I've played many a game on Vizzed, thoroughly enjoy it; but made the mistake of hard saving and then hard loading over my own saved data; makes me sad. The worst; however, is my Pokemon Red, I never hard saved it (never really needed to since you could save anywhere) and one day I wasn't paying attention and I Hard Loaded on PR and erased my entire game (as I didn't HS)! All my Poke'mon (all my rares) all my travel scars, and all my hours of sweat and finger cramps for nothing... Super Sad.

If there's anything to learn from this, it's that the Government can't be trusted!
(Oh, and make sure you don't HL if you haven't HS'd)

That's all,
Nice to meet you,

Meika

Hey new user, welcome to Vizzed Board!

I'm Seishiro Leonhart, I'm a RGR Staff member in the role of Game Tester, like the name suggests, I test games around Vizzed which needs to be tested.

You shouldn't feel sad, you should feel happy, you managed to make a great progress on a game, you must think  "I can do it again , I will restore everything I got on that game, I can do it! And even better!".

And one more reason you shouldn't feel sad, you had been selected by me for a awesome introduction about Vizzed Board!

So, why don't you tell everybody a little about yourself? Which are your favorite games? How did you found out about Vizzed? Looking for something in particular?

Well, let's start the introduction eh?

Retro Game Room
Vizzed have a Auto Backup feature

Each day you visit the site for the first time, all of your save files that have been created or updated within the past week get backed up automatically. If a save file gets corrupted or lost in any way, you can always use the 'Save File Manager' to recover your save files.

If in case, your controls don't work for the games

If you're using Internet Explorer, there's a good chance that the RGR Plugin isn't detecting your keyboard keys due to IE's protection.

The possible solutions are:

1. Use a PC Controller; this will bypass the IE protection
2. Add Vizzed.com as a Trusted Site to IE (more info on the IE Protected Mode page)
3. Disable IE Protected mode or Add Vizzed.com as a trusted site (more info on the IE Protected Mode page)
4. Use a different Internet Browser; Vizzed recommends Firefox

About Internet browser support

Java

Java Emulators should work in any Internet browser, just make sure the Internet browser supports Java, and Java is updated.

RGR (Retro Game Room) Plugin
RGR Plugin is supported on the Internet browsers: Firefox 3+ (The most recommended), Internet Explorer 7+, Google Chrome and Safari, these are the Internet browsers that Vizzed tested.

Operating System Support

Java

Java emulators should work on any Operating System, just make sure it supports Java and Java is updated.

RGR Plugin

In order to use the RGR plugin, you will require one of the following Operational Systems:

Windows 7
Windows Vista
Windows XP
Please note that the plugin may require your operational system to be updated.

You can play Vizzed games with a PC controller!

RGR Plugin

All of the RGR Plugin games are compatible with a PC Controller without any additional addons or plugins. The instructions on how to change the controls vary depending on the system but for all of them, you'll want to go into the menu (instructions on how to get there are on the RGR Plugin frame) and than usually you'll want to go to input. Once you find the page with the controls, usually you'll want to click the box with the control you want to change and than press the Controller button to assign that Controller button to that control.
If you plugged in your controller AFTER starting up the game, the RGR Plugin will probably not recognize the controller so you'll have to close out of the window and open it back up.

Note that you'll have to manually change the PC Controller controls for each system.

Java Emulators
You can find thorough instructions on how to play the Java Emulator games using a PC Controller here:

If Vizzed RGR Plugin is not found.

Do these steps in order, after doing a step, try playing a game with the plugin, if it still don't work, move to the next step.
1. Restart your Internet Browser; simply close out of it and open it back up
2. Uninstall and than Reinstall the Vizzed RGR Plugin
3. Try restarting your computer
4. Make sure not to load the applet in both IE and FF, if you previously loaded it in one, you may have to close that browser before trying to load it in another
5. Be sure you have the most recent version of Vizzed RGR Plugin
6. Try a different game (might just be the game)
7. Try using a different Internet browser, your current may not be supported
8. Be sure your computer is up to date

If Save stating don't work.

If a save state fails to load, either it didn't save properly or your connection to the server timed out which means you'll want to try it again.
When a Save State is successful at saving, you'll get a message saying so at the bottom of the RGR Plugin window. If you get a message saying that it wasn't successful, try saving it again.

