hey all, chipsnblip here. been an occasional visitor for a while, and thought it was about time i signed up. i'm a 40-something gamer and crt/computer enthusiast who's been enjoying the fruits of labor from the homebrew and emulation scene since the days of nesticle. on the sidelines as a casual observer, it's fascinating to see how the tech has evolved throughout the years, and i'm glad to be here at what seems to be ground zero for much of its development.
