Ahhhhh. Memories of getting into emulation. Hard to believe that was 13 years ago for me. I was a freshman in college and just finding out how awesome it was to have a high bandwidth, broadband connection full time. I was also introduced to cracked software at the time, and was wondering if there was a cracked version available for Mortal Kombat for the PC. I did a quick search online and was introduced to the MAME ROM. Of course, I had no idea how it worked but unlike so many newbs, I actually read through the FAQs and eventually got it up and running. I was STUNNED that I was playing the actual arcade game and not a port. My descent into emulation madness soon grew to the extent it is now. I found emulators for consoles, and watched as MAME began emulating all of the games I loved as a kid. The Street Fighter's, Mortal Kombats, Pac-Man, etc. I remember being excited when CPS2 games were playable, but soon lost my love of the emulation scene due to the bickering that went on.
I'd have to say the last time I was super uber excited about emulation was when CPS3 was also made playable (since my local arcades had died before SF3 came out so I never really got a chance to play it), when the CPS2 encryption was properly solved, and to a very small extent when Naomi was emulated. But to this point, the bulk of what I really wanted to see emulated has been. The Street Fighter games I loved, and just about all of the Mortal Kombat games. (MK4 doesn't really work that great but I realize it's not a high priority for the proper emulation of it and if it is eventually emulated in full and without bugs, then yeah. I'm not going to go on a hunger strike waiting for it.  )
