Issue with Emulator Downloading

[shamaflamana]

First off, thanks Trout for a wonderful site. I've used it for years. Please forgive me for the fact that I just donated today for the first time, and this is my first post on the forums. Anyways, on to the issue.


I've tried several different Emulator download links and I get the following webpage message:

Error: The file M¿Žw¬×MžÅ does not exist. Please go back and select a file

It's a shame, but other sites I have no issue getting an emulator.

There is no reason why you can not download the emulators. Can you post the url of the emulator that you are trying to download so that I can check.

[shamaflamana]

It was happening for all emulators I tried, from JSNES to ePSXe. I just tried those very same ones, and now I get directed properly to the download link. I didn't not save the URL from that error I was getting but it's working as intended now so no worries.

Another issue if I may bring it up, I have created this forum account becuase I do not recieve a activation email for my original account.

User Name: Magilicotti
email: Magilicotti@bellsouth.net

I will keep trying to have one sent to me. Able to login to the main site with the user name and password, and that is what matters in the end, for the unlimited access.

The usual reason for no activitation email is due to your spam control. Check your email system and look in the spam section to see if the activation email is there.

[shamaflamana]

Well yes, that is the first thing I did was to look within the spam folder, naturally. I have two email accounts with the same provider. (bellsouth is yahoo email, either way I'm using yahoo to login and check email) And I created this forum account and recieved the activation email, was not placed in spam.

With the Magilicotti account, no activation email. Spam, or otherwise.

Strange. This is an extremly rare occurance. With an average of 100 new registrations each day, I only receive an problems about email not received every fwe months or so.

Still, there might be more to it. I appreciate your help.

[shamaflamana]

Only thing I can think of is the account was created months ago, or longer without being properly registered then. I cannot recall ever recieving the registration email, but I didn't register none the less, so it tells me here. Regardless, if an account is not registered, and it prompts you to do so via your registration email link, you would figure it would just happen.

Other issue I can think of, is a mispelling in the actual email address of the account. A registration email is being sent, somewhere? Well then, we'll figure it out eventually. I'll continue to check the emails for the registration.

[Hot Trout]

hopefully that is the reason. I dont think that the phpbb3 code is at fault. Good to see you here anyways.

[shamaflamana]

Heck with it, i cannot figure it out, and I can only belive your website so much when it says a reactivation email has been sent and doesn't show up. I am not a big forum junkie anyways, so as long as my premeium account is in order I could care less what I am able to log into the forums with. I'll consder this issue dead.


None the less, I'll continue to support with donations when I can. We must preserve our gaming history since the gaming companies don't unless a buck can be made. I'll support this site for as long as you maintain it.

I have been maintaining it for 12 years so far with no sign of stopping.
