It would be really cool to read interview with the authors of other great emulators of the era too.
My personal favorite was NO$GMB ("nocash gameboy"), which was written in x86 assembly for DOS and allowed a 33MHz 486DX to emulate a Gameboy Color at multiples of full speed. Just the interface gives me waves of nostalgia :)
The author, Martin Korth is suprisingly still very active in the emulation scene [1], and still lives the life of a starving artist. Interesting guy and great programmer/reverse engineer.

- ubertaco 9y agoOh wow, that takes me back. The section for NO$GMB even says: The Windows version is for Windows 95/98/NT/2000, it requires a rather fast computer (at least 66MHz suggested), it is including a typical windows user interface (new in this version), and it is probably easier to install, and more compatible to newer windows versions.
- torso 9y agoI wrote the Game Lad emulator more than a decade ago. NO$GMB was kind of the biggest rival in emulation accuracy. Eventually I reached a point where there were games that worked in Game Lad and not in NO$GMB and vice versa. Great times. Edit: Just checked. Last version released on 2001-10-05.
