Hello everyone, and welcome to April 2025 SPREE DAY! Let's come together as a community and go on a posting spree together!
In order to provide more places to post, some previously closed threads have been reopened over the past week. Be sure to take a look through the forums (beyond the "New Posts" page) to see what's open!
To make this Spree Day extra special, and to add a bit of an incentive, myself, supercool22, and zanderlex have put together some prizes and rewards that can be earned by posting.
Even though it's a Tour de Vizzed month, today should be about working together, NOT about competing against one another. We should be aiming to reach a high post total as a community, rather than aiming to make more posts as individuals than other users. You'll notice that none of the prizes or rewards depend on your post total relative to others. Instead, they are about how much you contribute to the community, and about how much the community accomplishes as a whole.
For more information on prizes, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=105730
I am hosting a "Spree Day" tomorrow, April 18th. The objective is to have as many people as possible go on a posting spree together. It will be fun, and it will give Vizzed Board a nice little boost in activity.
There will be rewards available for those that participate, including Viz, Steam games, shiny Pokemon, and a surprise reward that I will reveal tomorrow.
I will make a thread and a second announcement at 12:00 am central time tomorrow with more information about how to earn these prizes.
Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions. I hope to see you all in the forums tomorrow!

The issues where the site will be really slow at loading or not load at all has been mostly resolved. It was related to the excessive bot traffic. We're still getting a lot of bot traffic but I've installed some things and configured various settings on the server to handle some of it.

Many CD Games Removed
I've removed most of the CD games from the website due to not being able to afford hosting them. For the past year, I've been taking a $400 loss on this website per a month, but now with the removal of the CD games, I should be able to get that down to $150. Still not great, but an improvement. My goal is to eventually break even.
I did keep the most popular games for the CD systems. In most cases, I kept the top 5-10%. Here's a breakdown of how many games we now have for each CD system:
3DO = 6
CDi = 18
Dreamcast = 49
PCFX = 5
PlayStation = 100
Sega CD = 25
Sega Saturn = 43
TurboGrafx CD = 40
I originally thought I'd have to remove many MAME games, but I was able to fit them all on the new server.
My wife has been pretty upset with me that this site has had a negative margin of $5000 in the past year. It's been more than 2 years now since this site was profitable. I've been trying to find solutions to keep this site alive, and I'll continue to do so. Hosting terabytes worth of games is costly, which is why the biggest games had to be removed. Removing the Retro Game Room is still not something I want to consider because I think that's the only thing that keeps this site alive. There's a lot of behind the scenes sacrifice I have to make for this site I usually don't talk about, and this definitely would be one of them.
I'm willing to add a few CD games back to the site based on requests. So if anyone has recommendations of games, feel free to suggest them in the below thread and I may get them added back.
Some DS Games Added
The removal of 3000+ CD games is a big loss for the site, so to make it up to everyone, I've added some DS games. At the moment there are 15 DS games, and I'm willing to add more. In fact, I'm willing to add up to 50 DS games total. Just keep in mind that I'm not allowed to have any DS games that Nintendo developed.
You can find the DS games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/play-ds/
If you want to see certain DS games added that you think would be popular and that aren't 1st party Nintendo games, go ahead and make your suggestions in the below thread.

I've updated the version of EmulatorJS that the site is using to the latest version. The version we had been using was outdated by about 2 years, and the emulator has had a ton of updates since.
For those of you unfamiliar with EmulatorJS, it's currently the best non-plugin option for playing games in the Retro Game Room and it supports most of the games, including many of the CD systems.
Things worth pointing out:
-Overall compatibility is greatly increased
-Games should play a lot better
-There are a ton of new features like rewind
-There's a ton of customization options now
-There are a lot more options in the menus
-The latest version lets you choose between different emulators for a game (be sure to close the page and open it up again for it to work)
Commodore 64 was made available with EmulatorJS with this update. There are also a lot of other systems that EmulatorJS supports that Vizzed doesn't currently have, but we could get them added in the future (anything that isn't CD based, since we don't have space for that).
The EmulatorJS netplay isn't working yet, but I'll work on getting that taken care of and updated soon.
I should also point out that EmulatorJS had been having issues working for some people for a few months now. This issue should be completely resolved.

2024 was definitely the least active I've ever been on the site, and I apologize for that. Life and work outside of the site got busy, and I struggled with my ambition and focus on the site and with my job as a Software Engineer. I think a lot of it stems from my inability to sleep well getting worst over the past year, possibly related to my stressful job. I really wanted to put together a tribute video for the 20 year anniversary but a combination of not having time and not wanting to be on the computer after being on the computer all day at work really destroyed that project.
A big thing that did take place for the site in 2024 was the server migration which resulted into the site being significantly faster and no longer having various issues that it was having over the past year. The server migration was actually pretty time consuming and technically isn't done (I took a long break from it).
You can find all of the awards and additional information here
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=105577
Vizzed Board turns 20 years old on December 6th, so you guys have about 2 weeks to vote for whoever you think deserves any of the awards below. Voting will end on December 5th and the awards will be given out on December 6th. There are 25 awards you can vote on, 20 user awards and 5 thread/post awards.

I'm going to be doing a server migration over the next few days. The site will be down on and off during this time.
Anything uploaded to the site after this post was made will be lost during the transfer. Content submitted to the site (posts, reviews, user accounts, etc) will not be lost. Just files will be lost during this time (like screenshots).
There are 2 reasons for the migration:
1. The site hasn't been paying for itself in quite a few months. The site fees are $450+ month, the site revenue is less than $100 a month. I'm consolidating all of the servers into a single server, and while that server is still expensive (around $260), it's a lot cheaper than the $450. The current servers include the site sever, netplay server, minecraft server, and file server.
Unfortunately, new server will not be able to contain all of the games from the Retro Game Room, as it's only a 2 TB hard drive. It'll be able to contain all of the music and cartridge based games, but the CD based games will be too large, which means most of those games will be taken down. I'll take the top 10% most popular games from each of the CD systems and those are what I'll keep.
2. The current server software is very outdated and can't be updated. Having better hardware/software will allow me to do things with the server that I've never been able to do. It also gives me the power to improve the site performance by utilizing features that prevent bot abuse.
I should also point out that the new server is 2x more powerful than the current main server, which is crazy because they're about the same price.
With all of that said, the site will perform a lot better after the migrations. I've already purchased and setup the new server, all of the files have already been migrated. The things I have left to do include:
1. Configuring the new server to match the configuration of the current
2. Figuring out what things I need to install on the new server so that nothing stops working
3. Transferring the database
4. Pointing the domain name to the new server

Vizzed MC 10 Year Anniversary on April 18th
The 10 year anniversary of the Vizzed.co Minecraft server is coming up on April 18th. We plan to host a few Minecraft events on that server on that day and possibly on days around that date as well. There are no set plans yet on what we'll be doing for the events, so if anyone has any ideas, feel free to let us know (even if it required installing new plugins, I'm willing to do that).

2023 was definitely a lower point for Vizzed. Traffic wasn't terrible, but my IT position kept me so stressed and busy throughout the year, it resulted into me being unable to invest the time into the site that I had planned. The only 2 notable updates to the site included:
-New Post Editor, which is still somewhat in development.
-Implemented Various Security and other various optimizations to the site's code.
Vizzed.com turned 20 years old earlier this year. I might still find time to make a 20 year anniversary video before the month ends, but unlikely at this point.
A lot of veterans returned to the site in 2023, which was very exciting to see. It gives me a lot of hope for 2024. Something that also excites me for 2024 is that my work schedule will be more flexible. I'll be allowed to work from home again (1 day a week) and I'll be allowed to adjust my hours so that I can work 4 days a week at my job, giving me 1 day a week where I can focus on Vizzed. For those who don't know, my weekends are set aside for my family, and after a long day of mentally exhausting programming, I don't have the brain capacity of motivation to work on Vizzed after I get home from work, so usually the only time I work on Vizzed is when I take days off (from time to time I'll do things after work or on the weekend, but it's not common).
Next year will be the 20th anniversary of Vizzed Board, and also the 10 year anniversary of the Minecraft Server. I have something special planned for both events

The RGR Plugin 2022+.msi file that we released a year ago is no longer valid. This is because the SSL certificate associated with that installer expired and I messed up a few things when I went to renew it. This is why the games in the Retro Game Room stopped working about a month ago.
We have a new installer which you can get here:
RGR Plugin 2023+.msi
You will have to uninstall the RGR Plugin 2022+ on your computer before installing that, if you have the RGR Plugin 2022+.msi installed.
To uninstall it:
- Go to Add or remove programs, which you can access by typing into your Windows search bar.
- Find RGR Plugin 2022+.msi from the list and uninstall it.
- Then go ahead and install the new RGR Plugin 2023+.msi.
For more thorough instructions on the installation process, go to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=104450
I'm hoping we wont need to have another update next year.
I want to give a HUGE thanks to supercool22 and pokemon x for their recent donations, which helped pay for this new installer.

Hey everyone, we are looking for opinions on Tour de Vizzed rules.
Can be anywhere from less strict rules to new rules.
Please refer to the thread below.
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=105086
The RGR Plugin is currently unavailable due to SSL renewal issues. It should hopefully be back up sometime between Saturday and Monday (8/5 - 8/7).
pokemon x discovered a temporary solution:
Step 1- Go here https://rgrplugin.vizzed.com:2761/
Step 2- Proceed to page despite warning if it says something about Security Certificate is expired accept anyways.
Step 3- Close page and go back to a game and it should now work again.

Vizzed.com domain turned 20 years old this month! I actually wasn't even old enough to buy the domain 20 years ago. Jake-A-Roonie bought it for me, and then the following year I turned 18 and got a debit card so that I could start paying for it.
Vizzed.com was founded 1 1/2 years before this version of the site was created, and it was founded roughly 1 year after the first Vizzed Board came to life. So the history of Vizzed has a lot of different milestones and anniversaries, but this is probably one of the biggest. Not many sites or domains last this long on the internet. It's incredible that I've been able to have a community that continues to use the site, even after all these years.
I'm still working on putting together a YouTube video. Not sure when that'll be done, maybe in a few weeks. Either way, it'll still be released before the year ends, so it'll still come out during the anniversary year (just not the year and month).
Thank you everyone for being a part of the history of Vizzed.com

I've implemented some extra security to the site. A hacker discovered a few exploits 2 months ago, and was kind enough to show me what the exploits were, and how to fix them. If you're reading this hacker, thanks again, and feel free to email me or contact me if you notice anything else.
If anyone notices any issues with the site that started occurring after this update, please let me know ASAP so that I can fix it.
Securing the Inputs
I've updated the scr
Securing the Passwords
I've updated the site's password encryption. The old was very outdated. The new one makes it so much more difficult to crack a user's password.
NOTE: User passwords will only use the new encryption after a user changes their password (and for new users). So, I highly recommend everyone update their Vizzed password at some point, if you want to ensure your account is more secure. I'll eventually make an alert that reminds each user to change their password.
HTML Cleaner
I'm utilizing HTMLPurifier for most input that involves HTML. This analyzes any HTML that gets submitted to the site, removes anything that might be potentially malicious, and also fixes the HTML if there's anything broken. Inputs that would utilize this include Posts, various profile editing, etc.
This also allowed me to eliminate the z tags that sometimes get placed into various thread titles, posts and other sections of the site.

It's time to elect the 2 users who will be admins of the site in 2020 from July - December. You can vote for 2 Admins. They're listed below, click them to see their application:
Allysa8th
SonicOlmstead
deggle
Here's how this works
Respond to this thread with up to 2 users you think would do a great job. The more users you choose, the less weight your votes have. So if you feel really strongly about someone, then vote for just 1 user.
Here's what determines the weight of your vote
The weight of a vote depends on the user and how many votes that user makes. Users who have a high rank, been around for a long time, and have a high post count, will have a vote with more weight. This is fair because those users should have a bigger impact on the results since they're more familiar with the community and have a higher reputation compared to someone who just registered with the single purpose of altering the results.
Here's the formula for figuring out the weight of your vote:
User Level * Power Level
And if you have multiple votes, it'd look like this:
(User Level * Power Level) / Vote Count
The User Levels can be viewed from their profile and also next to their posts to the left. A User Level is based on how long a user has been here and how many posts they have.
Here's the numbers that represent each Power Level:
0 = Newbie
1 = Normal
2 = Trusted
3 = Elite
4 = Site Staff
5 = Local Mod
6 = Global Mod
Rules
-Can't vote for yourself
-Can't vote for more than 2 people
-Posts with negative ratings will be investigated and potentially ignored
Voting ends on Monday, January 2nd.
Be sure to submit your votes to this thread:

2022 saw a pretty big decline in my activity due to various health problems I've experienced over the past year, and also due to my IT job consuming a lot of my time and mind. In order to get a lot accomplished on the site, I pretty much had to take time off from work. 2022 was the least active I've been in over 15 years
With that being said, I did accomplish a few things, which includes:
-Launched an RGR Plugin
-
-Began Development on a New RGR Experience for mobile devices and game consoles, which will hopefully launch in January of 2023
-Introduced EmulatorJS (browser emulation) to the RGR, which supports more systems, supports netplay, and works better for some people for some game systems
-Fixed various bugs and issues throughout the site
Although this site is turning 18 years old, Vizzed has been around a lot longer. There were 2 previous Vizzed Boards, the first starting in late 2002. But the anniversary that I find more significant, which is coming in just a few months, is the 20 year anniversary of Vizzed.com! Vizzed.com was founded on March 3rd, 2003. I plan to put together an anniversary video of some sort, similar to this one, but with more emphasis on the site itself, and with more stats and graphs, and maybe with more of a narrative. If anyone is interested in making a cameo in that video, be sure to let me know
You can find all of the awards and additional information here
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=104519
Vizzed Board turns 18 years old on December 6th, so you guys have a little more than 2 weeks to vote for whoever you think deserves any of the awards below. Voting will end on December 5th and the awards will be given out on December 6th. There are 25 awards you can vote on, 20 user awards and 5 thread/post awards.

You can now use the RGR Plugin again as you could in the past. All you need to do is download this new installer (RGR Plugin 2022+
Instructions
The RGR Plugin is no longer supported with modern browsers, so that's why you need to install both the RGR Plugin and the RGR Plugin 2022+
1. Download and Install the RGR Plugin
If you don't already have it installed, download and install it:
VizzedRgrPlugin-2.41.msi
2. Download and Install the RGR Plugin 2022+
After you've installed the RGR Plugin, download and install this:
RGR Plugin 2022+.msi
Note: The installer might get flagged for not being secure, and that's only because it's new and hasn't been installed on many computers yet, so it might give a warning due to not having any information about it. If a windows security window comes up, just click More Info and from there, you can choose to install it anyway.
Note 2: Do not
3. Restart Your Computer
You'll need to restart your computer after you've installed the RGR Plugin and RGR Plugin 2022
That's it! Go and enjoy playing any of the 40,000+ retro games in the Retro Game Room. All of the RGR Plugin related features should work.
I apologize that it took so long to get this
I also want to thank everyone that donated toward this 1 1/2 years ago. There was a lot of financial support, and I couldn't have been more grateful for all of that

For the past few days, there was an SSL issue with playing some games for some browsers. This issue is resolved.
All SSL related issues have been resolved and the updating of the SSL certificates for all Vizzed domains is complete.
I'll be updating the site's SSL Certificate today, so there might be some downtime.

Competition
Build the best "anything" in the Clohygeous. The portal to the world can be found in the hub. Everyone has full Creative powers and flying abilities in that world. You can present your submission in the form of a video (which you should upload to YouTube) or screenshots (which you may upload to Vizzed).
Vizzed Minecraft Server IP:
Vizzed.co
Rules
-Up to 5 submissions per a user (this also includes structures you've teamed up on)
-Minecraft Staff may compete and I may compete
-Please separate your submissions with 1 submission per a post
-You may work with others on a submission (you'll then split the earnings)
-No command blocks
-When showing off your submission, you cannot use any resource packs (but you may use shaders)
Prizes
1st = US $50 or 100K Viz
2nd = US $25 or 50K Viz

In other words, no matter what, I'll be handing out $75 worth of prizes to Vizzed users that are not me or my kids (unless those Vizzed users choose Viz instead of a cash prize).
Additional Prizes
Minecraft Competition Winners will get a trophy added to their profile (which they'll eventually be able to display and show off), they'll get added to the Hall of Fame page and they'll also have a Minecraft Trophy icon next to their name until the next Minecraft competition (as a way to show that they're the reigning champion).

My development time is very limited these days, so I figured this might be a good opportunity to open up the doors for a few users with PHP skills to help develop stuff for Vizzed. Users will be given limited access to the site functions and variables, but they'd be free to create mostly whatever they want.
You would do your coding right here on the site and I'd even give you your own database. Here's a preview of what the PHP Developer Center looks like
Please note, you would not get paid for doing this. This is just for users who want to help out the site or want to utilize / expand their PHP skills. You wouldn't get access to the actual site's code, but you would get access to a lot of useful variables. You also wouldn't get access to the site's main database but you'd be given your own database. These restrictions are to prevent any accidental or intentional harm to the site.
Features include:
-Access to over 30 variables, which include name of the logged in user, details of the logged in user, page information, and more!
-Supports Javascr
-The ability to collaborate with other "qualified" users
-Full customization over your pages, including the ability to change the page name, descr
-Full stats about your pages, including page views, who viewed it, full logs, who is currently on it, etc.
-Earn Viz and CP when your pages are used
-Your own database
-And lots more
Requirements:
-Must be an Elite Users or a Trusted User who has been on the site for over 5 years and has at least 1000 posts
-Must have decent PHP skills (please provide examples of things you've done)
-Tell me what ideas you might have and why you would like to be a PHP developer on Vizzed
There's a limited number of users that I'm willing to promote to PHP Developer, so be sure to apply right away if you're interested.

Something I've wanted to do for a while now is change the color scheme of the site. Keep in mind, I'm not talking about the layout of the site, that'd be too much work. I'm talking about the colors used throughout the site and the background images.
I've made attempts in the past to modernize the look of the site but I've always had users fight back. I think now is the time to do it though since the site needs to have a more visual appeal to new people. The current theme would always be available as a
As far as the color scheme goes, what are complaints that you or others might have about it? What are you suggestions? I know a common complaint is that the site is sometimes hard on a user's eyes and I'm not sure if it's because it's light on dark or if it's the greens contrasting with the blues. Either way, any feedback would be great.
Here's something I've been working on. Let me know if this is any better or if you have any suggestions to it:
Vizzed 2022 Theme
With that new theme, the background color is actually not part of the background image, allowing me to easily change the color (or perhaps dynamically, similar to what was seen in the 2022 April Fools prank).

Vizzed went down over 2 days ago for unplanned reasons. I had contacted Hostgator and they said it would take up to 48 hours for the server to be brought back online. Here's what they had to say:
"It would appear that your server encountered an issue when it was rebooted due to the newest kernel installed being corrupt. I was able to get the server back online by booting into the older kernel installed on the server, then reinstalling the new kernel.
The server is now running and the services all appear to be running with out any issues. This issue you encountered is not a common thing, and just a random failures that can happen rarely."

2021 has been a decent year for Vizzed as far as traffic goes. Vizzed has had a 20% traffic increase in the past year.
And even though my activity dropped in the final months of 2021 on the site (due to me getting an IT job), I managed to fix quite a few bugs and issues throughout the site and even

Vizzed also saw a semi-discontinuation of the RGR Plugin due to Flash being discontinued in all major browsers. I had started a fundraiser to help fund an
Something else that happened in 2021, which was an unexpected surprise, was the resurgence of the Vizzed.co Minecraft Server. Somehow the MC Server saw periods of high activity throughout the year, almost matching the prime days of the MC server. HUGE thanks to the MC Staff for helping take care of the increase MC traffic.
So I’ve been MIA in the past 4 months due to my IT job, as mentioned already. However, I’m slowly getting back more free time as the high demand of my job slowly decreases. I’ve been averaging 50 hours a week at my job, sometimes a little over 60 hours a week, but I’m slowly taking that down to around 45 hours a week.
I’m hoping to make 2022 the year of tournaments, events, competitions, etc. I’ll be streaming again with users and also putting together community based YouTube videos. Maybe we’ll see the return of past events, we’ll definitely see the return of real prizes, and if all goes well, we’ll get plenty of participation.

The factory I've been working at for the past nearly 5 years recently opened up a couple of IT positions and I got one, and I start this week. I had only ever planned on being at this place for a year since that's how long I thought it'd take for the site to pick back up enough for me to generate a full time income from the site again. That of course never happened and 4+ years later I'm still at the same place. More recently I was doing some job searching and considering just pursuing a career that wasn't Vizzed and not long after this place opened up those 2 IT positions, which is something I was hoping they'd do for as long as I've been there.
The place I work at is in town and I've been working weekend shifts this entire time. This allowed me to focus on Vizzed during the weekend and also allowed me to be at home with my kids while they're home schooled or out of school during summer break (I'll be sending them back to public school most likely though). I've got a lot of anxiety in general and driving into an over populated city, which is where all the jobs are nearby (Twin Cities to be exact), just wasn't something I wanted to do so it's awesome that I'll be able to finally be utilized where I work.
The reason they finally opened up IT positions was because a company bought out the company I work for and so the IT guys from the company that previous owned us left and now the new company needs a new team. It's a Taiwanese company and our place makes circuit boards and this is their first factory in the US. They basically want a fresh start on everything and this gives me the opportunity to bring to life all of the ideas and visions I had for the place (those ideas being shot down in the past due to me not having a title worthy to do such tasks). I'll basically be in charge of everything software related. It's going to offer me a lot of opportunity to not only utilize and keep fresh the skills I have but also allow me to further develop those skills.
Anyways, here's how this affects Vizzed. I'll be working more hours than before and I'll also be working primarily during the week. I haven't had weekends off with my family in almost 5 years so I'm excited to have that with them. Because of this, I'll be doing very little development during the weekend and I'll be doing very little development during the week. They're going to allow me to have a very flexible schedule so I'm going to try and have it so that I have 1 day off during the week with that day being the day I work on Vizzed, which will hopefully be Mondays.
In other words, I'll be spending and investing less time on the site. Earlier in the year I was averaging around 25-30 hours on the site, lately I've been investing on average of 20 hours. Now I'll probably be investing 10 hours into the site so I have to make that time count (some weeks might be more). Thankfully I have an awesome staff so they'll definitely save me a lot of time which will help me focus on things that only I can take care of. If the site ever picks back up again, and enough to generate a full time income, I would for sure quit my job and focus primary on Vizzed again but until that happens, I'll have to just deal with spending 10+ hours on the site a week.
There are 2 positives that come out of this at least.
I'll be obtaining skills potentially beneficial to the site which might give me an opportunity to do things on the site or for the site that I wasn't capable of before (you know, maybe I'll develop the skills to make my own RGR Plugin or to be able to work on the current).
The other positive (kind of 2 actually) is that I'll be making more money at my job and this means I'll have a budget to host competitions again with cash prizes (not as big of a budget as in the past but a budget none the less). I eventually stopped hosting competitions due to the lack of participation and the lack of participation was a combination of less traffic on the site (and therefore less interest) and no longer having the budget for cash prizes. So I'll definitely be hosting competitions more often. Having a budget again also means I can invest money into various scr

Since I've been doing SEO lately, it caused a surge in bot traffic. That bot traffic overwhelmed my logging system which caused some pages of the site and some features to just not work.

