When I download files, why do the zip filenames have "+" and "_"?
I did this to try and make the filenames more friendly to any operating system and not just one type or the most recent.
What do I do if I find a broken link?
PLEASE contact me and let me know if you find something not working.
What do I do if I find something wrong with a file I downloaded?
Also let me know what files seem to be affected and I will try my hardest to get it fixed or replaced with a working version or worst case scenario remove it until it can be fixed. Contact Me
What do I do if I do not hear back from the admin of the site in a timely manner?
Well, with as busy as I am, please give me some time. If you want, I can respond back to you letting you know I did read your email, but please note that in your email to me.
Where can I get support or help on a specific game or ROM?
Well, I do not support them and probably will be to busy to help you in a timely manor. My personal suggestion is to go to www.gamers-nest.com and post on their forum in the emulation and ask for help there.
I have ROM's you don't, do you want to trade?
Well, since you can download any ROM you want for free, not sure how I could trade really. But, if you would like to send me a ROM that I don't have, I would appreciate it and if you would like I can list you as a contributor to the site. Send all ROM's to rom_submit@web-head.net
