From Sonic Retro

Is this to be used in addition to the standard NotAvailable.png? Frozen Nitrogen 11:42, 30 June 2009 (CDT)

Pretty much--it's for things we can more realistically get correctly. For instance, we don't have a good way of getting next-gen screenshots, so we just throw NotAvailable.png. We do for pretty much everything non-Saturn, so add a request. I'm basically trying to prevent the problem where a low quality screenshot is uploaded and then we have to delete it when a decent picture becomes available. - Scarred Sun 11:44, 30 June 2009 (CDT)
...Should I take that as instruction to stop with my uploading of crappy Sonic '06 shots? MY theory was that "poor quality screenshot" > "NotAvailable.png", but if you're describing such practice as problematic...? Frozen Nitrogen 11:55, 30 June 2009 (CDT)
Well, no, as in that case once again we have no way of getting better shots. I was actually thinking more along the lines of DC and DS screenshots--stuff some folks can do and some can't. - Scarred Sun 12:00, 30 June 2009 (CDT)
But it was my impression that some folks (somewhere) CAN do NextGen screenshots. There's obviously the facility to do direct transfer of high-qual screens from the Wii and the PS3 and whatnot to Internet-land, or these vids I've been screencapping from wouldn't be around in the first place.
Or do you just mean "we have no way of getting better shots" in the sense that no-one on Retro at the moment has the ability to pull off such 1337 capture ski11z? Frozen Nitrogen 12:10, 30 June 2009 (CDT)
I meant more in the sense that not all PCs can handle that sort of emulation. However, soon enough I'll have a direct capture source, so I'll at least be able to do GameCube stuff in the future. - Scarred Sun 12:12, 30 June 2009 (CDT)
NO$GBA produces good quality screenshots, bear that in mind. I do have a few Sonic Rush Adventure screenshots, but not a lot. SOTI 12:15, 30 June 2009 (CDT)
