Re: Hard to believe I'm coming up on my 10 year anniversary with MAME.

I can't believe you've only been around for 10 years, Gat. You're still a n00b. ![](//www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/awe.gif)
I can't even remember anymore exactly when I first used MAME. I want to say the first version I tried was around .26 or so, which would make it the summer of '97, which sounds about right. I can remember waiting with bated breath for every release, because every one added support for something I'd played in the arcades and hadn't seen in years.
I just recently managed to snag a Core i7 system that was being discarded at work to upgrade my ageing Athlon64 X2. It's kind of a weird, hacked up test system, but I've managed to get it running and it's fast as hell. In some ways, it's kind of like the old days, running games at 100% framerate that I wouldn't have had a prayer of running on the old system.
