The guys (and maybe gals?) over at Microsoft have fixed a huge bug in IE8 where doperoms would not load properly for people.

Thanks to the most recent updates to IE8 these issues are now resolved!
ENJOY!

A little bit of info for anyone wondering about our "Users online counter", our "Alexa" rank, or the "Extreme-DM" stats located at the bottom of the site.

First off the Online users counter updates every 30 seconds from two servers (doperoms.com and doperoms.co.uk). Sometimes the counter will be updating while you are browsing a page. Thus it will fluxuate by a few hundred online. Usually it shows the appropriate number of users online. Yes this counter is real based off of unique IP addresses on the site!

Our alexa rank for doperoms.com has been dropping due to us forcing all users outside of the western hemisphere to the doperoms.co.uk domain. You can view our doperoms.com alexa stats or our doperoms.co.uk alexa stats. Notice that one is going down and one is going up... due to us forwarding users to the .co.uk domain. Overall our reach / global market has done nothing but climb even during this economic struggle the world is in right now.

We also provide public statistics via Extreme-DM stats. So if you are interested in seeing where people are visiting doperoms from or are wondering about the legitimacy of our online counter then there ya go, these stats tell all!

As of this posting doperoms in whole (doperoms.com, and doperoms.co.uk) is ranked roughly in the top 9,000 sites in the world. If you are interested in helping us out well you can't. We work alone. However if you want to support us simply use the site and don't block the advertisements!

Everyone not from the Americas had trouble downloading for the past few days. This was a bug from when we upgraded to the doperoms.co.uk domain from uk.doperoms.com.

The problem has been fixed. Thank you to everyone who told us of the problem. And the guy who submitted an abuse report to google ... well you are an idiot! Everyone take a moment to laugh at the idiot for reporting a download error to a site not associated with doperoms.com. Pure genius!

We have spent the past week dealing with tons of lag and outage while migrating the site to work across the world.

The site has now been patched and will have a lot less downtime now. Sorry for everyone trying to get on around the holidays and new years.

Doperoms is stable once again.

Today we have had some of the worst downtime in a long time. Some of our new cluster scripting software failed and we had to spend the better part of our Friday night fixing it.

Anyway everything is back up to speed. Enjoy~

We have just added an almost complete development and tool set for pokemon mini. If you don't know what a pokemon mini is then just imagine a little digi-pet thing that plays pokemon... Viola a pokemon mini.

This is a very basic portable hand held system that had 4 colors and one speaker and a programmable ram drive.

The download manager page. Found here allows a user to queue up roms to create a custom list to then download from.

Well we have just added two new options. One allows you to clear your entire list of queued roms. The second allows you to erase individually queued roms. This means once you download one of them you may erase it off of your queue list!

Users from around the globe may have noticed a new option on download pages to download from the UK. This new server will serve all users from Asia and Europe.

If you wish you can select which server you want to use to browse the site with. You can select a server by clicking on a mirror at the top right of most pages on doperoms.com

Enjoy~

PS: Bots are spamming this news section. It will be taken care of soon but for now there are more important things to fix. Like the auto server mirror selection based on ip location ... which is still not quite perfect.

Well we bet you all have been biting your fingernails from lack of turkey and new roms. Well rest assured we are still hard at work making this the best Rom archive on the web.

We have just purchased a new server in the United Kingdom. This server is specifically for users in Europe. We are setting everything up and it should come online later this week. This means faster download speeds and less lag when loading pages on the site for everyone!

PS: Since we can't keep upgrading our server every month (Technology isn't advancing fast enough!!!) We are going to setup mirrors around the world to help serve roms to users in different geographic locations.

To start off with the site was offline for two hours on Sunday Nov 11th 2008 between 11am - 1pm (est). We have upgraded our servers processor and ran a few tests. This upgrade was unscheduled and increased the servers processor speed.

Other Updates:

• Emulator Pages are now linked without ?id in the url. (you may still access the emulator pages using the emulator id link if you wish)


• All games now have semi-relevant images associated with their rom info page.


• Multiple memory engine enhancements for increased page access time.


• Arcade renovated and restored!


• Random Rom fixed from 99% of the errors. You may still get an occasional blank page.

Polish (PL), Italian (IT), Korean (KO), and Norwegian (NL), language translations have been added to the site. We are still working on more

Also you now have the ability to Queue ROM's. What this does is gives you the chance to browse the site for the old games you own and queue them up for download. No need to wait around on a ROM page or return hours later to get your next backup rom.

This should make this already easy to use hassle free rom site even better... Dope, right!

We have added the following language packs to support German (DE), French (FR), Portuguese (PT), and Russian (RU). Hopefully this should help some of our foreign visitors navigate the site easier.

The Amiga set has now been updated. Multiple disk games are now in one single zip file. We have also added almost every game we could find for Amiga. I am sure there are more we are missing but having almost 1,400 Amiga roms should satisfy you enough!

The site will now be available in multiple languages. We are starting out with English (EN), Spanish (ES), Japanese (JP), and Chinese (ZH). We will be adding more language packs soon.

We have added the entire Mame 0.127 set. Please grab an emulator for 0.127 in our emulators section to play the updated rom set.

Old versions of Mame may play some of the games but not all. Please upgrade to a mame client version 0.127 or higher.

Well well. It looks like RockNES has made a come back. Since it's "final" release as RockNES X 2.0 Final in 2002 this decent emulator was considered dead due to lack of updates.

It looks like the developer of RockNES has been keeping version 2,3,4 to himself! Anyway with all that aside RockNES 5.0 beta 13 has been released and is ready for immediate NES fun!

Editorial Note: We were wondering why this 2D NES emulator is larger in size (569kb zipped) then iDeaS a 3D Nintendo DS emulator (312kb)!

There is this amazing hack that took over 4 years to create for the SNES called The Legend of Zelda - Parallel Worlds. It promises all new levels (no area is unchanged) and a few new enemy's to battle. The readme says the story follows along side the original Zelda A Link To The Past plot while still keeping some of the same plot and dialogs as in the original game.

You can download The Legend of Zelda - Parallel Worlds for Super Nintendo (SNES) here.
