    In the MAME roms section, I have had no trouble with files, till tonight. I was in the B section, and Malwarebytes and Avast both blocked several roms from downloading. They were: Bosconian (all versions of it triggered blocking), Blaster, Banbam, Centipede revision 1 and 3 were also infected with spyware, rev two downloaded ok. As did the rest of the handful that did come through without incident. I haven't tried them to actually play yet, though I am sure they will be fine as I have never gotten a bad rom here, nor did the spyware programs get triggered till the above files. Great site, just joined tonight, have to make a donation when I find my paypal info!

    It's definitely a false positive because those files are directly from the MAME set. They are just rom files with no executables involved. Not sure why they tripped up the programs. We do not have any malware in any of our files. We're very careful about that kind of thing.

    Is it from the downloaded file or on the download page? It could be a bad ad but I would like to block it, that's why I'm asking..

    It was from the downloaded file. When the dl was complete, i received a warning that it contained malware. I directly deleted the rarfile then.

    Just to understand better, you downloaded the Vagrant Story (G) ISO and then once the file was downloaded, Avast said that it was malware? Also, the file you downloaded was called Vagrant Story (G) [SLES-02756].7z ?

    I have looked further into this and can assure you that the files are clean. The malware flag came up on one of our servers due to a false positive on another file. Google should clear the flag in a few hours so the warnings will go away

    This is exactly what happened. What was irritating me was the size of the file too, it seemed very small for an psx .iso (.7z was about 50mb), but maybe that's normal in this case.

    That's the normal size for a compressed Vagrant Story image file.

    Wasn't sure about the size, now comparing it with other releases you seem to be absolutely right. For the malware detection i think it was avasts fault.

    Thank you for the fast replys and this fantastic site

    Default Attempted Downloads of ROTD.

    Been a long time lurker of Emuparadise and have been trying to get my hands on Rage Of The Dragons (MAME & Neo Geo) for Fightcade since it is apparently compatible. However, I have tried downloading it on 3 separate occasions, trying again just now, and the same problems are occurring after downloading: missing files that render said ROM unplayable.

    I have downloading it, as well as other ROMs through Google Chrome with little failure, but this one seems to be an exception. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    What emulator are you using? You normally need to get the parent rom for it to work with MAME. Also, please try using MAME 0.164 as that version corresponds to what we have on the site.

    Thanks for the report. The file was indeed broken, I've replaced it with a working version.
