@jyanncorp no there is kinda no rules. so far i usually merge into usa releases. but in certain situations like with aleste here it is better to merge into the more popular name. maybe later whn openretro with all platforms is "officially" made public and people like it different, or frode wants it different, things can be easily switched. so nothing is getting lost.

@jyanncorp i use the rsync repo of the developement launcher/databae. and in this version the plugin you mentioned isnt there anymore. so i guess frode dropped support for it and use only mednafen. that is why the platform setting in the lower right corner is greyed out. i dont know. here you have to ask frode since i just add things here and have nothing to do with the developement and stuff.

@thevoice, Sorry i messed up with "Global Defense/SDI" in the same idea. So there no rules for default names. yes that personal, for me Aleste remember me Super Nintendo, but I remember only Power Strike when I think about SMS (I don't know its was Aleste younger)

@thevoice Ok i update all this and work fine. Great work by the way! This clearly have to be put in front But now I've another question... There is a GenesisPlusGX-LR plugin, how can use it for SMS emulation? most game compatible and light-gun support.

@jyanncorp just a matter of taste . i made this one merged into aleste because aleste is a lot more known then power strike. and i dont know what you mean with the sdi title. sdi is a totally different game.

@thevoice Ok. But in this case, why the Japanese version give the page for this game.. It was referenced to SDI, but its call like this only in japan.. All other game show US or European titles. Except for Japanese titles only. But why use Japanese name for the entry here?

@jyanncorp no need to. power strike is already merged into aleste. look here: https://openretro.org/game/1b31b65f-be32-486f-92ac-28bf353fd2dc/edit the problem is: frode need to run a certain script to remove these empy variants. until he does, the empty ones show up still after he did the empzy ones are gone. so if you see no variant entries, just ignore them as they are already merged to their parent tilte.

@thevoice Hi! how can transfer a variant from aleste here?

@jyanncorp hi, we use the arcade tag only if there is a version for arcades. else mostly every junp and run, beatemup, racer and whatnot would fit into arcade .

@jyanncorp ofcourse it is . have a look here https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fsgs

download the required emulators and enable the different platforms inside the launcher under settings/game platfroms and point to redump/no-intro/tosec/mame sets under settings file database. and check under settings/plugins if you have all plugins setup properly. and dont forget the cheats plugin because i have spend a lot of time into properly cheating all supported consoles aswell. hopefully frode will put fsgs somewhat officially soon so more people can easy make use of it.

@thevoice Ok, so its possible to use openretro database with mednafen?

@jyanncorp because this project is not windows only but also linux/applecrap. also mednafen is a extremely nice emulator. so i guess that is why frode picked mednafen.

@thevoice Sorry, wrong covers

@thevoice That's probably a stupid question but.... why mednafen?...

@thevoice The European/Us release is "Global Defense", SDI is the Japanese/arcade title.

@thevoice Sorry for the mistake, this is a port from MSX game by Zemina.

@jyanncorp we cant publish master system titles which require a lightgun to play, as mednafen sms emulation have no lightgun support until now.

@jyanncorp hi, if i am honest i would simply disable all this brazil crap for good . what is released there is just junk no one would ever play for more then 30 seconds.

@thevoice Hi! For the Brazilian version, the game is out under "Kung Fu Kid" too.

https://segaretro.org/images/a/af/KungFuKid_SMS_BR_Box.jpg

I think the Brazilian games have to get their own pages because in most of case there not Brazilian version but "remasters" with popular Brazilian licenses.

@thevoice screens done with BizHawk 2.4

@thevoice I known that why I take care to choose good one, by the second the second wave of screens for this game are do by myself, you can can validate the 5 (256x192) , i keep the ingame crop, that why one is too much crop.

@jyanncorp i know you put quite some effort to report parent/clone titles in sms aswell. unfortunately the commnt page shows only so many and i cant see them anymore. would it be possible for you to add the uuid yourself ? on empty variants just copy and paste the uuid from the parent set top entry (not a variant) to the empty variant ? this way they wont get lost.

