>- CPS2 kiddiez and the 'where my free romzZzZz at d00d!@#!1!' when that platform was emulated.
From the good old post-2000 AD early years (2001 to 2003) especially with Daves "Final Burn" emulating the first CPS-2 game in January 2001. All of Lev's ztnetwork sites such as RetroGames filled up with kidz posting of wanting all CPS-2 games pronto.
>- Atmospherical Heights, FreePlay, Dave's Video Game Classics, and the others that provided MAME with its first homes on the web.
My first visit was A@H site and then over to JoseQ's EmuViews site. Emuviews was worth visiting because that is where I recall fist seeing Dexter and his Nakashiru crew laughable comments on Emuviews. This may have been just before Dexter made troll appearances on Gridle's MAME.net web site. Dexter had a way with words. :-)
>and a special thank-you to Nicola Salmoria, who likely had no idea what he was >unleashing when he made his initial release public. He's made a lot of people *very* >happy.
And also probably several folks/users with thinner wallets (cash being spent for some various emulation related expense).
