's Greatest Hits. If I recall correctly, Yoshi's Island and Mega Man X2 didn't work at the time. I had a SNES, so I didn't see the need to download the games I already owned. After that I got my hands on NESTICLE and got all the classics, and then GameBoy Color and would play mostly Game & Watch Gallery 2&3, Pop N Music. The latter is surprisingly fun and you should check it out if you like chiptunes music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7TojqzmSJA

It was DBZ Super Butoden 2. I was looking to see if there were any DBZ video games, and found out about the ones out at the time from a fansite, that I want to say was called Planet Namek.

I remember reading about emulation on some sprite comic website. He gave a tutorial on how he made the comics using emulation. I was nervous at first because I read it was technically illegal, but eventually I gave it a shot and downloaded Metroid and Nesticle. I thought the icon for Nesticle was a nose. I'm glad my parents didn't notice it. Anyway, long story short, the first game I played was Metroid and I loved it (Metroid had intrigued me ever since I played Super Smash Bros, but I had never gotten a chance to play it). There have been very few moments in my life that have been truly as awe inspiring as discovering emulation. The possibilities placed before me seemed infinite.

My first emulator was Dave Spicer's Sparcade. (https://www.myabandonware.com/game/sparcade-47o)) I very quickly acquired all the ROMs it supported, though I don't remember how. Might have downloaded them from BBS or University network. The first version supported about 25 games, I think I was most impressed with the emulation of Nemesis (AKA Gradius) and various hacks of Pac Man, such as Hangly Man. The next version of Sparcade supported Salamander and Vulcan Venture and Wardner, but you needed a Pentium for V.V. I used a Gravis Gamepad. The first version of MAME I used supported Commando. And Callus, Genecyst and Nesticle were the bomb. There were also single game emulators, of those, I played Bombjack, Black Tiger and Rygar the most. Finally, arcade perfection at home! It was great.

Super Metroid, I played it on ZSNES with a sidewinder gamepad. I got bodied by noob bridge since I didn't know there was a run button. Anti-piracy design worked, you dog devs you.

Also technically my first emulation experience was a paid one; I played the crap out of Namco Museum. Later on I also got into NES games and basically gave up on 6th and 7th gens after realizing they were dogshit, spent the 2000s mostly playing NES and GBA/DS.

Does it ever. A family friend who watched me after school from time to time gave me her NES and all her games when she bought a SNES. She had just about every big first party title, final fantasy, a few random ones like micro machines. My dad walked in when I was playing it drunk out of his tree and witnessed the pin connectors acting up, which as we all know is standard fare for using a NES. He decided it was irreparably broken and had to be thrown out along with all the games, even with me trying to explain to him how the NES is.

He also once banned me from using the computer because he somehow thought I broke the computer playing Xargon from a shareware disc that his friend had given me. Funny to think about now at least.

Megaman X3 was the first thing I tried after I downloaded ZSNES after learning what emulation was. I really liked X1 and I heard that X3 was both rare and expensive to get ahold of, so I knew it was a good opportunity to try something that I couldn't normally get ahold of.
Then I found out about translated games like Seiken Densetsu 3 and wondered how the FUCK that game never got a real release outside of japan, it was so damn good.
Then I found out all kinds of other games I never heard about and played the shit out of all of them. God bless emulation for giving a kid like me at the time an opportunity to play these games that weren't sold in stores anymore.

i remember I went to private lessons because i sucked at math in school. sadly it was a group of 4 other kids who sucked at it and one teacher who was just a student chick just a few years older than me.

there was this bully in that group who would always pick on me. he would also pick on others but sometimes it was just me and him and the rest were girls and he would pick on me. really annoying. I'm not a wimp but he was three years older.
one time he even punched him during class but i punched him back...

he would SELL ME Pokémon yellow edition (I had red for game boy, and yellow was just a terrible cash grab) and super Mario land 2 (which i actually own on cartridge since it came out) on a burned CD. It was easy money money for him and of course he was ripping me off (I didn't have internet back then) but it showed me that something like emulators exist, that I could run other systems on my pc and Pokémon yellow had just come out - it showed me that i could already play such a new game on pc. it was mind blowing. i think the success of Pokémon really made emulation explode.