@jyanncorp hi, can you also add tags for titles you submit ? in this very case i would add tags like racing, bike, topdown, verrtical. you may have to take a look to similiar types of games to get used to the "used tagwords" tho.

@jyanncorp 3rd screen is from you. for example one of your 4th screenshot. https://tineye.com/search/f93b0b30526c2ad292410d9eb524b7dc4e845638?page=1

@jyanncorp good job on them

@jyanncorp this was just an example to show that quite many of the internet floating screenshots are scaled. if you take screenshots directly from mednafen sms come out 256x240 which is totally correct. and most fo them are 256x192 or 248x192 after cropping black borders as you have figured out.. these are what frode wants for openretro. if you make them on your own with mednafen it is all fine. and very wanted by openretro. and as i said. maybe smspower have some correct screens but many internet found screens are just scaled up to fit the "systems" videomodes. for example check like 99% of mobygames nes submissions. they are mostly scaled up to fit nes resulution. it is always better to do your own. this way you can be 100% sure they are good as you created them. and yes, you do a very good job with tracking down all these better resolution covers and all the things you contribute to the different systems. and for the screeshots, believe me before i created acceptable ones frode rejected several 100s of them. but over time is easy to learn how to create "good" ones for the different systems .

@thevoice new screens takes with menafen

@thevoice I do screenshots with mednafen-1.24.1 for somes games and I get a 256x240 res screens After cropping I get a 248x192p image.for in-game and 256x192p for some title screen, (same as SMS Power ans same color pallet) I don't known how I can get a 200x150p res screen with mednasfen. I try with KEGA Fusion for non-working (like BTTF III, Ace of Ace) and I get the same sizes but the pallet is darker. The waste of time is maybe here or if I do something wrong, tell me. I try to do my best, how do you process ?

@jyanncorp here you can see why its a wast eof time to use internet found screens. check the size of your downloaded ones and compare with the ones taken with mednafen in 2018 .

No problems, I understand. i will just update covers for now and see later for screen. Thanks for you patience.

@thevoice Sorry for this entry, I don't see the title was incorrect.

@thevoice if the screens are good, so this is the wrong game for this entry. the two different game are on the same page.

@jyanncorp just for info. i wont approve any screenshots for master system until i get a green light from frode. since they are downloaded from sms power.

@jyanncorp the screenshots are taken from masters golf. and since i always do my submitted screenshots by myself. i am sure they are correct. as i said copy&paste screenshots from internet sources isnt the preferred method. rather do them yourself. it takes longe but it is 100% better.

@jyanncorp i approved all of your empty varaint findings. good job btw for always putting the correct uuid for them .

@jyanncorp if you stumble over demo/prototype/sample versions in a game entry just use Disable and put Demo in .

@jyanncorp anything wrks as long as they re not just copy & pasted ones . no need to turn openretro into bullshitarch or crapbox

@thevoice Yes I will try them later and post comments. For SMS screens I use SMS power screen for correct color and crop.

@jyanncorp also a friendly reminder, if you plan to add screenshots for so far not published titles, i strongly suggest to do your own screenshots and not rely to mobygames/giantbomb copy & paste. as many of the stone old screenshots are either scaled and or converted from .gif/.jpg to .png and stuff like that- also old emulators also used wrong color palettes for a while. so its better to do own screenshots. that way you also do "playtesting" and see if there is emulation problems. same goes for the other sega realted titles aswell as for ninteno and psx.

@jyanncorp yes it will show the japan cover then. but the rom is japan/europe so i would go for first region. master system is a ver yold system and the region stuff wasnt thought out very well back then .

@thevoice but if filter is added, thats will show the japanese cover for the european version no?

@jyanncorp you can add japanese cover for the japan/euro variant.
