mrkoolnerd : If you're unsure about a screenshot, give me a link to it and I can help you figure that out.

Davideo7 : Alright Davideo ! I've been diligently working on taking screen shots since you posted this opportunity! I got enough finally for 500 ! I would like the Laptop and beta ticket items, please.

I had a txt doc I was keeping track of the stats while I posted the screen shots, here is my final tally:

I took 319 total screen shots
6 of those screen shots were regular 1 point screen shots - 6points
59 of those screen shots were 2 point screen shots             -  118 points
254 of those screen shots were 1.5 point screen shots       - 381 points

(double post)

Davideo7: I really like this idea and have submitted some screenshots, But before I continue I must ask a question. I have submitted screenshots of every level and time zone in Sonic CD, if I was to do the same for the American version would the screenshots count toward the prizes? The screenshots would show basically the same thing but there will be no duplicates. ie same time and zone, but a different location of the level.

Davideo7 : Hello,
I made a lot of NES and Atari 5200 screen, as well as many others and I updated most of them.
They sure are more than 200, but I'd like to have the Beta Test Ticket to being able to test and do screenshots of MAME and Sega CD games, I'm not really interested in the Netplay item.
most of the screens I made are for games that didn't have any, I hope you will assign them too

LegolasJJH : Wow, fantastic job, you couldn't have done a more perfect job.

bombchu link : Yeah, sure they'd still count. Yeah just as long as they're different locations of the levels.

bartoman : You also did such a awesome job, thanks a lot. Let me know once you've done enough for the Laptop item.

Davideo7 : hi, there, I have more than 500 screenshots now.
I probably abused vizzed.com today

btw, I just noticed that in the windows where the arcade emulator plays, it says "5=InsertCoint", you might wanna correct that

Thank you, Viz sent.

Gn120 : Seems like most of your screenshots were from the same game and a lot of the screenshots seemed kinda useless so I'm only going to count it as 250 screenshots. I'll give you the netplay item.

Matthew2321 : The Laptop and V-Machine item wont cover CD games.

Yeah I can.

Got 1 question here: Is somebody rewarded only once?

Example: someone that already reached netplay limit but wants to get the beta tester ticket

Gn120 : You can get rewarded more than once.

I think I've been pretty serious about my game testing so far and taking screeshots. In fact, before I saw this forum I was doing just that for MAME. I explored up to page 300 and also searched up games I know of from CPS1&2, and Neo Geo. I've played lots of games users haven't even looked into yet but I was surprised to find Davideo7 played Ehrgeiz. (Cloud, Tifa, and Django are unlockable by the way, I posted how in the comment section of the page just for you.)

However that does raise one question that could possibly help the beta testing further while I screenshot images. Perhaps I could make a video log of my MAME sessions on Vizzed to show certain problems that may arise in video games, or even suggestions as to what could be added to MAME. For example, I made a forum for Rail Chase on the cursor in the game and realized, the cursor is too slow to keep up with all the intense action, so I suggested ideas that could be added to fix this such as adding certain options from current MAME emulators (digital cursor speed increase, sensitivity X&Y, speed for cursor to move back to center).

Right now I'm working my way towards netplay with the screenshot, but at my rate, I could possibly go for the laptop as well.

I do have one more question regarding images looking similar to each other. What if it's a fighting game like street fighter, and in each image, you may be doing different special moves, or supers, or showing you won? Just as long as it's not an exact repeat will it count?

AWESOME!. Well, i think i reached enought points for the beta tester ticket, but now arent from the same game

Shogun Gamer : You're serious that Cloud and Tifa are unlockables on the arcade version of Ehrgeiz? That's awesome, I really appreciate you letting me know that because I was disappointed when I saw that they weren't. If I can play as Cloud, my favorite video game character, I'll be putting many hours into that game when I get the free time.

There's really not much I can do to enhance the emulation of the Arcade games, the best I can do is gather feedback and in the future pay Tom to try and make the fixes if he's capable.

If it's the same fighter and the same stage but different moves, I wouldn't count it. However, if you showed a fight on all the different stages, all of those would count.

Gn120 : Viz sent.

Davideo7 : Thank you David! Don't worry about the crosshair problem then. I made a forum about it but, if you need to take money out of your pocket just for that, I wouldn't want you to do such a thing just for me.

But if there is netplay with MAME, I'd totally play against you in Ehrgeiz, I'm pretty good heh heh. But yes, I am serious that Cloud and Tifa are in the game, but the way of unlocking them is insane. But I played an arcade of Ehrgeiz and it did have them. I just hope MAME doesn't reset the clock that does unlock them. If anything, I'll leave it running for a day and a quarter just to get cloud at least.

As for the pictures, I'll take a lot more then because, well, as you said, some of my pictures can't be counted. Meaning I probably have in the hundreds and not two hundreds anymore. So no peeking yet.

I do have one more question, and that would be about making videos for Vizzed, just to notify in the video that MAME is coming, show some of the beta testing I am doing, etc. It'll also attract more people to Vizzed especially since MAME is hosted on the site. So far what I've been doing was Vizzed Represented let's plays where I do the let's plays recording the Vizzed window, and keeping everything PG at least. The videos aren't that good, but after a little influence from a friend of mine, they are much better, but not on youtube yet. Haha. I do whatever I can to help Vizzed.com out because I love the site.

I believe that I qualify for the Netplay item, but I'm not sure whether all the screenshots are considered valid or that I get all the bonuses that I think I got considering most of my points come from 3 games. The amount of screenshots with bonuses that I think I have is 272 screenshots.

Shogun Gamer : The MAME games on the site do support save states so you should be able to just save and than load that save later.

Yeah feel free to make videos for vizzed and submit them to youtube if you want. I have another thread where I award 1000 Viz for each 1000 views youtube videos get (as long as they have a link to vizzed.com in the description).

ByePass : Yeah I'll let those count, it is nice having every screenshot of every level for a game (and I mean that seriously too, not sarcastically). I do have 1 request though, I noticed that the names of the levels for Lolo aren't consistent. For some of the screenshots you have Floor 1 Room 1 and than for the others you have like 5-5. Could you rename the screenshots so that all of the level names have consistency? Thanks. Viz sent btw.
