It was in August 2001 for me when I did "it [emulation] the first time :
In a forum I heard about the way to play SNES games on my computer.
I first though ... "WTF ?" and thought it might be impossible to play games on the PC.
So I did a google search and finally got to a German ROM page and downloaded SNES9x and my first ROM ever (though I had and still the US cart too ^^) and started SNES9x ...
I was impressed but was not satisfied fully with SNES9x ... so I got ZSNES and got far more satisfied and kept it

Someone (I can't remember who, and I can't seem to find it right now) in here mentioned the Kult of Kefka site. I'd like to make a brief note about how much that site ruled. It had loads of stuff, and sometime last year(?) it just... dissapeared. 'Tis the way of the awesome site, sadly.

Anyhow, it was quite a while ago when I got into the emulation thing. I can't quite remember, but I have reason to believe that I found out about it through my endless Chrono Trigger-related searching. I think I was around eleven at the time. All I can solidly remember is that the first time I played a rom, it was Chrono Trigger. I played it on SnesX, and the frameskip was retarded, but I was so amazed at the possibilities implied that I really didn't care.

About a week later, I got wind of ZSNES and an FF6 rom, and the wonders haven't ceased since.

A friend told me about it when I first got my computer in 98 or 99 but he seemed to be very confused about it,then I did research and started downloading SNES roms like there was no tommrow, really for a year that was all I used my comp for.

A friend of mine had ZSNES and I thought, that will I have,too.
The 1st rom I played was DBZ Super Butouden 2 and I liked it.

All I remember is that my "ex" reminded me about emulation. I heard about it before but never tried it .He said he was playing some games and I asked how and stuff and after that I remember lookin' for games and stuff I wanted to play XD.

I think there may be a lot more people into it now... Call for Help (show on TechTV for basic comp help) did a segment on it. StellaX, ZSNES, and ePSXe, I believe.

[major game companies] aren't going to be happy about that.

I got into it from EGM's short on Challenge Games. Somehow I found this place with that and ended up here with a few ROMs.

Oddly enough I used to think that someone had programmed the game for a computer perfectly ^^;; I'm an idiot sometimes...

"Hmm, I want to play SMW and Super Metroid, but I don't have an SNES anymore. I wonder if I can play SNES games on my PC?"

*google for "play snes games on pc"*

Then I proceeded to download ZSnes and play a bunch of games, which led to me getting NESticle as well.

About 2 years ago in an after-school class...

My friend approached me and said "Do you have "Game" ((forgot what it is))"
I said no... And he told me there's a way to play it on a PC, and also, get it for free...
I replied with "How"
And then he gave me a floppy disk with an emulator on... I think it was a GB color one...

As well as that, he gave me a site link with roms on... And I used some words I found on the site on google search, and hey presto... It was if I'd taken the red pill all along

I think around 1998 I thought about my old broken NES and the cool games it had. So I thought there might be something on the internet that would let me replay them, I searched and found Emulation.(now I use it for more than playing old favorites though).
