Question

Hi Immewnity, do you have any of the following discs? I happen to have them and am happy to create ISO files of them for you:

Nintendo GameCube Mini CD-ROM (Image link)
Nintendo GameCube Preview CD 2002 (Image link)
Nintendo Power August 2005 DVD (Image link)

I did not take photos of the discs and am definitely not selling them on eBay. :P

I also have the European GameCube Mini CD-ROM, but I downloaded it from an ISO site. Gaz (talk) 19:41, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I have the Mini CD and the Nintendo Power disc - feel free to add the preview disc ISO to the FTP.--immewnity (talk) 07:19, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Done. The file name is "Nintendo Preview.iso"; it's in the FTP server's root. Gaz (talk) 23:48, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

File Name Accidents

Immewnity, I'm sorry about me accidentally uploading files on to this wiki with bad filenames. I'm so used to uploading files on a wiki from a red link. I'm just making sure you're not upset at me is all; I've made this mistake about four or five times. Gaz (talk) 22:27, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

No worries! It's all good. --immewnity (talk) 14:46, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Secret Nintendo of Europe Site

Yo Immewnity, I found a secret Nintendo of Europe site which can be used to save some of Nintendo of Europe's content on to the Wayback Machine, unlike the other main sites: http://test01-gz06ghmn.nintendo.co.uk.

Cool, isn't it? I just saved Mario Party DS's site on the Wayback Machine this way. :D Gaz (talk) 15:48, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Huh, cool! Nice find! That's definitely useful.--immewnity (talk) 20:04, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey!

I'm Mario/Bazooka Mario from MarioWiki. We had a discussion about the Mario images recently, but in the meantime, I decided to sign up and help around with the categories and all. Let me know if I'm editing and categorizing correctly since I'm new here. It's just to let you know. Thanks! LeftyGreenMario (talk) 23:08, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

All right then! I'll be waiting until you're ready. In the meantime, my sister has decided to help with the uploading images here, so don't panic if you find another user sharing an I.P. with me, also uploading images that you've given me. LeftyGreenMario (talk) 22:24, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

1.34 GB, eh? Well, I can suggest some media cloud site like Dropbox or Mediafire, which have file upload limits that exceed well over 1.34 GB. But if the site crashes or something like that, you can split it into two files or more. LeftyGreenMario (talk) 03:52, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Oh, you have MegaDrive! Ah, well, I'm downloading the file now! :) LeftyGreenMario (talk) 03:53, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Got the files! Who's going to upload? LeftyGreenMario (talk) 04:06, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Request

Please delete this image as quickly as you can. If you look closely, that image is just a low-resolution sprite, noticeably by its indexed quality and inflated size. Meanwhile, I do have artwork of it in the Prima eGuide and I don't feel like giving a different name, especially when this wiki emphasizes on naming files properly. Thanks! LeftyGreenMario (talk) 20:32, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Oh, yeah, I do have some more coming. I have recolors for all the Smash Bros. cast bar DLC characters. And, yeah, some might look like cheap recolors, but, as you see from Duck Hunt artwork (and future artwork such as Beach trunk Shulk), they seem to be official. Thanks, by the way! LeftyGreenMario (talk) 01:34, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Yeah. I'd like to note that even in the ripped sprites, some artifacts leftover from Photoshop recoloring you see on the artwork on Prima guide, it carries over on those sprites. I'll give it the benefit of doubt and upload those nevertheless! LeftyGreenMario (talk) 02:54, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Splatoon Style Guide

Hey! I have a question: where did you find the Splatoon Style Guide? Thanks you very much. Nintando (talk) 20:55, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Ah, ok. And the Logo usage guide - Nintendo.pdf ? And the Nintendo 3DS asset usage guide.pdf ? Nintando (talk) 15:56, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

High quality card scans

Heya, I noticed that there are some ridiculously high quality .png scans of Heart Gold/Soul Silver cards on this wiki. I also noticed that there were two scans of a similar quality of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum series cards, but couldn't find any more. Would you happen to have any more that I simply haven't found, or perhaps know anywhere that I could find such high quality scans? I've literally never seen them anywhere on the internet, all the other scans are either small or blurry, but these scans on this wiki were extremely crisp and huge too.

