The thread title pretty much sums it up. Is anyone here interesting in emulation.

I myself love emulation. I have racked up a little over 3700 posts on the PCSX2 forums in 8 months.
 





Emulators are great and have come a long way on modern hardware. The early versions of NESticle would struggle to run on the computers we had at the time. These days even a mediocre PC will run almost anything up to a Xbox/PS2/Wii.

Some Emulators I've used
  • SMYGB
  • MAME
  • Mupen64
  • Corn
  • Dolphin
  • Basilisk II

My i5 still struggles on some ps2 games.
 
I play a lot of MAME, makes me feel better about not having an arcade cabinet lol.
As for pretty much every other console I have the real thing (yes I have a big retro game collection)
 
Emulation has been one of my steady passions since 1997. I've actually used an emulator for the first time in 1993 (it was a Spectrum emulator running on Amiga hardware), but it was when I got my first Internet connection in 1997 that I started following the emulation scene constantly. The first emulator I ran on a PC was DosUAE, because I wanted to keep using my Amiga software on my PC. In the same year, I had even connected my Amiga 500 to my PC via serial cable, to transfer files over to the PC. Then I started following emulators of NES (Nesticle), arcade (MAME, Callus), Genesis (Genecyst), SNES (SNES9X), Playstation (PSEmuPro), Nintendo 64 (UltraHLE)...
Since then, I've never given up on following the recent developments in the emulation scene. In 2008 I even convinced the author of nullDC to make a graphical plugin that supports stereoscopy with the nVidia standard. And in 2013 I started making regular releases of my very own Commodore 65 emulator.
