    Traditionally it's been a ruling to have screenshots in native resolution. That being said it doesn't always place nice with the UI and so that isn't a hard set rule (that I'm aware of). I personally would prefer though that if it's pixel based systems the scale be a pixel perfect scaling. No one wants to see any stretch/miss-shaped pixels... Generally speaking I think upscaled resolutions in 3D games also should be avoided. The screenshot should be indicative of what the game would look like on OG hardware, and not what it can look like after being manipulated by emulator tricks. Also in general you should NOT be accepting images using shaders that alter the game image in any way. The images where pixel games are manipulated to look like some smudgy watercolor crap doesn't really belong in the database.

    Same for screenshots with scanlines turned on, right? I mean scanlines generally do look good on a monitor (depending on your perference), but in  screenshot form, not so much

    Is there a guideline about the size/resolution of game screenshots?

    I have seen some sort of a "fight" with people scaling the screenshots with the original resolution and people trying to revert these scalings.

    I couldn't find any guideline regarding this point.

    My issue with scaling isn't so much that they are scaling the images, as it that they usually only scale one of the screenshot images that are present In the entry, if you are going to scale images, scale ALL of them instead of just replacing a single image

    Update: I got it to work by connecting through a VPN. I guess it's on my end then. I'm confused as to what is blocking it, because I can connect through the website and through emu movies sync app just not through Launchbox. Also, Launchbox is connecting to its own servers just not emumovies solaunchbox itself is not being blocked from accessing the internet.

    What av are you using?

    ESRB rating refusing to delete after removal

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted · Edited by MJF
    Update again

    https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/414385 for example this. This was only released in Japan, so it does not have ESRB ratings. I changed it to Not Rated, which got accepted, but the ESRb ratings still is present. This is not the only one either. I removed a fake ESRb from a 1983 arcade game, that got accepted multiple times, but is still there.

     

    No game from the 1980s has official ESRB ratings,

     

     

    There is also an issue of changing INCORRECT ESRB RATINGS to the correct one such as this 

     

    https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/420361-tiny-thor

     

    https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/tiny-thor-switch/?srsltid=AfmBOopfRP3mcBV2mF3R7ZLD_cOjC5PGmbz-N9FzWSmBO2Govs9WQuTV it's rated e10+.not e

     

    Another example is THIS

     

    https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/134206-steinsgate-elite The VITA port was EXCLUSIVELY released in JAPAN, so it does NOT have ESRB ratings, so why lock the ESRB field of all fields to lock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steins;Gate_Elite

    Fixed a typo

    Can we get the following, they are all for the Atari 8-bit line, although a couple were also released on the C64, in fact they were sold in the same box (Wilde 15 and Wilder Westen)

     

    Warlok was also released on the C64, but uses a different logo than the Atari box, and the C64 version already has a high quality logo)
