Introducing: the GBAtemp Download Center
We're happy to inform you that we've rebuilt our download center. All the files that were posted on the Filetrip download categories have been imported back into the GBAtemp download center just like they were 10 years ago. So technically, it's already got over 10,000 files!

The GBAtemp Download Center is a place where you can host your project files, receive user reviews, upload new versions, and much more! it is accessible by clicking the "Downloads" link at the top of the page. Here's the list of features it currently offers:

  • Host files up to 100 MB big, many files formats are accepted (zip, 7z, rar, pdf, png, jpg, etc.) if formats are missing please let us know so we can add them to the white list
  • Add a tag line, description, and screenshots/images for your file to make people want to download it
  • Version history management: upload new versions of the same file
  • Lots of categories for all your needs! If you have suggestions for more categories please let us know

For the next two weeks, every time you upload a new file in the download center, you will receive a +20 XP bonus! This bonus will go down to 5 points only after that.

Also please note: the download center is meant to host your files but is not suited for discussion. To allow discussion about your file or project, please make sure to create a thread on the forums. Do not comment or discuss a file by submitting a review of the file (the review system should be used for reviews - not for comments/discussion).

Are we allowed to upload roms? Probably not.

if it's a public domain rom and the author agrees then sure

So, erm...@Chary... Can I add a "hey, guys... Are you okay with our members uploading your games as roms to our website?" To the listed questions of the E3 gbatemp review? :P

Oh, and a "pretty please?" Question in case they aren't convinced? :creep:

Dumb question but could this be used for personal data upload? Eg: music you make or other stuff you want to share here?
Nah, I think it's mainly for uploading files to be shared with the community, like Tools, Utilities, 3DS Themes, Homebrew, etc., etc. Though, like what @DeslotlCL said, you could probably upload those Atari Demoscene ROMs there.

phase out of existence. (I have already replied to this question earlier in this thread) but it will remain alive to host personal files

no this isn't for personal uploads. You can still use Filetrip for personal uploads :)

I think having a non copyrighted music files section wouldnt do much harm, especially when there are tools for creating them on pc or in the consoles themselves.

I understand it wouldnt be illegal, but it is just not the purpose of this download center, sorry.

It's like asking whether you could upload cat pictures and videos. Yeah, it isn't illegal, but our download center isn't meant to host such files. Use Filetrip's private file uploads for that.
