ve tried downloading both v1 and v1.1 of spyro year of the dragon and neither seem to work. when i try to unzip the files it says something along the lines of the file is corrupted. ive tried from multiple internet connection hotspots i.e my house, my girlfriends house, and mcdonalds just to see if it was a firewall of some sort, but nothing seems to work. i know nothing about programming or anything like that so if someone could make a copy that works or if someone can give me some instructions on how to get the roms already on the site to work i would be extremely grateful. this is the only game that ive tried to play that has ont worked from this site so other then that. this site is amazing!

it's possible that the file didn't completely download. check the size of the file you downloaded and compare it to the size listed on the page you downloaded the rom from. if the size of the file you downloaded is smaller than the size listed on the page, try downloading the file again.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay, I only got the chance to look at this now that I am back at my work. I have checked my local mirror of all the Spyro roms for the Sony PSX and they are working. I also check the online versions and they match the local files perfectly so there can be nothing wrong with them.
I am not sure why you are unable to download these properly other than to say that you might be downloading them correctly but using a differeny version of an archive program. Try downloading and installing the latest version of 7zip and use that to expand the files. I had no problems expanding both the BIN and CUE files for all of these.
I hope this helps.
