    hi, i'm having problems downloading 3 roms as listed below:

    2454 - Gegege no Kitar?ukai Daigekisen (J)(Caravan)
    2462 - C餲ic - L'anniversaire de Chen (F)(EXiMiUS)
    2463 - La Culture G鮩rale pour Les Nuls (F)(EXiMiUS)

    wonder if its due to the funny characters within the name, but when i click on the link to download, it says server cannot find the rom file. and it lists the same file under its suggestions for other files, which when clicked leads back to the same failed link again.

    wonder if anyone else having the same problem or is it just me?

    The characters doesn't seem to be the problem, there's a few of those ROMs which download perfectly. Yeah they don't link to anything.

    Nope, it's definitely those characters, but it's weird, they should be in the UTF-8 charset...

    I have the same problem with TS also.

    https://www.romulation.org/Retro/GameBoy%20&%20GameBoy%20Colour/FIFA_Soccer_%2797.7z.html, and
    https://www.romulation.org/Retro/GameBoy%20&%20GameBoy%20Colour/Litti%27s_Summer_Sports.7z.html

    Both gave me:

    We're terribly sorry, but we couldn't find the game you were looking for.

    Perhaps you are looking for some of the following games, if not then we suggest using our search engine to find the game you're looking for.

    ...

    Kindly advice.

    Edit: Both files contain ' <-- apostrophe. This maybe the cause.

    So is there any suggestion on how to rectify this?

    Yes, time, need to convert database to UTF-8 but it won't be done until our next major update.
