That was way before I first became aware of non-commercial emulation. I was only familiar with Digital Eclipse's commercial software packages from mid to late 1990s with all the well known arcade Atari/Williams/Midway arcade games.
As for stumbling across non-commercial in spring 2000, it started with first visiting Arcade@Home and then going to JoseQ's Emuviews web site and Guru-choc's ArcadeHeaven and eventually on to Gridle's old MAME.net site
By the time I first followed MAME and first version I tried was .37b3, a lot of the games I played in 1980s were already emulated. I missed out on a lot of the early day hoopla breakthroughs.
