    Default How do you download GBA ROMs?

    What I did was going to Featured>Roms>Romsection>GBA>folder>file. Clicking on the file name takes me to a file viewer with no download link anywhere. Can somebody help me?

    You must register via the Login button at the top right of that section.


    EDIT: Phooey! Beaten to the punch.

    You have to be logged into the New Releases section, not the forums.
    Once you are logged in there, you'll see a download button.

    I still don't see it. Where is the download icon/link suppose to be?

    EDIT: I only see the icon in the 'Top Downloads' section. Is it possible to view it in the new release section?

    EDIT2: I noticed two squares when I highlight next to the number of downloads under action, but there's nothing but 2 grey squares there.

    If you are indeed logged in, you should be seeing these buttons. (Refer to the screenshot).
    Also, notice the "Welcome masj.." message at the top. You should be getting one of those yourself as well.

    Those buttons are the ones you have to click on to get your download.

    The problem is, this is what I see, as well as the grey boxes.

    #1 - Enable Javascript
    #2 - Enable Cookies

    It looks like you're not logged in properly.
    Or, try in another browser.

    Edited so that the welcome message is visible. Cookies is enabled. Javascript is allowed on the site. Same thing with IE.

    What do you mean by not logged in properly?

    Just checked it from an ordinary account and it seems to be working fine..
    Also, you say Javascript is enabled but your browser is popping up a box about Javascript being partially enabled. That's the only reason I can think of it not showing up. Either that, or for some reason your session isn't being handled properly. In that case, I suggest you register another account and try downloading..

    Your screenshot seems to have a few additional icons while mine only has 3 next to the welcome message. Is that a problem?

    By the way, whenever I load the page. There is this pop-up text saying the script is busy, want to continue or ignore? I choose yes everytime. Could that be it?

    This is the screenshot saying that I have enabled all Javascript.

    If nothing else works, I'll just register a new account.

    EDIT: Image edited to show what is supposedly the script for downloading

    Well, that has nothing to do with the site, the script message you're talking of.. I'm not sure why you're getting that.
    My screenshot has additional icons since I'm logged in as admin. You'll only be seeing the one icon that I have circled. Did you try with a new account ? Otherwise, this is just a guess, it could be your adblock extension, so you might want to try without it ?
    I really can't think of any reason why your download isn't working.. =/

    I just checked with my brother's computer and I could see the download icon, but the other 3 icons next to it are red crosses. Guess I can just download from there and obtain the files through sharing. Thanks anyway

    It's that "S" extension blocking the javascript.
    Dunno what it's called, but yeah, try to disable it and see. I can see all the images perfectly, infact I got 45 roms just yesterday at high speed.
