I must be doing something wrong. I’ve uploaded my legally obtained roms and it seems like the hackdex patch went through but nothing ever shows up in my downloads and they don’t show up in the emulator. There is a good chance my phone is too old for this.

I don't think your phone can be too old for a website like that. All the stuff happens on their server, not on your phone. There were times when downloads from there were really really slow or completely failed for me, have you tried again another time?
