If I understand you correctly then simply..

1. Find the game you want to download in the alphabetical listing.
2. Click on your chosen game.
3. Wait for small pop-up windown to appear with 'telecharger' at the bottom.
4. Click on 'telecharger'
5. your game will download.
If you want to download multiple disk games or another game, you need to wait a minute or so before you can start again.

Hope this is what your after.

actually the wait is something like 200~300 seconds before the next download

its still a good site though! I found a game there which i never thought I'd see again, but I'm glad I found it!!

Thanks for the explanation but when I clicking on *telecharger* nothing is happening :-(

PE 2000 in it's previous incarnation had a much cooler look to it, at least colorwise.
Still, it blows the head off Emu China's crappy service and retarded interface.

I see... but they have a lot of stuff which I would like to leech.
I tryed: Internet Explorer 6.x and Netscape Communicator 7.x and cannot grab the stuff from them :-( I dont know what I do wrongly... Life sucks !

I tried to download Assassin - Special Edition from PlanetEmu,but all I get is "The page cannot be displayed" message.

I have the same troubles ....

If it is instant (ie. as soon as you click it) then try it again because the file is likely to be there.

If if takes a couple of minutes before it comes on then the link is probably dead.

All one has to do is get used to their interface.

Oh, by the way, hi, I'm new here, Frantic is the name, and I had an A500 a looong time ago with hd and extra floppies and all, but silly me (BIIIG DOOOH!!) sold it (no, no, please, take your guns away)

Anyway, just wanted to say that Planetemu is a terrific place. They have a massive rom collection.

Just take care when downloading form them, don't go into a massive mouse clicking frenzy, that system is not geared for it.

When you click the telecharger button, just be patient. It will eventually start downloading. If you click it again, the system will thin you're now doing your second download, and will have you wait for those 300 seconds.

That's it from me for now.

it happens sometimes, yeah... with opera Ive got a message saying the file does not exist.
and dont mind waiting a little after having pressed the "telecharger" button, usually for me it is between 30s to 2min before it starts...

I use IE 5.5 and sometimes I get the downlaod box in seconds, sonetimes I have to wait for up to a minute. I guess they either have a wild pressure on their servers (I have a feling that's it) or maybe it's just general concgestion on the net.

Anyway, I haven't met the "page cannot be found" message yet, but then again, I haven't downloaded that much from their site, till now it's only been Oil Imperium (oh I just love that game), Nobunagas Ambition, Bandit kings (1 and 2) and Romance of the three kingdoms (1 and 2). Just can't stay away from those Koei games.

Hope you have luck.

If now, let me know, I'll try downloading the ones you can't, and maybe I'll be allowed to up the to the zone.

Frantic, I moved this message of yours above to this thread, since you started a new thread to reply. Be sure and hit Post Reply and not New Thread. And don't sign your messages.

I missed the part about not signing my messages.

Must have hit the wrong button when trying to reply.

Sorry for the mess, and thnx for sorting it our.

I'll try not to let it happen again.

In my experience with Planetemu.net it seems some games simply are not available for download. The message 'The page cannot be displayed' turns up very often when you select a game of which several cracks are available.

Also, I have experienced that before you download the first file you only have to wait a couple of seconds. From the second file on, the waiting time is several minutes. a good way to 'speed up' the waiting time is to disconnect from the site once you have downloaded the first file and then log in again.

I'll try it, i have noticed too that the first download wait is short, then it become long.

Has someone tried to download something with Mozilla - Netscape [ i am at university and nothing happens, but maybe it's the firewall ]?

The wait between downloads on that site is proportional to the size of your previous download, so the later the download the longer you have to wait for the next one. I think it is 1KB = 1 second, but that is only a guess as I've not used the site in a long time.

If you want a complete set head to Pleasuredome.
