 LinuxEmu has posted an interview with Niels Wagenaar, the man responsible for bringing decent Atari Lynx and Atari Jaguar emulation to Linux. In addition to Lynx and Jaguar emulators, Niels has also programmed NeoGeo Pocket, Gameboy Advance, and Wonderswan Color emulators for Linux. Here's a taste:
LinuxEmu: How and why did you learn to program?
Niels: I learned programming on my trusty old Atari 600XL in 1988 with Basic and Assembly. In 1990 I got myself an Atari ST 1040STF with GFA Basic to extend my knowledge on programming (and this is where I learned about Emulation). It was in 1994 when I got my first P.C. and I began working on extending my programming skils with C (using Borland's compiler).
You can find the full interview over at LinuxEmu here.
