Nothing other than 98% of all other roms, 100% of all emulators, gamemusic, box art, game manuals, forums and misc content.

Idiot.


Which is why he was permabanned. Via IP too. Come on back, oh wait... you can't! *troll face* :roll:

Your browser is not handling the download properly. Try using another browser to prove the issue. Getfile is called to locate and start the download of your rom, it should not appear as a download itself.

Well you dont need to be unlimited to download Atari ST roms, so that is not the problem. It sounds like an issue with the tablet browser. Try using a PC from your location to check that.

If you're using a tablet, try using either google chrome browser or mozilla firefox browser from the app store. Hopefully those will work for you because that's what I did to fix my issue with being unable to download the files on my mobile. :)

*EDIT*

Also, I don't know why this hasn't been done yet, but making this thread a sticky for now until I write a full how-to download our roms regarding individual browsers. :hi:
