Yep, noticed this as well. Thanks for the pointers @pinobatch
On Discord, avivace requested that I update the status of this report. I found this change first:
"Plain" Windows
has become None of those
.Windows
and then None of those
, "go here" now points to Using a development version, which I mentioned as the correct answer. My only remaining nitpick is a preference for labeling the link as a noun: "go to master
instructions."Windows
and then None of those
, "use master
" points at the correct page, but at a nonexistent fragment what
instead of the correct master
. And in that "What is master
?" section, "use our CI" still points at a nonexistent fragment. Still broken. It is currently https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install#using-our-ci and should be changed to https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install/master#using-our-ci.Also the problem remains of artifact download links working only for members of GitHub.

Is this what you're looking for @pinobatch ? https://nightly.link/gbdev/rgbds/workflows/testing/master
Those seem to work on a browser that isn't logged in for me.
Directing users to rgbds-canary-mingw-win64.zip on that page should work as long as nightly.link keeps working.
This issue won't affect me personally once 0.7 is out. It may start affecting me again if I end up having to depend on a master
-only feature.
I plan to use a feature added in https://github.com/gbdev/rgbds/pull/1159 in a Game Boy project, and I want to know what to tell contributors who use Windows to install until RGBDS 0.6.2 comes out. I'm having trouble finding on the website how to obtain and install Windows executables of RGBDS
master
built by a GitHub Actions job.Windows
then"Plain" Windows
, follow "go here". Broken. This link leads to a nonexistent anchorusing-rgbds-master
.Windows
then"Plain" Windows
, follow "usemaster
", then follow "use our CI". Broken. This link leads back toinstall
under a nonexistent anchorusing-our-ci
.The correct answer appears to be this: In https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install, follow "using a development version", then scroll down to "Using our CI" and follow "made available on GitHub". Then under "workflow run results", follow the name of the most recent PR with a green check next to
master
, scroll down to "Artifacts", and then downloadrgbds-canary-win64
.Aside: The "go here" phrasing for the call to action is deprecated by a W3C article, which claims that noun phrases make the clearest CTA. According to "The problem with 'click here' and 'learn more' links" by Cynthia Marinakos, it slows the reader and creates a feeling of risk. Answers to questions on UX Stack Exchange and Webmasters Stack Exchange explain what an author can do about "here" in links.