Press kits etc

Hi

I'm collecting pre-release Nintendo stuff (especially 2004-2006 stuff), and I wondered if you mind sending me some press kit stuff I don't have. I prefer stuff in (redump quality) ISO format, with information on what was written on the box and disc. Th is is what I have. I'm willing to send you stuff that you want. EDIT: I only just realised this whole site is for press stuff. Great! Does it/will it accept official gameplay video or images? And may I upload PSDs? Some stuff comes in that format originally, and I don't have photoshop so I cannot losslessly convert them to PNG (GIMP and Irfanview mess up colours/layers). --Hiccup (talk) 11:29, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Good to know. BTW, can I have access to the FTP, if that still exists? And what naming should be used for screenshots? Same sort of thing as artwork? --Hiccup (talk) 15:55, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Immewnity, I'm the guy who introduced Hiccup to here. Redumped ISOs would be fine with me as well (original source format reasons). Gaz (talk) 00:34, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Source of images

Hi
What is the source of these images?:
File:Logo - Pokemon 20th Anniversary.svg
File:Logo (simple) - Pokemon 20th Anniversary.svg
File:Pattern - Pokemon 20th Anniversary.svg
Thank you

3 Patrons, Good Job

Hi Immewnity, I have two things to say:

1. I pretty much told Hiccup about this place, which I mentioned earlier. 2. Congrats on getting three patrons. Did you promote this site better or did it happen as time went along? 3. When did you start allowing screenshot uploads?

As always, good luck on this site.

Gaz (talk) 05:39, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Just Wondering But

Why are we not allowed to link to press sites. I was wondering that since the start because I would see all of these images without a source. I was seeing recent changes and was only wondering. Gaz (talk) 08:44, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Also, I can never find a time to chat on Skype. Will you be free from responsibilities this Easter break? And that's interesting (the press site), but I felt like it would be respectful if you gave credit. Gaz (talk) 01:48, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Should screenshots have characters listed?

Also, can the "event" field have stuff like "E3 2005" listed? And one more thing, could I/you add a date field? --Hiccup (talk) 19:09, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

PS3, PSVita and XBox 360 systems

I was wondering if you could add the PS3, PSVita and XBox 360 systems to the template. --Moonboy65 (talk) 15:01, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

I'd also appreciate this :P --Hiccup (talk) 17:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

How should dates be formatted in filenames?

I need to specify which Nintendo Direct a screenshot is from. --Hiccup (talk) 19:07, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Subevents

How is the the new subevent field meant to be used? Like this?:
Event: E3
Subevent: E3 2005

Or this?:

Event: E3 2005
Subevent: Nintendo Conference

--Hiccup (talk) 14:44, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Multiple things

Do you have any images of the packaging/discs that Gaz posted on assemblergames? I want to make sure I name them appropriatly when referring to them in file descriptions.

Also; could you make it so you can have multiple sources in an infobox, and set one as the "main - the highest quality one that is uploaded to the site? Sometimes screenshots can be found on multiple official sites. Sorry if I'm annoying you with my constant questions. --Hiccup (talk) 11:08, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay. One last thing: if I want access to stuff that isn't on the FTP I think you might have access to, do you mind if I request it? --Hiccup (talk) 16:16, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay: Videos and screenshots from: Sonic Rush, Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Super Mario Galaxy series, the Paper Mario series and. These are the games I want to focus on/am interested in :P. Or if they are on the FTP, could you maybe give me a pointer to the locations? I don't really want to download loads of stuff to find out what is/isn't relevant. --Hiccup (talk) 16:41, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

