    I don't know where to post this, so I put it here, because it is in fact about the Main Site.

    My question is, why isn't the list of downloadable roms updated ? NDS Roms mainly. I was so happy to see RomUlation hosting roms again after some years, but like 2 days after I made this discovery, it has stopped again. New Roms are in the Forum, yes, but why has ist stopped with 6110 on the Main site?

    Thanks in advance for answers,
    Reygok

    Huh? There are no new games on the forum, only one I see not on the main site is the xxxx release Mini Golf Resort, the rest is all versions of Pokemon which we can't add without a high probability of it getting cease and desisted like the other ones: https://www.romulation.org/NDS/XXXX-Pokemon-Black-2-%28U%29%28iRiL%29.rar/

    Well, I meant pokémon specifically, and I did not notice they were not downloadable. But WTF? Why only pokémon? With all the other Roms Nintendo has no problem if they are hosted here?

    Ninty's (and most other developers/publishers) main problem with piracy is that it takes away from their sales.
    Hosting a game that's just been released, and one from their best selling franchise no less, would without a doubt reduce their sales.

    The reason RomU's been getting less attention lately is because the DS scene is dying out and because there haven't been many new games released.
    Hosting Pokémon B/W 2 however, would definitely garner Ninty's attention.

    There has been no new releases lately.
    If there were some, they'd be up there.

    Thanks for posting it anyway, it's better to be sure, and it did make me notice MiniGolf Resort which I'm adding now.

    That ROM should've already been in FTP...

    I thought I added it. Weird.
    Can I add my own dump? I did it this morning.

    Of course, any NDS game can be added under "xxxx"
