Williams Arcade Greatest Hits (most likely the name is wrong) released in 1994 was written for the Mac first, which was the first multiply game arcade emulator, DASArcade written by Dave Spicer was the first PC (DOS) based multiply game emulator which was release in 95 or early 96. The where a few single game emulators around and some computer emulators also. I still remember getting some single game emulators for DOS that was done in assembly versus C like MAME. There was one that was smaller than the roms, for Space Invaders.
The Playstation William emulator wasn't very good, it barely ran the games at full speed, I know I think I still have the disk for the Playstation around somewhere, I know I still have my Playstation but no wires to connect it to the TV. The Playstation is slow compared to a Computer of that era, I have a friend who programmed console back then.
