knowledge is no weight to carry :angel:
RayB:
Discovered it shortly after it was perfected to play Pac-Man. (1996?)
ssc arcade:
I was searching for some cabinet plans for our bedroom and found some people sites for their mame cabinets, about 2 month later I was building my cabinet. I had never even heard of mame or emulators before that. As soon as I saw mame and what some people had built I had to do it.
knave:
I first found Mame while searching for freeware for my casio pocket PC in 2000. I had used a few console emulators but just wasn't interested at that time. Seven years later I played a few namco games on a gameboy and decided I wanted to play them on my PC. Poof! instant new hobby. (Thanks to all the information and kind folks on this board)
DaOld Man:
Two years ago, about a couple weeks before Christmas, a friend told me about this arcade machine that they had bought. I stopped by after work one day to check it out.
It had about 200 or so games on it, and it was set up for one player. He showed me the insides and I saw how it used a un-cased PC and a keyboard hack. He said as many old pcs that I have laying around I should be able to make one. (I work on PCs and build my own.) He gave me the email of the guy that built it for him. After a few emails, I found myself googling all sorts of things such as Mame.
The summer after that first encounter, I built my first mame machine.
