Pokemon Confusion

In Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, you deleted my page because it was regional differences, but isn't Pokemon Red and Blue's bug page the same thing? --TmanDaCool1-- (talk) 04:38, 16 January 2015 (EST)

Empty Files

You said that "we don't cover empty files and folders", but this page has quite a few empty files listed, and even explains how their filenames connect them to certain aspects of the game. Can you explain this contradiction? --AquaBat (talk) 10:34, 12 February 2015 (EST)

Those file names have far more significance than a blank audio file simply labelled "dummy". -- M64m (talk) 10:51, 12 February 2015 (EST)

Alright, that makes sense. --AquaBat (talk) 11:08, 12 February 2015 (EST)

I was about to add content to the Hot Wheels: Velocity X (PC) Page.

Damnit!

Recreating when I have content.

Sexy Lexy~ (talk) 21:40, 12 February 2015 (EST)

If you were about to add content, why are you saying you'll recreate the page when you have content? -Einstein95 (talk) 21:45, 12 February 2015 (EST)

Forget about that.

I have info now, for Prototype Features and Version Differences.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by LexDragon (talk • contribs)

I noticed the page I made was deleted. Did I break any rules creating the page? - AnthonyDaBest (talk) 17:02, 23 February 2015 (EST)

Don't be a jerk

Please wait a little longer before tagging a page with a "sucks" template and don't be priggish when writing comments, even if the quality of the page was underwhelming. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 20:39, 25 February 2015 (EST)

This was already brought to my attention. Thank you for noticing. -Einstein95 (talk) 05:52, 26 February 2015 (EST)

About the xbox version of ESIII

I have not played it myself. However, the XBox version was built off of the PC version's code so it has most if not all of the content present on the PC version. (the exception being able to mod and install mods.) most of the broken quests, bugs, and other things are present. There are a few differences but they're mostly related to hardware differences between the xbox and PC. There are also a few bugs that were introduced only in the Xbox version. The Xbox version also wasn't revised as much as the PC version. So I guess they are a bit different. Though is it different enough? --Glisp (talk) 13:15, 1 March 2015 (EST)

Port

In regards to the Super Street Fighter 4 edit: "We don't document differences between ports, but kept the revisional change". Are you sure? Because there are several game pages that have differences between ports, such as Megaman Legends (between PS1 and N64 versions) and I've added a lot of "version differences" regarding ports to several games. Or do you mean that since SSF4AE is the original one, that I shouldn't add version differences about the versions that came AFTER it? ReyVGM (talk) 04:40, 10 March 2015 (EDT)

I'm not entirely sure, but I'd say the latter. -Einstein95 (talk) 04:43, 10 March 2015 (EDT)

Alright, that seems fair. ReyVGM (talk) 13:35, 10 March 2015 (EDT)

Issues on IRC

I was going to ask you a question on IRC, but for some reason I was banned. Is there a reason why I was banned? I don't think I broke the rules, since all I did was ask a question. --8SomaCruzes (talk) 21:18, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

If you use Mibbit, that's been banned due to abuse. Sites like KiwiIRC or standalone clients are fine. -Einstein95 (talk) 21:22, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

Oh okay, thanks. --8SomaCruzes (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

Physical Address

A physical address refers to the address of a value in binary form such that the data base accesses that from a device. Also, this is how Derpygoat was able to enable the cheat. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 22:07, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

You mean, they used a shit emulator and got an impossible cheat? Like making a game-genie code for patching a ram address? -Einstein95 (talk) 22:13, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

Yep, that is how they got it (and Derypgoat is the lead coder for Mednafen). Also, Coach K College Basketball has a code that only seems to work in Kega Fusion. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 22:16, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

EA college football in the 16-bit era

Hey! Thanks for looking over the article.

A bit about the series... The EA college series begins with Bill Walsh College Football ('94) in 1993. BWCF also got a '95 version (like Madden the '95 version covers 1994). The original ('94) came out on the Genesis, SNES and the Sega CD but none of the other entries got CD releases, and only CFB USA 97 got on the SNES after that.

