Title: Who Could Help Me Out?
Post by: Phillyman on June 20, 2008, 08:25:44 AM
Ok so I am 90% done with my collection list for now, But it bothers me that some of my games dont have a cartridge shot. So If I were to go through my current list of games and take pictures of all the games that RFG does not have a picture for......who could I give them off to to import into the database?

I am sort of short on time these days, or I would do it myself.


A example of what I am talking about is "Super Cobra" for the Atari 2600, which has no cartridge picture.

You can use the image database and add them in yourself, or one of the staff mught be able to upload them in abatch and give you credit (I think). That seems plauseable...

I don't know if you're aware, but there is a tool that will show you which of the games in your collection have scans, should really help out: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/collection.pl?name=Phillyman&folder=Collection&action=tools
If that link doesn't work, click on the Tools tab at the top and from that page click the other Tools tab, and then from there click the button that says "Find Missing Images".

Anyway, submitting images to RFG is really easy and pretty quick too. Just go to the Submit Info page (http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/submitinfo.php) read the FAQ, and then start submitting images. I can usually do a full set of scans for a game in under 5 minutes, starting from taking the first scan to cropping them to submitting the last one.

First, there's no need to feel rushed.  If you know what does and doesnt have images available, you can simply scan or take pictures of the ones that dont have them, edit them, and submit them at the time best suited for you.  If you have any problems submiting stuff, you can always PM a member of the staff about it.