I read an interview with the dev. they were just edgy teens coming up with something fun. it reflects the Zeitgeist. modern emulators all have terrible names no one can remember. nesticle is funny and catchy and the program had soul with its graphics. heck because of retro arch i don't even know if stand alone emulators on windows are even still a thing.

recently, with the advanced hardware, the goal of emulators is to be as accurate as possible. down to each CPU instruction of the original hardware.

my actual first was probably something for NES via an early release of nesticle, but the first that I can actually recall is FF2 US for SNES in the mid 90s, probably via ESNES?

Used it to play pokemon blue, good times
I also think I used a lot VGS to emulate ps1 games because I was a poorfag but can't remember exactly if it was this emulator

[Anonymous No.7272426]

Hey guys, I haven't emulated in over a decade and all my programs are outdated to the point where I still have ZSNES. SNES9x was recommended to me, but I'm wondering, is there a resource for what's considered optimal emulators to use per console for convenience (not accuracy)? I'd like to emulate N64 stuff but I still have project 64 and mupen and they're botht he same thing and both basically ass.

[Anonymous No.7272427]

>>7272426
Also to add to the discussion, my first game was so long ago that I can't really remember, but Tales of Phantasia SNES was by far the most memorable.

Use retroarch, watch a youtube video if you don’t get it at first but once you do everything will run well and easily

[Anonymous No.7272450]

>>7272446
I did hear about retroarch, that's the one that is basically all emulators in one more or less with various cores, right? Is it considered convenient? Like with PJ64 I kept having to change plugins for every game I remembered and it still ran like ass.

Retroarch irks the shit out of me because it always crashes trying to load OoT. When it does load, it freezes up at the title screen. I just play OoT on my N64

I love retroarch, it's just I'm too retarded to get OoT to play on it. I have gotten it to play, but when I use cheats it likes to crash mid game. It's annoying. I only use cheats to speed things up. I like to have infinite rupees and a few other things.

I think Mupen is more compatible wit higher resolutions and cheats

There are 3, I think they are called, lib, lib22 and Vulkan. I've tried all 3 and they crash.

I don't know how to do this.

[Anonymous No.7272639]

>>7272634
I'm saying that corrupting the memory is probably what you're doing with the cheats. Especially depending on the source you get them from.

[Anonymous No.7272650]

>>7272639
OK, I see now. I get them from the cheats available from updating retroarch. I try to match the cheat file up with the version of the game I loaded.

[Anonymous No.7272658]

>>7272634
>lib, lib22 and Vulkan
what?
your choices should be glcore, Opengl and Vulkan along with a few others that aren't any good
make sure you've set the video driver in the settings menu and not just the core options

I played through Pokemon Silver in no$gb or something when it first launched in Japanese, which came out like 11 months prior to the NA release. I was too excited for that game and had been following anything I could find of it in magazines, so that's probably why I was able to get through it despite being about 10. Was a waterchad previous gen but I picked Cyndaquil because I liked it.

Final Fantasy 8, didn't run all that great, this was the mid 00s and my pc wasn't as great but man, felt so good to discover i could do it. I had a n64 but was also jealous of psx kids, i couldn't afford both so i missed out on many games i wanted to play.

If you can't find some emulator or Retroarch core to run SNES at a judder free 60fps... I just don't know. I can't imagine being that retarded, dude.

If you don't care about resolution, Mupen64plus core in Retroarch is pretty set-and-forget with Parellel RDP and RSP selected, and even then you can adjust the render resolution if you want things fancy and high res. It'll run everything fine so long as you have a PC considered good by 2014 standards or so.
