Yeah you were around before then... my swiss cheese memory retains that much. Speaking of ipacs I think I'm finally going to upgrade all the ones I have left....they are first revision ipacs and as you've noticed it can be a pain in the butt getting them reprogrammed. I might risk bursting into flames by replacing them with zero delays. (Don't hit me.) |

I remember killer clown group got grumpy and I found BYOAC. My first windows PC. Windows ME first came out.... Soon down graded to 98 till XP came out. I only got it to emulate Atari 8 bit and C64. I found out about MAME and never looked back. |

Even the early 2000s still feel like later emulation history to me. I remember checking Zophar's Domain for emulation news every day, SNES emulators that would shade everything monochrome yellow unless you paid for it. When the first N64 emulator was finally capable of running homebrew pong at 2fps, then everyone's minds collectively blowing when UltraHLE came out and actually running Mario64 at a reasonable frame rate with a 3dfx accelerator. Those were exciting times. |

I bought a 3Dfx card specifically for UltraHLE. I got it to run decently but I only had a keyboard to play with an N64 games didn't work well with that so I really never played anything. I owned a Nintendo 64, but I was just always really into emulation. |

I'm trying to remember if there was a real push for GLIDE wrappers prior to UltraHLE. Seeing it run on a friends Voodoo 2 was one thing, but watching it struggle along on a Rage Pro with a wrapper was even more amusing to me realizing how many layers of abstraction were happening. I was thinking about that earlier this week while researching how to get Diablo II to run best under Win 10. Apparently 3dfx emulation is considered 'best'. |
