If you look carefully at the new version of File:PM Master Poet screenshot.png, you'll notice that the there is a small dot on the left side of the speech box. The Rice one does not have the problem. The author of the current Paper Mario TAS on TASvideos also suggests that the encoder takes advantage of both Glide64 and Glide64mk2. Both these points make it clear that there should be no rule over what plugin is "more correct" than another. My thought on your /sandbox stuff is that if another emulator (such as BizHawk) takes equally good screenshots, it should not be forbidden by policy. 08:31, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
 * First, BizHawk is now standard practice on TASvideos. Second, just because the majority of people use or prefer Project 64 does not mean the right of the minority people to use a different emulator must be sacrificed.  19:32, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
 * It's similar to how the Super Mario Wiki does not reject editors who use Linux or Mac as long as they contribute as well as Windows users.  19:40, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
 * BizHawk's not being listed on Emulation General does not mean it is wrong.  22:40, 22 July 2016 (EDT)

Re: Play Nintendo Artwork
Hey! Yeah, I've been thinking about it. And I decided that you were right to link+categorize. If an artwork for example, is released with one game and then reused for a later one, then we would categorize and link the image to both games (as the image would be used in both of the game galleries). The same precedent can be used here with Play Nintendo. Perhaps the artwork wasn't specifically made for Play Nintendo, it was reused for Play Nintendo. So yes, they should be categorized and linked.

19:46, 23 July 2016 (EDT)


 * Yep, that's one example. I know there are many character artworks that are re-used between games too.


 * Also, may I advise you to archive this talk page?


 * 20:12, 23 July 2016 (EDT)


 * No worries! And a quick update on your admin review of MW:Screenshots, we need a bit more time to gather a collective opinion.

PMTTYD aspect ratio
I was playing the Japanese version of PMTTYD; that's why the aspect ratio was 1.333 instead of 1.222. 21:39, 23 July 2016 (EDT)
 * On the other hand, Dolphin does say the aspect ratio for the English version of PMTTYD is 640x528, but it does not behave so. (I am still using Dolphin 4.0 because 5.0 requires VC Redistributable 2015, and the installation file provided by Microsoft doesn't work on my computer.)  21:50, 23 July 2016 (EDT)
 * To be honest, Dolphin states that both the resolution for the English and the Japanese version of PMTTYD is 640x528, yet it takes 608x456 ones, which is of the same aspect ratio as 640x480. Don't know why. I guess that it is due to automatic cropping that the aspect ratio changes from 1.212 to 1.333. But anyway 1.333:1 screenshots are being used on TCRF.  22:26, 24 July 2016 (EDT)

Uploads
Heehee, I thought someone would ask. I came across this, which is an official guidebook that was only released in Japan, but it details every single enemy from the first few games. Sadly the images are in black and white for the most part, but it's more than what we currently have. I think that other guy just saw me uploading them and putting sources on enemy names, and decided to do some himself

User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox
Hey there, this is the collective admin opinion on User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox:


 * It's a great elaboration on the policy. It would be good to link users to further, more technical reading which also acts as a support page to the policy. It should be therefore titled as "Help:Screenshots".
 * Displaying ideal screenshots organised by system throughout the page is great, as inexperienced users may otherwise not recognise which types of screenshots are the best quality.
 * At "Things to keep in mind", the restriction on "post-processing" effects could be elaborated in a couple of succinct sentences.
 * Some other minor alterations could be made to the overall wording, as well as the "Things to keep in mind" section. But these changes would be made later by the administrative team.
 * At the 3DS section, the direct pagelink to the Homebrew Launcher should be replaced with an indirect link (like those which you have made to "Emulation General"). The information about staying below a certain firmware version should be completely removed (to include this information, it is best to use a link similar to "Emulation General" instead).
 * When you feel that the page is definitive and ready to become an official Help page, then contact us again so we can have a final look at it. Then we'll give you some instructions on how to create and format the page so that it's suitable for official use. The page should not be moved but rather it should be created as a new page.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me. -- 00:06, 26 July 2016 (EDT)

RE:Recent Uploads
Hello! The artworks I provided this wiki with are from a Japanese Mario character book, which you can find and download (almost) integrally from here. The original poster was kind enough to scan it and present it to us – shout out to him! In all honesty, I have no idea what the book is called, either because the front cover is not shown there, or because I don't know Japanese (I see there's a big colorful title on the first scanned page, but I do not know if that's the name of the book). In fact, the original poster did not scan any cover, so there's apparently no way to obtain the ISBN or anything like that from the book. However, I thought it looked like a worthy official source for the wiki, but if it's not (which I doubt), I think I'll stop uploading/base on any information from there until you manage to get some good proof regarding its authenticity. Indeed, I took example from user and decided to upload several samples from that publication. Thank you for your interest, nevertheless! --

HD Pictures Request
Hey, Wildgoosespeeder. I was wondering if you could upload high-quality versions of these two pictures I uploaded:

Re: General Comments About Your Return to Sysop
Why, thank you for your kind comments. I'm glad that after such a break in activity, I could return with new ideas and a sense of still having a purpose here.

