GBXemu history, or at least what I know of it
haha.
Following is taken from GBXemu official forum thread about GBX history or how people remember it:
I have known GBX since 2002. My cousin told that he knew
how to play GBA games on his computer and showed me GBX.
form there I started to download roms. Then that gay
RomShare opened and I couldn't download anymore roms. My
cousin was finished with GBX. I didn't look at GBX for
the whole year of 2003. Then when I checked GBX
somewhere at Januray of 2004 it said something of a new
site site was being created or something. Then when the
other side of my cousins left and moved, I had noone to
talk to and shiT. So I joined the forum.It was unitl
three days later that the forum went down and Issac and
xaix had they're liitle gay fight and then Issac went on
to re-open EmuForum. Over at GBX, everyone hated
DevilDRX. He was one retarded twelwe year old little
f**k. After that, Issac came back after PMed him if he would
ever go back to GBX again. And he did. Then after a few weeks Issac turned into xaix and came
on the forum. Onmi had to hack the mod list and turn
himself admin. Me and some other fellow members were on
his sercet mod team. That lasted for a few days till
xaix allowed onmi have the mod team. Every thing was
going well. I had met friends with Ricky, fishin and
Anti-Drug. After that lots of Legends comeback and
demand modship. It happens......for a while. That's where we had out third forum clean out. And out
last one too. Eventually the legends were demodded. Then
the "dream team" was created. I was a G-Mod at the time,
but I then soon demodded for reasons unknown. I was the
only member that has been demodded and never left.
w00tness. Then came the hackers with the bullshiT you
peeps already know about. Lazydude
GBoy creates GBX, downloads everything is
cool lots of people joined including the old crowd of
Smoka, CD, Hiroshi, and Tirus... yeah thats his name I
think bah
anyways, at one point CD was mod I
believe and xAix was admin, then things started to go
downhill and CD broke off and created a invision forum
called G-Masters, a lot of oldies went to G-Masters but
stayed here as well, xAix and Hiroshi became admins at
G-Masters, it was a success and umm Hishoi went nuts one
day and deleted every single mod/admin cept for CD,
pissed off a lot of people including Wiserommer (who was
using his server for the roms) anyways xAix as lying
about something so they had a big fallout between GM and
GBX. Everyone choose sides and hated each
other.
GMers were considered the "elite" crowd
while GBX was the "noob" crowd. Then more stuff happened
and GBoy "dissappeared" xAix said he died or was in a
hospital cause of a car accident and that he lives in
Russia (o.O) thus he can't talk. My guess is the dude
grew up and just left.
Anyways Tirus created http://www.mxemu.com/ with xAix, but
one thing led to another they screwed each other over
and mxemu belongs to xAix, in definance tirus created http://www.mxemul.com/ (doesn't work
anymore he give up) it was never really that
popular.
Anyways using the GBX domain name, xAix
still got a steady of newcomers to keep the place
alive... n00bish but alive.
Last year a new team
was formed here but the team hated each other got flamed
a lot and broke apart, then there was a series of
hackings that got really out of hand, all the vets here
left for GM as well and others just didn't care, and now
Issac came back and this is it... yeah... lol Dream
Weaver GBX evolution
I'm probably the oldest member here. I've been here
since 2002 i think. Most of what Dream said is true, but
i don't think Smokes, CD, Moshi and Tyris (O.o?) were
really old, old, vets. The oldest vets were people like
Jon-Tom (JT), Genexi2 (some guy once pretended to be
Genixi2, by calling himself Genexi3, and saying he
couldn't login to his old account, luckily CD, frick, me
(lol), and Jon-Tom found him out, before that gullable
xAix character admined him), Sephiroth (super old, but
he just disappeared ),
Mina (lol, JT and her got in a fight so she left), and
they're about all the staff i can remember who were
actually important.
The two main posters, and
most popular members at the time were two unique
members, one was called cpM, the other was called
crazydude21. In the end, a poll was made up looking
for the next mod, and crazydude won. (Hypr didn't win
because some n00b cheated for him ). Other kool things that happened was
Hiroshi, who still comes here from time to time was a
mod then. And Frickendevil who comes here from time to
time to cause trouble was modded, then de-modded because
lots of people hated him (lol)
Then what
happened? Monso became a postwhore and was the first
'Super ROM-Request Filler' and made at least 1000 of his
2500 posts there. He led everyone in the post count much
like how CrimsonBlooD leads it now, only back then there
were at least 15 members with over 1000 posts.
Eventually everyone left to G-Masters, so only a few of
us were active, with some of the vets visiting from time
to time. Then the forum just died, and so did GBX, until
it's revival about 3 months later. (With a whole new mod
team, picked from the G-Masters vets heh ). That's about where Dream's story kicks in.
I don't really know what happened before 2002, i'm sure
there were quite a few stories, then too. Crazylife
Dream, It's Tyris, not Tirus xD
Ashlee, You
didn't mention DaZ or JC =O
I'm not sure exactly
when this happened since it was a while back, but no-one
has mentioned it so i thought i'd throw in what i
knew.
GBXemu were leeching roms (From chinagba?),
xAix was questioned about it since no-one believed she
had permission to leech them, so she created a
screenshot of an email (With the email and everything
blacked out) of the so called "permission" for her to
leech from ChinaGBA.
Someone then contacted
ChinaGBA about it who denied the e-mail and contacted
xAix. I'm not exactly sure how, but they get her to stop
leeching and i believe that was the last time there was
ROM's on the site.
Since then it's been Rom
Requests and Rom share. The old Rom Share, people used
to be able to upload ROM's, but problems like lack of
space got that stopped and now we have the pathetic
linking thing you see today.
About two years
after that incident, (or it might of been one and a
half) someone offered xAix the ability to share their
roms, (I'm sure it was either GM or G2Emu) but xaix
ignored them and they got pissed of and left.
Oh,
and i can't remember the details very well, but there
was also the whole domain theft thing happening with
emuvortex. IF anyone could remember that, it would be a
good read. Pixie
Just to
clarify about the details of that election, you have me
confused with Catphish (guy with animated MegaMan X
avatar / HomeStar Runner). All my votes were legit and
if I remember correctly, I came in third with 19 votes.
Catphish's vote count nearly edged with CD's (who had
27).
As for the days when we had that crappy
Pokemon theme on GBX, yeah the community was good,
EXCEPT FOR ONE THING: xAix and GBoy were never there to
be seen or heard. I do recall Jon-Tom complaining about
the abscence of xAix and how his/her absence is
affecting the moderator team. When xAix came back, that
he-she made some dumb moves. As for the fight between
Mina and Jon-Tom, well guess who put the gasoline into
that fire...
So I don't really see how GBXemu was
good back then, although I did enjoy helping out a lot
with a couple of my buddies (especially Kanga and LuBu
whom I never heard from for a long time due to personal
situations). Perhaps, it was the people who contributed
that made it better, not the crappy administration this
community has ran on for the past years (not referring
to the sub-admins).
Also, to fill the gaps in
DreamWeaver's story, the conflict between G-Masters and
GBX started with xAix leeching off of ChinaGBA. xAix claimed he had
permission to do so, but it turns out (according to the
ChinaGBA staff) that it was a big lie. So not
only did xAix suffer a heavy blow from G-Masters, but
from ChinaGBA as well (i.e. by breaking away from GBX as
well as dis-linking the ROMs xAix leeched) The
Hypr One!
Heyyyy people remember me Just
thought I'd drop by for old times sake, see whats
happening these days. I can give you a bit of a timeline
of this place as far as I can rememeber
Joined in
about July 02 (that would make me 16, nearly 20 now,
blimey)
Genexi2 was the most active mod at this time,
as was I think Hiroshi, but cant remember any others. I
was just a member then.
Forum then went down for
at least a couple of months, when it came back I was the
only reeeaaaly active member (I was a spammer basically)
and so xAix (who IS a male) made me a mod. There was a
few weeks of chaos in the forums basically, none of the
other mods were around at all, there was no admin, and
one mod on their own cannot handle an entire forum. It
wasn't very fun for me
xAix then added more mods,
there were oldies like Jce with me, but I forget the
rest. I strongly disagreed with some of the choices
though, it caused a big seperation in the mod team. I
seem to recall people referring to the 'senior
mods' I
basically didn't like how a lot of the new guys
moderated the forum (ok, i was a bit big for my boots)
and when I voiced my concerns over one random thread
that I didnt understand the reason it was locked, Mina
just... went nuts over it basically. It was very silly,
I didn't accuse her directly but when she confronted me
I did admit I didn't think she was a very good mod- so
she left.
Meanwhile Zelion was causing havok in
the chat, he was spreading a lot of shit basically and
me and Jce stuck up for xAix in the whole thing, meaning
we became admins. And thats when real life took over for
me I guess, I modded (and even adminned) at cd21s forum
for a while but it was all losing its appeal. I hadnt
played on my gba in almost a year and was only there for
the community which i was fast outgrowing and so I
disapeared.
It may have been catphish who got
really pissed off at me for returning here for a bit,
choosing it over g-masters, but this place was always my
favourite I guess. Eventually I just stopped coming
here, I don't think I ever formally left, I just got
bored!
So hows everyone been? Jon-Tom
Well, I agree, there aren't many good members and that's
why the few good members got mod positions. There are
some good
members.

