and nobody since now (until Raistlin noticed it) even RUN the actual download to notice Trial of Strength doesn't even contain the pic in the screenshot :D |

CSDb GFX compos must surely be fun .. I found screenshots on CSDb that have >50,000 unique colours. If people have been voting in compos without actually downloading the images to real C64s... well, umm, I don't know what to say!
I'm damned sure that some of the interlace FLI / MUFLI / NUFLI / WhateverFLI screenshots were just the original Jpegs that the pics were wired from, too... but I won't say that out too loudly :p |

Just as a rule of thumb .. and this shouldn't need saying:-
1. Real Hardware (and CRT if poss) is best
2. VICE or other emulators
3. Good quality CSDb screenshot
4. Bad, cheaty, 50,000-colour "screenshot" on CSDb is BAD
5. Watching screenshots on YouTube.. LAME!
6. Simply looking at the credits and not even seeing the screenshot before commenting/voting is the absolute lowest
Probably missing loads of variations there ...
(1) isn't just "the best".. it should be THE GOD DAMN STANDARD. But run on an emulator if you must. |

1.5 proper CRT emulator to render the picture.
I made one for veto (IIRC) long ago. I can dig it up if you want to check it :)
"Pixel perfect" IFLI pictures that are a 320x200 hires image which looks like nothing a real C64 could ever display are still the worst thing to me - even worse than "many colors screenshots", at least those try to be a little more like what you'd actually see on a CRT. |