About the gallery stuff, we used to use the File and center tags and that was what I was used to. I didn't realise that the coding changed, thanks for the headsup.

TabuuandMasterCore's Personal Image
Hi the reason I put 's image for deletion is because isn't it a rule that says you're only allowed to have 1 personal image for your signature, because according to here it says users can only have four personal images plus one for the user's signature. But had 2 for her signature, are we sure that's even allowed? 02:17, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

browserhax
Cool. Exciting isn't it? I'm going to have to try it myself! How did you find out, anyway? 17:43, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Per sis. I hope you can take all of the higher quality .pngs and replace those stupid Miiverse screenshots with them! 17:45, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Well crap I actually don't own Sticker Star so I can't exploit using that method :/ 17:06, 30 July 2016 (EDT)
 * This [browserhax] is for the New3DS though? :[ 19:29, 30 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I'm trying to boot Mario Kart 7 now, though I'm having issues (all I'm getting is "an error occured" screen right after I try booting it with Hans). I do have Ocarina of Time 3DS lying around, though I'm trying to figure out how to install via oothax. I didn't see the save data there, just the normal save data as if nothing happened (I have three normal saves in that game right now). 20:11, 30 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I don't really want to buy Sticker Star, funds being the number 1 reason I can't. Maybe if I get funds and come across a used copy for cheap I might get it...? 20:51, 30 July 2016 (EDT)

Actually, I have an o3DS, sorry for not making that clear. I just wanted to make sure my hopes for modding the 3DS wasn't false. But, I figured on my own. For some reason, the oothax installer just hangs there, so I'm having trouble running oothax. In the reddit link you provided, it might not be unique to me buuuuuuuut (after reading the link I just provided while typing this ;P) I just have to update the payload. But in the meantime, I did successfully made a custom home menu theme, just to let you know, it overall works. I DO have a n3DS, but it's my bro's so, yeah... 20:10, 31 July 2016 (EDT)
 * It's actually menuhax that worked! It's part of the basic install package, and I just had to configure it properly, which I did. It works like a gem, and I can get Mario Kart 7 running with some nice pictures of Wario's back . I think image replacement is time-consuming, but I enjoy doing it. 22:30, 3 August 2016 (EDT)

Maybe I mentioned this before, but I didn't update to the latest Nintendo 3DS firmware. What do you mean by "update the Homebrew Launcher"? What's the benefit for that? 14:43, 29 September 2016 (EDT)

I still didn't update, but I got a message prompting me to update. I didn't update. I played Mario Kart 7 a little earlier today via HANS, but when I booted my 3DS later, my custom theme isn't here anymore. What's the problem? 00:11, 6 October 2016 (EDT)

Meh, I'll have to find a new exploit, like oothax, and use something like PowerSaves. Back to the same problem. Anyhow, modifying your system has an extremely low chance of bricking, so low that there hasn't really been any reported problems. Fear of bricking is unfounded. The likeliest thing you'll do to brick your system or make your 3DS unusable is if you try something crazy like soldering without even knowing what soldering is. Stuff like corrupt custom files won't break your system, though, especially since those likely aren't even modifying your system's files directly; you're just tricking your system to read from your SD card rather than a ROMFS or something like that. Of course, you can't just find every site that distributes stuff that isn't official Nintendo content, but it's the Internet; don't be stupid. Being afraid that Nintendo is somehow able to detect that Homebrew is installed in your system (which sounds nigh impossible to me) and somehow "deny" services to you is also paranoid. Even if they did deny you services, there are probably work-arounds anyhow. Nintendo doesn't restrict access to eShop to discourage Homebrew; they patch their systems to prevent access. There is a risk, but short of attempting to solder, I strongly believe the risk is minimal and your fears are unfounded. 14:53, 7 October 2016 (EDT)

Go-to Guy
Dunno. What exploit, console and System Version are you using? --Hiccup (talk) 02:33, 29 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Ah. If possible, you should use anything other than browserhax. Browserhax is much less reliable than the others. --Hiccup (talk) 03:40, 29 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Secondary exploits are fine. Secondary just means you can't do them without homebrew or unofficial hardware - it doesn't reflect on the reliability or quality of the exploit. Do you have or can you get (get from a friend, buy it from eShop or shop or re-download it from eShop) any of these?: Freakyforms Deluxe, SmileBASIC (USA version), The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Sky3DS (this is a card that can "simulate" exploitable (and many other) game cards, it would be piracy, but you are only using it once and not actually playing the game and you can delete the ROM afterwards), VVVVVV, Citizens of Earth, Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Cubic Ninja, Ironfall (old version)? --Hiccup (talk) 04:18, 29 July 2016 (EDT)

Re: Two Images
Hey. That is a perfectly good screenshot, it would not have been right to delete it. Also considering that it differs significantly from the alternate screenshot. I replaced the sprite with the screenshot, as the sprite was already used on the game's gallery page. So nothing is left unused.

