hi, have they stopped making ds (not 3ds) games now? only i dont see any new ones here??

[Gabe Puratekuta]

I think so. They tend to do that sometimes when they release a new version of a handheld

[Channel28]

DS Games are still being released.

 

DGEmu does not have any new ones are the Founder (and Admin) Dragon Master has had real life issues to deal with for the last year or so, however we have got our sister site fully automated I think to upload new ROMs (and ISOs!!) to file sharing sites.

 

For DS and 3DS visit:

For PSX, PS2, PS3, PSP visit:

Hmmm, all the files seem to be broken when I download them...

Which ones?

 

Just tried:

NDS ones, Hamsterz v2 and Transformers Ultimate Autobot Edition and all the links are fine.

Same for a few PSP ones ....

Oh, sorry. The PSX ones. I didn't check any multi-disk games, but the single ones I did were Soul Blade (1.1), SaGa Frontier 2 and LEGO Island 2

mmmmm ... they are suppose to be auto uploaded once they go down .....

Soul Blade 1.1, LEGO Island 2 and SaGa Frontier 2 were uploaded over 5 months ago so due to inactivity the links were deleted most likely, however the FileFactory one is still active:

I'll send a PM to DM and ask about if they are reuploaded or not and perhaps recommend new ones (and possibly old ones) be hosted on ZippyShare as well.  Don't expect there to be a reply for a long time though .... but I'll send an email to him as well ... just hope the email address I have is checked often if at all lol

Hey guys,

 

We've had serveral huge problems which made me contemplate on closing the sites completely but I eventually decided to go on and let time heal the wounds

 

Problems

- Biggest problem was our freakshare premium expired (had no idea, figured they'd send an email or something) and their free members are allowed to keep only files active in the past 30 days while premiums can hold files indefinitely and so when we moved to free members again they automatically deleted about 3 TB of games from their servers this is why almost all older-games freakshare links are down.. I've renewed the premium but files were already gone for good..

 

- Second problem was abgx.net stopped updating for the past few weeks so our automated system didn't know about any new games - I found it out late so only a few days ago I added a new source (AdvanScene) and now we have info on all games.. So we had no new games at all and only 2-3 days ago the automated downloader started fetching latest games..

 

Nintendo DS ROMs

As for DS - sadly it appears like the latest one cannot be found on usenet.. I might have to look for some alternative reliable source for them..

 

Auto Reupload

This features requires a place where we can upload all files so that upon a dead link I will automatically fetch it and reupload.. sadly we have no such source - if anyone is willing to help and give us free space (anything from 100GB to infinite will be great) send him to me the entire site's files are about 7TB and a lot of them are no completely broken and have to be fetched again (in hope we can find them somewhere..) - so this feature, despite being somewhat easily developed (well, will take a few days but it's so uber important i'm willing to do it) - requires something we don't have.. I looked around cloud backup services etc and they want hundreds of dollars a month for a 6-7 TB storage - something we cannot possibly afford

 

That's about it.. so sorry.. latest NDS will be up eventually - I'll fetch them manually next week if I see they still aren't around usenet for our automated downloader to grab them..

 

Cheers!

 - Ben

Halfway through this I thought OH NOES Ben is going to have to sell the staff jacuzzi in order to pay for this! .... lucky though it doesn't say it!

Those contain the broken files

?? Broken ... I'll download them and double check, they should be fine .... if they are broken then the other file sharing sites would of had a broken file as well .... I'll download the LEGO one first (being the smallest) tonight or tomorrow and see what happens.

[Channel28]

Just finished downloading LEGO Island 2 and the rar folder opened no problem what so ever, and extracts fine, since it does that with no errors it should run as designed by the emulator or if burned to a CD should easily play ....

 

What compression program did you try to extract it with?

[Gabe Puratekuta]

I use 7-zip because it extracts files from both .zip and .rar folders

[Warr]

So is it an automation problem, Dragon Master? I honestly figured between this and looking for new games recently that it seemed they had stopped making 3DS games. Very big surprise, but Channel28, do  you know what source Gamefaqs is using for their thoughts that developers will be continuing to make DS games for a while? 

