[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 10029130, member: 32303"] Had a utopia disc for the DC but never got into the homebrew side of things. Ignoring the "well technically" aspect where the PS1 had SNES emulators of a sort to do the Final Fantasy games it had then it would probably be quite late in the day for me when I got either a GBA flash cart (could look at my emails but the DS out very shortly afterwards, probably 18-19 years ago) and wanted to play GB games (goomba color was not out yet) or homebrewed my xbox (360 was almost out by this point). Though as stated in the opening post I got a box to convert VGA to something my PC/VCR would take in, and later deliberately got laptops and then graphics cards when I went tower to have svideo out (rare in the UK as everything was SCART, composite or RF, component sneaking in via plasma and a few very high end CRT, but my TV at the time had it), such that I could play things on a TV if I wanted to (rarely did as personal computer, and indeed even went the other way and got a VGA box to output VGA from consoles but that was more of a tax dodge). The xbox stuff was mostly just to fill up the remaining few gigs of the stock drive as well for when I left it round my dad's house -- XBMC was well used there but the emulators were for fun when I was not feeling MX vs ATV, SSX or one of the xbox games on disc. Interesting to see a few people come from the MAME/MESS side of things as well. I was aware of it but arcades were never a dominant force in gaming -- they never died (can still go to random seaside towns and play coin op double dragon, house of the dead and latest and greatest) but were also never where the playground discussions went. ROMs were also focused around sets (rather harder proposition on dial up) so that left me to ignore the entire aspect until actually comparatively recently and even now it is more of a thing I do to be broadly conversation on the area than something I truly care about.

I went to a garage sell last saturday, and the lady had a PS2 for sale, but she had a sign on it that said "Nintendo -$50", had to laugh, almost bought but she didn't know if worked, and she didn't have controller or cables, so I passed.
