==History==
 
In early 1990s, commercial dumpers for home consoles arrived in the market, allowing the user copy games from the cartrigdes to computer diskettes. So the user could run games directly from diskettes, with the dumper machine attached on the console. So people started uploading games written on disks to various BBSs, and lots of other started just downloading the games and writing disks to play in consoles with machine dumper attached.
 
So, in 1993, someone asked: “If we would play those rom games on PC”. So people started writing emulator software. Between 1993 and 1994, single game emulators started appearing on BBSs.
