Michael, you should not compress your images so much.  Look at the reds and the text and all that.  It's barely readable.  What exactly are you doing to destroy those images so much? 

Sorry,didn't even notice. It was mostly a Photobucket issue,it downsized automatically. I stuck it on imageshack,so there you go.Now you can read the text.

He's using .JPG.... >_<


Michael, download Irfanview, and save your pictures to PNG.

JPG doesn't have to look bad.  It only gets that "mosquito noise" when it is severely compressed.  in Photoshop, I never set the level below 7.  8 is preferred.

Photoshop will work wonders for your jpegs. I use the highest quality; i think its 12. They still look good after being uploaded to photobucket.

Yeah, and using the absolute lowest quality jpeg possible. Jpeg can look almost as good as a .bmp if the compression is used in moderation.

Very true,and I was downsizing alot,but part of that reason was to save a tad bit of space on the file size. Usually anything I slap up on photobucket is PNG for auctions,but on threads I don't want to get people complaining about file sizes. I guess you cant win either way,so here is your PNG request:

I find that for the quality PNG files are quite small. Definitely smaller than JPEGs of comparable quality.

PNG is the internet picture format of the future, my fellows! Of the FUTURE!

I always set my JPEG level to 8 :P .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

So, I can't get the Dragon Saber hi-res trick to work in any emulator. And Dragon Spirit requires far too many resets for me to want to bother doing it with my actual PCE.

They have to be "soft" resets (RUN+SELECT) not hard resets. So that means, you can't use the emulator's "RESET" funciton. You have to use whatever buttons you have set for RUN+SELECT.

The tables on that cheat page look like they were taken straight from PCECP.

Yeah, that's what I did. Still didn't work. Not in Mednafen or Ootake. Bastards! (the emulators, not you)
