A friend had been into emulation for a long time, and he always talked about it. So, I was bored one day and remembered him blabbering on about "roms". I didn't know what they were, but now I do :PFirst emulator was Project 64, first rom was Banjo-Kazooie :(

My brother's friend told him who told me. I first game to DGEmu, and I haven't ever used anything else. My first emulator was VisualBoy and my first ROM was Tactics Ogre. Then later I got the other emulators, and more ROMS.P.S. Does it cost money to get emulators now?

My parents took away my GameBoy, then my GameBoy Color, then my GameBoy Advance. So I grabbed an emulator. My computer's too heavy for them to take it.

After taking a break from SNES, I returned to it and found out some of the games were no longer working. Chrono Trigger, Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Mega Man were no longer working. These were my favorites, so I looked to how I could replace them. Eventually I came across of the emulations, and here I am now.

I found a rom site accidentally and realized I needed an emulator. The first one I downloaded was oracle of ages for GBC.