Some videos will have cash prizes for the first person to get all of the games named correctly (or the person to get the most named correctly when the answered are revealed). I'm hoping to do at least 1 video a week.
Here's our first video:

Many of you wanted me to revive the Vizzed YouTube Channel and bring back video uploading. I'm working on the uploading part still but I've already invested many hours reorganizing the Vizzed Gameplay Videos Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/vizzed
The channel has nearly 15,000 videos so there was a lot to go through. I completely reorganized the front page of the channel. I plan to create a trailer for the channel in the upcoming weeks and I also plan to create a new banner. The channel also has nearly 15,000 subscribers which is far more than any of my other channels so I took the advice of a few users and decided to monetize the videos (should help me generate an extra US $200 a month that I can put toward the site).
I created a playlist for every game system that we had videos for and placed all of the videos into their proper game system playlist. This lets you navigate videos based on game system now. You should be able to find the game system playlists on the main page and you can also find them here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj85xyNqxw9INbLDfFI3Kqg/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=5
I also created a few extra "special" playlists.
Netplay
Some of my most memorable memories on this site involved netplay. I had so many amazing times streaming + netplaying with users. So I had to create a playlist with the videos showcasing the netplay on Vizzed (some have commentary and some are archived streams), which I've always viewed as being one of the most innovative features in the RGR:

Vizzed.co Minecraft Server
The Vizzed minecraft server has had a huge impact on so many users of this site. It was a community of its own and many of us recorded various events that took place on that server, specifically the many competitions I hosted. Although the server is still up, it's not nearly as popular as it was in its prime but having this content available can help put into perspective how awesome that community was at its prime, and maybe going through this will make some MC veterans want to come back on to the server:

Most of the Nintendo NES games didn't work with the HTML5 emulators. They worked fine with the RGR Plugin but more and more users are using the browser emulation, especially since the RGR Plugin requires a few extra steps to use now days.
NES was the first system to be added to the Retro Game Room (it was called the NES Game Room at that time) and that was 13+ years ago. The games that we used back then weren't the best copies of the games and better copies of the games have been made available on the internet since.
I spent almost a full day going through and fixing them all. I hated to have to prioritize this over all other things but it needed to be done. Most of them should now work fine but if they don't, be sure to let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=103691
EDIT: I should've pointed out how many NES games we have on vizzed: 3,447. And I fixed over 2000 of them! (keep in mind that not all of them were broke). Honestly, that was incredibly boring but I stayed pretty focused and did almost nothing else that entire time. Feels good to have that taken care of
Ever since starting a full time job outside of Vizzed nearly 5 years ago, I haven't been able to prioritize reading / responding to my Private Messages. Even before that, I often got behind on my PMs. So as you can imagine, I have years worth of PMs to read and respond to, totalling literally 1000s of PMs. I've usually made it a habit of skimming through my PM inbox and reading the PMs which have titles that seem important but sometimes I've even failed to do that.
While I'm going through my inbox, I will respond to any Private Messages that I receive during this process. My goal is to get caught up by summer 2021 (before it ends anyway). Afterward, I'll begin working on my Notifications. I hope to be caught up with everyone before the year ends. I feel terrible that it's taken me this long but I've been the only developer for many years and development related stuff is time consuming and things have come up so often over the years that I have no other choice but to prioritize coding. Life outside the internet also sometimes gets in the way with various life issues coming up from time to time. And with having a wife and kids, there's only so much time in a week to juggle all of these things (for example, I rarely game and haven't done much gaming in the past 6+ years due to just not having the time).

My Low Activity
A few weeks ago I injured my thumb and the surrounding area on my hand. This had made it difficult to use a computer and after seeing a doctor, avoiding video games and computers was necessary in order for it to heal faster. This is why I haven't made many posts lately and also why I haven't been doing very much coding lately. My hand and thumb is making progress and I expect to increase my time on the site next week and should be back to normal the following week.

Tom is having some difficulties with the RGR Plugin. These delays are completely out of my control and I apologize for them.
Here's his latest message to me:
"Sorry I've been lagging. Still feeling overwhelmed. I've done some more work, but I'm worried I should change approach how I do the code.
I was going to use a program called Websockify to help get this all working, but I'm bummed it gets detected as a virus by AVG and probably other antivirus programs. The AVG popup lets you add an exception to allow it to work, but I worry to instruct your users to do this for all common antivirus software isn't acceptable and I need to do the code without Websockify. I'm thinking the code I have in mind will work decent enough, but it's polling based instead of event based and it may lag a little bit like with the loading progress bar.
What do you think? Is the antivirus exception rule unacceptable?"
I had replied and suggested that maybe we embed Firefox version 42 (specifically, the portable version) into the plugin so that when someone plays a game, the game opens up in a window within that version of Firefox since that version of Firefox supports NPAPI, one of the technologies that can help make the RGR Plugin work.
In the mean time, you guys can use FireFox Portable 42 to play the RGR Plugin. It requires no installation. You can get it here:

RetroArch Fixes
I've fixed a few issues that affected some of the games. I also did a few cosmetic
All games that had an apostrophe in their name (and probably other various special characters) didn't load at all. This issue has been fixed. I honestly didn't know of this until earlier today.
The other issue that has been fixed is the 'Play Game' button. Only half of it was clickable and in some cases, it wasn't clickable at all. This has also been fixed.
RetroArch
I added the 'GearBoy' core for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. It's nice having more cores available to choose from since different cores run better for different devices.
I also added the option to 'Play with Slow Device Settings' and to 'Play with Fast Device Settings'. Great for those who have a computer that's less powerful or more powerful than average.
EmulatorJS has
EmulatorJS has less ads (these are both hosted on external websites, not my own) and seems to play better on more devices (nes games work on Xbox One, more on that later).
Added 'Genesis Plus GX Wide' Core
I added a new core for Sega Genesis games that allow you to play the games in true wide screen. It plays the games 20% wider without stretching the screen by simply showing more of the game. It doesn't work very good with some games but for the ones that it does work with, they play great. I put together a video showcasing the new RetroArch core and how to use it on Vizzed:

Keep this in mind, the person I hire could potentially drop out of the project, resulting into me having to go through the hiring process again. Those types of things happen often when dealing with freelance developers online. They go into a job super ambitious, only to find out that they're not qualified or lack the motivation.

After hours of investigating, it should be possible to get the RGR Plugin
The RGR Plugin launched in 2010 and I've invested nearly $15,000 into the RGR Plugin. It'd be very depressing to see the plugin which revolutionized browser emulation come to an end. The RGR Plugin has been used by 100,000 of people worldwide, possibly even a million.
Please help us keep the memories of these 40,000+ games in the RGR alive. Help us to continue preserving these games by donating any amount that you can. All we need is around $500 and then we could get the RGR Plugin
Donation Perks
$25+ = Your Own Rented Forum
$50+ = 2 Hours of My Time
$50+ = Permanently promoted to Vizzed Elite
$100+ = 1 announcement promoting whatever you want
$100+ = Custom Username Color (first 3 users can claim this)
$250 = Completely Customized Username and Style (first 2 users can claim this)

The RGR Plugin use to rely on NPAPI to play in the web browser but eventually NPAPI was discontinued by all internet browsers so that's why we started using Flash technology with the RGR Plugin. The Plugin still supports NPAPI though and if someone were to use an older outdated internet browser, they could still use the RGR Plugin. This is the only work around that I have until a better solution is found. More information on NPAPI and the browser versions that support it here:

I finally "mostly" finished the LEGO Home Alone house that I started building 3 years ago in LEGO Worlds. It became an annual tradition for me to invest 40+ hours into it every Christmas season. The Home Alone house is very complex (both the inside and out) and since the house has been greatly changed in the past 30 years, I couldn't rely on modern pictures or tours as a reference so I had to thoroughly analyze every scene from the movie.
This might be one of the most accurate replicas of the Home Alone house, or at least I couldn't find any on the internet more accurate. I recreated a few scenes from the movie to showcase the exterior and interior. Enjoy

I’m a day late at posting this. Yesterday was the 16 year anniversary of Vizzed Board but I wasn’t able to get to this due to a combination of being stuck at work all day (I do 12 hour shifts on the weekend) and then getting home and being dead tired.
2020 has been a crazy year for every single person in the world. It’s also been one of the worst years in recent history for the world. However, for Vizzed, it was not a bad year. Traffic stayed consistent compared to last year (with 2019 having a significant boost compared to 2018), I got a lot of site issues fixed and also added many must needed features. I was also able to find ways to cut server costs by almost half without sacrificing anything, which resulted into many of the games downloading so much faster.
I should point out that Vizzed had a rough start to 2020 though. At the beginning of the year back in early March, most of the site’s database data was accidentally
As mentioned multiple times already, Vizzed had a lot of site fixes and improvements made. I wanted 2020 to be the year that I focused on fixing things (and replacing the RGR Plugin) so one of the first things I started with was the site’s layout. I had greatly improved the site’s layout to make it more responsive by making it so that the site can adapt to almost any browser size and device type. My personal favorite enhancement, which was so big it was practically its own new feature, was the Complete Revamping of the Video Game Music Room. Other fixes and improvements included:
-Vizzed.co Minecraft Server Fixed and Upgraded
-Some Old Post Layouts Getting Fixed
-Old Page Comments Got Restored
-Profile and Page Editing Issues Fixed
-Memberlist Search
-Rebuilt a lot of the site’s logging system, which most of you don’t see but it adds better site security and makes content restoration easier
-Enhanced the load speeds of most pages on the site
-Fixed countless errors and bugs throughout the site
-Too many other things to mention here
There were a lot of features that the site needed or had but were severely outdated. One of the big ones was the new Image Uploader / Photo Album feature. Another new feature I started working on but haven’t finished yet (haven’t even posted about yet but will in the near future once finished) is a “page details” feature which not only shows lots of useful information about every page on the site, but also allows you to rate and bookmark any page on the site. Other new features included:
-Game Queue and Game History
-Video Game Characters Features Rebuilt from Ground Up
-A few site features for the Minecraft server, which are still in development but will soon be finished
2020 is also seeing the end of the RGR Plugin. The RGR Plugin relies on Flash technology but as of December 31st 2020, Flash will be discontinued in almost all web browsers. There’s still a possibility of a new plugin for the site that
For the remainder of 2020, one of my goals is to get the remaining site pages that use the old site code/layout upgraded to the new site code and there’s really not many left. My focus in 2021 will be the community (I know that was suppose to be my focus for 2020, sorry ?) and replacing the RGR Plugin.

EX Palen will be the new Site/VGR/RGR Admin of Vizzed, replacing tRIUNE. tRIUNE had this title for over a decade and so of course it's sad to see tRIUNE finally step down, because he did a lot for the site and especially during the peak years of Vizzed. Overall I would say that tRIUNE has done more for the site than anyone else in the history of Vizzed (not including me of course).
This decision to promote EX Palen to this role was a decision made between the admins, the global mods and myself. This doesn't make him 2nd in command but it does make him equal to the other admins, who I guess all share the title of being 2nd in command. He'll be overseeing the Retro Game Room, the Video Game Room and will be in charge of the staff who help out with those areas of the site.

Most users might not be aware that most of the games in the Retro Game Room are playable on mobile devices. A while back I had created my own touch game pad that appears on your phone/tablet when you choose to play the games on a mobile device but you're also not limited to just using the touch screen for gaming, you can sync a controller to your phone/tablet and use that as well. Of course the games work in almost all internet browsers on a desktop so be sure to check it out if you haven't ever done so:

I also changed the way games play on Vizzed. For the RGR Plugin games, they popup in a window just like they use to years ago, so no more opening up in a new window. For all the other forms of emulation, they also now open up in a popup window but at a bigger scale.
I did a few other things here and there with the way games are played on the site so if you notice any problems that might be the result of this

After the server migration from a few months ago, some of the games for the Nintendo NES, Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 stopped working. Nearly 50% of the Nintendo NES games didn't get migrated properly, 30% of the Atari 2600 games didn't get migrated properly, and well over 60% of the Commodore 64 games didn't get migrated properly.
All of the missing games have been restored. If you have any questions or feedback, respond to this thread:

The Vizzed Minecraft server was recently upgraded to a new and far better server. This new server is a lot faster and has far less issues. I also invested a good amount of time fixing just about everything that was wrong with the server, including those occasional lag spikes and random server crashes.
Here's the address to use for joining our MC server:
Vizzed.co
You can find all information regarding our server, along with many site to server features, here:

I put together a video showcasing the Vizzed Ville world of our server as a way to promote our 3rd Ground Opening

The Video Game Music Room has been completely revamped! It was basically rebuilt from the ground up, although I did reuse some of the code to save time. I put about 150 hours into it over the past 2-3 months so there's a lot to talk about.
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/
The Video Game Music Room has always been one of the biggest overlooked features of the site. Although it makes up about 8% of the site's traffic, that number could be much higher when you consider everything that it offers. I honestly view it as the best place on the internet to listen to video game music (it has nearly 200,000 songs), especially now with this massive upgrade. There's a lot to cover so I'll save some of it for a video at some point showcasing everything but I'll highlight some of the biggest features.
All New Layout
I made it super easy to navigate. Every page shows you the Video Game Room Statistics, because those are the biggest highlights of the feature (nearly 200,000 songs, 10,000+ games, 40 systems...definitely worth showing off). Next to the statistics, you'll also find on every page the song search, loaded with features (more about those below). And since I gave the Video Game Music Room its own directory and broke it up into multiple pages, I made it so that the banner changes depending on what section you're on, so that you don't get lost. And speaking of new banners...
All New Theme
I not only gave it an all new layout, but also an all new look. And also completely changed the banner. I never really liked the old banner much since it was the lowest priority when I originally made the VGMR. In fact, all of the cosmetics were pretty low on the list back then since that's time consuming and wanted to put most of my focus on programming and music adding. Now that I got to dedicate more time into the look and feel of VGMR, I had fun with it and changed up a lot of stuff. Color scheme is a bit different, the background is similar but also different, and it's overall utilizing more visuals since that's what people tend to be drawn to.
New Search Engine
So the song search is complicating at first but if all you want to do is search by song name, game name, artist, then all you have to do is worth about the top row. Now if you really want to narrow down your searching, you can search for songs based on just about anything, and also order the results in various ways, depending on the search parameters. Not only did I add tons of new ways to search, but the overall results are far better and more relevant.
Here are all of the search options (bold are what's new):
Song Name, Game Name, Game ID, Song Artist, Publisher / Developer, User ID, Playlist ID, System, Keyword, Format (console, handheld, etc), Media (cartridge, CD, etc), Generation, Genre, Bits, Duration and Rating.
New Song Player
I purchased a completely new scr
The player itself floats at the bottom or top of the page, letting you navigate the page while still having quick access to the player. In bigger browsers, such as a PC, the player floats at the bottom. On a smaller screen, such as a mobile device, the player floats at the top (and it's at the top because there's an ad that floats at the bottom already). The player also shows an audio wave of the song being played, and that can help visualize the song and know where to skip to if you like to skip around in a song.
The main song player playlist offers basic but clean information and relies on graphics for navigation. The son player has a 2nd playlist navigator right below the main one, which is graphicless but offers a lot more details in a vertical format (keep in mind that you can play the song by clicking the track number to the left). By offering 2 ways to navigate the music on a page, I feel like it's a good way to please users of all preferences.
Daily Song Recommendations
As long as you've rated songs, the index page of the site will show recommended songs based on the songs you've rated. Each day you visit the Video Game Music Room, this list will be
This is how it recommends music. It takes all of the songs you've rated a 4 or 5, then it finds all users who have also rated those same songs a 4 or 5 and finds all songs that they have all rated and takes the songs that were most commonly rated high among all of those users. It's kind of a strenuous scr
Games Page
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/game.php
The Games Page lets you browse through all of the games that have music available. You can order the music based on Name, most Songs, total Duration, Average Rating, and Score (which is basically like popularity). You can also
Systems Page
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/system.php
The Systems Page lets you see a list of all of the available systems. It provides some really useful information for each system, including total Soundtracks (games), Total Songs, Total Duration, Average Song Duration, Average Song Rating, and Popularity.
If you click a system, then you can browse through the soundtracks based on the
Playlists Page
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/playlist.php
The Playlist Page lets you browse through user created playlists and also lets you create your own.
Keep in mind that when you create your own playlist, you then have access to giving your playlist its very own look. You also get lots of fun details which view count, view count today, number of unique users who have viewed your playlist, and info on the last user to view it.
Users Page
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/user.php
The Users Page lets you see a list of all users who have rated songs. It's in order of who has given out the most ratings by default but you can also order it based on Name, Average Rating, and Last Rating.
If you click a user, you'll be presented with a list of every song that user has rated and also a list of all the playlists they've created.
Song Pages
Last new page type to talk about is the actual song pages. The song page provides details on whatever song you're viewing and its the song pages from where you can add songs to a playlist and is also where you can rate a song.
One of the most exciting new features for the entire VGMR is the similar/recommended songs feature. Every song page will have a list of songs that are similar and recommended. It first grabs around 15 songs that are similar and it figures this out based on song name, game name, artist, system and keywords. The next 10 songs are recommended songs and these are recommended based on songs that users have also rated a 4 or 5. So the recommended songs on a song's page basically returns songs that you might also like if you like that specific song.
here's an example of all this in action:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/song.php?id=2315
More Mobile Friendliness
The previous VGMR was mobile friendly but only to a certain extent and that's because it was created back when I was creating the new site code/layout years ago which means that since it was one of the first features to be created with that code, it didn't fully utilize all of the features that eventually would come. The new VGMR adapts to pretty much any browser width and height.
Conclusion
That was a lot to cover and that wasn't even everything. It's best for you guys to all just try it out for yourself and discover everything the Video Game Music Room has to offer. I highly encourage everyone to rate music that they like, this helps organize the music in the VGMR better and also helps the site give you a more personalized experience.

The file migration that started a few weeks ago is finally complete. All game downloads should now be faster than they were in the past and this includes CD systems, which are now blazing fast!
I recently got rid of one of my servers and
This site has about 3 TB worth of games so that makes it difficult to get monthly costs down and it also makes server transfers time consuming but having that all finished is great! And getting the download speeds of the games to be way faster than they were in the past is a massive bonus. Some of the large games for the CD systems use to take quite a while to download since they are very large in file size but now they download pretty quickly, assuming you have a good internet connection.
I also had some games on my primary server that I also transferred to the new servers which freed me up space on the primary server which means we'll now have more space to upload more music to the Video Game Music Room, which I'll probably start working on later this month.
If you have any questions, feedback or want to confirm to us all that the files are indeed faster to download, let us know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=103263
Some of you that logged on to the site today may have been given a security warning in your browser. This happened because the site's SSL Certificate expired. I renewed it and now things should be back to normal. Sorry for the scare.

All of the games in the Retro Game Room should be back up and working except the following:
-Dreamcast (75% complete)
-PlayStation (50% complete)
-Sega Saturn (0% complete)
-TurboGrafx CD (0% complete)
Games are being uploaded in alphabetical order. I'm also doing the systems in the order listed above (except I'm skipping the remaining PS1 games until I get all other systems uploaded since it's a very large collection of games).
Games should be far quicker to load with the new file host (more on this once I make an official announcement/thread after migration is complete) and it'll cut my costs greatly so this migration was necessary and worth it. The migration should be complete sometime next week.
Thanks for everyone's patience.
The cartridge games in the Retro Game Room should all be back up now. Most of the disc games are still down and will be down for another few days, possibly up to a week. I'll make another announcement when everything is back up.
I'm in the process of doing a server migration for Retro Game Room files. Most of the games in the Retro Game Room will be unavailable for the next 24-48 hours. I'll make another announcement once the migration is complete.
I put together a suite of new features for uploading, managing and viewing pictures. It's available to all users and can be found in the Developer Center.
We've had a Photo Album that was created years ago but it was outdated and using the old site code and format. I made sure to include all features in the previous photo album and I also made sure to migrate all of the photos to the new system.
Before I go over the available features, I wanted to quickly point out that the images and albums can be embedded to any page that your a staff or admin of (forums that you moderate, your threads, your profile, etc). To do this, go to the page you want to add an Image or Album to and at the top of that page click the 'Add Content' at the top of the page and from the '
https://www.vizzed.com/u/test.php
User Images
All displayed images not only show title, user, date and thumbnail but they'll also show image view count and number of comments. It makes browsing through 100s of images far more enjoyable.
There's a lot of options available for sorting through images. You can order the images based on Name, Size, View Count, Date, etc. You can filter the images based on Type and Category You can do a text search which returns all images with matching titles and keywords
Image Uploader / Editor
You can upload images as large as 500 KB and all uploaded images will have a small thumbnail generated. The uploaded image page will provide you with image specs and also HTML and Forum codes that you can copy for easy pasting.
There are a few options available when uploading and editing:
-Image Type lets you choose where the image will be used on the site
-Image Category lets you add your very own category which will help you and others filter through images
-Image Privacy lets you choose who can view your image. Public means it'll appear in the search results, Unlisted means it'll not appear in the search results (can only be viewed with direct link) and Private means that only you can view it (or anyone you add as an Admin to your image page)
-Unique lets you specify whether this is something created by you or not
-Keywords (only available after uploading) let you add keywords to your image that makes your image appear when that specified keyword is used in the search engine
The image pages let users leave comments on images and also offers additional details of the image such as how many people have seen the image, how many unique users, the last user to view it, upload date, the last time the details of the page were

User Albums
This simply displays all of the albums created by users and also offers a few filter and search functions.
Album Creator / Editor
Anyone can create their own album but you can only add images that you uploaded (or are admin of) to the album you created. The albums have a few options available that work the same as the Image Uploader / Editor, which include Category and Privacy. It also has an option which lets you choose the order the images get displayed in.
Work on Albums Together
After you've created an album, you can make someone an staff/admin of the album so that they can also add their uploaded images to your album. To make someone a staff/admin of your album, click the 'Edit Page' link at the top of the page and add their name into the 'Add Mod' section.

This more than likely will be the very last netplay tournament that I can host due to Flash being discontinued (the RGR Plugin requires flash). I'm hoping to have 1 last netplay tournament.
The scheduling in this tournament is very flexible and can work around just about any schedule. Users have control over which games they play each week.
To join, or for more information, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=103132
This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. I haven't been able to host this competition in a few years now due to lack of interest. Since this might be the last netplay tournament, I'm really hoping we get enough users involved.
Results of previous years:
Summer 2017: Triple Trouble Win
Summer 2016: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2015: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Win
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win
This tournament will last for 6-10 weeks, 4-6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 2-4 of those weeks being playoff weeks (all depends on how many users sign up). The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to
NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. Also, the games of this tournament will be available to everyone while the tournament is active.
The games that this tournament will include (some of these might change):
Mixed System:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Wit's (NES) *
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Final Match Tennis (TG)
-Motoroader (TGCD) ?
Super Nintendo:
-Vs. Collection
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament

PlayStation:
-Micro Machines V3
-Shaolin
-Crash Team Racing ?
-Crash Bash ?
-Micro Maniacs ?
*Games added to tournament for first time this year
If you know of a good 2 vs 2 game, please recommend it and I'll see about getting it added!
Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet.
The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.
Requirements
-You should preferably live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable

Trophy Award
Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
Penalty
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, July 13th.

