That's truly nostalgic. I remember a high school friend pointed me to a homepage where I could get programs to play Nintendo consoles on my PC.
This page turned a big reference for Spanish communities to approach emulation scene and it later evolved into emulatronia.com (still up but technically dead today). I remember I was not interested into arcade emulation until the project started to emulate Sega and Capcom titles. That should have happened between 0.34 (December 1998) and 0.35 (July 1999) I think.
