Around late 2003/early 2004 I think.
The exact date? I dunno, I was 4 years at the time.

24 October 2002 was when the forum opened, but there's no exact date on the Wiki about when it stopped the warez. Only that it was about half a year later:

https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/GBAtemp.net#History
“About half a year into the forums life, the staff had to come to the decision that ROMs would no longer be available to download from GBAtemp, and all warez and other illegal material would be ruled out on the forum. The reason this was done is because a lot of members and the staff themselves had really come to appreciate the forums and each other, and didn't want to risk losing the community they had built up. So to avoid legal issues and to make sure GBAtemp was never shut down, all ROMs, ROM links, warez and more were now strictly forbidden on the 'new GBAtemp'.”

GBAtemp is so old at this point that we need our own historians
Good thing it did otherwise we could not be here to discuss it and including other important Exploits = HOMEBREW.
My Compaq gaming PC got many gba roms from this very site.

You were like 3 or 4 years old when the site switched away from warez lmao unless you're lying about your age
There really isn't another place like gbatemp around so it's good that DMCA violations were banned
your account wasn't even a thing and you were like 4
Did you get a GBA flashcard in 2003, then go to gbatemp to download some sweet sweet roms in 2003?

I don't get it, you can't download roms anymore but you can still download themes and save files?

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