I'll explore a bit more then. About the CDs: could you tell me what was written on them and their packaging? --Hiccup (talk) 11:34, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Videos

Could you add support for uploading videos, even if they can't be embedded? I'd really like to start archiving video stuff. --Hiccup (talk) 16:32, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for adding ogv, webm and mp4. Could you also add mov, wmv and flv? Those seem to be the format that most (or all) the stuff I have was distributed in. --Hiccup (talk) 16:58, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I'll upload my mp4 stuff. What is your opinion on uploading avis (when the security issues are sorted out)? Should they somehow be losslessly compressed or somehow converted into a smaller lossless format? --Hiccup (talk) 17:27, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

How to know what to name "main art"?

How do I determine if it should be named "key art", "group art", "character art" or what? --Hiccup (talk) 18:39, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Three questions

1. For DSiWare games, should the system be "Nintendo DSi" or "DSiWare"? 2. You know you said there were security issues with certain video formats? What were they? 3. Could you post a complete directory listing of the FTP? That would help with navigating it a lot. Thanks --Hiccup (talk) 18:53, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

1. Okay. Do you think "subsystem" would be a good field? For stuff like DSiWare? 2. Could you enable WMVs etc if I virus check (using virustotal.com) every upload I make for those formats? Maybe that should be a rule for all uploads of those formats?

3. Even if it was outdated, it'd still be helpful. And maybe for the new stuff, you could post change logs? Just a sugestion. --Hiccup (talk) 12:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the directory listing. Regarding the video-virus problem, would it be possible to limit those types, so only trusted people can upload them? --Hiccup (talk) 16:15, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Okay. I wonder if an indirect method would work: a bot that deletes all uploads of that type by users that aren't on a "whitelist"? --Hiccup (talk) 15:08, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Seems like a pretty big problem. If there is some way to have externally hosted files on the wiki, I'd be willing to use space on my file hosting accounts (google drive, mega etc) --Hiccup (talk) 16:42, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about the bombardment of messages, but I've had another idea :P. Would it solve the problem if all WMVs (etc) were uploaded in archives (e.g. ZIPs)? --Hiccup (talk) 10:24, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

HTTPS for pidgi

Hi could you enable https please.

You can use https://letsencrypt.org/ which is free and is sponsered by mozzila and facebook and other big companys.

I keep getting something about insecure image.

Nitro PDF

Could you send me a link to the program files folder of the installed program? I can't use the installer. --Hiccup (talk) 18:50, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

The problem is I don't have admin access on this machine to use the installer. --Hiccup (talk) 12:24, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Maybe so, but the program is free. Couldn't you email me the files? :P --Hiccup (talk) 09:47, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Never mind. --Hiccup (talk) 16:28, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

How should files be named if they pertain to more than one game?

Should it even have the " - Game Name" bit? --Hiccup (talk) 19:47, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, I'm referring to the E3 2004 Game Informer Online footage I recently uploaded. How should that be dealt with? --~~

Different platforms for one game

How should different boxes for different platforms be dealt with? E.g. Box NA (Nintendo 3DS) - Zero Time Dilemma.jpg or Box NA - Zero Time Dilemma (Nintendo 3DS).jpg --Hiccup (talk) 10:13, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about the SM64 box art

That was an obvious mistake. --Hiccup (talk) 16:59, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Could you add support for EPS files?

It is sometimes used instead of PSD. Thanks --Hiccup (talk) 13:32, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

The reason I uploaded them was for them to be converted later. I realise that they are much better converted into a common format like PNG. I'll try and get ghostscript sorted out for EPS in the future though. --Hiccup (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Yeah I do, where's this script? :P --Hiccup (talk) 14:23, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Filling the "Set" descriptor

Hey there! Just a question that came to me while I was browsing, are we meant to fill the "Set" descriptor on Template:Info like how it has been done here and here? It seems to be a mistake, but I wasn't completely certain. Thanks.