17:30, 29 July 2016 (EDT)


 * Ok, looks good.


 * They differ because one seems to habe been taken from the original version, and the other was adjusted to appear as seen on the Virtual Console. Plus the positioning and scene is different.

Anything for P&D:SMBE?
Hey, Wildgoosespeedster, I see you've been uploading some ROM screenshots from the 3DS games. Would uploading .png pictures from Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition be in the cards for you? I'd like to eventually replace the pictures from Miiverse with those from the ROM version. --
 * No emulation, huh? Well, I have the digital version of the bundled game if that means anything. Beyond that, any help having things set up would be great. --Zootalo (talk) 16:33, 30 July 2016 (EDT)

PNG Monstrous
Yep sure, I was thinking about replacing the jpgs, I'll do that as well as create the other power shot articles whenever I'm on my computer. Just wanted to ask, how do I use PNG Monstrous? I haven't downloaded it yet, so I thought I would ask in case I download it and have no idea on what I'm doing. - 19:16, 30 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks, I forgot how to do that, i'll do that from now on. I also forgot to add PNG Monstous, I"ll do that as well. - 02:35, 4 August 2016 (EDT)

PMTTYD aspect ratio
Just curious, what is the aspect ratio of the PMTTYD screenshot on TV, black borders excluded -- 1. 21, 1. 2 , or 1.2 6 ? I do feel that my 1. 3 : 1 PMTTYD uploads are too "fat". 13:02, 31 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Is it a good idea to manually set the resolution to 1128x900 by manual stretching? I'm asking because I'm going to retake the low-quality PMTTYD screenshots on this wiki with Dolphin (since I don't know of any other emulator for GameCube), and that manual stretching is discouraged in the Help:Screenshots - to - be.   00:15, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
 * The problem is that it's hard to get pixel-accurate screenshots (I spend my whole morning doing that with no success) - do you have good methods of doing that?
 * On an unrelated note, it seems possible to remove the black border and reveal the content behind it when taking a PMTTYD screenshot --
 * [[File:PM2 Hooktail.jpg]]
 * Do you have a clue of how this screenshot is taken?  00:44, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Do you think it's a good idea to convert the image above into a PNG? Pro: PNG is superior to JPG, as always. Con: bigger file size. -- 05:19, 5 August 2016 (EDT)

Special *-* images
Firstly, remember to use. You're skipping it.

Secondly, bad filenames. I thought it was Super Mario Bros. Special maps at first. Always, always remember to include (an abbreviation of) the game title in the filename - e.g., SM3DL-Special *-*.png. - Reboot (talk) 21:34, 4 August 2016 (EDT)

Re: Revision delete request
Hello. Don't worry, your requests don't bug me at all.

I have chosen to not delete that particular SM3DL revision. It's not a duplicate revision, and the file history is small enough for a single mistaken revision to not be a problem.

Thanks, 04:48, 6 August 2016 (EDT)


 * It was a long time ago, but I'm very sure that I've seen other sysops deleting duplicate revisions of images before me. Although I don't know of anyone today who consciously thinks of deleting revisions. Of course, there should be strict, written standards on deleting file revisions. This could be entered into the Deletion Policy some time in the future, but I follow these general ideas:


 * Revisions which are an exact duplicate of a past revision (not counting compression), uploaded by mistake or through reversion warring, should be deleted.
 * I have seen many file pages where there are at least ten revisions of users just using the "reupload" reason to send comments back and forth. This is scathing to look at, and the file page should ideally only show revisions where the file was improved.
 * And then standards which are already strictly enforced, such as any inappropriate or copyright-infringing content (includes certain "strategy" content from published game guides).

Re: Image Replacement
Ah, thanks. To be honest, this isn't the first time this has happened. But thanks for the heads up. I'll ditch the image, as it is likely no longer needed. 19:30, 6 August 2016 (EDT)


 * Thanks for the advice, but it's fine. I'm content with how it's laid out now. But thanks anyway.

Sure it can. In fact, I'll go through my user page and search for any other images that aren't being used. Thanks again for notifying me again. I'll get on it right away. 22:25, 13 August 2016 (EDT)

 * 3. Oh, well.