Here's how this works
Respond to this thread with up to 2 users you think would do a great job. The more users you choose, the less weight your votes have. So if you feel really strongly about someone, then vote for just 1 user.
Here's what determines the weight of your vote
The weight of a vote depends on the user and how many votes that user makes. Users who have a high rank, been around for a long time, and have a high post count, will have a vote with more weight. This is fair because those users should have a bigger impact on the results since they're more familiar with the community and have a higher reputation compared to someone who just registered with the single purpose of altering the results.
Here's the formula for figuring out the weight of your vote:
User Level * Power Level
And if you have multiple votes, it'd look like this:
(User Level * Power Level) / Vote Count
The User Levels can be viewed from their profile and also next to their posts to the left. A User Level is based on how long a user has been here and how many posts they have.
Here's the numbers that represent each Power Level:
0 = Newbie
1 = Normal
2 = Trusted
3 = Elite
4 = Site Staff
5 = Local Mod
6 = Global Mod
Rules
-Can't vote for yourself
-Can't vote for more than 2 people
-Posts with negative ratings will be investigated and potentially ignored
Voting ends on Thursday, July 2nd.

I've been spending the past few weeks making the site more adaptive so that everyone has the same site experience and features no matter what device they're on. Instead of spending a bunch of time trying to explain how responsive the new layout is, I've made a video to demonstrate it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1qOJOJjv8s
Things added or
-Site adapts to almost every screen size
-Users on mobile devices now have access to far more content now
-The size of the generated HTML of the pages is a little smaller, allowing for quicker page loads
-Site users less Javascr
-Site can be shrunk down to a width of 250 pixels
-Messages Center takes up less space
-Site reserves more space for showing who is on a page and the users with less posts take up less space
-Vizzed GO box takes up a lot less space now
-Rearranged some ads
-Enhanced the appearances of various elements on the site and with the way some things are displayed
Things fixed:
-Some old post layouts have been fixed
-Added a ? icon to the header links which allows you to access links that would sometimes get cut off due to lack of space
-Information and Navigation Columns no longer exceed the vertical height of browsers that aren't very tall (they receive scroll bars instead of being cut off)
-Navigation Column also received scroll bar if there are too many links and the links exceed the height of the Navigation Column (especially good for staff, who have access to a lot of links)
-Fixed an issue with the HTML5 RetroArch emulator where the game fails to load on the first attempt
-Some posts couldn't be editted, this issue is fixed
-For posts that have been edited, the previous post box didn't display what the previous post's contents looked like, this is fixed
What sparked this series of

Hello all,
I realize that the previous announcement had a bad link, and was also ill-timed. I'm making another announcement to remind everyone that the April 2020 VCS is still ongoing! There are a TON of prizes to win just for posting around the boards! You can find more information here, if I don't mess up the link again:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102858
Be sure to check it out! It's far from too late to even take first place. The prizes will surely enhance your Vizzed experience.

Hello everyone!
As you all know, there was supposed to be a VCS in March. Unfortunately, due to the database issues, it had to be postponed. But now we're all raring and ready to go for April!
The prizes for this month are INCREDIBLY generous, with almost 600,000 Viz going around, as well as extra goodies! This opportunity is PERFECT for the newbies looking for more Viz and have something to say! I hope you'll all consider giving it a shot!

Registration for our annual Bomberman '94 Tournament ends in 24 hours! Be sure to sign up if you have any interest at all.
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102813
For the first time ever, I'm offer a custom username style to the winner of this Tournament. And for those who don't know, Foxyman1113 dethroned me last year so I can be beat. I'm also offering up cash prizes again like last year.
This could potentially be the last Bomberman Tournament that I host due to the potential discontinuation of the RGR Plugin at the end of the year so I'm hoping we can get as many users involved in this. Maybe not for the purpose of winning but for the purpose of having a reason to hang out and chat.
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the

I'm now finished recovering data that was lost from the accidental database drop that took place at the beginning of this month. Not all of the data was recoverable but a lot of it was. All site features should be functioning properly again.
Here's a list of everything that was recovered:
-Threads
-Posts (some posts got submitted twice)
-Post Edits (only for posts made before 11/7/2019)
-Thread Edits
-Announcements
-Private Messages (only some)
-New Users (most)
-Game Pages
-Game Page Edits (only for games added before 11/7/2019)
-Donations (most; if yours is missing, let me know)
-Page Edits (most)
-User Edits (most)
-Screenshots
-Screenshot Edits (only for screenshots added before 11/7/2019)
-Screenshot Ratings (most)
-Page Comments
-Marketplace Purchases (most)
Content submitted after 11/7/2019 that wasn't recovered:
-Vizzed GO Captures
-Music Ratings
-Music Playlists
-Game Characters
-Marketplace Listings
For more information, or if you had content that wasn't recovered, or if you're missing Viz, let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102828
Many of you are stuck indoors during this Coronavirus Pandemic. Why not use this opportunity to tell your friends about Vizzed? And if you do, respond to the below thread after they've signed up and you'll both be given access to all PlayStation games in the Retro Game Room.
Vizzed has nearly 2500 PlayStation Games, which is almost every game ever made, and it includes all retail games, region exclusives, all demo discs, and more. Best of all, the PlayStation games support Netplay (when using the RGR Plugin) which means that you can play PlayStation games, and all other RGR Plugin games, online together!
You can recommend multiple friends and each of those friends will also be given access to the PlayStation games. To qualify though, the registrations need to be done with separate IPs and those accounts need to be created by your actual friend. Only accounts created after March 20th count (obviously). You'll also need to offer proof that the user you say you referred is your friend by either having them refer to you on the registration page (or you could give them your referral link, which automates that) or they'll also need to respond to the below thread.
This offer ends April 4th.
If you have any questions or have referred some friends, respond here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102826
The Marketplace is back up. Most purchases from the Marketplace have been restored. If you placed a listing after November 6th, 2019, you'll have to relist it because listings weren't restored.
If you purchased something in the past 4 months that wasn't restored, respond to this thread and I'll refund you your Viz:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102817
I'm finished with restoring game content that users submitted to the site in the past 4 months. This includes Game Pages, Game Edits, Game Edit Requests, Screenshots and Screenshot Edits. Screenshot Ratings have not been restored yet.
Any Game Edit on a game that was for a game added to the site after November 6th, 2019, was not recoverable due to not being able to matchup game IDs. Likewise, all screenshot edits made to a screenshot that was added to the site after November 6th, 2019, was also not recoverable. So if you added a screenshot to the site after November 6th, 2019, the screenshot was most likely re-added but it'll need to be re-edited. Most browsers save the details that you
I'll work on restoring the Marketplace, Screenshot Ratings, and various other features tomorrow. My kids are home from school for a while due to the Corona Virus so that has slowed down my development this week, placing me behind the schedule I laid out.
If you have any questions or noticed that your content didn't get re-added, let us know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102816
I've had many people ask me, and I'm sure there are many others who haven't and are outside of the loop.
Viz amounts are not restored yet. Give it about a week. If you are still missing Viz after that, PM me and I will reimburse you the missing amount.
All of the Announcements made in the last 4 months have been restored. Unfortunately, only some of the Private Messages were able to be restored. So if you sent a Private Message in the past 4 months, check out Sent box to see if it was restored because if it wasn't, you'll have to send it again. Also, the Private Message system is back up and running.
Retro Game Room and Video Game Room content will be restored on Monday. Marketplace and remaining features will be restored on Tuesday.
I finished restoring the posts and threads. All threads have been recovered and with their proper IDs. It took a lot longer than expected since I had to make sure every thread was accounted for and that every thread maintained its same ID as before since the posts are associated with the threads based on their ID.
Most of the posts were recovered. About 98% of the posts were recovered. There were a few here and there that I might have missed and I didn't have enough logs for mid November so there were some posts that didn't get restored from November 7th - November 13th.
Thread Edits and Post Edits did not get restored. There were too many complications with both of these that I decided it wasn't worth doing, otherwise the restoration process would have taken another week. So if you edited any Threads or Posts in the past 4 months, you'll have to do that again.
Post ratings made in the past 4 months also were not restored. Additionally, some posts got re-added twice. If anyone sees duplicate posts, a staff member can easily remove the duplicate. Users should have received Viz and CP for their Posts and Threads being re-added. The scr
Today I'm going to work on restoring Private Messages and Announcements. If I have any time left over, I'll start working on the Retro Game Room and Video Game Room. I'll make a separate announcement about it later.
So, go ahead and start posting again
I'm about a day behind schedule from what I had made an announcement about last week. Yesterday I realized that the database was so damaged from the incident last week that I was better off rebuilding its architecture and while I was at it, I upgraded the software used on the database also.
Registration is back up and all users who created accounts in the past few months have their accounts back. A few user features have been made available also now.
Here is the new plan for what I should be able to accomplish this week:
Wednesday: Posting and Private Messages
Thursday: Retro Game Room and Video Game Room Content
Sometime Next Week: Marketplace and various other features
Here's a list of known pages that still need content recovered:
-Donations
-Comments
-Game Adding
-Game Editing
-Announcements
-Threads
-Thread Edits
-Posts
-Post Edits
-Marketplace Listings
-Private Messages
-Video Game Screenshot
-Video Game Screenshot Details
-Video Game Ratings
-Music Ratings
-Page Edits
Not everything is recoverable. Anything involving the following content in the past 4 months is lost:
-Vizzed GO Captures
-Game Characters
And here's a list of features currently disabled:
-Game Editing
-Game Adding
-Threads, Posts and Edits
-Marketplace Listings
-Private Message Sending (you can view messages now at least)
-Screenshot Submissions

I spent many hours putting this together, which is why I had to delay it as long as I did. I wanted to capture not only the growth of the site but its community as well. I also wanted it to feel authentic so I did a lot of research in order to represent what it would have felt like using the site during the represented time periods (finding archives and using old internet browsers).
All of the users represented in the video are users with at least 10 posts. A special thanks to the users who went out of there way to put together a video/audio file that I could place in the video

I’m going to start this out by letting everyone know that I’m still working on the 15 Year Anniversary Video but it’s a little behind. It should be up within a week though, and I’ll make a separate announcement for it. You can get a sneak peak of what to expect here (the video will be based on the events listed on that).
After a lot of bold and controversial decisions made at the end of 2018 involving a complete staff restructure, 2019 started out really strong. It slowed down a bit but I think that was just a temporary phase and I believe the site is on track to start growing again. 2018 was the rock bottom for the site and 2019 was the beginning of the gradual incline that follows.
2019 was also a really busy year as far as development goes. I said I would dedicate 2019 to working on features that benefit the forum and its community and that’s exactly what I did. I spent very little time working on the Retro Game Room and mainly focused on fixing, finishing and expanding things on the forum. The biggest project of course was Rebuilding the Entire Post System, which I think makes the forum worthy of a Vizzed Board 2.0 status? I also completely rebuilt the Private Message System from the ground up. Both of those projects were some of the biggest projects I’ve tackled in years but they weren’t the only forum related things I worked on.
I restructured the Log System which made the site more secure and faster, made a ton of different cosmetic
I did work on the Retro Game Room and Video Game Room a little though. I upgraded the version of RetroArch that we use countless times. I rebuilt the Game Editor to make the lives of the staff easier, I completely revamped the way Screenshots are handled and displayed, fixed the Game Streamers page, etc.
And then to some, the biggest thing that happened in 2019 was the Vizzed Minecraft Server Revival!
One of my more favorite features that I made was the Site Statistics page. It lets you see just about any type of statistic on the site with an endless amount of filters. All of the stats for the awards below were generated from that page (in previous years, I had to execute queries in the database) so be sure to click the ‘Source’ links to see those results in action.
Another big thing that happened in 2019: My Bomberman ’94 Tournament streak was finally broke by Foxyman1113! I had been the reigning champion for 5 years. Again, congrats Foxyman1113, it was nice to finally have that streak broken and it was well earned
Expect to see less features in 2020 compared to previous years but more involvement in the actual community. In 2020 I’ll be spending far less time doing development work on the site and far more time just being part of the community, which will include more posting, hosting more events, more streams with the members of the site, more PM reading, more Notification reading, and just more involvement with the community and staff in general.
You can find all of the awards and additional information here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102393
I'm putting together a YouTube video for the Vizzed Channel which will show the evolution of this site and its community in the form of a timeline. The timeline will list all of the significant events (in order) and will show various statistics. It will also list the different users who have been staff and users who have had an impact on the site in some way.
The video will probably be around 10 minutes long. Throughout the video, I'd like for clips of Vizzed users to play so this is where you guys can help out.
Submit Your Video/Audio
I wanted to have the involvement of Vizzed users in this video.
Qualified users can send me an audio or video clip in the following ways:
1. Email it to me at
2. Upload it to YouTube (as unlisted) for me to download
3. Upload it somewhere on the internet
You qualify if any of the following apply to you:
1. You've been a member for 5 or more years
2. You have more than 1000 posts (or 100,000 post words)
3. You have more than 10,000 CP
The Video/Audio Clip should:
-Be no more than 15 seconds long
-Start out with you saying your Vizzed username (or names)
-Be good quality if at all possible
-Sent to me before December 3rd
Then answer 1 (or both) of the following questions in the clip:
1. How has Vizzed impacted your life?
2. What is your greatest Vizzed memory?
If you have any questions, reply here:

I'm doing another Vizzed Black Friday this year which starts today, November 29th, and ends at the end of the day on Monday, December 2nd. Except this year, I'm doing the biggest discount I've ever offered!
During this time, everything (except stuff sold by other users) will be discounted by 33% in the Vizzed Market which includes all game codes and Vizzed items. Users will also earn double Viz for donating to the site.
Enjoy
As mentioned in this thread, I'm planning on putting together a timeline video of Vizzed.
I'm putting together a timeline feature which I'll be using to help "render" the timeline video and also to have a platform where I and others can submit events. You can see the timeline I'm putting together here: Vizzed History Timeline.
Staff has the power to add events to it. I can also give users the power to add events to it if others are interested in helping out. At the moment you can only add events, I haven't got around to adding the option for editing and removing events. Also note that the date of the events have to be in timestamp format (for the time being) so you can use a website like this to find the timestamp of a date.
What Events Should Be Added?
Feel free to suggest events that should be added. While the timeline will contain a few non Vizzed events (such as game systems and popular video game releases), all suggestions should be Vizzed related. Events can be something on Vizzed that happened which had a huge impact on the site or its community, when certain features got added, it can be various milestones, etc.
Post your suggestions here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102380

It was down for a few years but the Vizzed.co Minecraft Server is finally back online (and working great)! Well technically it's been up for a few weeks now but a lot of that time was used to install necessary plugins, maintenance, migrate old data, and prepare it for its grand opening!

I've created an entire directory on Vizzed dedicated to our Minecraft server. It contains plenty of resources, information about every user, world and claim, and so much more. I've also got huge plans to continue expanding it with features so that the site and our minecraft are more integrated with each other. Anyways, the Vizzed Minecraft "site" can be found here:

Be sure to take a look at the rules thread before using our server to avoid getting yourself banned. You can find the rules here:

I do a weekly Twitch Stream on Mondays at 1 PM central time where the staff and I discuss the server, our plans with it, any current events and more. If you're interested in it, check it out here:

Every Monday from 1 PM until 2 PM (central time zone) the Vizzed.co Minecraft Server staff and I will be doing a weekly meeting where we talk about the server, discuss our plans and allow users in the Twitch chat to give us feedback. It'll also involve a lot of general MC discussion and an opportunity to show off the server, the users of the server, and their creations.
The stream will be taking place on my Twitch Channel here:
https://www.twitch.tv/davideo7/
(be sure to follow my channel to get notifications)
The time and day of the week for our weekly meeting will more than likely change in a month. We'll make any adjustments needed for this so that it can involve as many users as possible.

2019 Spring Bomberman Tournament = Final Matchup at 2:00 PM Central Time on Thursday, 7/25/2019
The final matchup of the Bomberman '94 Tournament ends on July 25th with the final matchup taking place at 2:00 PM central time. The tournament started at the beginning of April and began with 25 of some of the best Bomberman players. It is now down to 5 players; here are those players and their overall rank (which will determine their player order):
P1. Davideo7
P2. Foxyman1113
P3. ruanito
P4. Barathemos
P5. brandon101101
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/davideo7/videos
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
//www.twitch.tv/davideo7
(be sure to 'Follow' my channel so you don't forget)
The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 90 minutes. Here are the results and uploaded streams of all the previous years:

I'm still the reigning champion at this tournament and I kinda hope Foxyman1113 can take me down finally this year. He beat me in our 1 vs 1 matchup a few weeks ago (but he also did that last year).

On Thursday, 6/27/2019, from 5-7 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Arcade Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This is the 4th year I've hosted a teams tournament. You can find the results of previous years here:
Summer 2017: Triple Trouble Win
Summer 2016: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2015: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Win
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win
This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to
NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. Also, the games of this tournament will be available to everyone while the tournament is active.
The games that this tournament will include (some of these might change):
Mixed System:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Final Match Tennis (TG)
-Motoroader (TGCD) ?
Super Nintendo:

PlayStation:

-Crash Team Racing ?
-Crash Bash ?
-Micro Maniacs ?
If you know of a good 2 vs 2 game, please recommend it and I'll see about getting it added!
Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet.
The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.
Requirements
-You should preferably live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes
1st = 300,000 Viz or $300 Worth of Steam Games (aka 30 Raffle Tickets)
2nd = 180,000 Viz or $180 Worth of Steam Games (aka 18 Raffle Tickets)
3rd = 90,000 Viz or $90 Worth of Steam Games (aka 9 Raffle Tickets)
Click here to see all the games you can choose from if you win.
(teams will share the prize)
Trophy Award
Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
Penalty
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.

The virus has spread. The emergency relief team working to contain the Davideo7 virus has become infected, and now the symptoms of this virus have become apparent in each of them. They are now each masquerading as Davideo7... If you see a Davideo7 during your venture across Vizzed Board, be sure to be extra careful and examine him carefully. It might not be the one you think it is.
For more information... you're on your own. Good luck out there.

I've extended the signup deadline by a week for the annual Bomberman '94 tournament. I was hoping to get more users signed up for this tournament. We have a good amount at 16 right now but was really hoping to get at least 20 users. So if anyone is interested in trying for any of the cash prizes (us $175 worth) or if anyone is interested in hanging out with fellow Vizzed users, there's nothing to lose with signing up. The tournament is mostly casual for the most part, it doesn't get very competitive until the final weeks of the tournament.
If you or someone you know is interested at all, you can sign up here:

For the first time in years, I'm offering out cash prizes to the top 3 winners of the annual Bomberman '94 Tournament! I'm planning on making this as much of a community event as possible. I'm trying to get as many users involved and also want to get as many of the matchups live streamed as possible so that we can also get a lot of users involved with spectating the season long event.
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the

Here's your chance to be part of the awesome team that helps keep the site going with new content and content management. Being part of the staff is of course volunteer work but you do at least get rewarded with lots of Viz (which lets you redeem game codes in the Vizzed Market) and also CP. It also lets you strengthen any skills that you might want to use for a future career. For example, write a bunch of Game Guides, Articles or Reviews and use those as examples of what you're capable of when applying for a future job in the industry. Additional benefits of joining the staff include:
-Access to exclusive features and forums
-Access to features before they're released
-Access to games and systems that aren't available to everyone
-Recognition and respect from the staff and vizzed community
-You'll be granted a permanent Elite member position (which is the highest non-staff position on the site that offers some staff benefits) after you've left staff assuming you were a staff member for at least 3 months and earned at least 1000 CP toward your staff roles
Application will be closed on January 25th and then the current staff will vote on who they think should join the staff. The new staff will be hired January 29th.
You can find a list of available positions that you can apply for at the following thread:

Alright, where do I begin. It's been the roughest year for Vizzed and its community. The site's traffic hasn't been this low since 2010 and the posting hasn't been this low since 2007. There has been a lot of division on the forum and the site has been missing its leader. Not only has 2018 been a low point for the site, it has also been the roughest year I've ever experienced in my personal life. Having to deal with things in my life that I never thought I'd ever have to go through and then having to battle some horrible nights of severe depression in its purest form. But 2018 is almost over and 2019 is almost here. Vizzed has its leader back and I'm optimistic for 2019. The site has already begun picking up over the past few weeks and the forum has been revived and rejuvenated as of a few days ago.
Despite the negativity of 2018, the site did receive a lot of much needed enhancements and features that I've been promising for many years. I finally created a Theme Creator which gives users the ability to create and share their own themes to use on Vizzed and I'm also going to be doing seasonal competitions where users can create a theme for a competition with the reward of having it used on the site for a short duration (like the current Christmas Theme Competition). I Fixed Most of the RGR Games, Upgraded RetroArch, and rebuilt the Netplay Sessions page. I purchased an SSL certificate so that the Vizzed.com URL is now HTTPS. I created a Requests Page to help organize and prioritize what needs to be done. I even added around 1000 video game soundtracks (totaling nearly 20,000 songs) to the Video Game Music Room.
Besides adding new stuff, I also did a lot of enhancing to what we currently have. Pages that I completely rebuilt from the ground up and migrated to the new site code include: Netplay Sessions, Show Posts and Announcements. And I'm hoping to get the remaining outdated site pages migrated before the year ends. I also fixed a lot of stuff which include: Reply to Post Summoning, Various Cosmetic Issues, Smilies and many other little things here and there.
I had promised a new direction for Vizzed and more involvement with the community earlier in the year but that was soon derailed by certain life events but I believe I'm back on track at making these changes happen. In 2019, I'll be investing more of my time into the community and will be prioritizing features that benefit the forum. I'm also going to work on making the site more customizable and even offer opportunities for qualified users to help out with the site and various site pages.

I've done something radical. I've demoted all of the moderators. Clean start. Rebuilding the team from the ground up. There have been too many complaints about the moderators over the years and it has resulted into a lot of members leaving, resulting into a massive drop in activity. It's time to let the community help choose who gets to have the power to be above them. Letting the Moderators choose who becomes a Moderator opens the doors for corruption and abuse of power.
I have 10 Local Moderator positions available. All you have to do is reply to the below thread with an application explaining why you think you deserve to be a Local Moderator and how you plan to make this a better place. Make it convincing and be honest, because the entire community will be involved with voting on who gets promoted.
2 Global Moderators will be chosen from the 10 Local Moderators. Voting for this will begin after the 10 Local Moderators have been promoted but this time those 10 Local Moderators will vote on who is most deserving of Global Mod. No one will be made an admin for the time being, I'll let time determine who is worthy of the admin position and at some point have an election for those 2 spots.
The Local Moderator applications will be available until December 5th and voting will last about a week (these times may change depending on participation). If you have any questions at all, let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=101022
All demoted staff members are eligible to apply for this and most likely have a great shot at getting the same position back. This mass demotion isn't targeting anyone, I just find it easier to revive Vizzed if I first start with reviving the staff (the team responsible for helping me make this happen) since a forum's success is often determined by the staff.
To apply, please submit your applications to this thread:

I'm giving you all an opportunity to make a Christmas theme for Vizzed which will be used for an entire week on the entire site!
Using the new Theme Creator feature, make the best possible Christmas theme that you can. Once this competition ends, users will all vote on what they think is the best Christmas theme and the theme that gets the most votes will be used as the default theme on the site during the '7 Days of Vizzed Christmas' which is from December 25th - 31st. In case of a tie breaker, the tied themes will split the time.

Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle.

The Theme Creator lets you create your very own theme. Once you've created the theme, you can apply the theme to either a page that you have admin powers over, or you can apply it to yourself which then gives many pages of the site that custom look. Not only can you create your own theme, but you can also choose from any of the user created themes.
This has been one of the more anticipated features that I promised users years ago. Even though it still has a long way to go, I'm excited to finally launch it
. Keep in mind that it'll only affect pages of the site that have been migrated to the new site engine but I plan to get more pages migrated in the near future, especially ones that are commonly used such as the New Reply page, Private Messages, Announcements and Login/Register. Also keep in mind that you can collaborate on a theme with someone by making them an "Admin" of your theme's page which gives them access to making changes to the theme (to make someone an admin of a page that you're an admin of, click the 'Edit Page' link at the top left of the page).
The feature can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/u/theme.php
Notable Features
-Create your own customized theme with instant previewing
-Browse user created themes to use as your own theme
-Make your theme available to the public or make it private
-See how many pages and users are using a specific theme
Future Features
-Allow users to buy and sell themes with Viz
-More customization over the look of the site
-Ability to copy "qualified" themes and alter them from there
-Rating system
-Search Features
-Make the theme creator easier to use and more user friendly
Set a Theme as Your Default Theme
To set a theme as your default site theme, click the 'Settings' link at the top left of the page and then scroll down to the 'Theme' section and from there,
Set a Theme for a Page
To add a theme to a page, simply click the 'Edit Page' link at the top left of a page that you have admin powers over and there should be a theme section where you can

If anyone else is interested in supporting this site (there are tons of benefits for doing so), you can help out for as little as US $2 a month here:

In many browsers, the donation page didn't work because the donation methods on the donation page required that it be on a secure site with an SSL certificate using HTTPS but I didn't have one set up at the time so that page has been down for quite a while.

Most of the games in the Retro Game Room that have had problems either recently or in the past year have been fixed. This mostly applies to any game that uses the RGR Plugin.
Here's a brief list of what was fixed:
-GBA and N64 (hadn't worked in about a week or more)
-Arcade and MESS systems (same issue as GBA & N64)
-Dreamcast (hasn't worked properly in almost 9 months)
-Saving, Loading and Screenshot taking (had been down 1+ weeks)
-Arcade Clones (the list of available clones for a game hasn't been available in almost 9 months)
-Game Page URLs (not sure for how long but some links to game pages from various sections of the site didn't work properly)
-Google Chrome (a recent Chrome
-Lots of other little things
If there are other RGR related problems, let me know right away in the below thread and I'll try and get it fixed as soon as I can (assuming it's not a time consuming fix):

I purchased and setup an SSL Certificate for Vizzed.com and now the entire site automatically transfers you to it. This makes the site more secure but it also greatly improves the site's reputation online and therefore increases the search engine rank since search engines like Google reward a site's ranking if the site is using https.
I had to go through a lot of pages to make sure everything is pointing to the new URL since a lot of pages stopped working because of it. If a page has content (such as images) that aren't using https on a page that is using https, most browsers throw a security warning and some don't even let you view the page. If anyone notices a page on the site that is no longer working, let me know right away in the following thread:

2018 Spring Bomberman Tournament = Final Matchup at 5:00 PM Central Time on Tuesday, 7/3/2018
The final matchup of the Bomberman '94 Tournament ends on July 3rd with the final matchup taking place at 5:00 PM central time. The tournament started at the beginning of April and began with 16 of some of the best Bomberman players. It is now down to 5 players; here are those players and their overall rank (which will determine their player order):
P1. Davideo7
P2. Foxyman1113
P3. Vanelan
P4. nakina
P5. DavidMcC1989
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/davideo7/videos
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:

The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 75 minutes. Here are the results and uploaded streams of all the previous years:

2014: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon
I'm still the reigning champion at this tournament but I really do think that Foxyman1113 could finally take me down this year. He beat me in our 1 vs 1 matchup a few weeks ago.

Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win
This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to
NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. Also, the games of this tournament will be available to everyone while the tournament is active.

Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet.
The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.

-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable

Trophy Award
Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
Penalty
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, June 18th

I'm going to be streaming 2 vs 2 games from the Retro Game Room in the netplay lobby. The main purpose of this netplay stream will be to find some more games that have a 2 vs 2 mode or can support a 2 vs 2 setup for the upcoming Summer Team Tournament, which is now open for signup.
Users are free to join us in testing out the games since we'll need at least 4 users for our testing purposes. Foxyman1113 and I will be co-hosting the stream on my Twitch channel together and we'll be on the Vizzed Discord server doing voice chat and everyone is welcome to join in on that as well. If anyone has suggestions for games for us to try, feel free to let us know in the below thread or during the stream.

I've created a requests page with the purpose of helping me prioritize what needs to be done, helping me keep track of what needs to be done, and letting you all have some input in what I do with the time I invest on the site.
You can find the request page here:
https://www.vizzed.com/request.php
If you have an idea for a current feature, a problem that you want to report or a minor typo, you can report it among many other things on that page. Even if you want to suggest for me to invest more time into the community by either posting more or gaming more with users, that sort of stuff can also be suggested. Basically any direct request you have for me.
You can even give input on things already suggested by either "Liking" those ideas (by clicking the heart) or by responding to the comments sections of those pages. The page is not completely done and I plan to add a little more functionality. Keep in mind that not all ideas can realistically be done or considered but I'll do what I can and take care of what is beneficial for the site.
I get a lot of suggestions, feedback, ideas and sometimes it can be overwhelming at how many emails or private messages I get. I do sometimes forget about things reported so this page will make sure I don't forget. I often forget to make a post about things I do or fix and this page will show what I'm currently working on and what gets done when it gets done so it'll definitely be a page worth checking out often (although most of the time I make threads about the big
The "Feature Request" option is currently disabled since I don't currently have time to add new features and nor should I until I fix all of the current issues. Some of you have great ideas and I'm excited to hear what feature ideas you all might have but that option wont be available for at least a few months and any feature requests disguised as something else (placed into a different category for example) will have to be declined for now
I built this page for you guys to help me become a better owner and developer. I'm still trying to become more invested and involved with you all. For me, this is the best and most organized way I could think of at reconnecting with the community and working together at rebuilding what is broke and resolving what is wrong

Today and over the past few weeks I've been fixing various netplay issues and also recreated the Netplay Sessions page. Here's a list of things I've done.
New Netplay Sessions Page
-The new page is smaller, cleaner and is migrated to the "new site code".
-There's now a list that shows the top most popular RGR games to netplay along with a 'Create Session' link that lets you create a netplay session for that game right from the netplay sessions page.
-A game session history tracker now displays the last 50 netplay sessions. A good way to find out when users usually do netplay, if you missed a netplay session, and also gives you ideas for games to netplay.
Bug Fixes
-Netplay sessions stay open and don't auto close when users aren't chatting.
-Netplay sessions get removed again from the netplay sessions page when a session is no longer being used.
-Chat room in both the game window and netplay sessions page should be working fine and has been upgraded and modified to a better scr
-The links for leaving and deleting a session are available again in the play window of a netplay session. The 'Reset' button is also available again to those who created the session.
For those who don't know, the RGR Plugin lets you join and create netplay sessions for games in the Retro Game Room which lets you play multiplayer games online with other users of Vizzed. Supported systems include SNES, NES, PS1, Genesis, SMS, N64, TG16, PCFX, TGCD and more! You can join a session in progress from the Netplay Sessions page or you can create a new session by finding a game in the Retro Game Room, scrolling half way down the game's page and clicking the 'Click here to Start a New Netplay Session' link, which lets you set up the netplay session. Netplay sessions work best in Google Chrome.

The Vizzed Streamers page is back up. It's been down for quite a while and hasn't been functioning properly for even longer. For those who don't know, the Vizzed Streamers page is a page that promotes users on Vizzed who stream on Twitch. You don't have to stream Retro Game Room games but it is a requirement to stream RGR games at least once a month to stay on the page and streams involving RGR games will be prioritized over the other streams. You'll also earn Viz while streaming RGR games.
If you stream on Twitch regularly, it'd definitely be beneficial to get yourself added to the Twitch Streamers page. Streams not only appear on the Streams page (with chat too so they actually show up as viewers in your stream) but the streams also get promoted on the index page of the Retro Game Room.

The Vizzed annual Bomberman '94 Tournament begins week 3 tonight and both of the matchups taking place tonight will be live streamed with commentary among those competing. Below are the matchup times, who is in the matchups and where the stream will be taking place.
7:00 PM Matchup (central time zone)
-Foxyman1113
-Davideo7
-trixz2007
-DavidMcC1989
-Vanelan
It'll be streamed on trixz2007's Live.me channel here:

9:00 PM Matchup (central time zone)
-nakina
-thing1
-Pringur0
-Davideo7
-lilwildwolf21
(possible celebrity guest appearance by Foxyman1113)
It'll be streamed on lilwildwolf21's (djinn) Twitch channel here:
https://www.twitch.tv/djinnsgamingchannel
trixz2007 and lilwildwolf21 both stream most of their matchups and since every contest has 2 matchups a week, lots of opportunities to watch some of the matchups. I also stream my matchups when I'm in a matchup that doesn't have anyone else streaming and I do that on my Twitch channel.
Some of these matchups can get intense. The 7 PM matchup from week 1 was pretty epic and tonight's 7 PM matchup contains most of the players from that matchup who all happen to be some of the toughest players in this tournament.
It's definitely worth showing up to these matchups, even if you're not in the tournament or into Bomberman. We usually keep the conversations fun and interactive and it's also a great opportunity to catch up with fellow vizzed users.

In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points. Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
This is the 5th year that we've had a Bomberman '94 tournament. Here are the top 5 results from each of the previous 4 years:

I've been sorta distant from the Vizzed community for the past year and a half and especially lately over the past few months. I've been spreading myself too thin ever since I started a full time job 1 1/2 years ago and especially more so with my wife recently getting a full time job, putting me in charge of my kids while she's at work which has limited my time to invest into Vizzed even more.
Up until a few months ago I was investing a lot of time into the website. Between working my full time job, I was also investing an almost equal amount of hours into the website...but not the community. A lot of the stuff I had been working on was more behind the scenes stuff such as fixing things, optimizing things, server transfers, server maintenance, marketing and advertising, researching, studying, general site maintenance, working on making the site more mobile friendly and making the games in the Retro Game Room playable on mobile devices. I was working too much, lacking
From now on, I'm going to put far less focus into adding new features to the site and more focus into fixing the ones we already have. But prioritized over that though will be the Vizzed community since that's the part of the site that has been dying the most. Over the past year, the posting traffic has taken some massive drops and more recently it's close to extinction. I've got 100s of Private Messages I have to go through and I'll make those a higher priority than I have in the past but it'll still take me a while to get through them because some require time consuming responses, some require me to look into and/or fix things that are complicating, and some are ideas and proposals that people submit to me. I also had 10,000s of unread notifications but one day I accidentally opened it up which cleared it all so there's a lot of stuff I'll never know about that I was summoned to. Anyways, I'll probably be investing about 20 hours into the site a week on average with 10% of my time invested into adding new features, 25% of it fixing features and maintenance, and 65% of it invested into the community.
Becoming more involved with the Vizzed community should result into me posting more. I'm also hoping to get back into netplaying and streaming once in a while with some of you that I haven't done so with in a long time. In the near future I'll be making a thread allowing users to let me know of what needs to be fixed around the site but my first priority will be restructuring the staff. I'll most likely demote all staff (excluding site staff) and rebuild the entire staff from the ground up. A community can't survive without a good staff and a bad staff can turn users away from the site and that's been one of the biggest complaints and one of the top reasons I've heard that users have been ditching the community, they don't like the staff or the leadership.
So yeah, my involvement with the users of this site and the staff has been terrible and I apologize for that
It's not that my management skills are bad, I just have really bad time management and I think the big reason for that is not only my lack of time but also my ADHD, which is something I've always struggled with and can be pretty bad sometimes. I start a lot of projects that I don't finish and adding new stuff to the site is more exciting to me than spending hours reading and responding to Private Messages and emails so I tend to put off to the side those things and ended up prioritizing what was exciting to me since it motivated me. But those reasons aren't justified and probably caused me to sometimes become impatient since I started viewing it as a burden to have to respond to things that were time consuming or unexciting. I'm hoping this new direction is the right direction (or at least until I can make Vizzed my full time job again) and those of you who have stuck around and been patient with me, or even those of you who are willing to give me another chance, I thank you all
All RGR Games Cost 0 Viz & Temporarily 25% Off All Market Listings
As part of my apology and gratefulness that some of you are still checking up on the site, I've made the price of all the games in the Retro Game Room cost 0 Viz (a while ago I did make it so users could still play games without Viz but they'd have in ad in the play window). I've made all of the game systems (except PlayStation) available to everyone (this actually was done a few months ago), regardless of powerlevel or what items you own from the Vizzed Market. I've permanently dropped the price of the PlayStation item from 30,000 Viz to 10,000 Viz, which gives you access to play nearly 2500 PlayStation games. I'm able to do this thanks to the new servers that I migrated to recently which now offers me unlimited bandwidth, gives me more disk space and surprisingly the servers are cheaper than the previous I had which is crazy since they're also a lot faster.
I'm also temporarily discounting all of the items in the Vizzed Market by 25%. This includes all digital items that I've listed and also all vizzed items.
150+ Items Added to Vizzed Market
Over the past month or so I've added well over 150 games and other various items to the Vizzed Market (actually 200+ but a lot of those listings sold quick). I still have a lot of game codes to add from years ago when I had the money to invest into buying digital games in stock quantity. The purpose of that was to reward users by giving them something to spend their Viz on. I'm hoping to get another 100+ items added within the next month or so.
Anyways, if any of you have any questions or feedback regarding any of this, please let me know in this thread

The server maintenance that resulted from the server migration is finally finished. I apologize for the delay and for the various features that were down for a lot of this time. I have a separate full time job and a family to attend to so I wasn't able to dedicate as much time to the maintenance and server migration as I would've liked. The migration in the long run was not only beneficial for me since it cut server costs by a ton but it also resulted into all games (except PlayStation) being available to all users with no limitations at all thanks to the unlimited bandwidth that I now have.
Also, the site should be a lot faster now and even faster than it was before the server migration. All of the features should be working fine again but if anything stopped working because of the migration, be sure to let me know right away in this thread:

The Video Game Music Room is back up which means you all can go ahead and get your submissions ready for the below competition. The competition ends this upcoming Wednesday which is also when the stream will take place but I'll let everyone continue submitting their songs up until a few hours before the stream starts. The games in the Retro Game Room will be working again hopefully within 24 hours and the rest of the site should be back to full speed within the next few days. I'll make a separate announcement once the maintenance is complete. Thank you all for your patience

The server migration is complete but the site maintenance will continue for another week. The games in the Retro Game Room are currently down and the songs in the Video Game Music Room are also unavailable. The site is also a lot slower than usual. Once the maintenance is complete, all of these things should be fixed (some of these things sooner than others). If there are any other issues that I'm unaware of, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100186
Starting now until Friday the site will be undergoing maintenance. Most of the site will be up for most of this time but some user features will be down for some of this time.
I'll be migrating the site to new servers which will help cut site costs, make the site a little faster and will give the site unlimited bandwidth which means I'll be making all of the games on the site (except PlayStation) available to everyone regardless of system and Viz.

For those who missed the final matchup but still wanted to see it, I've uploaded the stream to YouTube here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg_FQvpPiU8
The final matchup of the Bomberman '94 Tournament ends on July 12th with a final matchup taking place at 7:30 PM central time. The tournament started at the beginning of April and began with 16 of some of the best Bomberman players. It is now down to 5 players; here are those players and their overall rank (which will determine their player order):
P1. Davideo7
P2. Linkums
P3. Foxyman1113
P4. gamerforlifeforever
P5. Barathemos
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/davideo7/videos
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:

The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 75 minutes. Here are the results and uploaded streams of all the previous years:

I've never lost in the Bomberman '94 Tournament but if there ever was a year for it to happen, it could be this year. Linkums was the overall leader in the tournament for a few weeks and both Linkums and Foxyman1113 have been able to beat me this year at some point. Also due to my incredibly busy schedule this year, I've done absolutely no practicing at all and have had issues maintaining focus so we might finally have a new reigning champion

I've added over 100 Steam Games to the Vizzed Market. For those who don't know how it works, you can buy digital games and other various items in the Vizzed Market using Viz that you've earned on the site. I also recently enhanced the searching functionality of Vizzed Market which you can read about here.
I've added literally $10,000s worth of game codes to the Vizzed Market since its launch last year. 5000+ digital items have already been sold since then and there's still 2500+ available to be purchased by Viz. I still have 1000s of digital codes to add to the Vizzed Market over the next few months but a lot of them I'll be working on adding this month so be sure to check back daily to see if any new codes get added that you might be interested in.
If you have any questions or if you want to see the full list of games added, go here:

On Wednesday, 6/28/2017, from 1-8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the PlayStation Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).

The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle.

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=99318
This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs. Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory.
Users will be able to choose the 300,000 Viz or can take 30 Raffle Tickets (valued at $300) that they can use to redeem any game from this page here. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
Systems we'll be playing games for include: PlayStation, Super Nintendo, Nintendo NES and TurboGrafx. Games include: Bomberman, Micro Machines, Super Spike V'Ball, Crash Bash and more. If anyone knows of any good 2 vs 2 games that I can add to this tournament, be sure to let me know.

The Video Game Music Radio is a live 24/7 stream dedicated to playing some of the best video game music. It doubles as video game trivia with a full leaderboard and prizes! You can find it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/radio/
To put into perspective just how big of a project this is, I've been working on this on and off for the past 5+ months and easily have 400+ hours into this. This is using the Video Game Music Room which contains 134,099 songs that I've invested 100s of hours converting and adding to Vizzed (some staff members have also helped add stuff). The radio picks high rated music based on user ratings and there are a total of 76,463 song ratings among 551 different users with a total of 29,466 songs having been rated. The screenshots (360,199 user submitted) and videos (17,298 user submitted) are generated from the Retro Game Room and the Video Game Room and are based on user ratings. To sum all of that up, this radio contains 10,000s of man hours and because of that, I believe that an experience like this couldn't be replicated anywhere else on the internet.

Unlike most people, when tax time comes around, I usually have to pay in thanks to having the site (the US government hates business owners). Since some of you get pretty generous tax returns, why not help the site out by donating a tiny bit of it? You'll get rewarded with plenty of benefits.
Interested in Donating? If so, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php
Earn Viz from Donating!
$10 = 10,000 Viz
$25 = 30,000 Viz
$50 = 75,000 Viz
$100 = 175,000 Viz
$250 = 500,000 Viz
Why donate besides helping the site out financially?
Donating grants you lots of Viz and lots of Viz can get you access to lots of nice items in the Vizzed Market. For 10,000 Viz you can get the Beta Test Ticket which grants you access to games, systems and features before they go public. For 30,000 Viz you can get the PlayStation item which gives you access to literally play nearly 2500 PlayStation games on Vizzed. Those are just a few things among many. Also, if you're feeling really generous, if you make the top
https://www.vizzed.com/market/listings.php?type=Key
Play 2500 PlayStation games!
Ok I really wanted to put emphasis on the PlayStation games on Vizzed. There are nearly 2500 PlayStation games in the Retro Game Room which is almost every PS1 game ever made. Most of the games play nearly perfectly and they all play in HD, support save states, allow you to play multiplayer with netplay and so much more! The PS1 games take up a ton of disk space and bandwidth (which costs me money) which is why it's a system that's exclusive to people who help out the site in some way. You can get the PlayStation item for 30,000 Viz (equivalent to a $30 donation) here:
https://www.vizzed.com/market/listings.php?type=Key
Don't have PayPal?
If you don't have PayPal but still want to donate, you can donate in any other way that you can (and you can even donate your unused games as seen here). I'll still add you to the donations list and you'll also still get the CP and Viz from doing so. Keep in mind that PayPal allows people with Credit Cards but no PayPal account to donate. If you don't have PayPal or a Credit Card but still want to donate, let me know of ways that you are able to in this thread.
Don't have money to donate but still want to help out?
There are lots of ways to help out the site even if you don't have money. You can tell your friends about Vizzed, you can tell everyone on your facebook about Vizzed, you can submit content to the site, etc. You can also help out the site in a ton of ways mentioned in my Help out Vizzed thread so if you can't help out financially, please consider doing everything in this thread:

PlayStation Netplay Tournament: Final Matchup
The PlayStation Netplay Tournament comes to an end this Wednesday shortly after the music stream. I'll be hosting this final matchup starting at 8 PM (central time zone) on my Twitch Channel. The matchup will be between Kruzer and pinkeyedtree.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding any of this, go to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=98831
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points. Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
This is the 4th year in a row that we've had a Bomberman '94 tournament. Here are the top 5 results from each of the previous 3 years:

The latest version of Firefox (version 52) which was released on March 7th has removed NPAPI plugins. By default, the RGR Plugin runs in Firefox as an NPAPI plugin and as a PPAPI plugin in mostly everything else. Without having to release a whole new plugin, I've modified the code of the play window to force Firefox to use PPAPI when running the RGR Plugin.
This solution works with Firefox but with a few issues:
-The actual game doesn't fit within the frame (it's probably appearing higher than normal)
-Netplay doesn't work
-You most likely have to
I'm hoping to fix the 1st issue and possibly the 2nd issue. The last issue most likely can only be fixed with a new RGR Plugin
In other news, the game chat is currently down but should be back up within a week. Also, my maintenance is mostly complete but not quite.

On Tuesday, 2/28/2017, from 5 - 8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Neo Geo CD Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

New Music Feature
After the Neo Geo CD Music stream is over, I'll be hosting a 1 hour long event to introduce everyone to a new music streaming feature I've been working on so I hope everyone can stick around and help me test it out
The site maintenance is complete and I'm kind of surprised by the results. What I had intended to do was merge 2 of the site's servers into 1 server in order to save $375 a month. I made various adjustments/tweaks and
The real test will be how the site handles the peak hours of the day but if it's this good now then I'd imagine it'll still be far better than usual during the peak hours. I can start my (factory) work week happy knowing that I had probably one of the most productive (site) work weeks in a very long time.
Anyways, more than likely something on the site stopped working after this migration. If anyone is noticing any problems that just started happening after this transfer, let me know right away here:

I dropped the price of the PlayStation item from 50,000 Viz to 30,000 Viz. This is a permanent price change and is exactly enough to get from a US $25 Donation. Earning Viz is incredibly easy so you can obtain that amount without having to donate by doing many of the things listed in this thread.
The PlayStation item gives you access to play nearly 2,500 PlayStation games on Vizzed (which is almost every PS1 game ever released in all countries). All you need is a decent computer and the RGR Plugin installed and you'll be able to play the PS1 games with near perfect emulation and with lots of features. You can find a list of PS1 games that Vizzed has here:
https://www.vizzed.com/play-psx/
In related news, the PlayStation item was recently "out of stock" in the Vizzed Market (I know it's a virtual item lol) so I increased its stock to 100. I also made it so that the V-Machine CD item includes PlayStation games (which is an item that allows you to access all games for 0 Viz).
There are many reasons why PlayStation games on Vizzed are not available to everyone but the primary reason is to reduce bandwidth costs. CD games are huge, around 500 times larger than the average cartridge game.

