Is there a way to create a batch download?

I am already an unlimited member and enjoying many single-download-mega-rom-packs thingies on the site.

However in some cases, there aren't any mega rom packs and I would like to find a way to create a way to download all ROMs in a page without having the click on them one by one.

I tried to grab the download links with IDM grabber using my website login credentials along with deep domain search, however that seems to be only getting 5 or 6 links then stops. And since there aren't any FTP sections of the site, grabbing HTML pages are a hell anyways :D

So are there any recommendations? Or will I just have to stick to good old but time taking and exhausting mass-clicking action?

Hot Trout was working on a new version of the web site before nintendo went nuclear on us. if he is still working on it, it will include a download queuing system. you will still have to select which files you want to download, but the files in the queue will automatically download one after another.

however. Hot Trout needs more help with the development of the new site.
but for now you will just have to continue downloading files one at a time.

Thank you for the information! Though before he finishes doing that, I wonder if there is a 3rd party way to achieve this. :eh:

No, those methods have been blocked. If you try to use one it'll either error or download at rates slower than dial-up. The only current method of downloading files is one at a time or a via a mega-pack.