[Channel28]

Well I used 7 Zip as well and it opened the file just fine and extracted perfectly too ..... so download must of been incomplete perhaps .... I'll see about uploading elsewhere for you perhaps and see if that works.

 

@Warr, if you mean the release date link that is official from the developers and publishers of those games.  As for future releases I personally don't see them continuing DS for much longer, I mean the US Nintendo website at the top lists Wii U, Wii and 3DS .... no more NDS .... future games like Super Smash Bros, etc are confirmed for 3DS, no NDS, so I don't think it will last till the end of the year ... there is just too few NDS releases over too long a period now to continue NDS production.

[Warr]

Given their continual push to sell more hardware, and the fact they've made a relatively cheap alternative to the 3DS or 3DS XL (in the 2DS) and that the 3DS/3DSXL/2DS all have backwards compatibility, (I think, for all I know I could be wrong about the 2DS); it would only make sense for them to phase it out at this point; so I'm inclined to agree, Channel. I know already Gamestop is trying to shift from selling DS games as if they're 'normal' to being 'collector's items', further- such as selling Pokemon Soul Silver for 15/20$ more than they would've sold it new, and selling it only with the cart, not any of the other stuff- as they're currently doing. 

 

But I think that's derailing the topic, so I'm off to bed I think, rather than be tempted to post more into this one.

Well, FileFactory does give a download time. But they'd always be instant when I download them

 

 

 

I thought that the firewall was preventing it from downloading properly, but the same result happens after I tried again after disabling it

OK Gabe, I uploaded the LEGO Island 2 to ZippyShare, so try this and see what you get:

http://www66.zippysh...94484/file.html

[Gabe Puratekuta]

It works!

[Channel28]

I'll see about downloading and then uploading those other 2 for you .... however I am going away from Friday morning till Wednesday afternoon (on holiday) so will probably download them today and tomorrow but unlikely to be all uploaded till Thursday/Friday next week.

 

EDIT:  Not today ... 1/2 through download and my 3TB internal HDD just got disconnected (and cancelled the download) .... hasn't done that for a month ..... stupid dumbass thing ...

After thinking about this last night and remembering you said instant .... I though ... but I only downloaded at 50-90KB/s ... I decided to re-read this correctly ..... it sounds like a cache issue, as in you downloaded it before but it stopped or you stopped it .. and then since then it has just re-downloaded what it knows (which is why it would be instant), perhaps if you cleared out the cache and tried it again ....

 

To clear out your cache simply hold down CONTROL and SHIFT and then press DELETE.

 

This is a universal browser shortcut to delete temp items such as passwords, history, cookies, etc .... even on computers that don't allow you to change settings and such using this method will usually bypass that and allow you to do it!

 

Any how just select the Cache option ONLY (for now .... unless you want to delete the other stuff for some reason) and the restart your browser (simply close, wait for the process in the background to actually close (you can view this on Task Manager) and then open it again), cache should now be clean, try the link/s again:

http://www.filefacto...e_USA_v1.1_.rar

http://www.filefacto...tier_2_USA_.rar

 

With any luck you might be able to download these yourself in the next 48 hours and not need to wait for me

The problem with that is the downloads were instant the first time I downloaded the files, as well

mmmm ... did you download in browser or use a program like JDownloader?

If Browser perhaps just give a try using JDownloader:

[Guide] Downloading Files with JDownloader

Fantastic App to queue up all your file sharing downloads you want and such .... instead of bookmarking them .... I use it 50% for that purpose and 50% for just reminding me of a comic to download when the 0-day pack is released ....

OK retrying download for SaGa Frontier 2 .....

[Dragons Master]

3DS games should be fine - I just checked and updates are flowing in well.. the problem is only NDS for now and it's a problem we're having real trouble solving.. we need a new source for NDS roms, and I've been off the scene for wayyy to long to even figure out who to talk to to get horses running to the right direction =)