 * I don't know, just thinking you could help clean it up a bit. 20:21, 9 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Unfortunately, Facebook was the only option I had to get it onto my computer. I don't use homebrew and, for some odd reason, my computer doesn't have an SD card slot. So, yeah.
 * Actually, is it possible to post pics taken from the home menu onto Miiverse? 20:31, 9 August 2016 (EDT)

You mentioned a while back you had the demo version of Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. If it's not too much on your plate, would it be possible for you to rip screenshots from the demo? It'd be five screenshots: one of the title screen; one for a normal battle, and boss battle for Intro; and one for a normal battle and boss battle for Expert. I haven't had a chance lately to get my 3DS set up, or else I'd do this myself. Thanks! --

 * As for File:Twilight town.JPEG, I took it, but unfortunately there are black borders that show up in an animation style during cutscenes. It's similar to the Hooktail Castle image I mentioned earlier when I asked whether it's a good idea to convert it to PNG. Such pictures are hard to replicate in full with the in-game camera.
 * By the way, I'm currently searching through Category:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Images too and trying to reuse the screenshots by location.  05:16, 20 August 2016 (EDT)

Re: Reduction in art dimensions
Oh, thanks for bringing that to my attention. When I was active in pre-2014, I always made it a habit to watch for files which exceeded five megabites.Although after I retired, that guideline was removed, for reasons I am not sure of. Perhaps ask Porplemontage whether there is a current standing on maximum filesize. But I still believe that 8 MB for any image is excessive. And the Princess Peach artwork which you mentioned is still a very large resolution, even if it was reduced.

Re: Pre-release notice template idea
Hey. I'm not too sure about the idea. On one side, it would be beneficial in the same way as the template, which says to not re-upload or edit the image due to its usage as an Image Map.

On the other hand, our Aboutfile template should ideally be the way to inform users that the image is from a pre-release. I don't see the benefit of having both an Aboutfile description, and a big colorful notice template above it. In my opinion, we shouldn't have to make it any more clearer to users beyond Aboutfile.

Re: Screenshot Submissions
Yeah, I don't know why I'm here either. I just missed editing. ^.^ I will probably disappear again when college kicks in.

Back in the day I always uploaded stuff by screenshoting from Youtube. Better than no image, I suppose. I have a GBA emulator that did terrible things to my computer, but it works now, so I could always get a nicer picture. If I have time to get it, that is.

Re: Image categorization
Just as a side thing, with 's help to temporarily remove the category of and,  and I went through images to insert the missing category. There was a lot missing and it was tedious. So tedious that the project was abandoned. Read up on it on his talk page (it's archived).

Hey. I didn't quite understand what was this task entailed exactly. The only conversation I can see begins from here. Could you explain it from the top?

18:00, 26 August 2016 (EDT)


 * Ah, so you guys removed the automatically transcluded category on some of the licenses, to then see what appears in Special:UncategorizedFiles. And then anything that appeared there was definitely missing a game category or something similar. Great idea! If I have a spare 36 hours, I could probably lend a small hand.


 * If such a large flood of files were to be edited one after, I'd suggest that Porple or Glowsquid enters anyone participating into the bot usergroup when we decide to resume that task. A "couple thousand" images at a time wouldn't be ideal for viewing recent changes, especially if we happen to be editing at a busy time for the site (probably around evening EST).

Directing messages at users
When directing a message at a user, you should user @User (like Twitter) at the beginning of the sentence.

File Type Question
Hey, I have a question about file types, and I thought maybe you could help me. I know that .png images are more desirable than .jpg images because they are of higher quality. When I upload images directly from my Wii U - I have no better method of getting images, as far as I know - it uploads the image as .jpg. However, the picture appears to be of very high quality. So what does the file type mean specifically? And can I convert my .jpg images to .png? I didn't upload the image I captured to Mario Wiki yet. I was just experimenting. Thanks.
 * Okay, so this also an issue with the file size? I'm trying my best to understand. If I upload them as jpg, is it still able to be "compressed" (or converted or whatnot...), or will the solution ultimately be for someone to reupload everything that I upload (with a completely different image)? And even if converted to PNG, it won't be quite as good because it started as .jpg?


 * The Wii U takes really nice HD screenshots. I just wish that they could be as perfect as possible xD Not sure how I feel about getting a Wii U emulator and having to play through a ton of stuff again.
 * That's how I'm going to get my screenshots for DKC Tropical Freeze. I guess that's what I'll have to live with. I was hoping to take the opportunity of freely uploading whatever screenshots I wanted to make small gallery sections for each level. Anyways, thanks for answering all my questions and confusions.

Re: Imagecat
Nice! I have a question, what does the "note" mean at Template:Imagecategory-reminder? I don't quite follow it. What categories are missing?

05:03, 11 September 2016 (EDT)


 * 95% of images that people upload from day-to-day are applicable to a game category. In the other miscellaneous cases of television/film screenshots, comics and merchandise, it doesn't hurt or take up too much time to give the user a specific example of what category they should apply to the images they upload. And the way the template is currently written, the user would then know the correct procedure for game images if they were to go on to upload those.


 * I don't think a link to Category:MarioWiki images would make it immediately clear to an inexperienced user. We're throwing gallery pages with the long abandoned "award images" category in the mix, as well as other categories which the average user would likely not use. And I don't think another subcategory to collect the "Images by ___" would be very practical.


 * Additionally, I kinda disagree with your recent removal of several subcategories from Category:Images by type. The categories "glitch" and "pre-release/unused" perfectly fit within the "images by type" title: there is no reason why they do not belong or be split only because they are used by copyright tags, especially since Category:Images by copyright status is already focused on splitting images by copyright.

