    Yea, i tried to dl a few gbc games too, it keeps saying "550 failed to change directory",, what is that? I was told i might be able to fix the problem by resetting the router i use, but it didnt work.

    I am getting the exact same problem with many of the SNES roms. I use Mozilla Firefox. Whenever I try to download the roms from either server, an error message pops up that says, "550 Failed to change directory."

    I just tried downloading 3 random SNES roms with FireFox, and the links worked.

    So, we need to know which games wouldn't download for you.

    Roms are data files dumped from video game cartridges.
    You can play roms in emulators:

    Here's where our roms can be found:

    MasJ fixed the problem with the GBC roms, so try downloading them and the SNES roms too--maybe in fixing the GBC roms, he also fixed the others too.

    I already posted my query with the game names in the "Posting a Broken Link ? Read this first." stickied thread. I will post them again though. I tried downloading "The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse," "MegaMan Soccer," and "Mickey and Minnie - The Great Circus Mystery" but an error message would just pop up saying "550 Failed to change directory."