In 1996 the game became College Football USA and expanded from 36 teams to include all of NCAA Division I-A (108 teams) and actually could use their real names. CFB USA 97: The Road to New Orleans, which was one of just two to see an SNES release as well, has 111 (actually 112) teams (all the changes mirrored actual teams adding and dropping Div. I-A football) and is a generally improved game with menu graphics and other changes.

CFB USA 97 should probably have an article but for some reason the copy I have only shows every other character of text. It does seem to have all the stadium name oddities of CFB USA 96 (except Pacific, which dropped football).

After '97 EA got the rights to use the NCAA's likeness and the NCAA Football series began under that name in 1998, but it was entirely on the PlayStation. Raymie (talk) 02:59, 3 April 2015 (EDT)

If the copy of CFB USA 97 has every other character of text, what format is it in (also what extension does it have)? The copy I have has the strings in readable order. -Einstein95 (talk) 03:11, 3 April 2015 (EDT)

I have BIN files for both CFB USA 96 and 97. I got CFB USA 97 again from another site and I can actually read it. I do have a screenshot of its title screen but I see that the one I put in was replaced — any help? Raymie (talk) 12:39, 3 April 2015 (EDT)

HTTPS outgoing links

Hi, why do you change https URLs back to http? Not everybody has the HTTPS Everywhere extension. -- Sanky ~ talk 07:24, 6 April 2015 (EDT)

This is something I've noticed that BMF has done in the past, plus Youtube links automatically redirect to https. -Einstein95 (talk) 07:41, 6 April 2015 (EDT)

Proto:F-15 Strike Eagle III - deleted reference

Hi, why did you remove the reference to the file format details from Proto:F-15 Strike Eagle III? It is related information readers may be interested in, and in fact would need to know about if they want to find more stuff that is "on the cutting room floor" in this game. Perhaps related: User_talk:BMF54123#F-15 Strike Eagle III --DOS (talk) 08:25, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

I removed it as we normally don't do references on pages like that. I was going to include it in a link in brackets but it seemed unnecessary. If you want to include the link (and others like it), you could list them all on a notes page (i.e.: Notes:F-15 Strike Eagle III) and it will automatically be linked to in the bob of the main page. -Einstein95 (talk) 08:28, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

Thanks, a notes page sounds like it makes sense - in the (unlikely) case anyone is interested enough to read everything, they'll find it. --DOS (talk) 22:43, 16 May 2015 (EDT)

EarthBound Beginnings

You reverted the regional differences being moved because the Proto:Mother page "talks about an actual Proto cart". However, all of the changes seen in the prototype have been found in EarthBound Beginnings, and almost everyone assumes that it's a direct emulation of the former prototype ROM. Even if the latter isn't necessarily true, the former point still stands, making the Proto page all but redundant anyway. So, should the page be changed or not? --AquaBat (talk) 23:37, 17 June 2015 (EDT)

What exactly do you have against reflecting the game's localized release? All of the regional differences are exactly the same as in the prototype. I don't see what's wrong with editing the article to reflect the localization, as has always been done. --AquaBat (talk) 19:13, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Mother was only released in its official form in Japan. "Earthbound Beginnings" is only used in the title of the VC release, which is equivalent to boxart. This name is not reflected on the title screen, which is what we base article names on. -Einstein95 (talk) 19:20, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Okay, so then we don't change the title of the page, but keep the mentions of the localized version's title in the regional differences to distinguish it from the Japanese release. Then can we add the regional differences? --AquaBat (talk) 19:29, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Ratchet & Clank series

I'm sorry for what happened some moments ago, I didn't know. By the way, since you're an active Admin, may I ask some questions that are not included in the guidelines? I'm a huge R&C fan, and I have unearthed lots of unused/early content and I'm co-developing a program to extract compressed textures from all the games, which will also include demos or actual proto builds.

What I'm asking is, how do we deal with 3D animations? Do I have to make a Youtube video to show them off? And for unused 3D content, is part of a focused screenshot (I can change the camera wherever I want) good enough that I don't have to extract the model and render it separately? Also, I have extracted a bunch of 8-bit textures with a 32-bit palette for alpha, which means they will lose a channel when saved as .gifs, but I wanted to show off how these textures worked when blent together by changing alpha values, but this basically means I have to create really elaborate .gifs which will probably look bad. Any suggestions or I'll just leave the textures without reproducing any behavior?