Paper Mario screenshots
Have a message from A gossip-loving Toad:

"On YoshiKong’s talk page, you mentioned that the Paper Mario screenshots from RPGShrine were of terrible quality. What's exactly the problem? I happened to be playing Mario games through emulators and tried retaking a few of them, but quality didn't improve much so I stopped. As for the argument, I didn't deny that mentioning the crop is right. I was just saying that not mentioning the crop is not wrong."

--


 * A gossip-loving Toad's reply to the message you posted on my talk page:


 * OK, now I understand what you mean. In fact, these images are converted from GIF to PNG, not from JPG to PNG. Anyway, I'll be retaking the rest of them once I get my computer back.


 * P.S. Will you be retaking them? If so, I'll just wait for you to come up ones with angrylion rendering.


 * About cropping: If technical accuracy is at stake, it is much simpler to add a note to that says, for example, "The Super Mario Wiki does not guarantee that the screenshots will be presented in the same way as the hardware output." That rule is bad because not everyone get their screenshot by emulating the hardware and such people will be forced to compare their version from the hardware's version and mention something they have NEVER done.

Re: Moving Files
Greetings,

I see your point; however, I believe there are certain cases where image names should be changed.

Here's a copy of what I wrote over on Tucky's user page:

"I've fixed the 'Shroom error. Tucky can fix the user pages, although I'm personally not that sure how much it matters, considering they aren't particularly active.

Regarding the reminder you sent me, I find that moving image names (especially if they have a major typo in their name) can be warranted under some cases. While image names are highly subjective, basic spelling should always be correct. It's a nuisance, yes, but it's the professional thing to do." --Andymii (talk) 17:00, 17 September 2016 (EDT)

Re: Broken File
You talked to Steve about a broken file. I have a question. Is it not showing at all but is showing a blank page? 16:16, 22 September 2016 (EDT)
 * I suggest you change the size on the page (not the file) that the image is on. If that's not the case, then you're beyond help, possibly. 16:24, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

the image not the actual page.

Re: Featured Images Conflict
Hi there, I'm sorry in the delay in responding to you.

I think it would be very unnecessary to replace that JPG, even if the version on PidgiWiki is indeed a source PNG. At the large size of MarioWiki's version, the face that it's a JPG does not matter (and the compression appears to be very low, as the quality is quite good). High resolution wallpapers like that, without transparency, are fine as JPGs. It's just not worth a PNG version, considering how many times larger the file size would be.

20:45, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

RE: Signature
Huh? I thought I tagged it with the Signature tag. It's in my signature already. See? What should I do since I've already created the signature? I don't know if it matters, but I created it using the preferences page as opposed to User:Luigi 64DD/sig. -- ( talk -  edits ) 15:52, 24 September 2016 (EDT)

I see. I'll change it right away.

I believe I did it right this time. So, now what? Will the image be taken out of the unused page? -- 16:31, 24 September 2016 (EDT)

OK. Thanks for informing me of my mistake. -- 16:37, 24 September 2016 (EDT)

Screenshot cleanup for Paper Mario
Sorry for using your talk page as a sandbox directly. After a conversation with YoshiKong, I explored the existing Paper Mario images and came up with the following info: I don't have access to the K64 article so that screenshot didn't make its way to one of the lists above.

I noticed that you are taking care of the existing screenshots on the wiki. Want to take care of them? My Android cellphone is inconvenient for editing the wiki. Thanks. --  05:14, 27 September 2016 (EDT)

Drybone345
I find it annoying to have to read your messages, I'm new here so I need to be able to make edits freely, and plus, I think that the NIWA wikis don't allow this.

RE: Super Princess Peach Images
I'm screen-grabbing them from an LP I'm watching at the moment, but looking at the thumbnails of the videos, it looks like higher quality ones are coming in.
 * Well the issue is, I own neither an emulator nor the game so YouTube is the only actual way I can get screen grabs for these levels, and I'd rather have that then a page with no images. Thankfully though, I do remember how to resize images so I can happily do that before uploading.

DryBones345 concern
It's rather frustraiting that I need to read your messages, you can't just monitor my changes, I hope you will stop bossing me around and just be a normal user, just like me, and everyone else on the NIWA wikis.

Image Categories
Thanks for reminding me about adding categories to my images. --MarioKartDoubleDash (talk) 12:58, 1 October 2016 (EDT)

Sorry about that
This is SmithJrBlaquaLuigi I was trying to edit my page because sometimes I forgot what to add on my page. I apologies. I'm just a noob with this.

