    This is not a complaint but rather a question. I noticed that many NDS roms are released as a .rar with a certain #, but then the file inside the .rar is off by a single #. Is this intentional? Is there a specific reason for this? Or was this something that got past someone? :) I ask because I archive mine locally and use the numbering scheme to organize them. Thanks.

    I think that's just the URL, whatever you're talking about.

    Nah, it's because sometimes we upload ROM A, then ROM B to E is released so naturally we upload those too. Then ROM A is nuked, meaning it's a bad release so we delete that, now we have a hole in our collection so every ROM B to E is shifted down one number. However, because we're sane humans we just rename the .rar files and the database value instead of deleting and re-uploading all of them.

    The correct number is always the one in the rar file.
