Tutorial out-dated, so i spoiler it until time comes for to be updated and posible transfered to new location.
I made little tutorial to help less expirienced memers to properly upload games .
(in this tutorial, i will use ISO of Final Fantasy Tactics (FFT) as example)
1. It is recommend to first compress game with 7-zip , less time needed to upload and download for future users .
2. Upload game to host (Mega for example) , make sure upload is not password protected and that is not set to private. You can change upload name to confuse witch hunters , for example instead "Final Fantasy Tactic" , name upload something completely harmless , like "pictures of nature" .Once done, copy link of game (you will be told where to paste it later in tutorial).
3. Go to our download section, select coresponding section and sub section (for FFT , go Sony Playstation series /Playstation (PSX) ISOs ,then click on SUBMIT icon:
4. In SUBMIT section enter all requested info , example:
GAME NAME(GAME REGION)-use proper game name and region tag .
GAME DESCRIPTION-usually Wikipedia copy and pasted game info is enough, just filter some out of place things , like numbers [19] all over place there . Gameplay video is welcomed but not necessary. Personal game notes and tips are also welcomed.
GAME CATEGORY/SUBCATEGORY-already set if you chose correctly so far.Otherwise set it manually to match game you upload .
Download URL - here you you paste that link i told you to copy (under 2.) , look on image to see example .
You can also put additional URL links if files are split , or if there is multiple ISOs under URL2 , URL3 etc.
TAGS- select appropriate tags .In this case , Strategy and RPG .
VERSION- lots of games have more that one version( v1.1 for example ) ,if you know exactly what version you upload , write it , otherwise leave empty .
BOX ART- find original box art of game on net and link its location here .Example , for FFT , google Final Fantasy Tactics PAL box art.

EDIT :
may as well explain what exactly DIRECT link means , and post answer how to properly post Box Art as well ...
DONT post link to PAGE to where box art is , post direct link to IMAGE , so in this case of this Box Art :
[size=small][font=arial, sans-serif]https://goo.gl/images/mDRvTQ[/font][/size]
DONT post this , this is link to page where image is :
because you end with this :
post direct link , go to that page ,right click on image and select "copy image location" , NOT "copy link location" , paste it in "insert an image" and it will look like this :
That is DIRECT link (in this case to Box Art) BIG difference !
and here is result :
All set ?