The Summer Team Tournament is finally over. If you missed the stream, you can find the video of it and the results here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnXe0C36mTU
The Summer 2016 Teams Netplay Tournament comes to an end tomorrow, Monday, in the Final Matchup at 4 PM central time. This was a 14 week long tournament which started out with 12 teams where each week 2 teams would face off against each other best out of 3 based on either Super Nintendo games, PlayStation games or Mixed System (which includes NES, TG and TGCD).
The teams facing off tomorrow will be Vizzéteers (Davideo7 and trixz2007) versus Masters via Participation (Vanelan and Zlinqx). Last year the final matchup came down to my team vs their team with the Vizzéteers winning it, the only difference is that this year I have trixz2007 on my team instead of Foxyman1113 and lilwildwolf21.
Since mixed system was decided, the first team to win 2 of the following games wins:
Bomberman '94 (TG): Win 2 rounds to 5 trophies to win this game.
Final Match Tennis (TG): Win a single set.
Super Spike V'Ball (NES): Win a single set.
Motoroader (TGCD): Win a single set.
The teams take turns picking the game that gets played, starting with the Home team which is Vizzéteers.
Can Davideo7 win this annual summer tournament back to back? Or will Vanelan and Zlinqx pull a Rocky II and take down the reigning champion? Find out live on 9/26/2016 at 4 PM central time here:

My Patreon page has only been up for a few weeks and it's already earning $419 a month which is fantastic so I'd like to give a huge thanks to everyone who has pledged so far
However, we're still only 1/3 of the way to the $1500 a month goal which would be enough for me to quit my full time job and go back to working on the site full time again.

I've created a Patreon page for Vizzed which you can find here:
https://www.patreon.com/DavidAuchampach
Working on the site is something I do full time and previously the ad revenue covered both my employment and the site expenses and server fees, however, the ad revenue has taken some drops over the past few years (traffic drops, ad blocks, mobile devices, etc) so I'm no longer able to invest 40-60 hours into the site a week like I love doing.
Here are the tiers which you can also find on the above page (I plan to add more soon):
$2 a Month
-Access to a Patron Exclusive forum
-All RGR Games Cost 0 Viz
-All Ads Removed
$5 a Month
-Access to All RGR Games (including PS1 games and beta ticket exclusive games)
-Added to my Vizzed friends list, Skype, Xbox Live and/or Steam (permanently)
-Earn 1.25x more Viz for everything you do *
-All Previous Rewards
$10 a Month
-Access to Almost All Site Features (all the features that require special items)
-All of your Private Messages are prioritized (I'll make sure to get to them within 24-48 hours)
-Earn 1.5x more Viz for everything you do *
-All Previous Rewards
$25 a Month
-You get to have some input on what features I invest my time into
-Promoted to Vizzed Elite if you're not already (you get to permanently keep it if you do this tier for at least 1 year)
-Earn 1.75x more Viz for everything you do *
-All Previous Rewards
$50 a Month
-1 undivided hour of my time a month (spent in any way that you want)
-Ability to change your username color whenever you want as often as you want (your final color is permanent if you do this tier for at least 1 year)
-Earn 2x more Viz for everything you do *
-All Previous Rewards
$100 a Month
-I'll invest 8 hours a month toward any feature that you request (either a new feature or a current feature)
-Ability to change your username border color whenever you want as often as you want (your final color is permanent if you do this tier for at least 1 year)
-Ability to change your username whenever you want as often as you want for 0 Viz (no more than once per a day)
-All Previous Rewards
*The multipliers from these rewards would be added to the current multipliers that users already have based on their CP total. So if a user already has a 1.5 multiplier on Vizzed, the $10 a Month tier would turn that into a 2x multiplier.
All rewards would only be active while the user is an active patron (unless stated otherwise).
If anyone has any questions or feedback, be sure to let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=96307
I've created a new Donation page (which you can read about here) which offers a few new ways to donate. You can find the Donation page here:
https://www.vizzed.com/donate.php
It costs a lot to keep this site running with all of the games that it has so it's always greatly appreciated with users help out. The ads only pay so much and that's mainly because I don't want to flood the pages with ads, don't want use popups and I also want to avoid adding annoying, unsafe or adult ads. All donations are rewarded a lot of Viz and CP and also offer other benefits (with more benefits coming soon for all current and future donators).
Donation Options
Donate with Stripe
Stripe lets you securely donate any amount to the site using Credit Card, Bitcoin and Alipay.
Other Ways to Donating
You can do a manual donation using just about any method and still get full credit for it.
Donate Games
If you have any physical games you no longer use, get full credit from donating them.
Donate with PayPal
This isn't a new form of payment but I figured I'd remind everyone that this is an option.

Sign up now to our annual Tecmo Super Bowl tournament. The Tecmo Super Bowl tournaments last the longest of all the tournaments I hold each year since it lasts as long as the NFL season. Just like last year, this year the tournament will begin right around the time Preseason begins which will be Thursday, August 11th.
Previous Winners:
2015 Winner: MattyIce
2014 Winner: MattyIce
2013 Winner: boomer1709
2012 Winner: thubtengendun0
This tournament will last for 24 weeks. The first 4 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate) and it'll also help determine who plays who during the regular games. The next 16 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final matchup which is our Super Bowl.
Since 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2017' wont be released when this tournament begins, we'll be using 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2016' for the first 4 weeks and then we'll be using 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2017' once the regular season begins.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo NES games
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 300,000 Viz or 30 Raffle Tickets
2nd = 200,000 Viz or 20 Raffle Tickets
3rd = 100,000 Viz or 10 Raffle Tickets
Team Entry Fee: FREE
(entry fee is 0 Viz this year)
Signup ends and tournament begins on Thursday, August 11th.
If you want to enter, simply respond to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=95920
On Wednesday, 7/27/2016, from 3 - 10 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Super Nintendo Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $500 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be nearly 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/market/listings.php?type=Raffle
If you can only show up for a little while that's fine. It's a very long stream (probably not as long as last month though) so I don't expect anyone to stick around the entire time. The longer you stick around and vote, the greater your chances will be of winning some Raffle Tickets.
My twitch channel can be found here:

Vizzed is back up and should be back to normal. If you notice anything wrong with the site after coming back up, please let me know ASAP in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=95637
So I woke up to the same problem you are all seeing right now and I don't know why it is happening. I'm trying to contact David (if anyone has his contact info saved somewhere feel free to try and contact him yourself) but to no avail so far. Hopefully he is able to come back sooner than later to get this sorted out.
It appears as though games are still playable so please feel free to visit the RGR while you wait
Also, if anyone else is getting pop-up ads I apologize for that. Not sure why that started happening but it is quite annoying and wouldn't blame anyone for blocking the ads until everything gets sorted out again.
There's more ways to earn and spend Viz now than ever before. I'll quickly go over the things that you can spend your Viz on and also ways that you can earn Viz.
Spend Viz
PlayStation Item = 50,000 Viz
This gives you access to play nearly 2,500 PlayStation games. We have just about every PS1 game ever made on the site and also a lot of rare unreleased stuff as well. The games play great and the majority of the games work!
Buy Digital Games in the Vizzed Market
The market has nearly 4000 codes for 800+ games and games are being added daily. You can buy Steam games, Wii-U games, 3DS games and more! The Market also has non-game codes for sale as well.
Download Video Game Music = 25,000 Viz
The Video Game Music Room is an awesome feature that has been around for 7+ months that allows you to listen to nearly 100,000 songs from video games. Now you can finally get access to downloading these songs with the Song Downloader item.
Unlock Features with Key Items
The Vizzed Market has a Key Item section that allows you to buy items that unlock features on the site. There are currently lots of items available and I've got plans to add plenty of new items in the near future.
Earn Viz
Help out Vizzed = Earn 25,000+ Viz!
This thread has tons of different ways that I'm offering users to earn Viz simply by helping out Vizzed.
Rate My Google Android App = 40,000 Viz
Simply request a free code for this app that I've created and download it, review it and rate it. That's it.
Vizzed Market Forum
This forum has tons of threads created by various users and myself allowing anyone to earn lots of Viz.
Donating
Of course the quickest way to earn Viz is by donating to the site. The site has been struggling financially for a while now and I've been having troubles keeping up with paying the RGR Plugin developer. You can earn 10,000 Viz for each US $10 that you donate so if you have anything to spare, please consider it.
Submitting Site Content
You can earn both Viz and CP when you submit various forms of content to the site.

Just a reminder to compete in this month's competitions. As I previously mentioned, all winners will receive a special trophy item for their profiles and will be permanently added to a Vizzed Hall of Fame page.

I completely recreated the profile pages from the ground up and made them so much better by adding so many more features and options, made them more user friendly, made them mobile friendly, faster to load, more secure and so much more (more details below). I also made it so that all of the 'Edit Profile' stuff can be done right on your profile page. You can see my profile in action here:
https://www.vizzed.com/user/Davideo7-1-profile
You can see your own profile by either clicking your username at the top of almost every page of the site or by going to this page:
https://www.vizzed.com/user/
For full details or for any questions and feedback, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=95487
I've created a comment box which lies near the footer of almost every page. The only pages that it doesn't exist on includes game pages (since they have their own comment box already) and any page that hasn't been migrated to the new site code. For most pages the box is unique to the page which means comments made in the box would only appear on that specific page.
Features include:
-Ability to submit comments without having to reload the entire page
-Clicking 'Popout Comments' lets you view more results and with a bigger view
-Being the admin of a page grants you the ability to delete comments (and profile owners too)
-On profiles, you can click the 'View Archived Comments' link to view old past comments
-The comment box can be disabled on any page from the 'Content Disabling' section of 'Edit Page'
-A reload button reloads the comments to see if any new comments have been made (they don't load automatically to reduce strain)
-Most forum tags are supported
-It's incredibly fast
-It should be completely mobile friendly
The pages that benefit the most from this include:
-User Profiles
-Song Pages
-Forum Pages
-Song Playlists

As some of you know, Vizzed has been struggling financially over the past year after it took some huge traffic drops and now that January and February have come along (which are already the worst months financially out of the entire year), things are even worst financially. What's even worst on top of that is having to pay taxes this time of year and being self employed (since my income depends on the site's revenue) means that I have to pay in money to the government and it's usually a lot (I don't have the luxury of getting a nice tax return every year). I've been able to get site fees down a little over the past few months but they're still $1000+ a month.
If you have any money to spare, even if it's as little as $10, the donations would be hugely appreciated. If you can donate a big amount, that'd be fantastic but if you can only afford $10 then that's fine too since it adds up. If for example 100 users donated $10 each, that'd be $1000 right there which would help out greatly (and the majority of users most likely can afford $10, that's like the price of what some people spend on junk food in a week). My job is this site which allows me to work on this site full time (sometimes as much as 60-80 hours a week) so I don't really have any other source if income besides selling my possessions.
Interested in Donating? If so, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php
Earn Viz from Donating!
$10 = 10,000 Viz
$25 = 30,000 Viz
$50 = 75,000 Viz
$100 = 175,000 Viz
$250 = 500,000 Viz
Why donate besides helping the site out financially?
Well donating grants you lots of Viz and lots of Viz can get you access to lots of nice items in the Vizzed Market. For 10,000 Viz you can get the Beta Test Ticket which grants you access to games, systems and features before they go public. For 25,000 Viz you can get access to the V-Machine item which allows you to play all games without paying extra Viz for them. For 50,000 Viz you can get the PlayStation item which gives you access to play 2500+ PlayStation games on Vizzed. There are lots of other things you can spend Viz on and I've got lots of additional items that will be added to the Vizzed Market in the upcoming weeks. Also, if you're feeling really generous, if you make the top

Don't have PayPal?
If you don't have PayPal but still want to donate, you can donate in any other way that you can (and you can even donate your unused games as seen here). I'll still add you to the donations list and you'll also still get the CP and Viz from doing so. Keep in mind that PayPal allows people with Credit Cards but no PayPal account to donate. If you don't have PayPal or a Credit Card but still want to donate, let me know of ways that you are able to in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=95069
Don't have money to donate but still want to help out?
There are lots of ways to help out the site even if you don't have money. You can tell your friends about Vizzed, you can tell everyone on your facebook about Vizzed, you can submit content to the site, etc. You can also help out the site in a ton of ways mentioned in my Help out Vizzed thread so if you can't help out financially, please consider doing everything in this thread:

The winner of the tournament gets $100, 2nd place gets $50, 3rd place gets $25 and 4th & 5th get Viz prizes. If you're curious about how this tournament worked and who all competed, you can find more information here.
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here.
No one has ever beat me in this annual Bomberman '94 tournament but this year has more talent than any other year so this could be the year that someone finally takes down my reign and gets crowned the Bomberman '94 champion! Or you can root for me also, I don't want to be portrayed as the villain
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
(be sure to 'Follow' my channel so you don't forget)
Defeat Davideo7 and Foxyman1113 & Win US $500 Worth of Digital or Steam Games! Event starts at around 7:30 PM central time on Wednesday, 6/22/2016
As soon as the Bomberman Netplay Tournament ends, there will be a special Bomberman event that'll take place right afterward (just like the last 2 years). You'll form a team with anyone and take us on in a 2 vs 2 match and if you can beat us, you and your teammate get to share the $500 worth of Digital or Steam games! (or 500,000 Viz if you want that instead). Basically you'll be given 50 Raffle Tickets which you can use to redeem here (also click that to see the list of games that you can get which includes more than just Steam games).
If you're interested in challenging us, read the full details and respond to this thread here:

Sign up now for the Summer 2016 Team Tournament for a chance at winning 300,000 Viz or $300 worth of Digital Games:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94941
This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs. Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory.
Users will be able to choose the 300,000 Viz or can take 30 Raffle Tickets (valued at $300) that they can use to redeem any game from this page here. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
Systems we'll be playing games for include: PlayStation, Super Nintendo, Nintendo NES and TurboGrafx. Games include: Bomberman, Micro Machines, Super Spike V'Ball and more. If anyone knows of any good 2 vs 2 games that I can add to this tournament, be sure to let me know.

The Video Game Music Room is already 6 months old and has made a lot of progress since its launch. It now has nearly 100,000 songs among 5000+ games for nearly 30 different systems with new songs being added weekly. If you still haven't used it, be sure to check it out here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/music.php
Because the Video Game Music Room has so many songs, we need as many ratings as we can possibly get in order to help the good songs stand out and for the bad songs not to. I'll give anyone who is willing to help rate songs up to 50,000 Viz! A great opportunity to earn more Viz for the Vizzed Market. All you have to do is search for music and rate it. I've temporarily made it so that you can get CP credit for rating 100s of songs during this offer and I also made it so that the default order of songs is based on overall rating in order to mix things up (too many SNES songs were showing up in the default order and I want more than just SNES songs rated).
Here are some rules in order to qualify:
-Don't rate everything the same rating (this would lead me to assume you didn't listen to anything).
-You will only get credit for songs that you earned CP from (you can see how many you've been credited for in the 'Song Rating' section on your Contributions Page).
-Songs must be at least 15 seconds long to count to prevent users from rating tons of jingles and sound effects.
-There must be a 25 second gap in between rating songs to prevent users rating random songs without listening to them.
-Only ratings made on and after 6/14/2016 count.
-This offer ends June 30th.
Here's how much Viz I'll give you guys based on how many songs you rate:
+25 Songs = 10,000 Viz
+50 Songs = 25,000 Viz
+100 Songs = 60,000 Viz
Tips:
-If you have a preference on game system then search for games based on system
-You can find collections of songs by searching through user playlists
Once you've rated enough songs to qualify you for Viz, be sure to let me know in the following thread and I'll send you the Viz. Keep in mind that you'll also be automatically earning CP and Viz when you rate these songs so you'll be getting my bonus Viz on top of the regular Viz.

It's awesome to see so many returning users using the Vizzed Market after I sent out the emails to users who had enough Viz to afford games in the Market. I first wanted to welcome you all back and briefly go over some of the big things that have taken place on the site over the past few years. I'm hoping you guys consider sticking around
Video Game Music Room
This is a feature that launched nearly 6 months ago and has been
Video Game Room
This has been in slow development over the course of many years. The ultimate goal of the Video Game Room is to provide graphics and content for every game ever made. It also has a few sub pages including a Video Game Characters page and a fancy all graphic Video Game Navigator.
Retro Game Room
This is what brought most of you here so you're all likely familiar with it. However, there's been a lot that has been added to this over the years. There's been 1000s of new games added, lots of new features and lots of new game systems which include Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, PlayStation (currently only available to users with the PlayStation item) and lots of others.
New Vizzed Code and Look
Over the past year I've been working on recreating the site code from the ground up in order to make the site faster, easier to use, search engine friendly, more secure, offers more customization, optimized code means it's easier/quicker for me to develop new features, mobile friendly and so much more. There's still a lot of pages that need to be migrated to the new site code but for the pages that have been, they function a lot better and have a lot more features.
Netplay
This allows you to play with other users online in almost any game for the following systems: Nintendo NES, Super Nintendo, N64 (buggy), MAME (requires port configuration), Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, TurboGrafx, SuperGrafx, TurboGrafx CD, PC-FX and the Sony PlayStation (and it works great). To create a session, you simply go to a game's page, scroll half way down to the netplay section and click the 'Click here to Start a New Netplay Session with Mednafen' link. To join a session, go to the Netplay Lobby.
Vizzed Market
The New Vizzed Market just launched a few weeks ago and not only does it completely
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94501
Feel free to sell your unused codes in the Market. I usually add 30+ games and 200+ codes each day and I still have 1000s of codes for 100s of games to add so be sure to check out the Digital section of the Vizzed Market daily. If you need help earning some more Viz, you can find lots of ways in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=78350
There's a lot of things that I missed but I wanted to keep this somewhat brief in order to not bore anyone away lol. I've also got loads of awesome new features coming soon and I've got big plans for big features before the year ends (including a Battle Arena).
If anyone has any questions or feedback, let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94803
A few days ago I made an update which no longer allowed users to play games until they disabled their ad block for Vizzed.com (since the ad blocks are literally killing this site). Since making that thread, I've decided to not make this a requirement in order to play games in the Retro Game Room. Instead I'm going to have it so that users get a reminder once in a while to disable their Ad Block for Vizzed if they have it enabled. I'm hoping this is a compromise that everyone can agree with.
For questions, feedback or more information, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94696
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94691
It's that time again folks! We've got a spot to fill and we want you!
Well, not all of you but some of you, or one of you, or 3 of you. I haven't really decided.
However, the point is this - there is at least 1 local mod position open right now and if you want a chance at it go to the thread I linked to to find out how to apply.
Good luck!
Starting this month, all winners of Vizzed competitions and tournaments will earn a trophy item that they'll be able to display on their profile. Users will also be permanently added to a Hall of Fame page (coming soon).

On Tuesday, 5/31/2016, from 4 - 7 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the TurboGrafx Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of 250,000 Viz and $250 worth of Steam Games. The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be literally 100s of steam games that winners will be able to pick from.
If you can only show up for a little while that's fine.

Recreating the forum pages from the ground up using the new site code was a bigger project than I had expected and took a lot longer but it turned out far better than I had planned and I ended up doing even more with it than I originally planned. Since I put 75+ hours into this, you can imagine that there's a lot to mention regarding the new changes so I'll try and break my post down into each of the big changes and I'll try to keep it as brief as I can. You can read about all of the changes here:

2 months ago I announced a new feature which allowed anyone to load any game rom that they owned or had access to from this page:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/yourgames.php
A lot of users had questions on how to use it so I wrote up detailed instructions which you can find here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94123
I also recorded a demonstration on how to use it which you can watch here:

Lieutenant Vicktz recently launched his own rom site becoming the first Vizzed affiliated site to use the RGR Plugin. The purpose of his website is to provide users a simple way to play game roms that they own on their computer in the browser without having to configure anything. It'll also allow anyone who has already played a game on Vizzed to continue playing that same game on his website and it'll even load their save files as long as they're logged into Vizzed.
The site can be found here:
Play.Rom.Online
It's still in development and is currently limited to certain systems but he'll work on adding stuff to it depending on how much traffic it gets.
If anyone else has their own website that they'd like to use the RGR Plugin on, feel free to contact me and we can work something out.

We also have a seasonal Minecraft competition going on which ends when spring ends.
Spring 2016 Vizzed Minecraft Server Competition
See who can build the best video game structure on the Vizzed server

You can earn up to US $50 or 200,000 Viz or Your Own World in the above competition!
I'm giving anyone who wants access to play PlayStation games on Vizzed an opportunity to earn the PlayStation item. Normally you'd have to spend 50,000 Viz for the PlayStation item in the Item Shop in order to get access to the nearly 2500 PS1 games that Vizzed has available.
Here's how this will work. Send me 5000 Viz and I'll let you "rent" the PlayStation item for 1 month. If you do any of the below requirements, you get to keep it!
There are a few reasons why I can't give every user access to PlayStation games but the primary reason is that it'd suck up a lot of bandwidth and bandwidth usage costs me money. The server fees for this site and for hosting the PS1 games is already expensive and PS1 games are pretty large in file size (10-20 times larger than N64 games). So the best way to limit how many users are playing PS1 games is by unfortunately forcing users to earn it.
Requirements to Keep it:
-Write 3 Reviews of PS1 games of at least 2000 Words (should have good spelling/grammar)
-Write 6 Reviews of PS1 games of at least 1000 Words (should have good spelling/grammar)
-Do 15 hours worth of PS1 netplay multiplayer with other users
-Stream 20 hours worth of PS1 games to Twitch or Hitbox *
-Stream 10 hours worth of PS1 games while netplaying with other users *
-Submit 10 hours worth of PS1 gameplay videos to the Vizzed YouTube Channel (should have little idle time)
-Take a total of 120 screenshots among 12 different PS1 games (screenshots should be unique from each other)
-Write 2 Walkthroughs for PS1 games of at least 2,500 Words each
-Write 1 Walkthrough of at least 5,000 Words for a PS1 game
*You'll have to give me proof by archiving your stream videos. You'll also have to make sure that Vizzed.com is being advertised in both the stream video and the stream page itself.
If you want to do a combination of more than 1 option from the above list, let me know and we can work something out. If you want a suggestion on which one to pick then I'd suggest the 'Stream 10 hours worth of PS1 games while netplaying' since that's probably the quickest one to do and also because I would like to see more users netplaying PS1 games, especially since there are just so many good multiplayer games for the system.
You can find all of the PlayStation games in the Retro Game Room here:
https://www.vizzed.com/play-psx/
This offer ends once your 1 month rental expires. You can rent it a 2nd time for an additional 5000 Viz if you need more time to fulfill one of the above requirements. To send me Viz, go to my profile here and then scroll half way down the page until you see the 'Send Davideo7 Viz!' section.
If you have any questions or feedback, let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=93757
Vizzed has gone through a lot over the past few months. Nintendo had me take down 100s of their games, Vizzed was temporarily flagged by Google and the site's traffic and revenue have taken some big drops. I just wanted to take this time to say Thank You to those who have stuck around and stayed loyal to Vizzed during this time!
I also want to say thanks to everyone who supported the site in various ways during this time either by donating, continuing to add content to the site, helping me advertise the site and by simply coming here every day.
But I feel like saying thanks isn't good enough though. You all have invested so much time into this site and have given so much to this awesome community so I wanted to take this opportunity to give back to the community by offering everyone who is interested a free steam game. I've been buying steam game codes for well over a year and it's time to start putting some of them to use.
All you have to do is respond to the below thread letting me know which steam game you want (1 per a user) and I'll try and send you the code within 24 hours. Be sure to request a game that hasn't already been requested (you can take a look at the previous requests since my last post in this thread but I'll try and

Earlier this month I made an offer for users where if they donated this month, they'd get double the Viz they'd normally get for donating.

