    so i noticed that some of the games that don't start to download when i click on the download button. instead it sends me to turtle share site that also has a membership thing going on. now my question is what's the point in my premium membership if another site limits it? not all the games have the turtle share link but for the games i really do what to try redirect me to the turtle share site and i don't really what to have to get the premium membership for that site. is there a reason for that or not? i just wanted to get some info on that. sorry if this is not the right place to post but i didn't really know where to put this post. would be nice if someone could help.

    If files are hosted on file-sharing sites they're probably way too large to comfortably host them here and not have the server go down from bandwidth cap issues.

    Seph is free to correct me; I am not Tech Support. Just a friendly user passing through.

    Ah... right.

    The PS2 ISOs are all hosted on TurtleShare.
    This is because the size of them is just too big to host them all on RomUlation.

    As for your "what's the point of premium membership" well, see here.
    Seph is probably happy to do a refund, providing you haven't had the membership for more than seven days, and you haven't downloaded a shitload of ROMs directly from the site (eg. NDS, PSX, Wii etc.)

    @Seph, you probably should add a note to the premium page that premium doesn't cover PS2 ISOs.

    thanks for the replay and it's not that I'm not happy with the premium account i just was wondering about why it was like that since i didn't see it say that PS2 isos were hosted else where. good to know tho. once again thanks for the reply.

    Yeah.
    Hopefully we can get something up that can sort out the confusion.

    No problem.
    That's what I'm here for.

    The PS2 library is several TB in size, and as stated, we do not have sufficient server capacity to host them ourselves. As a result, we have to store them on a third party file host, and therefore RomUlation premium cannot cover PS2 roms. RomUlation premium applies to all systems that are hosted by RomUlation on our own server (all the listed systems except PS2).

    thanks for the reply. ah i see that's something good to know. they should really put that in so people know since your paying for a membership. yah loving the premium account just with the surprise with the ps2 iso's and liking the forum and how fast people replay or help out if you post.

    I have added a section that clarifies what premium users get access to.
