Not much is different, but do note that all links are for the cattn repo, not mine! This includes the deployyment link right below.
Because I have configured my GitHub account differently, using likes like https://nailington.github.io may not work, and may throw errors randomly! If you just want the deployment to work and you don't care about beta nonsense go here!
This is a repository that is a backup of all of the Roms on the main GBA project. This currently includes: NES, SNES, GBA, and Sega Genesis (Mega Drive).
If you are coming from our main GBA emulator page, this is a great way to link to the roms if you don't want to do much work. Assuming you just want to host from here, make sure you deploy this Repo with Github Pages. It should do this automatically, but check the Actions tab in the repository to check and see if it has ran or is running. You can also ensure it is going to be built by going to Settings --> Pages --> GitHub Pages. From here make sure the "Source" is set to Deploy from a branch and that you select main under "Branch" (or the branch you want). The folder should say / (root). If it looks good, ensure you press save.
Once deployed, make sure the site is live by visiting index.html. In this case, our link is https://cattn.github.io/gba-host/index.html, but replace cattn with your username, and gba-host with the repo name, if changed.
If you saw a page load, good job! Everything is successful so far. Now you can start linking. Following instructions from here link the games. Make sure to link properly, links from here are Case Sensitive! For example: https://cattn.github.io/gba-host/nes-alt/Mega_Man_2.nes.zip is the proper way to link Mega Man 2. Notice how the M's are capitalized, and the file extension is also included (.nes is NOT the file extension in this case. It is .zip Remember to look at the entire file name and path.).
Please note that this may take a long time to deploy. Like a really long time. GBA games alone make deployment 25 mins, and this include more consoles. If you choose to clone this repository locally for any reason, please note that the roms will take up about 7-8GBs of local storage.
If you wish to help contribute, feel free to make a pull request! Try not to modify the folders included, as we may reject any additions not organized into a folder. As long as you create a new folder on the root, or create a folder inside the existing ones, we will happily take contributions!