Also, I haven't seen these replies on my discussion page before lol

Super Mario 64 HD
A new Super Mario 64 TAS came out and sonicpacker made an encode. It was HD but the HUD elements got rendered with no black outlines. Do you know which video plugin it used? –  10:41, 2 October 2016 (EDT)

Disappearing and reappearing
Oh hey Wildgoosespeeder! I haven't seen the wiki since the last time we discussed about something...I knew there was something, to the point that I wrote up a very big thing on a topic about it, but interruptions and going off the beat type of stuff. Well, unless it's not needed anyone (which would kinda suck that I typed all that up). An unofficial successor to Monster PNG? I'll definitely check it out and do some comparisons.

From my experience, believe it or not, the drawback of a super compressed PNG file is that it takes some more processing power to recreate the image as it is than a relatively uncompressed PNG image. It's subtle but a noted difference from my experience of compressing PNG snapshots from my mobile device. It's a bit like uncompressing a compressed ZIP file, with the best compression technique for the lowest filesize, but decompression is not necessarily the fastest if older compression techniques are used in this extreme manner. There's a reason why from looking in earlier iOS game files, Apple recommended to convert PNG files that are generally viewable to make it optimized for their iOS devices to the point that it won't render properly from viewing from non iOS devices.

Let's hope I don't disappear off suddenly, right now I'm rather preoccupied with my education. Did anything notable happened in MarioWiki and anything related to it between my time away from the place? -- 04:04, 7 October 2016 (EDT)

A question
Hi Wildgoosespeeder, can anyone revert someone else's personal images. 14:47, 9 October 2016 (EDT)

Hey
I think you were a bit too quick with the Image Category Reminder. The image was just uploaded, like within the first five minutes of you posting the reminder. Maybe wait a bit before posting a reminder next time, yeah? See if they can't correct the mistake themselves? 15:37, 11 October 2016 (EDT)

Transparency
How does one apply apply transparency to the background of images? I think that would be a useful skill to have. 14:10, 14 October 2016 (EDT)

Re: Duplicate
Different background, different enemies and obstacles. It's fine to keep both.

18:51, 14 October 2016 (EDT)


 * But, with that reasoning you could argue that we shouldn't have more than one screenshot of any character from any game. Both screenshots are of good quality, and have distinguishing elements. I didn't want to go and delete one. That's my opinion, and that's all I have to say about it. If you wanted to talk about it further, then I suggest to ask another sysop.

Water Ring
Hello, the Water Ring has been split from the Coin Ring if you didn't know. Feel free to edit either one because I am not doing either. (PS. I am a supporter who waited a day before separating the two. Don't ask me to do either one.) 16:23, 15 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Middle Ring and Blue Ring are the only rings not mentioned. Also the Mini is still not created yet. 21:03, 15 October 2016 (EDT)

Re: GIFs
Well it's pretty late but I've taken a look at the Paper Mario sections of the Spriters Resource, and found that most of those sprite sheets have no boundary boxes for the individual sprites (assuming that they're stored in rectangular bitmaps in-game). Do the size of the sprite vary as Herringway walks [EDIT: or did you make sure that the sprite was indeed matching its technical resolution before you crop]? -- 11:19, 16 October 2016 (EDT)

Picross NP pics
Hi. No, I know sc'shots from youtube are usually low-q. I snipped it while I was playing Vol.2 on ZSNES. (I'm totally not interested in SNES9X)Wario W. 97 (talk) 11:20, 18 October 2016 (EDT)

Ghost Valley 3
Thanks for the higher quality MKSC image! For the SNES image, I was successful in getting a savestate to work in snes9x (to open the special cup), but I couldn't play through to the Ghost Valley 3 track because the keyboard controls were very difficult. So I took a time trial screenshot instead. Were you able to retrieve a screenshot showing an SNES Ghost Valley 3 race?

15:51, 20 October 2016 (EDT)


 * Thanks. Yeah, I've got some of that stuff. But it's all in Australia (I'm in Europe now). I'll try out all the 3DS homebrewing when I get back in late December. – User talk:YoshiKong 16:17, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

Categorization
Sorry! When I uploaded File:White Boss Brolder.jpg, I was on the gamepad and forgot to categorize because it was so difficult typing on it. I was getting around to categorizing it my computer when you did. Just wanted to clear that up before you mentioned it on my Talk Page again. 22:10, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

Compress/Transparency
How do you compress a sprite/artwork or add at least some transparency to it, I want to know so I can upload higher quality images like you and. 19:29, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Re: Nintendo Adventure Books
Thanks for creating the category and adding all of the images to it! I wasn't sure whether it'd be necessary to divide the image categories by each book, but grouping them together is probably for the best. As for File:Mariobook.jpg, I highly doubt that it's from one of the Nintendo Adventure Books: I don't own many of the books, but big title in black is unlike anything else from the books I own, and the style seems more in line with some sort of coloring/children's activity book rather than the text-heavy NAB series, which only occasionally has artwork for puzzles and items. Still, your best bet would probably be to ask the uploader, YoshiKong. 19:28, 30 October 2016 (EDT)

Save Block
Could you get some Save Block screenshots from SMRPG, the Paper Mario games (except TTYD) and M&L:Bowser's Inside Story & Dream Team? [On precedent, this probably works out as either you get the shots directly; or I get the shots off YouTube, you get annoyed at YT screenshots and then get the shots anyway to replace them ;)] - Reboot (talk) 11:42, 31 October 2016 (EDT)

Aaand I knew that idea would set you off. I was just hoping to get the screenshots rather than the rant ;). 'Cause I *will* go the YouTube route if you don't beat me to it!

