There's a very very interesting story about nesticle but unfortunately I've forgotten it. Some kind of drama, a bit edge lord stuff, and I think someone died? It's actually one of the first emulators, ever, though.

It was a very niche community back then though, long before IGN caught wind. Weird I only found out because of a crazy conspiracy theory uncle, though. Thanks for reminding me about UltraHLE, though!

I have a vague recollection about the Nesticle drama, but also don't recall the details.

I know the emulator scene precedes UltraHLE by at least several years. Publicity around UltraHLE just made it somewhat mainstream, and Nintendo learned first-hand about the Streisand effect, lol!
