Why

Emulator.Games is a decent resource to find and download ROMs if you know how to get past their broken download system.

When trying to download ROMs from this site, you are brought to a page with the following countdown: Your Download is Starting in 30 second(s). Unfortunately, at the end of the countdown you are simply greeted with an error saying This game is unavailable.

This script updates the Download Now button to allow you to immediately download your ROM, skipping the broken download process.

How to use

Install Tampermonkey, then press the Raw button next to the emulator.games.user.js file in this Gist. Tampermonkey will prompt you to install the script.

That's it!!

When you visit a ROM page, the download link will be changed from Download Now to Download Now (for real), indicating the link has been updated.
