@AmandaRose "I was there before the internet when you had to give people your homebrew on tapes or floopy disks "
Don't forget typing in BASIC listings from print magazines.
100-in-1 Gameboy carts, HK imports and PS1 chips, early 2000s emulation, first flashcart was M3 Lite + Passcard soon after got the Wiikey, PS2 chip and since that time regularly read GBATemp.
@D34DL1N3R "The problem with most of these answers is that they still pretty much tell how long a person has been in the homebrew scene." That's the point of the thread You gotta be indirect.