You can earn up to US $25 or 50,000 Viz in the above competitions!
You can now load and play any game rom for any emulator here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/yourgames.php
You can load games from your computer or from external URLs. This page allows you to play any game for any of the supported systems, whether Vizzed has it or not. Using this page you can also access game systems that may not even be available to you as long as you have a copy of the game. This page is accessible to everyone without restrictions, even guests. Loading games manually means no Viz charges either.
If you load up a game into the plugin that is currently available on the site or previously available on the site, the page will try to find the game in the database that matches the file name and if it finds a match, the play game page will have additional details and info (such as documenting what you're playing, finding the best settings for the game, giving you access to a chat room for the game, allowing you to submit screenshots to that game's page, etc). Also, if you play a game you've previously played, your save file should still be accessible.
Forgive me for loading the page with ads. With the things that have gone on lately, the site's ad revenue is going to take a huge hit and I need to find ways to make up for it, especially since I need the budget to get more features and systems added to the RGR Plugin and the site.
If you have any questions suggestions or feedback, please let me know in this thread:

I've been contacted by a lawyer representing Nintendo of America Inc. and I've been given a list of games that had to be removed from Vizzed. 2,196 games have been removed from Nintendo systems which include Nintendo NES, Super Nintendo, Virtual Boy, Famicom Disk System, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color and Nintendo N64. You can find a full list of removed games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=93240
I'm not sure what I'll be doing now that the games which were responsible for the site's primary traffic and revenue are removed but I've got a few options that I'll be looking into and hopefully I'll have a solution of some sort by next week.

In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points. Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
This is the 3rd year in a row we've had a Bomberman '94 tournament. Here are the top 5 results from each of the previous 2 years:
2015: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Foxyman1113, 3rd. Linkums, 4th. deg2000, 5th. lilwildwolf21
2014: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon
Requirements:
-You must be available 2 nights a week between 7 PM - 9 PM central time Tuesday-Friday nights
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 200,000 Viz or $100
2nd = 100,000 Viz or $50
3rd = 50,000 Viz or $25
4th = 25,000 Viz
5th = 10,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, March 28th.

The Flash Emulator 'NESBox' has been added to the Retro Game Room for the following systems:
-Nintendo NES
-Super Nintendo
-Sega Genesis *
-Game Boy
-Game Boy Color
-Game Boy Advance *
* Systems that didn't previously have a non-RGR plugin emulator available
This is the first Flash emulator to be added to the Retro Game Room so it's a great alternative for those who have issues with Java and can't use the RGR Plugin. It runs great for all of the systems but it does have audio issues for the Game Boy systems (and you can simply use the emulator's mute if it's annoying). I'm sure this emulator will be updated occasionally so when it is, I'll be sure to update ours as soon as possible.
The emulator has some nice features including:
-Save States and Load States
-Full Screen
-Mute
-Ability to change controls
-Controller Support (using Adobe AIR and NESBox Companion)

I spent a good portion of the day upgrading the Vizzed.co Minecraft Server to 1.9. The reason it took so long was because the current server build was having issues and those issues were probably caused with the various things that have gone wrong with the server in the past. So after many attempts at failed upgrades, I basically decided to rebuild the entire server from the ground up and then transfer over various files and settings to the new build. Because of this, the server may also run a little better than it use to run.
For those who don't know, the IP address of the Vizzed Minecraft Server is:
Vizzed.co

I've added a new Contribution Point Action titled 'Character Bio'. This action is for writing Character Biographies and Information which go in the new Game Characters forum.
To create Biography or Information thread for a video game character, find the video game character you want to write one for in the Video Game Characters feature and then click the 'Write a Biography' link found on the character's page (to find a character you first have to click the franchise the belong in but if you can't find their franchise then they might be in the NO FRANCHISE section. All biographies for a character will appear on the character's page.
Before the only way you could write a biography for a character was by editing the character's page and only staff members were able to do that. Not only that but there wasn't a specific action for it and the payout wasn't adjusted properly and it was just inconvenient having to write up a fancy biography in such a small little box and the bio writer didn't get credit.
The payout for a 'Character Bio' is the same as Articles and Reviews, which is 0.05 CP and 5 Viz per a word (but with no base charge). The daily limit is higher than those actions. You can read more about the action and its daily limits here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/contributionpoints.php
As a test, I wrote up a few test biographies so that you can see it in action here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/character.php?id=791
and here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/forum.php?id=139
I'm hoping this new action and the new forum encourage users to write up Biographies and Information threads for various video game characters.

As some of you know, Vizzed has been struggling financially over the past year after it took some huge traffic drops and now that January and February have come along (which are already the worst months financially out of the entire year), things are even worst financially. What's even worst on top of that is having to pay taxes this time of year and being self employed (since my income depends on the site's revenue) means that I have to pay in money to the government and it's usually a lot (I don't have the luxury of getting a nice tax return every year). I've been able to get site fees down a little over the past few months but they're still $1000+ a month.
If you have any money to spare, even if it's as little as $10, the donations would be hugely appreciated. If you can donate a big amount, that'd be fantastic but if you can only afford $10 then that's fine too since it adds up. If for example 100 users donated $10 each, that'd be $1000 right there which would help out greatly (and the majority of users most likely can afford $10, that's like the price of what some people spend on junk food in a week). My job is this site which allows me to work on this site full time (sometimes as much as 60-80 hours a week) so I don't really have any other source if income besides selling my possessions.
Interested in Donating? If so, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php
Earn Up to 1 Million Viz for Donating!
From now until the end of the month, users will earn double the Viz from donating! So here's how much you'll now earn from donations:
$10 = 20,000 Viz
$25 = 60,000 Viz
$50 = 150,000 Viz
$100 = 350,000 Viz
$250 = 1,000,000 Viz
(I recently already permanently increased Viz payout for donations)
Why donate besides helping the site out financially?
Well donating grants you lots of Viz and lots of Viz can get you access to lots of nice items in the Item Shop. For 10,000 Viz you can get the Beta Test Ticket which grants you access to games, systems and features before they go public. For 25,000 Viz you can get access to the V-Machine item which allows you to play all games without paying extra Viz for them. For 50,000 Viz you can get the PlayStation item which gives you access to play 2500+ PlayStation games on Vizzed. There are lots of other things you can spend Viz on and I've got lots of additional items that will be added to the item shop in the upcoming weeks. Also, if you're feeling really generous, if you make the top

Don't have PayPal?
If you don't have PayPal but still want to donate, you can donate in any other way that you can (and you can even donate your unused games as seen here). I'll still add you to the donations list and you'll also still get the CP and Viz from doing so. Keep in mind that PayPal allows people with Credit Cards but no PayPal account to donate. If you don't have PayPal or a Credit Card but still want to donate, let me know of ways that you are able to in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=93010
Don't have money to donate but still want to help out?
There are lots of ways to help out the site even if you don't have money. You can tell your friends about Vizzed, you can tell everyone on your facebook about Vizzed, you can submit content to the site, etc. You can also help out the site in a ton of ways mentioned in my Help out Vizzed thread so if you can't help out financially, please consider doing everything in this thread:

On Monday, 2/29/2016, from 4 - 8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Nintendo NES Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of 250,000 Viz and $250 worth of Steam Games. The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle.
This music competition and all future music competition and streams will be completely different than the ones before this so if you haven't checked out a music stream in a while, before sure to check this one out since it'll be handled a lot differently.

The Java Emulated games in the Retro Game Room had been down since a server migration that took place about 2 1/2 months ago but now all of these systems are back up.
The following systems have Java (or Flash) emulators available:
-Nintendo NES
-Super Nintendo (Flash)
-Game Boy
-Game Boy Color
-Sega Master System
-Sega Game Gear
-Atari 2600
-Commodore 64
-Apple II
For those who don't know, these emulators run without having to install anything extra. As long as you have the latest version of Java or Flash installed, they'll play which means they'll play on any operating system. Some browsers require that you manually approve the various Vizzed servers in order to play the games.
Java Security May Prevent Games From Working
Most likely Java is being blocked which prevents you from playing the games. You'll have to add Vizzed.net, Vizzed.co and Vizzed.com to the list of sites that you're approving. For information on how to do this, go here:

For information, refer to the previous announcement.
As a way to celebrate Pokemon's 20th Anniversary this month, djinn8345, foxyman1113 and I will be streaming Pokemon games probably every Thursday from 2 PM - 4 PM (central time zone) for the rest of the month starting this Thursday.
This Thursday (2/11/2016) we'll be playing Pokemon games on the Game Boy Advance in a competitive type stream. Basically we'll be playing through a few games for probably a half hour each to see who can get the highest score or the furthest (depending on the game).
Next Thursday (2/18/2016) we'll probably be playing Pokemon X & Y for the 3DS as well as Smash Bros for the 3DS (probably do primarily Pokemon matches). Since it'll be the 3 of us, we'll be looking for users to join us to fill in the 4th slot so anyone interested who has these games can play with us (and if you have Skype, you can join our voice call).
I'm not sure what we'll be doing on the final Thursday of this month but when and if we decide on something, I'll be sure to post it here.
I'll be co-hosting the stream on djinn8345's twitch channel here:

On Friday, 1/29/2016, from 4 - 7 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Modern Video Game Music Competition. Around 30 seconds before each song is done, I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of 200,000 Viz and $200 Steam Games to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.
If you can't stick around for the entire thing that's fine but it'd be cool if you could stop by and hang out in the chat for however long you can. It's usually a lot of fun chatting with vizzed users, talking about video games and listening to awesome video game music.
This will probably be the last time I host a music stream and competition like this. All future music competitions and streams will be a bit different.

The Video Game Music feature has come a long way since it launched about a month ago which you can read about here. The Video Game Music can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/music.php
The feature is nearly at 60,000 songs and since there are a ton of songs that need ratings, I'm offer Viz again to those who help out by rating songs. All you have to do is find songs that are good and rate them. Look up songs that you know are good, search the internet for suggestions on what songs are good or search for songs based on system, keywords, etc. If you come across Bad songs or OK songs then feel free to rate them Bad or OK but this offer is for finding good songs and rating them good which means only songs that you rate a 4 or 5 will count. DO NOT RATE RANDOM SONGS, I will be looking through the songs you all rate to make sure you didn't pick random songs!
Here's how much Viz I'll give you guys based on how many songs you rate:
+25 Songs = 5,000 Viz
+50 Songs = 15,000 Viz
+100 Songs = 50,000 Viz
Rating Super Nintendo songs will not count for this offer since I already had an offer for SNES. Songs for all other systems count though!
Once you've rated enough songs to qualify you for Viz, be sure to let me know in the below thread and I'll send you the Viz. Keep in mind that you'll also be automatically earning CP and Viz when you rate these songs so you'll be getting my bonus Viz on top of the regular Viz.

Video Game Song Request
Are there any soundtracks you'd like for us to upload? Submit your requests to the below thread and we'll work on getting it added as soon as we can. You can request a soundtrack for just about any system. However, I'll be adding just about every song for every game for GBA, N64, Genesis, SMS, NES, GB, GBC and TG over the next few months and I'll be working on them in a specific order so any songs requested for those systems may not get added right away.

The Winter Netplay tournament on Vizzed has had the same format ever since it began 2 years ago but for the first time we're doing a system that isn't the Nintendo NES; we're finally doing the Super NES.
Here's how it works. Everyone starts out in the "winners" bracket and if you lose, you go on to the "losers" bracket and if you lose in the losers bracket, you're out of the tournament. At the very end, the winner of the winners bracket and the winner of the losers bracket play each other but the winner of the losers bracket has to beat the winner of the winners bracket twice (this makes it fair to the user who went undefeated for going undefeated).
Since this is a double elimination tournament, there is no way for me to know how long it'll last since the amount of people who sign up determines how long it'll last but if I were to take a guess, I'd say around 6 weeks. I will allow any number of users to join but we will need an even number. Bye weeks may be handed out to users who do very well if needed in order to balance out the structuring of the brackets.
We'll be playing various multiplayer games for the Super Nintendo. In each weekly matchup, you'll be able to pick which games you want to play against your weekly opponent. Some of those games include Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter II, Ms. Pac-Man, Super Bomberman 5, NBA Jam, Micro Machines 2, and more. The goal is to have 1 or 2 games from each of the major genres and each game should only take between 5-15 minutes (so games like Monopoly are out of the question). If you want to recommend additional games for this tournament, do so in this thread https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=91734
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-SNES Netplay must work fine for you
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = US $50 or 100,000 Viz
2nd = US $25 or 50,000 Viz
3rd = US $10 or 20,000 Viz
4th = 10,000 Viz
5th = 5,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Penalty:
If you fail to play 2 or more of your matches, you'll be added to the netplay ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament for at least a year. You'll also have 10,000 Viz deducted from your account.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, January 11th (or once we get 128 users).

The PlayStation item is 50,000 Viz and it gives you access to play nearly 2,500 PlayStation games. We have just about every PS1 game ever made on the site and also a lot of rare unreleased stuff as well. The games play great and the majority of the games work! Below you'll find a few ways that you can quickly earn that 50,000 Viz today (be sure to click the links for more information). Even if you already have the PlayStation item, you can still do these offers if you want to earn lots of Viz.

This thread has tons of different ways that I'm offering users to earn Viz simply by helping out Vizzed.

Star My Levels in Super Mario Maker = 20,000 Viz
This offer requires access to the Super Mario Maker game but has a huge payout and requires very little time. Even if you've done this before, there are new levels added that you can star for more Viz.
Vizzed Market Forum
This forum has tons of threads created by various users and myself allowing anyone to earn lots of Viz.
Donating
Of course the quickest way to earn Viz is by donating to the site. The site has been struggling financially for a while now and I've been having troubles keeping up with paying the RGR Plugin developer. You can earn 10,000 Viz for each US $10 that you donate so if you have anything to spare, please consider it.
Submitting Site Content
You can earn both Viz and CP when you submit various forms of content to the site.
If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know in this thread:

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It's not quite Christmas yet but I always like to make sure everyone in all time zones get this before Christmas.
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to Vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'. Be sure to visit the site each day to claim your random Viz gift!
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
The Retro Game Room has 70+ Christmas games. You can find them all here:

Christmas Video Game Music
I put together a playlist of Christmas songs that I found in the Video Game Music feature which I recently added to the website here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/music.php?playlist=4#player1?catid=0&trackid=0
Earn an easy 2500 Viz
A few years ago I put together a video highlighting 12 Christmas games (non hacked):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbh8UIMMj8
I'll give you 2500 Viz for liking and commenting on the above YouTube video. Let me know in the below thread once you've done this.
Tell your friends about the site and earn lots of Viz
From now until the end of the year, if you refer 10 people to the site, I'll give you 50,000 Viz on top of the 5000+ Viz that you'll automatically get for referring them (enough for the PlayStation item which grants you access to PlayStation games). In other words, you'll earn 50,000+ Viz for referring 10 of your friends to the site. There's a ton of kids on Christmas break, a lot of them may be looking for something to do, why not introduce them to Vizzed? Once you've referred the users (and they've registered), let me know in the below thread.
Christmas Streams
There's going to be a few users doing live streams of Christmas games over the next few days, possibly including myself. You can find a list of Twitch Streamers on Vizzed here:

The Christmas Themed Layout Competition has come to an end and is now ready for everyone to vote on what they think is the best Christmas layout! All you have to do is reply to this thread with ratings for each layout that was submitted to the thread on a scale from 1-5.
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=91283&pl=1227822
On Wednesday, 12/23/2015, from 5 - 7 PM (central time zone), I'll be hosting a Christmas themed stream which will involve rating submissions to the Christmas Music Competition, Mario Paint Christmas 2 Competition, and Christmas Minecraft Competition.
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of 200,000 Viz and $200 worth of Steam Games to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the raffles, all you have to do is vote on the submissions of the various Christmas competitions. You can find a list of selectable steam games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=91602
If you can't stick around for the entire thing that's fine but it'd be cool if you could stop by and hang out in the chat for however long you can. It's usually a lot of fun chatting with vizzed users, talking about video games and listening to awesome video game music.

The netplay lobby and the chat rooms are back up. Due to the server migration I did recently (which you can read about here), it resulted into the chat room having to start over again and me having to set it up again.
It needs a lot of configuring and it also needs staff to be assigned as mods. Globals and Admins should PM me the password they'd like to use so that I can set them up their accounts.
The Minecraft server has been working with the IP Vizzed.co for the past few days now but I figured I'd mention it for those who didn't know it was back up and running.
Most other site services should be functioning properly again but if not, please be sure to let me know right away in this thread:

Win $75 in Vizzed Minecraft Competition
The Autumn Minecraft Competition has barely any submissions so far so there's still a huge opportunity for users to walk away with cash prizes by creating anything Christmas themed on the Vizzed Minecraft Server. The competition ends on December 23rd and has a $75, $25 and $10 cash prize. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90649
NOTE: The MC server has been down for the past few days but is back up under the IP of 162.214.2.210. You'll be able to get on using the IP Vizzed.co within the next few days but for the time being, log on to the server using 162.214.2.210.
The site has only received $40 worth of donations over the past 30 days and that's the small donation amount in a 30 day period the site has ever received in the past 3+ years. Without donations, the site has no ability to expand in ways that I'd like and that also leaves me with no budget to get RGR Plugin updates.
Thanks to everyone's donations from a few months ago, we were able to get Google Chrome support added to the RGR Plugin in version 2.40. Thanks to tom760's willingness to do some work for me for free on the plugin, we were able to get Windows XP support added in version 2.41. Even if you can only donate $10, every little bit helps out and if enough users donate small amounts, it adds up.
What RGR Plugin Features Do You Want?
To help me prioritize what should be added next, please vote in the poll in this thread (multi-voting is enabled) and also feel free to respond with any feedback.
Benefits of Donating
-Access to PlayStation games with the PlayStation item for 50,000 Viz
-Access to beta systems with the Beta Test Ticket for 10,000 Viz
-Faster game downloads with the Game Accelerator for 15,000 Viz
-And many other features obtainable from the site's Item Shop

If you can't afford to donate money, you can donate games as seen here:

Breakdown of all the possible new features if we get enough donations
More Systems to support Video Recording
Most of the game systems on vizzed allow you to press a single button and record your gameplay but not every system support it. N64, Sega CD and a few others don't currently support it.
Ability to have 2 plugin instances at the same time
This would allow you to have 2 instances of the RGR Plugin open at the same time. Now it would require a fast computer to have 2 instances open at the same time but this would basically allow you and another user to see eachother's games. You'd be playing in your game in your instance and you'd be able to see their game in their instance. This would be great for if you want to play through a single player game with someone else, show someone how to do something or race each other to see who can beat the game the fastest in real time.
Add DOS Games
This would allow us to add those old PC games known as DOS games. So basically most PC games released between 1981 and 1995 (and some between 1995-2000) would be capable of being added to the site.
Upgraded Plugin Architecture for External System Loading
This Plugin architecture upgrade would allow the plugin to load systems on demand. This would allow the plugin to be only 1 MB and basically each time you play a system for the first time, that systems files would download when you go to play that game. The huge benefit to this would be that it'd allow us to

This is a surprise feature I've been working on for the past few weeks that I've only told a few users about and it's already mostly finished! Vizzed finally has video game music!
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/music.php
For the time being there's only Super Nintendo songs but I do plan to continue adding more systems over the course of a few months and I may even open up a staff application asking for users to help out.
If you want to view a soundtrack for a single game, every game that has a soundtrack available will have a link to the soundtrack from its game page in both the RGR and VGR.
Here are some features that I've added so far:
-Ability to rate songs (earn 50 Viz & 0.5 CP per a song)
-Ability to create playlists (250-500 Viz & 2.5 CP - 5 when rated)
-Ability to rate playlists (earn 100 Viz & 1 CP)
-Plenty of stats
-Lots of search and filter features
-Ability to playlist page look from 'Edit Page' link (this is in beta so be careful)
-Player itself has lots of features like shuffle, loop, search within, etc
-The feature works great on mobile devices like tablets and cell phones
Features I plan to add in the near future:
-More searching and navigation features
-Ability to
-Ability to see what songs you rated
-Ability to comment on songs
-Playlist editing features including:
--Ability to manually sort the songs
--Ability to have songs ordered based on name, rating, length, etc
--Ability to change how the music player functions and looks on your playlist page
--Ability to rename your playlist
Earn up to 50,000 Viz
I need as many good songs rated as possible so that users can find highly rated songs making it easier to find great songs. I'm willing to pay out lots of Viz to users who rate songs that they like. You can either go through random songs seeing what you like, look up songs that you know you like or do research on the internet to find highly rated songs and then find those songs in this feature and rate them. However you go about this, DO NOT RATE RANDOM SONGS without knowing what they sound like. The last thing I want is for users to go through and mess up the rating system by just picking random songs and giving them a random rating. Only songs that you rate a 4 or 5 will count. I will be looking through the songs you all rate to make sure you didn't pick random songs!
Here's how much Viz I'll give you guys based on how many songs you rate:
+25 Songs = 5,000 Viz
+50 Songs = 15,000 Viz
+100 Songs = 50,000 Viz
Once you've rated enough songs to qualify you for Viz, be sure to let me know in the below thread and I'll send you the Viz. Keep in mind that you'll also be automatically earning CP and Viz when you rate these songs so you'll be getting my bonus Viz on top of the regular Viz.

The report abuse function has been renamed to report post. The function itself has not changed but hopefully the name change will make it more obvious as to its use.

Chat Rooms Back Up
The Chat Rooms are back up which also includes the netplay lobby. Unfortunately I was unable to transfer the files from the old server to the new server for some reason. I invested a few hours into this with no luck. This basically means that all of the chat room settings have been reset and all user chat room stats have been reset. The accumulated chat room minutes on your profile are still the same.
The staff are in the process of trying to get the chat room back to how it was. We'll be trying to adjust the settings to match the old settings over the next few days and we'll also be adding back some of the old rooms. The chat room may run better now and be more stable.
Vizzed Minecraft Server Back Up
The Vizzed Minecraft Server is up and running again. Nothing was lost and the server should definitely be faster and more stable (of course your own computer's performance ultimately determines how well it runs).
I've also launched the Autumn Minecraft Competition which is Christmas themed so be sure to take a look at that for a chance at some nice prizes: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90649
File downloads for non-CD games and some CD games should be faster over the next few days. I'm not sure whether this will be a permanent change or not but most likely these speeds will only be temporary (and eventually exclusive to staff members and users with the download accelerator).
I've still got a few more things to take care of but I'll be taking care of those things later this week. Those additional things include adding and removing netplay servers, fixing various things that need to be fixed due to the transfer and adjusting how and where the files are retrieved.

