My buddy and I discovered nesticle one day,after getting my new HP 633mhz celeron w\2X cd writer! anyways after picking my jaw up off the ground after being able to play Trojan (an all time favorite over here)
I remember building my rom collection one rom @ a time,no torrents then,on a 56k modem.I then somehow stumbled upon the legendary MAME.DK site,and since then ive never looked back.From nesticle to MAME32 to the present it has been quite a ride,from building my collection one rom @ a time to now where I have over 50 systems in my Hyperspin setup
I love emulation\preservation and always will.I get ecstatic when I think of what is coming in terms of emulation.