As for "why YouTube over emulation", three things other than "lazy": (1) Not everyone has a computer capable of running 3D emulation. I've got a pretty basic laptop myself - I doubt I could run anything more recent than a GBA emulator. (2) It's illegal. Not technically, it is - it isn't enforced particularly at the moment, but that could change. It might be a pyrrhic victory, as the RIAA should have found by now, but it's entirely possible. (3) Semi-related to #2, ROMs aren't necessarily trivial to come by. - Reboot (talk) 19:01, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
 * 90% percent delivered now is better than 100% delivered later. Take Peach's Castle Garden for an example, the three screenshots I uploaded is blurrier than what the hardware output would be, but they serve the purpose (of helping the reader locate these Attack Pieces) equally well. On a side note, in other sources it's hard to find whether the surrounding black borders are part of GUI or part of hardware output. If most uploaders don't care if our screenshots differ from the emulator output by black borders, most readers don't either. It's not worth it to sacrifice the former for the latter. -- 22:20, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I do understand that a YouTube capture or blur to an image that can still be deciphered is better than no image but the problem I have with that is that such images should be tagged with . Emulation is rather easy to get into these days, especially older consoles. Newer ones, yeah, need the CPU and GPU power, such as Dolphin. I have long since moved past the black border issue now that there is a policy in place that it has to be mentioned a crop took place. I originally requested that be part of policy is to ensure that the image(s) uploaded and affected by the border, unwanted by, are not too small and were appropriate sizes before the crop. YouTube captured will still be hard to judge, but by default, needs to be recaptured anyways in an emulator. -- 22:30, 31 October 2016 (EDT)

Images
1. Why did you upload a completely separate version of SNES Bowser's Castle 1 instead of a newer version? 2. How do I do the PNG Monstrous so that you don't have to keep uploading new versions? 19:11, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Oh, okay. I would normally save images in PNG format, but I didn't check when I was saving it. I guess I should... Also, you forgot to answer the second question. Either that, or you're answering it as I type. 19:26, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Wait, are you saying you used an emulator to upload the images? If that's true, is there even any point of me trying to upload screenshots since I don't have an emulator? 19:34, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I don't think I want to do that. So... is there any point of me uploading screenshots without an emulator? 19:59, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I see. I might look into those methods more some time. Thanks! 21:44, 31 October 2016 (EDT)

RE: Deletion Reason
I often seem to rush them before linking the file, unless there's valid significant among them.

Warning Overturned
Looks like they overturned the you gave me. It's a shallow victory for me, though, since it was only overturned because the wording of is in my favor. It looks like an incident like this, with a user making a repeated, annoying mistake on accident, hasn't happened until now, since they only just changed the wording of the template. I just want you to know that there are no hard feelings on this side of the warning. I completely understand how annoying my mistake was and that you were just trying to make I abided by the rules. But I've been remembering to Categorize images, so we shouldn't have this awkward situation again. Speaking of which, when I upload an imaged, the word uncategorized appears in brackets underneath the image info template. It's really helped me get into the habit of categorizing. Would you have anything to do with that? 10:59, 2 November 2016 (EDT)

MPA
Done. I also replaced some of the other minigame images - mostly because they were originally .jpg files instead of .png files. 21:27, 4 November 2016 (EDT)

HANS
It would be totally great if you're able to recapture my recent Mario Party: Star Rush screenshots (preferably with the settings/characters I have in my screenshots if you don't mind) with HANS. As of now, it's inaccessible to me because I lack the stuff required needed to exploit it, from not having Pokemon games to not having a new 3DS, and I don't feel like soldering my system to get custom firmware or any of it. 20:44, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
 * Aw man. I guess the best I can do right now is wait until a new exploit I can do is released. I haven't hacked my old 3DS system yet so I can't do any exploits that require you modded your system once before. :( 20:57, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
 * Hopefully the "good" game is Mario Party: Star Rush since it just got released yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't own Mario Party: Island Tour so I can't really help you there. 13:35, 6 November 2016 (EST)
 * Nope, I don't know any active user who has Mario Party: Island Tour, which is a huge bummer. Also, not only is the quality from HANs better, it's a ton more convenient to use. Loading Miiverse everytime you want to take a screenshot is really tiresome. 15:30, 6 November 2016 (EST)

