Nice long read, I really enjoyed that.
I remember digging through archive.org trying to find info on the developers of nesticle and stuff. so this was right up my alley.
Is "icer addis" his real name? shits sick.
Actual OP here.
I couldn't think of anything more autistic to sit around and argue about, personally.
>>3962567
>proceeds to post thread about a emulator with a pair of hairy nuts as an icon
They couldn't even get the author.
Lame.
Can't we all, like, get along? I love this board and I love you guys.
>>3962578
The most influential early NES emulator, yes. Whatever dumb icon a teenage developer used doesn't negate it's importance in both retrogaming and the emulation scene.
Sorry you have dick issues.
>>3962583
sup ernie
That moore guy, mindrape seems like a total faggot.
>dude IM responsible for you enjoying nes games in the 90's, yeah I stole that source code, the developers was a dick
rest in piss nigger

>>3962587
But we gotta stick together. This is a good board we have here, with good knowledgeable people. We share a common interest, we really do. It's not like /v/ at all where the majority of anons just come to shit all over the board. All for one and one for all, right?
>>3962584
Sup mysterious stranger.
>>3962594
Fuck this board, seriously, I hate all of you.
>>3962601
If it was deleted it probably wasn't up to quality standards. If you're new to doom ya' gotta lurk and try the games yourself, my friend.
>>3962598
>admitting to shilling your article
what even
>>3962605
Well if you're talking shit of course it's gonna get deleted, what do you expect?
>>3962609
Actually, Ernie is part of one my character names in a game. Thought it was a fag I knew who browsed here as well.
>>3962486
Thanks, Shitman! You helped make middle school a lot less awful!
>>3962625
Watching Genesis, Magic Engine, Nesticle, NeoRageX, and SNES9X roll out with high compatibility and playing well on lower end computers was a magical time, man.
>>3962583
I worked on zophars domain too, a lot of people did, who gives a shit
>>3962620
>>3962614
That is basic 4chan netiquette though. Lurk.

I used to play Nesticle on a crappy 166 MHz P1 all day long with roms downloaded from GeoCities/Angelfire/etc. It was a goddamn miracle in 1997, man.
>>3962486
that website is garbage
>>3962657
OP here. Agreed. I don't visit most of those sites typically because most of the unemployed, inexperienced college kids churning out filth there are fucking insufferable.
A friend sent this one my way and I just thought it was a good read.
>>3962629
You're a moron. Go lurk and pretend to belong somewhere else.
>>3962610
>what were you expecting
freedom of speech

How far we have come
>>3962690
Didn't you hear? That died when m00t still owned the joint and pulled an Alexis Ohanian 'cause he got spooked by Scientology.
>>3962702
I must of missed that, can I get a quick rundown.
1 sentence will suffice.
It was a good read, OP. Thanks for that.
Fuck all the faggots in your thread to death tho
>>3962716
>anons decide to push in Scientology's shit
>it goes better than expected
>m00t gets uncomfortable that his site was used for something meaningful for a change
>starts swinging the banhammer with wild abandon
>"gtfo of my site u fags, form a movement somewhere else!"
>even mentioning it gets you a warning
>anons cry foul
>"wtf m00t! haven't you heard of free speech?"
>thus sayeth m00t:
>"there is no free speech on my website you niggers"
Of course it didn't stop him from absolutely creaming himself over how very very open 4chan was later on when he won that Time magazine award.
i came in expecting a thread about the history of emulation, not someone butthurt that they got told "LURK MOAR FAGGOT"
>>3962763
LURK MOAR FAGGOT
>>3962741
I replied to you and my comment was deleted by a mod.
>>3962771
I know.
>>3962787
I'm replying to your reply to my reply, over.
>>3962486
>vice
Fuck no. Can someone archive it please?
>>3962580
Kronk/sardu/icer has moved on, he rarely talks about those days
>>3962616
Quite a stretch there, m8
>>3962486
It still amazes me a group of devs who created what could be considered shovelware went on to pioneer emulation for the NES and Genesis.
>>3963234
Not retro, but...
I didn't realize the author's name was Ernie because I typically don't read cancerous blogs like Vice.
>>3962486
>visual medium
>reading text
Kek.
>>3962486
This is such an interesting read for me! I still live in Kansas. I went to Wichita High, and this guy was a year or 2 ahead of me. I had no idea he was up to this... If I had only known the future...
>>3965518
This is still shocking... I had actually even talked to him casually in the lunch hall about video games...
>>3963225
Except knowing this is vice I somehow doubt they tried very hard.
