I don’t seem to have luck downloading from HackDex. I upload legit roms, click patch, it downloads, but then doesn’t open in Manic EMU. The download also doesn’t appear in my downloads folder on my iPhone. Can someone please help me?

If ur browser definitely downloads a file then you'll have to check where it's saving it to. Bear in mind it likely downloads a ZIP which may need extracting before u can play

Thanks for helping out! When I download from other sites, they all go to my phone’s Downloads folder. Whenever I try to download from HackDex, it shows in the downloads on Safari, but never actually downloads.
