Dasarcade was the first PC arcade emulator or was there some single game emulators on the PC before that, it been 15 years or so. Didn't Nicola have a pacman emulator was before MAME? If so I would have been surprised that MAME 0.01 was generic. I thought Nicola was the first to release the source code which I think it helped in it's 13 years its been around. All I do know is Nicola's MAME 0.01 was slower that others, since it barely run (or did it?) Pacman at full speed on my P75. I think Dasarcade ran Pacman at full speed on my P75, I know the assembly emulators would run it at full speed.