sorry if it seems like I'm butting in, but I actually have Island Tour, so I could help with images if necessary. at least this way the game won't be a complete waste of money haha 16:05, 6 November 2016 (EST)
 * Just like Paper Mario: Sticker Star, as I use it to run homebrew through the use of the exploit stickerhax. HAHA! Alright, fix that one image in particular along with any other Mario Party: Island Tour minigames that may have been overlooked. If you can run HANS by setting up homebrew and picking an exploit, then use that instead. -- 16:20, 6 November 2016 (EST)

trying angrylion
Do you know if there are other N64 emulators that can use angrylion for rendering? What Project64 vexed me was the absence of a frame advance button as well as only one save slot (which feels like Android over GNU/Linux). I did get impressed at the quality of the output, though. Optimized PNGs taken with angrylion are usually 60% the size of those with Glide64. -- 11:22, 8 November 2016 (EST)
 * On my machine it ran at about 40fps with angrylion set up. During normal play it was 60fps, which could be sped up to 200fps+ with the F4 key. This as well as the built-in cheatcodes allowed me to proceed significantly faster than I imagined. I'll probably abandon Mupen64/BizHawk when I'm using Windows [when there's no need to zoom in]. -- 22:01, 8 November 2016 (EST)

JPG to PNG
How do I convert a JPG file to a PNG. When I see an image I want to add transparency to, I copy-and-paste it to Adobe FireWorks and convert the white background to transparency. Unfortunately, I can only save it as PNG, so if I'm trying to upload a new version of a JPG, it won't allow me because the extensions don't match. Here's an image I'm trying to reupload. 15:22, 8 November 2016 (EST)
 * Sorry to butt in. The .jpg format doesn't support transparency, so you'll have to save it as a .png. 15:25, 8 November 2016 (EST)


 * I would like to advise against trying to modify artworks with transparency. Sprites are fine to do so, because they are normally made up of very large, clear pixels. But artworks normally have shading and uneven edges, which is difficult to give proper transparency to without negatively affecting the edges, or leaving behind artefacts. The general recommendation is if we find an artwork with a background, we don't really edit it. But sometimes, Nintendo releases artwork with transparency already. Or they release official photoshop documents, which allows people to remove the background layer of the image (leaving the image with the original transparency). In these cases, uploading images with transparency is perfectly fine.


 * BTW, here you may find a proper transparent version of the artwork you mentioned.


 * 15:44, 8 November 2016 (EST)

Wow, this transpired pretty quickly. Generally, I would not recommend converting JPEGs to PNG because typically, this bloats file size and doesn't make a file higher quality. Any artifacts generated by JPEG will be preserved in the PNG. I have come across images that did this and replaced them with a clean counterpart. If all you are doing is transparency to artwork, it's best not to do that on your own for reasons mentioned by other users so far and this proposal. The only exception being the PSDs or artwork with transparency already existing, such as those for Gallery:Paper Mario: Color Splash. Assuming these weren't the case, I would recommend FastStone Image Viewer for conversion and GIMP for editing and applying complex transparency. -- 16:22, 8 November 2016 (EST)

Shadoo Sprites
Could you upload high quality screenshots of Shadoo's forms, besides Dark Luigi? For Dark Luigi, I was able to get rid of the gray background in seconds to get a sprite of him. Since the background doesn't have different shads, it was easy to edit out. It would be nice to sprites of the others too. 19:22, 15 November 2016 (EST)
 * I asked about the sprites on Shadoo's talk page. I uploaded this as an example of my work and, as usual, it turned out huge. Could you apply PNG Monstrous to it please?
 * 15:41, 16 November 2016 (EST)
 * Actually, my calculations put that image to be 262.71 KB (269010 bytes) at most. 64KB, that's under. Yeah, it can stand to be better compressed, but this time, no apparent issues. -- 16:01, 16 November 2016 (EST)

That image was actually being used on userpages and it says here that if the user who uploaded it is not using it, tag it to the user who has been using it the longest and in this case it was. 00:52, 17 November 2016 (EST)

Re: Identify This Image
Hey. That looks like the block that only Ball o' String Wario can break while he is rolling. I'm not sure what the official name of it is, but the block itself would be worthy of an article. For the meantime, the image could be placed on the Ball o' String page.

Re: Paper Mario Replacements

On a side note, I was able to replicate the debug screen with angrylion's RDP graphics plug-in, while neither Glide64 nor the Glide64mk2 variant I had used before rendered it. -- 08:49, 24 November 2016 (EST)


 * For File:KoloradoTreasure.png, I retook it but it turned out angrylion's version looked worse than the current version -- 3D objects looked raggier and there was a black dot by the left border of the speech bubble, as the example on the right shows. -- 23:13, 24 November 2016 (EST)
 * I do acknowledge that's how the game looked but in a few cases where we can do better than these old hardware, why not? The old revision of KoloradoTreasure.png was an excellent example of photography and I now regret having replaced it with a pixelated version that degenerates quality. The purpose of that screenshot is to show the scene of Kolorado chasing the treasure, and a photo is more suitable than a bitmap. -- 10:48, 27 November 2016 (EST)
