I sent an ending and it wasn't posted, what happened?
- Give me time, I am generally busy and I don't
have time to post everything that gets sent to me.
I still have endings contributed a year ago that I haven't posted.
Other reasons might be that you sent me an incomplete ending or low quality screenshots. Endings from
hacks, prototype, unofficial, homebrew and pirate games are out of the question too.
Screenshots suck, why don't you put ending videos?
- Yes, videos would be ideal, but there are other issues to
consider such as: bandwidth and time.
I doubt the server could handle the load of 2000 people downloading 50 meg videos each day.
The time it takes to encode each video is something that prevents myself and
contributors from making decent ending videos.
Not to mention the dozens of video codecs out there that play for some people
and not for others.
YouTube is a nice alternative, but the video quality is terrible; plus
I don't trust having videos
on a server I have no control over.
Emulator videos are out of the question since each person would need to have a copy of the emulator
and the specific ROM file to play it.
Another important thing is that you can't put ending variations in videos unless you
know how to use video editing programs, which I'm pretty sure most people don't.
The bottom line is, having ending screenshots is the simplest, fastest and most reliable way
of putting a massive endings collection online.