All CD games should now work! PC-FX, Turbo Grafx CD, CDi and Sega CD were transferred and made available again sometime yesterday. The transferring of Sega Saturn took place around 36 hours ago and was just made live now. PlayStation was made available again a few days ago which I posted an announcement about already.
The Vizzed Minecraft Server, Chat Rooms and a few other services will most likely be available tomorrow. The migration of those services takes some custom configuration which can be a little time consuming. The Minecraft Server files have all been transferred and extracted but for some reason I still can't get it to work; I'll continue looking into the issue tomorrow and will hopefully have it working again.
Over the next few days I'll also be making some adjustments to how the Game Accelerator item works. I'll also be adding 1 or 2 new netplay servers and taking down 1 or 2 of the current (hopefully the new ones run better).
Thanks again for everyone's patience and please be sure to take a look at my previous announcements if you haven't already. If you have any questions or feedback, please post it here:

PlayStation games are finished transferring and are available to be played again! Well technically some of the games have been available for a while since the games have been transferring for the past few days but they're basically almost all finished transferring now.
The transferring of the other CD games will begin tonight and will probably take until Sunday to finish transferring. The next CD system that I'll be working on will probably be the Sega Saturn so you can probably expect them to become available again Saturday night.
The main Chat Rooms are still down (including the Netplay Lobby chat) but I'll hopefully get them back up over the next 2-3 days. The Vizzed Minecraft server is still down since I'm having troubles transferring it over to the new server due to the size. There are probably a few other lesser known services that I'm forgetting to mention that are still down but I'll be sure to let everyone know as I get each down service back up.
Again, I apologize for all of the inconveniences lately and as a way to make it up to everyone, PlayStation games will be available to everyone for 0 Viz for the rest of the month. For more information on that, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90586
My host finally got back to me with instructions on how I can fix the problem myself but it's kinda too late since I'm already in the process of migrating the file server to a new host. The full migration could take anywhere between a few days to an entire week but I'll focus on finding solutions in the mean time to bring up some of the other services quicker. Here's a break down of the possible benefits:
-Faster Game Downloads
-Faster and more reliable Minecraft Server
-Faster and more reliable Chat Room
-A new netplay server which could be faster and more reliable than the current
-Enough space to potentially add more CD systems in the future without having to worry about upgrading
2 services that I was able to bring back up today include the game chat (and netplay chat) and the cometchat bar (for those who have access to it). Those services were previously hosted on the vizzed.co server but I've moved them to the vizzed.com server and after doing so, they actually function so much better now (response time is amazing)! When the new vizzed.co server is set up, I'll be placing those services back on vizzed.co but if it doesn't run as well on the new server compared to how well it currently is running, then I may just leave it on the vizzed.com server.
In the mean time, I'm going to try and get the CD systems up and running within the next few days. I apologize for the delay and I appreciate everyone's patience (those who had patience anyway). This was so sudden and completely out of my control.
If you have any questions or feedback or just want to stay up to date, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90494
One of the Vizzed servers are currently inaccessible which means the following services are unavailable:
-Most CD systems *
-The Game Chat
-Chat Rooms
-Vizzed Minecraft Server
-Cometchat Bar
*Most CD systems includes PlayStation, Sega CD, Turbo Grafx CD, Sega Saturn, CD-i and PC-FX. Dreamcast games will work since they're located on a different server.
All of the games were previously down for any staff member and user with the Download Accelerator all morning but I just made it so that all files are being downloaded from one of the still working servers but our CD systems aren't located on that server which is why I wasn't able to bring back up the CD systems.
The issue is a DNS related issue. I've been working on the issue and this server is 1 of 2 servers that I still host with Godaddy. I spent quite a while on the phone talking with grumpy tech support and they weren't able to help me resolve the issue. I'll hopefully have it taken care of within the next 24-48 hours.

The PlayStation item is currently 30,000 Viz for the rest of the month as you can see here. Once the month ends, the item will go back to the regular price of 50,000 Viz.
The PlayStation item on Vizzed gives you access to play nearly 2500 PlayStation games without having to spend any additional Viz. We have just about every PS1 game ever made on the site and also a lot of rare unreleased stuff as well. The games play great and the majority of the games work! Below you'll find a few ways that you can quickly earn that 30,000 Viz today (be sure to click the links for more information). Even if you already have the PlayStation item, you can still do these offers if you want to earn lots of Viz.
Rate my Super Mario Maker Levels = 9,000 Viz
This should take no more than 15 minutes of your time!
Star My Levels in Super Mario Maker = 18,000 Viz
This offer requires access to the Super Mario Maker game but has a huge payout and requires very little time.

This thread has tons of different ways that I'm offering users to earn Viz simply by helping out Vizzed.
Vizzed Market Forum
This forum has tons of threads created by various users and myself allowing anyone to earn lots of Viz.
Donating
Of course the quickest way to earn Viz is by donating to the site. The site has been struggling financially for a while now and I've been having troubles keeping up with paying the RGR Plugin developer. You can earn 10,000 Viz for each US $10 that you donate so if you have anything to spare, please consider it.
Submitting Site Content
You can earn both Viz and CP when you submit various forms of content to the site.

Vizzed RGR Plugin 2.40 is ready for download! This is the first official non-beta release to fully support Google Chrome after Google Chrome discontinued NPAPI plugins. In other words, if you use Google Chrome, this plugin upgrade should allow you to play RGR Plugin games without any problems.
For all browsers, this release also contains a ton of bug fixes, should run smoother and should also start up faster. This release most likely will become a mandatory download in order to play RGR Plugin games eventually.
Download RGR Plugin 2.40

On Tuesday, 9/29/2015, from 5 - 8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the NEC Music Competition. Around 30 seconds before each song is done, I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $200 worth of steam games and/or 200,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the cash and Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.
If you win a raffle, you get to choose whether you want the Viz prize or whether you want to pick a steam game from a list of steam games which I'll provide sometime before the event begins. If you can't stick around for the entire thing that's fine but it'd be cool if you could stop by and hang out in the chat for however long you can. It's usually a lot of fun chatting with vizzed users, talking about video games and listening to awesome video game music.

Breakdown of all the possible new features if we get enough donations
More Systems to support Video Recording
Most of the game systems on vizzed allow you to press a single button and record your gameplay but not every system support it. N64, Sega CD and a few others don't currently support it.
Ability to have 2 plugin instances at the same time
This would allow you to have 2 instances of the RGR Plugin open at the same time. Now it would require a fast computer to have 2 instances open at the same time but this would basically allow you and another user to see eachother's games. You'd be playing in your game in your instance and you'd be able to see their game in their instance. This would be great for if you want to play through a single player game with someone else, show someone how to do something or race each other to see who can beat the game the fastest in real time.
Add DOS Games
This would allow us to add those old PC games known as DOS games. So basically most PC games released between 1981 and 1995 (and some between 1995-2000) would be capable of being added to the site.
Upgraded Plugin Architecture for External System Loading
This Plugin architecture upgrade would allow the plugin to load systems on demand. This would allow the plugin to be only 1 MB and basically each time you play a system for the first time, that systems files would download when you go to play that game. The huge benefit to this would be that it'd allow us to

2015 Summer Teams Tournament Final Matchup at 5 PM Central Time on Thursday, 9/10/2015
The Teams Netplay Tournament which started back in July will come to an end tomorrow in the final matchup! It'll be the 'Muddled Valorous Punks' vs the undefeated 'Vizzéteers'. The 'Muddled Valorous Punks' consists of Zlinqx and Vanelan while the Vizzéteers consists of Davideo7, Foxyman1113 and lilwildwolf21.
The league started with 10 teams for a total of 22 users. Some teams had a backup player who could fill in at any time but all games consisted of 2 vs 2. Throughout the entire tournament, there were 3 systems with 3 games per a system and each team each week got to veto 1 system and the games in the remaining system were the games played between those 2 teams that week.
The selected system for the final matchup is Turbo Grafx and the potential games that will played include Final Match Tennis, Bomberman '94 and Moto Roader. It's best out of 3 so if each team wins a game, then all 3 games will be played. Vizzéteers has the higher seed so they'll get to pick which game gets played first. The final matchup will last around 1 hour. The winning team shares the $100 prize and the losing team shares the $50 prize.
The matchup will be live on my Twitch channel here:

The New Vizzed Experience and Why It's Necessary
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=89049
FYI: The site tends to get slow at around 3 AM - 7 AM (central time) due to search engine bot traffic.
Around 10 hours ago the PLAY GAME links on the game pages stopped working for some users. They should be fixed now.
This is something that happened from an update I made to the new game pages which will hopefully go live sometime today.
If you have any questions, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=89282
Does your stream need a boost in traffic? Help me out and I'll help you out in this limited offer!
Here's what I'm offering
Your stream will display in all of the pages of the RGR (excluding game pages) for 2 hours which should drive lots of traffic to your stream during that time. You should be able to see a boost in traffic of up to 50 viewers at a time! You could potentially get a lot of followers as well if your stream is entertaining enough and if you involve your viewers in some way.
Twitch and Hitbox streamers both qualify for this offer. However, for Twitch streamers, I'll also host your channel on my channel during the 2 hours which could potentially get some of my viewers to check out your channel. I've got 355 followers so it could help. You can find my channel here: http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
Restrictions
The times available for you to choose from include any weekday at any time between 1 PM and 1 AM central time. You should give me a notice at least 4 hours in advance (or 12 if your notice takes place between 1 AM and 10 AM central time). This is also first come first serve so if someone claims a time slot before you, you'll have to pick a different time slot.
Requirements
To qualify for this offer, you must play netplay games for the entire 2 hours. You can netplay any game but if possible, I'd prefer it if users netplayed PlayStation and/or MAME games during their stream but you can netplay anything if you want. You can either netplay with viewers, with friends or with anyone willing to join you.
You also need to have the play game frame displayed while you're streaming. The frame shows that the game is being played on vizzed and is self advertisement and the frame also shows people in the chat that you're playing with.
Viz Cost
It'll cost 20,000 Viz to have your stream promoted for 2 hours so you'll want to send that to me from my profile. You can have your stream promoted up to 2 times but if you choose to have it promoted a 2nd time, it'll cost 50,000 Viz. Normally I'd charge way more Viz for this since it basically takes away from ad revenue but since it involves promoting the RGR and netplay, I'm willing to take a loss.
Benefits of Streaming RGR Games
Beyond this offer, there are plenty of benefits to streaming RGR games.
First of all you can earn 3-9 CP and 600-1800 Viz for each hour your stream (depending on your partnership level) and even more if you have a higher CP multiplier. More information can be found on this page: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/contributionpoints.php
Second of all, any time you're streaming an RGR game, your stream will be promoted on the RGR search pages (in that scrolling content area) and also on the stream page. Streaming non-RGR games will also do this for you as well but users who are streaming RGR games get a higher priority over those who don't (which means that if many users are streaming, the RGR game streamers will have their stream shown).
Get Your Stream Added to Vizzed
If you haven't had your stream added to vizzed yet, you can do so by sending me 1000 Viz and responding to this thread: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69017

Djinn8345 (aka lilwildwolf) and I are childhood friends but he moved pretty far away a few years ago so we haven't seen each other since. He's coming back down to our childhood town (where I still live) this week so we thought it'd be fun for him to come over to my house and play some local multiplayer games and stream ourselves doing so. He'll also be bringing his cousin Foxyman1113 with to join in on the fun and this will be the first time him and I have ever met in person.
We'll be mainly focusing on local multiplayer games that vizzed doesn't support netplay on to take advantage of the fact that we'll all be hanging out in real life. Systems will include the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast and games will include Saturn Bomberman and others. I have the VGA Box for my Dreamcast and I also have a SCART cable and adapter for my Saturn so I'll be able play and output those in HD. If you want recommend a game from my personal game collection for us to play, go here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1
The stream will be on Saturday, 8/1/2015, and will begin at 2:30 PM central time. It will be streamed here:

Sign up now to our annual Tecmo Super Bowl tournament. I know our Team tournament just began a few weeks ago but the Tecmo Super Bowl tournaments last the longest of all the tournaments I hold each year since it lasts as long as the NFL season. This year it'll be 4 weeks longer because this time it will begin when the NFL's preseason begins which is August 13th.
Previous Winners:
2014 Winner: MattyIce
2013 Winner: boomer1709
2012 Winner: thubtengendun0
This tournament will last for 24 weeks. The first 4 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate) and it'll also help determine who plays who during the regular games. The next 16 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final matchup which is our Super Bowl.
Since 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2016' wont be released when this tournament begins, we'll be using 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2015' for the first 4 weeks and then we'll be using 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2016' once the regular season begins.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo NES games
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 250,000 Viz
2nd = 100,000 Viz
3rd = 50,000 Viz

Breakdown of all the possible new features if we get enough donations
More Systems to support Video Recording
Most of the game systems on vizzed allow you to press a single button and record your gameplay but not every system support it. N64, Sega CD and a few others don't currently support it.
Ability to have 2 plugin instances at the same time
This would allow you to have 2 instances of the RGR Plugin open at the same time. Now it would require a fast computer to have 2 instances open at the same time but this would basically allow you and another user to see eachother's games. You'd be playing in your game in your instance and you'd be able to see their game in their instance. This would be great for if you want to play through a single player game with someone else, show someone how to do something or race each other to see who can beat the game the fastest in real time.
Add DOS Games
This would allow us to add those old PC games known as DOS games. So basically most PC games released between 1981 and 1995 (and some between 1995-2000) would be capable of being added to the site.
Upgraded Plugin Architecture for External System Loading
This Plugin architecture upgrade would allow the plugin to load systems on demand. This would allow the plugin to be only 1 MB and basically each time you play a system for the first time, that systems files would download when you go to play that game. The huge benefit to this would be that it'd allow us to
More Systems
What additional systems would you like to see added?
Google Chrome Support
Google Chrome is slowly moving away from NPAPI plugins (and doesn't support it with the default settings) which is the type of plugin the RGR Plugin is. While it is possible to make the RGR Plugin work in Google Chrome as seen here, the upcoming September

Summer 2015 Netplay Tournament: Teams = Win $100!
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=88110
The tournament has been postponed by a week since we still don't have enough users to sign up. If anyone is at all interested, please sign up. If you don't have a team, you can still sign up and I'll make a team for you. Keep in mind that this tournament doesn't have a set time or day that you do your matchup, you and your weekly opponent each week will come up with a time that works best for both teams.
Some of the games we'll be playing include:
Playstation:
-Bomberman World
-Micro Machines V3
-Crash Bash
Turbo Grafx:
-Bomberman '94
-Final Match Tennis
-Moto Roader
Super Nintendo:
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament
-Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge
-Super Bomberman 4 (English Translation)
Pretty much anyone can join the tournament. If you don't own the PlayStation item, you can still join the tournament since you do not need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. It's a great way for those who don't have it to get in on some PlayStation action!
Shenmue III has been a game that fans like myself have been waiting for since 2001 (2002 for Xbox owners) so when it was announced that it'll be coming out and will be backed by Kickstarter funding, that was a very big deal. The Kickstarter page ends in 2 weeks and so I had some fun ideas to celebrate Shenmue III finally being a reality and to bring attention to the series hoping that more people become fans of the game.
All versions of Shenmue I & II Available to Everyone for 0 Viz
Shortly after Dreamcast games were added to Vizzed, I made all of the Shenmue games cost 0 Viz because I really want everyone to experience the game. Just now I also made it so that you no longer need the Beta Test Ticket (which costs 10,000 Viz) to play the games. The reason that Dreamcast games currently require a Beta Test Ticket is because the games haven't all been tested yet and when I introduce new features to the site, they go into a beta state until they've been fully tested.
Earn Double CP & Viz for Submitting Content to the Shenmue game pages
For the next 2+ weeks, or until July 20th, you'll earn twice the CP and Viz when you submit content to any of the Shenmue game pages (Walkthroughs will qualify longer).
Affected actions include:
-Review
-Screenshot Submission
-Video Submission
-Walkthrough (double CP & Viz until August 1st)
-Game Content and Game Content Request
-Game Streaming (may not work properly)
Additional actions affected include: Game Rated, Graphic Adding, Moving Ebay Listing, Removing Ebay Listing, Review Rating, Screenshot Edit, Screenshot Rating, Video Edit and Video Rating.
Shenmue Games on Vizzed
Below are all of the versions of Shenmue we have on the site. The above
Shenmue
Shenmue (recommended)
This is the version of Shenmue that everyone in the United States grew up playing. If you don't plan to play Shenmue II on vizzed or don't care about transferring your save file, then play this version.
Shenmue (PAL)
This is the version of Shenmue that was released in the UK. I'm not sure what the differences are with this version but the only reason you'd want to play this version instead of the US release is so that you can transfer your save file from Shenmue I to Shenmue II. I'm pretty sure that with both versions of Shenmue II on vizzed you can load your Shenmue I save file so that you can transfer items you've collected.
Shenmue II
Shenmue II (English Translation) (recommended)
This is the PAL version except in English. Basically someone ripped the audio from the Xbox version of Shenmue II (which was in English) and dumped it into this version so that anyone can experience Shenmue II in full English on the Dreamcast.
Shenmue II (PAL)
Shenmue II was never actually released in the United States so the only way to play Shenmue II was either by importing it or by playing it on the Xbox. This version is in Japanese with English subtitles.

On Tuesday, 6/30/2015, from 2 - 8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the 8-Bit Music Competition. Around 30 seconds before each song is done, I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $300 worth of steam games and/or 300,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the cash and Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.
If you win a raffle, you get to choose whether you want the Viz prize or whether you want to pick a steam game from a list of steam games which I'll provide sometime before the event begins. Since this will be by far the longest music stream I've ever hosted, there will be a lot more stuff handed out compared to previous music streams (but unfortunately no cash prizes this time since I'm broke).
I don't expect anyone to stick around for the full 6 hours but if you're free during any of this time (even if it's just a half hour), feel free to stop by and hang out in the chat. It's usually a lot of fun chatting with vizzed users, talking about video games and listening to awesome video game music.

This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This is the 3rd year I've hosted a teams tournament. You can find the results of previous years here:
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Wins
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Wins
This tournament will last for 12 weeks. The first 3 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate). The next 5 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final game.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is. Your team may also contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to replace them.
The games that this tournament will involve (I'll be adding more later):
Turbo Grafx:
-Bomberman '94
-Final Match Tennis
-Moto Roader
Super Nintendo:
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament
-Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge
Nintendo NES:
-Super Spike V'Ball
Playstation:
-Bomberman World
-Micro Machines V3
-Crash Bash
We're doing things slightly different this year. The games will be grouped by system and each week a team can veto a system which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 200,000 Viz or US $100
2nd = 100,000 Viz or US $50
3rd = 50,000 Viz
(teams will share the prize)
Penalty:
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, July 6th.
If you want to enter, reply to the below thread with your team name, who the leader of the team is and who is on your team. If you don't have a team or can't find one, respond to the below thread saying that you want to form a team with someone and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.

Summer 2015 Newsletter
The Summer 2015 Newsletter has begun rolling out today and should take up to 2-3 weeks to deliver to everyone. This newsletter basically just highlights all of the big site updates and RGR Plugin updates that have taken place over the past 6 months so there's nothing real special in it for those of you who use the site daily and read the announcements and also read the threads posted in the news forum. Just in case you don't receive it though and wanted to see what it contained, my next post will contain the contents of the newsletter.
The great thing about these newsletters is that it helps increase the site's traffic a little by reminding users that Vizzed.com still exists and by letting them know of updates that may interest them. Hopefully over the next 2+ weeks we'll see old veterans come back and an increase in traffic, which is something the site desperately needs since it has been struggling lately financially (it's definitely not cheap to pay for the site servers and RGR Plugin updates).
Help Out Vizzed = 5000 Viz!
Here's how you can help out vizzed. If you ever received an email from vizzed, there's a good chance it may have gone to your junk or spam box. If you still have the email, simply mark it as safe if the option is available. In hotmail you'd click 'Wait, it's safe', in gmail and yahoo you'd click 'Not Spam' (the link to click may vary for other email providers). If you can't find any emails sent from one of the vizzed email addresses then wait until you receive the newsletter and you can do this with that. Respond to the below thread once you've done this.
The reason this is so important is because vizzed.com got on hotmail's block list a few weeks which means that any email sent from a vizzed.com email address was blocked instantly. I was able to contact them and get us removed from the ban but they said that I need to increase the reputation of emails sent from the vizzed servers otherwise I could easily get back on the list. It's very important for me to stay off this ban list and all other ban lists because this basically prevents users signing up from getting their verification email which is really bad. Plus it makes it so users can't recover their password, get newsletters and other various notifications. If we can get the reputation of the vizzed email accounts high enough then the vizzed emails may no longer be automatically sent to the spam/junk box of various email providers.
Now I don't want to get into too much detail but the reason we even got added to hotmail's ban list (and possibly others) is because a bot was using the registration form of vizzed to send out tons of spam emails. Since then I've added a reCAPTCHA to the registration form to prevent bots from abusing it.

If you'd like to see Foxyman1113 and I host more events like the Bomberman '94 Showdown event where you have to beat us for a prize, let me know in the below thread! It was a lot of fun and we'd both would definitely do this again sometime either in the same game or a different game. Of course, I wouldn't do a cash prize if we did a different game because I'm not confident in our abilities to defend a cash prize in any other game but if it were a different game, I'd still be willing to offer up a big Viz prize.

2015 Spring Bomberman Tournament = Final Matchup at 3:15 PM Central Time on Wednesday, 6/24/2015
The Bomberman Netplay Tournament which started back in early April will come to an end this Wednesday in the final matchup! Here are the 5 users who made it to the final matchup along with their player number (which also reflects their overall rank) and Bomberman color: Davideo7 (P1: White), Foxyman1113 (P2: Black), deg2000 (P3: Red), Linkums (P4: Blue) and lilwildwolf21 (P5: Green).
The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 75 minutes and will consist of rounds. The winner of the tournament gets $200, 2nd place gets $50, 3rd place gets $25 and 4th & 5th get Viz prizes. If you're curious about how this tournament worked and who all competed, you can find more information here.
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. The rules of the final matchup are exactly as they were in last year's final matchup (which can be viewed here). If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here.
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:

Defeat Foxyman1113 and Davideo7 & win US $200! Event starts at around 4:30 PM central time on Wednesday, 6/24/2015
As soon as the Bomberman Netplay Tournament ends, there will be a special Bomberman event that'll take place right afterward (just like last year) involving the 2 users who had the highest overall rank in the tournament which is Davideo7 (me) and Foxyman1113. You'll form a team with someone and take us on in a 2 vs 2 match and if you can beat us, you and your teammate get to share the $200 prize!

