Any rule for adding screenshoots for cracks releases?
I've noticed, that someone adds screenshots for latest added releases. Nothing odd, but I've realised, that lots of those screenshoots are wrong - they are taken directly from the game, not from the cracktro(s). Imho the screenshoots should show the differences between other cracks and adding screenshoot directly from game will not show the difference for someone, who wants to find a proper crack instead of downloading all files from csdb.
Here are some examples:
The Untouchables 2-4
Altered Beast [tape]
Music Shop
CoverGirl Strip Poker
And maybe others... Someone can take care about it and check who added these screenshoots and tell him that it would be more better to add screenshoots from cracktros, instead from games? Looking forward for any feedback for this proposal :) |

You should be adding the screenshots.
You and I are of one mind-- What makes the CSDb special are the groups that release the games and not the games themselves. However, some folks would argue that the games are important, not the cracktros.
So... don't depend on someone else to create the screenshots. Do it yourself. It's fairly simple, and if you have scads of games to dump to the Db it'd only take you a few more moments to do each screenshot upload.
I love what you are uploading here. Keep it up!

grab 1 screenshot from the intro,one from the trainer menu,one from the game title screen and one from the game it self,go to http://www.picasion.com ,browse for all the screen dumps in the correct order,fill in the corresponding image width(384 for Vice with the "normal borders"),select the speed:- "slower(3 sec)" and create the animated gif image. everyone pleased. |

there is no strict rule for this... however, i agree that the crack intro should be in there :)
do you think such a rule should be added? |

I think Perff should implement an animated-gif-maker so you could upload say 5-6 different screenshots & an animated gif will be created automagically. :) |

For cracks I'd say the crackintro and trainermenu should be includded, aswell as the title-screen. If only uploading 1 pic, it should be the cracktro (imho).
Loads of cracks with just a in-game shot doesn't show the difference between them (sorry Acidchild). |

If we're getting picky about this, make sure to include a requirement to show _all_ intros ... not just the PAL intro or NTSC ... both.

Yes I agree - that was exactly what I was meaning. Thanx for feedback! |