Saving games

Vizzed allows you to save your game progress, the first step you done, which is register and become a member of Vizzed.
You can save state your game by pressing the F2 button on your keyboard, and to load press F4, but you can also save directly in the game, if you go to a Save Point and save your progress, Vizzed will store on your computer your save data, and when you play the game again your save will be there.

Forums
Forums is where you can communicate with others through posts.

You should hang out on the forums sometimes you can receive a lot of Viz (Site Currency), and maybe, if you make enough good posts, you can earn TP (Trust Points); There is a lot of interesting forums that would like to hear your opinion about something, or forum games for you to play, they can be interesting to read and cool to post! Don't worry about people trying to humiliate you or something when you share your opinion, if someone dares to do this, simply click the red Report button on top of the post and select the kind of trouble the user is causing, and they will suffer the proper consequences, being one of them the mighty BAN HAMMER, but if YOU do that YOU will suffer the consequences.

TP means Trust Points, Trust Points indicates how trustful the user is, getting 10 TP will turn you into a Trusted Member, but if you fall below a certain amount of TP you will be turned back into a Normal Member; Becoming Trusted will give you certain advantages, which you can find out about it in the Help Center.

In order to try to get a good syndrome, and even while posting normally on Vizzed, follow these basic rules.

Follow board and forum rules.
Respect Staff Members.
Use proper grammar and try to avoid using abbreviations.
Proof read your posts before sending, so it can be possible to read it and make sense, simply click Spell Check before making a post.
Respect Vizzed members, if you're nice enough to people around Vizzed, you may get Trust Points.
Avoid spamming and flaming.
Insult a video game, game system or movie without a good and intellectual reason.
If you lose your password, don't create another account, just send an e-mail for a password recovery.
Do NOT post ads on the board, the only place you can post ads is in the Web Splurge forum.
Don't ask for a Staff position, Davideo7 (the site owner) will always reject it, the only way to become a Staff member is by sending an apply when Davideo7 announces that he is hiring new people.
Don't try to hack Vizzed, if people get you trying to hack the board, you're going to be IP banned from this site for all eternity!
Do not post porn or images containing nudity, never; Vizzed is a family friendly site, if you post these things you're also going to be IP banned permanently.
Do not feed flaming! If you find someone who is flaming, don't flame back or make it worst, simply contact a Staff member, they will come and do the appropriate actions.

TdV, means Tour de Vizzed, it's a Vizzed event that happens every 3 months, the Tour de Vizzed is about who can post best, and get a cool look for your username.

The Tour de Vizzed consists of 4 different Jerseys (for now), being them Yellow, Blue, Red and Green and 2 banners, being them the white banner and rainbow banner.

Jerseys are special details that will appear on your username if you win them, if you win a jersey, the color of the jersey(s) won will become your username background.

Banners are special details that will appear in your username if you are winning or won a Tour de Vizzed competition, if you win a banner, your username text will change, turning to either white or rainbow colored.

These are the jerseys for the Tour de Vizzed (actually, apparently the Jerseys will change soon).

Yellow Jersey: Who can post the most words during a whole day
Blue Jersey: Who can make the most posts during a whole day
Red Jersey: Who can make teh biggest post during a whole day
Green Jersey: Who can make the most posts with more than 30 words in 1 hour, if you fail to get the amount of posts you wanted, you can try again on the same day.

If you win a Jersey one day, you will 'wear' (or equip) that (these) Jersey (s) for the entire day, if you are the TdV winner of taht Jersey, you can 'wear' it for the following entire month.

These are the banners for the Tour de Vizzed.

White banner: Who are winning or won a New User Tour de Vizzed, can only be obtained when the user is a new user, like the name suggests, in order to get this banner you must have been a member of Vizzed up to 3 months.

Rainbow banner: Who are winning or won the Tour de Vizzed, can be obtained by everybody, in order to get this banner you must be winning or win a Tour de Vizzed

These things may look cool but pay attention, the moderators will be watching your movements, if you post spam, or something like that you will be DQ'ed (Disqualified), you may happen to get a Jersey, but you won't receive any points.

Just make sure you remember that if you ever need help with something or have a problem or trouble around Vizzed, make sure you click the Staff link on top of the page, from there, you can send a PM (Private Message) to the System User that fits in your kind of problem or needs. And make sure you check out the Help Center link on top of the page too, that page contains important and useful tips about Vizzed, which some of them I commented here.

Now change that sad face and replace it with a smile.
Be happy and fly high!

That's all from me, I hope you hang out on Vizzed for a long time

Hi welcome to vizzed have fun and fell free to explore.
