Locked Internet Archive Items
Internet Archive restricts items that contain high-risk content or
generate a high amount of traffic from being able to be downloaded
without an account to decrease the likelihood of takedowns and to
prevent abuse. This is shown with a lock icon beside the file name in
the item's file listing. 
When accessing the file directly, one of the following errors is shown. 
To download locked items or files, register an Internet Archive account or download it from Myrient instead.
Internet Archive Metadata
Internet Archive items have metadata files that end in extensions such
as .xml and .sqlite. These files are not important to download but are meant for the
website to know what files to display and the reviews of the item. 
Internet Archive Torrents
Some Internet Archive items contain torrent files as another download method. However, the torrent's file listing is usually incomplete compared to what is listed on the website. For this reason, it is recommended to use direct downloads with a download manager instead of torrents.
Archive File Types (ZIP, 7z, RAR)
ZIP, 7z, and RAR are archive file types which means they must be
extracted. 7-Zip is recommended for extracting these files.
Download and install it here and run it. Then, open the archive file in 7-Zip or right click on it and
go to
7-Zip -> Extract Files.
Blocking Ads with uBlock Origin
uBlock Origin is recommended when accessing certain links on this
megathread and the Internet in general. It blocks ads,
trackers,and much more.

it for certain web browsers.
For Android: Download Firefox from the Play Store, locate the Addons menu and select uBlock Origin. Add it to Firefox and remember to only use Firefox to download ROMs.

- Open Google Drive and go to “My Drive” in the sidebar.
- Make a new folder. It does not matter what you name it.
- Go to the quota'd folder, right click on the file you want to download, and click “Add Shortcut to Drive”.
- Navigate to “My Drive” and then to the folder you made, and click “Add Shortcut”.
- Go to “My Drive” on the sidebar. Right-click the folder you made and click “Download”.
- A .zip file with the file(s) you selected starts downloading.
MEGA
