Submitting screenshots

Sorry, it was my fault, can you try again? Sylvester

Now it worked! Thank you for your attention! Best regards!

... about the resolution of screenshots, I have a request... What the use to upload screenshots with the same resolution of the thumbnails? For example, if a thumbnail is 256x192 for a quick preview, what's the reason to have the same screenshot for the plain view? I always make screeshots with blueMSX at 544x480 and Gen-MSX engine makes automatically the thumbnail. This is an example, so you can see the differences: https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/nihon-maikon-gakuin/msx-basic-exercises/media/115/

People have different ideas about screenshots. Some sites like mobygames insist on original resolution, which is pretty small on a modern display, especially new UHD (4k) displays. So small in fact that they are often unreadable unless you use some magnifying tools. GenMSX does not have a real policy, and it is really up to the submitter. I prefer to get screenshots for MSX1 games on an MSX1 due to the colour differences with the MSX2. I also don't like to do screenshots with shaders added. But I'm personally fine with a 2x or 4x scaling (avoid fractional scaling as it causes distortion).

I'm getting an error when I try to submit screenshots for the "Lightpen Graphics" entry: https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/hal-laboratory/lightpen-graphics/5634/ ----------------------------------- Sorry, something went wrong!

Yeah, just post the pictures here and I will try to add them myself.

Dear Admins, I'm trying to upload some screenshots for the ending theme of master of lamps game from Activision but I could not find any button on the game's page that allows me to upload any photo. Please advice Thank you so much

Just post it here on the forum, and somebody will move it.

Even here I cannot find any link that allows me to attach any photo. I could only attach if I have created a new topic on the forum. Otherwise I could not. Is there a problem with my web browser or is it a bug issue? I am using Chrome on windows 10

You are right, try a new topic in the MSX Software section, the general section doesn't allow attachments.
