Is there any URL we can switch the top link to, that contains some of this information but doesn't do an automatic file download as https://gbatemp.net/download/gba-and-ds-rom-hacking-guide.33... does? (Those make annoying links for frontpage submissions, even when the content is good.)

Seems like just taking out the word download after the slash does the trick:

https://gbatemp.net/download/gba-and-ds-rom-hacking-guide.33...

The info isn't embedded on the page, but the download button for the PDF is unforced but available

Edit: Looks like this thread has the info from the PDF embedded:

Glad to have been of service - thank you for maintaining this forum so well
Yeah, even just a(n automatic) "[pdf]" in these submission titles would help. Or the site could just not force download since most browsers can natively read PDFs, etc.
I dislike them myself and actually tried looking for one but the only alternative I found was scribd, which would require a login to download (even more annoying).

Open to hear any good suggestions for PDF hosting.

Your efforts are much appreciated and good content even more so!
