Can't Download Roms

Postby teddythekid » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:28 am

I have been trying to download .139 roms and every time I click a link it there is no link or download area on the popup. I'm using Firefox on a Mac and I've tried a lot of different games and not one sends me to an actual download link. I even registered with no luck. Thanks.

Firstly welcome and please do not double post. I deleted your post in the general forums which was the same as this post.

Now then, most likely your browser is blocking popups which you will need to turn on to see the download screen.

Thanks for the reply. The popup opens to the page and I see where it says (example) MAME Mame-0.139 Rom
sfiii3an.zip, but when I put my cursor over either of those it doesn't do anything. I can only highlight them. I am able to click on all the other things on the page like: register, login, FB, Twitter and the Best Roms link, but I'm not able to dl the game roms. Thanks!

most Mame sets are only available to Unlimited members due to the size of the sets. The reason for your inability to download.

Make sure you log out and back in on the roms section. Hope that helps.

Whenyou find the rom you wish to download, click on it. This will open another screen with the option to download the rom. Some roms require you to login using your account before the download button will appear.

Try using a different browser, that is just not right.
