    I tried it myself on the "Main Page" (this is where I assume you tried, mentioning it wouldn't have hurt...) for the game "Super Mario Bros. 3 (USA)", and once I typed the captcha (had do allow it with No Script first), the link appeared, but it redirected me always back to the info page of the mentioned game (the one with it's ratings and stuff)

    Seems to be a bug on the main site... you just have to wait for someone from the stuff to fix.

    Edit: tested 3 other games (Ys II - Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter (Japan), Legend of Zelda, The (USA) (Rev A), Quarter Back Scramble (Japan)) in the NES Section and one in the PSX Section (Resident Evil 3 - Nemesis [U]), the same bug persists (seem to affect all direct download links on the main page)

    I had that problem with one SNES game yesterday, tried again, and the game downloaded. It's not a consistent problem, it's intermittent. Still needs fixing though.

    Alright, so what happens is that, if you are at a game info page, eg:
    http://www.emuparadise.me/Abandonwar..._Realms)/93172

    And then you click on "Download..", you go to:
    http://www.emuparadise.me/Abandonwar...93172-download

    You enter the captcha (if required...) and the download link that shows up, takes you back to the first page ?

    Does it also say the stuff about you coming directly to this page, etc. etc. ? Is the above flow what's happening to you ?

    Yes, that's it... Doesn't say anything, just send me back to the first page every time... tried disabling both AdBlock Plus and NoScript, but still persists

    So if you go to the download page it doesn't say this stuff below Download (Direct): ?
    Download Links:
    Links are hidden from guests. Please register to be able to view these links. Also, if you click on the link to download (and go back to the info page..) and then click download there again, you still get the same loop ?

    Yes, this is what it says above the download link (haven't realized it before)

    Yes, and it still has the same message