I actually have to think
harder after these people, there must be more good
members. Don't be offended if I forgot to mention you.
You'll know for yourself if you are a good member
lol i remember that chat thing. that was pretty fun. And
romshare, god that was helpful, then it went off ages or
something and that's when all these rumours started
spreading. now its not really much of a forum, more like
noobs joining up, leaving one post ie "I need help,
stuck on .... Please help!", then once their question is
answerd, gone, never to return. I can't exactly say im a
big member myself, i just hang around in the background
lol. only kinda old member i remember (hehe rhyming) was
Brolly. I agree with Crazylife, the really only good
members are mods now, and are pretty being left with
nothing to moderate lol. anyway this topic was pretty
interesting i thought. superpizza

How can you tell they are not real sites and registered just for profit - they are parked at paid parking services and have no content AND the letters that are misspelled are right next to the correct gbxemu letter on the PC keyboard so some people will accidentally enter one of the above addresses when trying to reach gbxemu.com .
Only the correct spelling is uzed for the real GBXemu Network sites!

Possible and not so provable ways the GBXemu name was born:
Update: GBoy explains - GBX - stands for GameBoy & GB Color and EMU is short for Emulation & Emulator and thus GBXemu
Grain Genes gbxR
Likelihood close to zero, but it is fun.
Pence Sterling GBX
but domains cost more so not likely.
DS Release Group GBX
but that one came well after the first one.
GBX emulator for PC
One of the working GB emulators for PC DOS. Closest name match, but the emu was totally unfinished and not so good. Well maybe.
GB XChanger (GBX)
This
GB GBC rom backup tool was the most popular of the tools of this time and the timing looks about right...
