    is there any other way to search games depending on their genres? because when i tried to sort the roms (e.g. RPG), it says "No downloads fit your sorting criteria."

    help anyone? thank you.

    Then you're doing something else wrong, do you perhaps have it limited to a single letter? Also a game isn't guaranteed to have a genre specified as they are user submitted.

    nope, it wasn't limited to a single letter nor region. anyway, it worked now! yey! probably a glitch?

    thank you!

    There is a very tiny bug in the searching of Roms.

    Say you click on the NDS Roms, and are clicking through the pages and end up on page 25 of the entire Rom list. If you then choose to sort by Genre (eg. RPG) the page will refresh, but still put you onto page 25 of the list. Unfortunately there are not that many pages of results for the RPG genre.

    It will tell you "No downloads fit your sorting criteria." This is because you are on a page that is too high.

    Example:
    https://www.romulation.org/NDS/56/
    Set Genre to "Action"
    Click "Sort"

    "No downloads fit your sorting criteria."

    But, if you look closely you will see that there are 5 pages of results, and the URL is pointing to page 56 (Last page of all of the NDS games). If you click on an existing page number, the proper results will be displayed.