1. A YouTube video is fine, or you can make an animated .gif if there isn't too much loss.
2. Yeah that's fine although the latter is preferred.
3. We prefer .pngs for images, unless they're animated. .pngs would (most probably) not have any of the transparency issues .gifs have.

-Einstein95 (talk) 07:58, 20 June 2015 (EDT)

The problem with PNGs is that I don't know how to animate them, and they probably won't work in anything but Firefox. Also please forgive me for this, but I forgot to ask the most important question: I have lots of unused audio cues to upload, probably more than a hundred, is there any way to do it with the less hassle possible? Thank you for your time.--Capelino (talk) 08:41, 20 June 2015 (EDT)

How to get clean screenshots without wasting time

Hi, I'm the guy who just made the prerelease page for Sonic Jam (Game.com). I was just wondering, what software did you use to capture the screen and then crop it? I just used snipping tool, but the entire window was captured, and I had to approximate how to crop the thing. I have the same problem with nullDC shots. WhoIAm (talk) 12:08, 30 July 2015 (EDT)

In the Game.com emulator, just go File > Save PCX > 1x1, then use, for example, Irfanview to convert it to png. -Einstein95 (talk) 12:14, 30 July 2015 (EDT)

300px

Thank you for informing me that 300px is no longer functional with the new wiki update. Since I saw this help page I thought it was just me. :) I also find it interesting that BMF said a year or two ago that 300px might not work in a future wiki update.--Chpexo 19:56, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

Halo 3 Cover Pic?

Hey, I've set up a page for Halo 3, and I tried uploading a Halo3Cover.png, but you had deleted it before I could link it as the main picture. Is there a reason for this?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Derf321 (talk • contribs)

Template for "Category:Games released in" pages

Before I break anything or spam the wiki I'd like to get the feedback of an admin about a template I made. It's intended to be uses on the "Category:Games released in" pages to navigate from one to another. You can find the template here. --SuperFlomm (talk) 01:05, 18 November 2015 (EST)

Tri Force Heroes Regional Differences

Hey there Einstein, before I go all out on this, I gotta know if what I want to do is meant to go in the place I want it. In the Regional Differences subpage, we have the opening scrawl NOA translation compared to the NOE translation. Can I not also compare the French and Spanish versions of the game here? Japanese as well? And is this not the place to compare the different title screens? (You deleted my comparison of the Japanese and NOA title screens so I gotta know.) Japanese, English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German are ALL languages this game has been translated into. Can I compare the dialogue between these translations on this page? Thanks! --AmbitiousFilmMaker (talk) 17:50, 24 November 2015 (EST)

No, as the game simply being translated into other languages is common and not notable. (unused text on the other hand is.) The comparison of the Japanese and US title screens was simply saying that it got a different title, information that is already in the {{bob}} on the main page. The US and European English translations being different is notable as it is uncommon for a game to be translated into English twice. -Einstein95 (talk) 01:30, 25 November 2015 (EST)

Alright, thanks for clearing this up for me. So, English NOA and English NOE can be compared because the fact that there's 2 English translations is notable, huh? Ya know there's also 2 French translations, one for North America (Canada) and for Europe (France) as well! By that same logic.... ;) Well, anywho. I guess I'll publish my findings on another site in the meantime, I've been working on this HUGE language comparison project between all 8 translations. Thanks again! -AmbitiousFilmMaker (talk) 19:57, 27 November 2015 (EST)

Super Mario Maker Advertisement

Why do you add a Twitter account to the page of Super Mario Maker ? That seems more like an advertisement. Doesn't it fit better in some sort of reference link at the end of the page?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cabreak1 (talk • contribs)

You realize it was in a todo, right? NWPlayer123 specifically was looking through Super Mario Maker's files previously and posting things that weren't used. The link was placed there (by me) so someone could go through her posts and add anything that wasn't in the article. It isn't "advertisement" at all. --AquaBat (talk) 18:13, 25 November 2015 (EST)
