What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

I was trying to download gecko codes for this particular game. I'm greeted with the "Failed to Download Codes" message. Upon further investigation, I've discovered that this is due to a DDoS protection script geckocodes.org is using. This script runs first before getting redirected to the download. I have attached the said script.

I can DL the gecko code file just fine if I use my browser. Is there any way to manually load the text file downloaded from geckocodes.org?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Click "Download Codes" button in the Gecko codes tab. Any game returns the same error.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

1705d15d6f3fe1c2f760a4b6bc70542d94b9e9f2

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

5.0

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version?

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

CPU: Intel Core i5 6600k
RAM: 16GB
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
OS: Windows 10 Version 1703 Build 15063

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

This is not a Dolphin issue, but I vote for keeping this open for the sake of visibility.

Is we can't get in contact with a maintainer for that site, we'll need to just remove download support.

Having a load TXT file button in the gecko codes tab is an alternative, if this can't be resolved.