Vizzed RGR Plugin 2.30 is ready for download! This release primarily consists of bug fixes, an architecture upgrade, better stability and a few other enhancements. Download link can be found at the bottom of this post.
If all goes well as in this version works fine for enough users, this release and the previous 2.25 release will become mandatory upgrades if you're using an earlier release. The reason the previous release will be a mandatory upgrade instead of this one is because there was a huge architecture upgrade within the plugin that took place between 2.25 and 2.30 so it's possible that the new plugin might not function properly for some people. 2.25 will be a mandatory upgrade for many reasons and if for some reason you need to know those reasons, feel free to ask.

Forced Game Download if File Size is Different
The plugin now forces a file download if the file size of the downloaded game doesn't match the file size of the game that the user is trying to download. This will also fix the issue where a user plays a game for 1 system and then later plays a game with the same file name for another system but ends up playing the game for that previous system because it has the same file name.
Upgraded Architecture
The plugin process is exe based instead of dll based now which helps increase stability and playability a little. This is beneficial for many reasons but here's 3: 1. It'll be easy to upgrade the plugin in the future to allow multiple instances; 2. When the plugin launches, we can set its process priority which would allow games to run better for some users; 3. It'll make it easier to eventually create a plugin that loads the emulators externally each time you play an emulator for the first time (or when you play it after it's been

Please Help Us Fund More
The site's traffic and revenue continues to drop and so have the donations lately. I was barely able to pay for the site servers this month which is the first time I've struggled to pay for them in probably 2+ years. On top of that, I currently owe Tom for work that he's done lately so I need to work on getting caught up on what I owe him. For those who can afford it, it'd be great if you could donate to the site to help us get a few more features before Tom quits working on the RGR Plugin forever which he says is in the near future.
There's still a lot of features I'd like to get added which includes Google Chrome Support, more systems including DOS and more! You can see a list of what I'd like to get added here:

If you don't have money to donate but have games that you no longer use that you'd be willing to donate to the site that I could resell for profit to put toward the site, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=58552
There are lots of benefits to those who donate including access to more games, access to more systems, access to more features, faster download speeds, etc. I also plan to add lots of other things in the near future which include blocking ads, ability to change name, various upcoming site features, and more!
Thank You tom760 and Staff
I'd like to give another huge thanks to tom760 for his willingness to continue working on the RGR Plugin. Be sure to give him praise via his profile or PM him here:

I'd also like to give a thanks to all of the users and staff members who helped test out all of these betas over the past few months.

For the next 2 weeks, from 6/11/2015 - 6/25/2015, you'll earn 3 times more Viz and CP for writing Video Game Articles! There's a lot of news in the gaming community during these weeks and as a way to get more users to submit articles to the site, I'm offering a huge opportunity to earn a ton of Viz and CP!
So how much can you now make for making an article? Well before you could earn up to 12.5 CP and 1250 Viz for writing a 250 word article (which is a lot) but now during this time you can earn 37.5 CP and 3750 Viz for a 250 word article! A 250 word article is pretty small too and a user should easily be able to do a 250 word article in under a half hour (which includes both the research and typing it up).

My quest continues to obtaining physical copies of games in the Retro Game Room. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include Super Nintendo, Nintendo NES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Genesis, Playstation, Dreamcast, etc. You can basically donate anything to me, even more modern games including DS, Xbox 360, GameCube, Playstation Vita, etc. Any modern game most likely will be resold and the profit put toward the site and future RGR Plugin updates, any retro game donated will go into my personal collection which will help me maintain the legality of the site (duplicates will be resold though). I'll even accept game systems but I'll only accept game accessories that have value or don't take up a lot of space.
I'll pay you 10,000s of Viz for sending me your games!
Here's a few examples of items that you might want to earn Viz for:
10,000 Viz = Netplay item - Allows you to create netplay sessions without paying Viz
25,000 Viz = V-Machine item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games)
50,000 Viz = Laptop item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games). Also allows you to create netplay sessions for 0 Viz.
50,000 Viz = V-Machine CD item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (does include all CD games except Playstation)
50,000 Viz = Playstation item - Allows you to access and play 2,400+ different Playstation games for 0 Viz
You can find a list of items that you can buy that do special things here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
You can donate either retro games or modern games. For any game that I already own that you donate, I'll probably sell them and use the profit to invest into the site. If you donate a Playstation game, not only will I give you Viz for it but I'll also add it as a playable game on the site.
You can of course earn Viz in many other ways, a complete list of ways can be found here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/controlpanel.php?category=help&help=terminology&name=Viz#Viz
Tell me in the following thread what games you're interested in donating, the condition of the games and I'll tell you how much Viz I'd give you for the games:

On Wednesday, 4/29/2015, from 6 - 8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Dreamcast Game Music Competition. Half way through every song I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $50 and 100,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the cash and Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.
My twitch channel can be found here:

If you have any questions or comments, please post here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=86937
As promised, the Dreamcast games in the Retro Game Room will cost 0 Viz and be accessible to everyone for the rest of the month (which is about 3 1/2 days). The games that you play during this time will not be added to your profile and you will have to pay Viz for them later if you want to play them again.
You can find all of the Dreamcast games that we have to offer here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=dc#searchjump
Keep in mind though that the Dreamcast games can currently only be played with a controller so be sure to plug one in before starting up the games. If you're having troubles downloading a DC game (example, it stops or gets really slow), try it again later or simply try another game. Dreamcast games require a somewhat powerful computer so it's possible that they will not work on your computer. You'll need DirectX 9 installed on your computer which you can get here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35. Lastly, you need RGR Plugin 2.11 or later which you can get here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=8676.
Starting next month, Dreamcast games will require the Beta Test Ticket again which costs 10,000 Viz and can be purchased from the Item Shop. The games will also be back to their normal price which can range anywhere between 250 - 750 Viz so be sure to take advantage of this offer in the final days of "Dreamcast Month".
Special Offer! If you take at least 100 unique screenshots of Dreamcast games between now and the 1st of next month, I'll send you 20,000 Viz which is enough for the Beta Test Ticket and enough to play plenty of Dreamcast games! This is a great opportunity to be able to continue playing games after this month if you're low on Viz. Those 100 screenshots can be in just 1 game or spread among many games, just as long as each screenshot is unique from your other screenshots and unique from the screenshots already submitted to the Dreamcast games. Once you've taken all 100 screenshots, let me know in the below thread.

The latest version of Google Chrome has disabled NPAPI plugins by default which means the RGR Plugin no longer works in Google Chrome unless you enable NPAPI plugins. If you want to learn how to continue using the RGR Plugin with Google Chrome, go here:

Or the other option would be to switch to Firefox. We'll work on getting this issue fixed in a future release.
There's still 12 days left to compete in this month's competitions which means there's plenty of time to earn literally $100s!

Dreamcast Sudden Popularity
The Dreamcast has gained extra popularity over the past few months, plus Vizzed recently got Dreamcast games added to Vizzed so I figured this was a great opportunity to dedicate an entire month to recognizing the Dreamcast and its games. One of the smaller things I plan to do as a way to give the Dreamcast added recognition is to make the game of the week every week this month a Dreamcast game. I also have ideas for other things so be sure to read below.
Vizzed will have a Complete Dreamcast Library
Right now we only have less than 50 Dreamcast games available on the site but I plan to add 100+ Dreamcast games to the site each week this month which means we'll have a complete Dreamcast library before the month ends which will put us 600+ DC games! Dreamcast was added to the RGR Plugin recently so be sure to get the latest RGR Plugin here. You can find our Dreamcast games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=dc
4 Dreamcast Themed Competitions, All with Cash Prizes
This month will have 4 competitions involving Dreamcast games in some way and they'll each have a cash prize so be sure to compete because some of the cash prizes will be big!
Dreamcast Challenge Stream
I'll be doing a 2 hour Dreamcast stream sometime this month where a few users and myself compete in various challenges in various Dreamcast games. More information on this will be provided later this month.
All Dreamcast Games will Cost 0 Viz During the Last Week of the Month
For the entire last week of the month, Dreamcast games will cost 0 Viz so be sure to take advantage of this!
Dreamcast Games Do Not Require the Beta Test ticket this month
For this month only, or at least until all DC games have been thoroughly tested, the Dreamcast games will not require the Beta Test Ticket. The games will require the Beta Test Ticket once the month is over but in a few months none of the DC games will require the ticket since I hope to have every DC game tested within a few months. The reason the DC games currently require the Beta Test Ticket is because there are going to be games that don't work and games that have problem so to avoid many users complaining about games that don't work, this is the best solution to that problem. Be warned though that some games might not work that are available to play so keep that in mind before you spend 100s of Viz on a Dreamcast game.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding all of this, please reply to this thread:

The Nintendo NES 2015 Winter Netplay Tournament which started 2 1/2 months ago is coming to an end Thursday night with the final 2 contestants, Foxyman1113 and Davideo7 (myself), facing off in a bunch of NES games. The matchup could last anywhere between 30 minutes to 2+ hours.
The even will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
We'll be both on our microphones talking while we face each other so be sure to stop by, it should be exciting. Also be sure to follow my channel so that you're reminded when the event begins.
This tournament started with 64 users with a double elimination format. Selectable games include: Balloon Fight, Clu Clu Land, Dig Dug, Dig Dug II - Trouble in Paradise, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong 3, Dr. Mario, Galaga, Marble Madness, Mario Bros, Pac-Man (Tengen), Pinball, Tetris (tengen), Q-Bert and Wario's Woods.
Basically we'll be facing off in sets of 2 games until someone wins both games of a set. We both get to pick 1 game each for every set. We cannot pick the same game twice until every game has been played once. Since I'm in the winner's bracket, I have the advantage of having to lose twice in order to lose the tournament. Basically I'm in the winner's bracket and foxy is in the loser's bracket so technically if I lose the first matchup, I get knocked into the loser's bracket where we face off again.
If you have any questions or feedback, please post in this thread:

For those of you who missed the SEGA Music Stream earlier today, you can find the full stream on YouTube here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubpez6nLLww
(be sure to like the video and follow the channel)
You can also find a YouTube playlist with all of the songs (in order of their YouTube rating) here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLM7FKqe6ZEFseocnt4zFx3i-41LD1JNy
On Monday from 5 - 9 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the SEGA Game Music Competition. Half way through every song I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $50 and 100,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the cash and Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.

In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament offers the biggest grand prize of any netplay tournament I've ever hosted so be sure to sign up for a shot at $200, you have nothing to lose! This is also now considered an annual tournament; here are the final results from last year: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon.
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points.
Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
Requirements:
-You must be available 2 nights a week between 7 PM - 9 PM central time Tuesday-Friday nights
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. Click here to see if you're on the netplay ban list.
Prizes:
1st = 300,000 Viz or $200
2nd = 75,000 Viz or $50
3rd = 37,500 Viz or $25
4th = 20,000 Viz
5th = 10,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, April 6th.

I've reduced the Viz prices of most of the RGR games and some of the RGR games have reduced by a lot. All of the small sized games have taken a price drop, the medium sized games are around the same (some may have gone up) and the large sized games have taken a huge price drop. For those who don't know, the games in the RGR cost Viz to help me avoid high bandwidth costs but I think I might be able to get away with dropping the prices of these games without any problems.
In return, I've added an ad to the play window while the game is loading. All of the revenue made from this will go to tRIUNE since he does a lot for the site. He currently already shares the site's revenue with me but I wanted to help him out by increasing the amount he gets since he invests way more time on the site than anyone else has over the past few years (excluding me of course). I'll eventually add an item to the item shop which will allow you to disable this ad if you find it annoying but it shouldn't interfere with anything.
One of the main purposes of the Retro Game Room has always been to introduce users to games that they've never experienced. So many of these retro games deserve recognition and if the prices are too high, most users will never be able to experience some of these great games. By dropping the prices the really large games, I'm hoping it encourages users to stick around the site longer by enjoying more games.

Vizzed security is always an ongoing project but things should be back to normal and the current issues should be fixed. Vizzed was hacked but no one needs to worry about any personal information or passwords being leaked. The hacker logged into a few user accounts but after discovering who it was, he was cool enough to reveal to me how he did it so that I could patch the exploit.
I've implemented a lot of new security which includes disabling certain HTML tags from posts, bios and layouts, locking various staff members to a single IP, and completely changing the way that users login info is handled on the site.
Some users may have troubles logging into the site after these updates. If you are one of those users or know of a user who is having troubles, clear your cookies. If that doesn't help, please contact me at davideo7@hotmail.com.
Thanks again for everyone's patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=85704
Vizzed is back up and mostly back to normal. There are a few things that still need fixing but it should be good enough for now. I'll post a more thorough update later once I've finished up everything. Global moderators, you'll want to email me the IP address that you plan to use on vizzed.
Thank you everyone for your patience through all of this and I apologize that it took longer than expected.
The month is about half way over so there's still plenty of time to compete in this month's competitions.

Detailed List of
Better Game Playability and Compatibility for Mednafen Games
More games will be playable in Mednafen and more games will have better playability. Mednafen required systems include: Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket (and color), WonderSwan (and color), Virtual Boy, Turbo Grafx, Turby Grafx CD, SueprGrafx, PC-FX, Game Gear, Master System and Playstation. Optional systems include: GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES and Genesis.
Access to Many New Options and Features for Mednafen Games
You'll now have access to so many more features and options while playing games with the Mednafen emulator. Some of these options include:
Spacebar = Speeds up the game
ALT + Spacebar = Slows down the game
Backspace = Lets you rewind the game (but you must enable it first by pressing CTRL+Backspace)
CTRL+F12 = Lets you enter cheat codes (make sure to enable cheats first by pressing F12)
CTRL+Page Up = Lets you change the input device (switch to mouse if game supports mouse)
CTRL+# = Lets you choose a different save slot to save to (where # would be 0-9)
ALT+# = Lets you remove graphics layers (where # would be 1-9)
SHIFT+F3 = Lets you start and stop an emulator movie (CTRL + F3 lets you watch it)
F1 = Shows all of the available options
Cheat Code Support for Mednafen Games
You can now
Emulator Movies
You can now create emulator movies! The awesome thing about an emulator movie is that you can record your gameplay without putting very much strain on your computer. Also, if you choose to use the rewind feature a lot to undo your mistakes, the rewind doesn't get recorded so therefore your emulator movie will not show your mistakes, it'll appear as if you played flawless. Once you've created an emulator movie, use the emulators built in video recording to record the emulator movie and upload the movie as a TAS run (aka Tool Assisted Run). You currently can only save 1 emulator movie per a game but if enough users are interested in this feature and want the ability to save up to 10 per a game, let me know.
Playstation Netplay
You can now play Playstation games with users on vizzed! Now you need to have the Playstation item (costs 50,000 Viz) to access and create Playstation netplay sessions but anyone can join an already created Playstation session! Playstation netplay supports 2-5 players. Some Playstation games require a powerful computer when in a netplay session.
Ability to Change Controllers During Netplay
When you're the session creator (or a staff member), you'll have access to a few extra commands at the bottom right corner of the play window while in a netplay session. You can swap a player's controller with another player which is very convenient, especially if users entered in the wrong order or if a user leaves suddenly. You also have access to a few other commands such as the ability to ping the netplay server.
Dreamcast Support
Probably the number 1 requested feature over the past 2 years. Dreamcast Support has finally been added to the RGR Plugin! These games require a powerful computer and currently lack features such as screenshot taking but it does support full screen (press ALT+Enter a few times) and also saving (but not save states, you save to the "internal memory"). We also haven't added many games yet but I'll work on getting as many games added as I can as soon as I can. Only users with the Beta Test Ticket item (costs 10,000 Viz) can access Dreamcast games currently but they'll be available to everyone soon enough. You can find a list of all the games we currently have here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=dc

. Now the question is, what features do you guys want to see the most? In the poll within the link below, vote on the features you want to see added the most (multi-voting is enabled). If you have ideas for other features, please let me know and I'll add them to the poll. Also let me know in this thread why you think we need the features that you've suggested:

Breakdown of all the possible new features if we get enough donations
This would make netplay run better and increase the compatibility and playability of the *mednafen emulated systems. It would also make some games that currently have problems no longer have problems. It'd also add additional new features such as 3-8 player genesis netplay (currently netplay on genesis only supports 2 players), possibly Playstation netplay (for some games for users with powerful computers), possibly working SNES netplay for users who currently have problems, and many other fixes and improvements.
This would increase the compatibility and playability of the Arcade games and also the **MESS emulated systems. It'd also decrease problems for various Arcade and **MESS games and could also allow us to add a few more (mostly older) systems to the site.
MAME/MESS Netplay
This would allow users to play Arcade games online together and also **MESS emulated games together (which would add netplay support to the majority of non-handheld games on vizzed!). There are a lot of great multiplayer Arcade games that are 2-6 players and a lot of them are also coop. I should also point out that with this
MAME/MESS Full Screen Support
This would give you the ability to play Arcade games and **MESS games in full screen mode.
More Systems to support Video Recording
Most of the game systems on vizzed allow you to press a single button and record your gameplay but not every system support it. N64, Sega CD and a few others don't currently support it.
Ability to change controllers during Netplay
This would allow netplayers to change who is 1st player, 2nd player, etc. The session host would have the ability to assign a user (or their own) to a different controller.
Ability to have 2 plugin instances at the same time
This would allow you to have 2 instances of the RGR Plugin open at the same time. Now it would require a fast computer to have 2 instances open at the same time but this would basically allow you and another user to see eachother's games. You'd be playing in your game in your instance and you'd be able to see their game in their instance. This would be great for if you want to play through a single player game with someone else, show someone how to do something or race each other to see who can beat the game the fastest in real time.
MAME/MESS High Score and Speedruns
Currently the MAME and **MESS games do not support High Score or Speedruns; this would change that.
Add DOS Games
This would allow us to add those old PC games known as DOS games. So basically most PC games released between 1981 and 1995 (and some between 1995-2000) would be capable of being added to the site.
Add Dreamcast Games
This would allow us to add Sega Dreamcast games to the site. This would require users to have somewhat powerful computers.
*Mednafen required systems include: Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket (and color), WonderSwan (and color), Virtual Boy, Turbo Grafx, Turby Grafx CD, SueprGrafx, PC-FX, Game Gear, Master System and Playstation. Optional systems include: GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES and Genesis.
**MESS required systems include: C64, Atari 2600, Apple II, MSX, MSX 2, Sega Saturn, CD-i, Intellivision, Colecovision, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Pico, Odyssey 2, PocketStation, Atari Jaguar, SG-1000, Pokemon Mini and SC-3000. MESS is compatible with other systems on the site but currently you cannot play those systems with MESS (I'll add that ability later on).

The Vizzed.co server ran out of disk space which resulted into everyone losing the MViz on the Vizzed Minecraft server. Thankfully I have a backup from December 8th but a lot of users have earned a lot of MViz since then. If your one of the users who have less MViz than you did before, let us know in the below thread and we'll make sure to get you your MViz back.

There's still almost 2 full weeks to participate in this month's competition so be sure to compete, there's still plenty of time to walk away with a cash prize.

Screenshot Uploading to Modern Games
You can now upload screenshots to games in the Video Game Room that don't exist in the Retro Game Room (in other words, modern games or games that the RGR Plugin don't support). This is a feature I'm excited about and I'm happy to finally reveal it, I don't think I told anyone about it before or while I was working on it.
For more information, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=83326
Earn more Viz and CP from submitting Screenshots
You can now earn more Viz and CP from submitting screenshots and from adding details to those screenshots. Before you only earned 0.2 CP and 20 Viz per a screenshot you submitted to the site which was incredibly low in my opinion (you would've had to submit 50 screenshots to earn 10 CP and 10 CP is suppose to be the equivalent of 1 hour worth of work), especially since users invest a good amount of time finding good screenshot opportunities. The amount of CP and Viz you can earn now is based on how many screenshots you've submitted to the same game and how many details you added to the screenshot.

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/tourdevizzed.php
This is an "Official" Vizzed tournament. As some of you know, I plan to hold 4 a year.
Unlike the last Vizzed Tournament (which will be headed to the final round next week), this tournament will be all elimination rounds, well double elimination to be exact. In other words, lose 2 games and you're out of the tournament.
Everyone starts out in the "winners" bracket and if you lose, you go on to the "losers" bracket and if you lose in the losers bracket, you're out of the tournament. At the very end, the winner of the winners bracket and the winner of the losers bracket play each other but the winner of the losers bracket has to beat the winner of the winners bracket twice (this makes it fair to the user who went undefeated for going undefeated).
Since this is a double elimination tournament, there is no way for me to know how long it'll last since the amount of people who sign up determines how long it'll last but if I were to take a guess, I'd say around 6 weeks. I will allow any number of users to join but we will need an even number. Bye weeks may be handed out to users who do very well if needed in order to balance out the structuring of the brackets.
We'll be playing various multiplayer games for the Nintendo NES. Some of those games include Balloon Fight, Clu Clu Land, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, Dr. Mario, Ice Climber, Mario Bros., Pinball, Urban Champion, Wario's Woods, Wrecking Crew, and more. If you want to recommend additional games for this tournament, do so here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=83253
I held a similar tournament last year at this time. That tournament involved the multiplayer games from NES Remix (Wii-U) and overall it was a very fun and successful tournament with tons of participation (96 users). If you want to get an idea of how this tournament will work, you can view Week 1 of that tournament here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=71377
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = US $100 or 150,000 Viz
2nd = US $50 or 75,000 Viz
3rd = US $25 or 37,500 Viz
4th = 20,000 Viz
5th = 10,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Penalty:
If you fail to play 2 or more of your matches, you'll be added to the netplay ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament for at least a year. You'll also have 10,000 Viz deducted from your account.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, January 12th (or once we get 128 users).
If you want to enter, respond to this thread:

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It's not quite Christmas yet but I always like to make sure everyone in all time zones get it before Christmas Eve.
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'.
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
The Retro Game Room has 64 Christmas games, 14 of them added in the past year. You can find them all here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?sort=best&search=Christmas&searchBy=theme
Earn an easy 1000 Viz
A few years ago I put together a video highlighting 12 Christmas games (non hacked):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbh8UIMMj8
I'll give you 1000 Viz for liking and commenting on the above YouTube video. Let me know in the below thread once you've done this.
Tell your friends about the site and earn lots of Viz
From now until the end of the year, if you refer 10 people to the site, I'll give you 20,000 Viz on top of the 5000+ Viz that you'll automatically get for referring them. In other words, you'll earn 25,000+ Viz for referring 10 of your friends to the site. There's a ton of kids on Christmas break, a lot of them may be looking for something to do, why not introduce them to Vizzed? Once you've referred the users (and they've registered), let me know in the below thread.
Christmas Streams
There's going to be a few users doing live streams of Christmas games over the next few days, including myself. You can find a list of Twitch Streamers on Vizzed here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/netplaysessions.php
Also be sure to follow the streamers you like.
Holy Bible on Vizzed
You can now read the entire King James Version of the Bible on Vizzed! This is a project I've been working on for my other site http://www.mybiblegames.com/ on and off for about a week or so now so think of this as an expansion of that site on Vizzed rather than an expansion of Vizzed. Vizzed is a Christian friendly site but not a Christian site, I respect the atheists of this site enough to not take vizzed in that direction but it definitely doesn't hurt the site to merge a little with MyBibleGames.

This month's RGR Competitions are about half way over so there's still plenty of time to compete. Most of these competitions have had very little competition so if you have a few hours to spare and are in need of some cash, you might as well compete in whichever one of these you think you'd have the best chance at placing. Keep in mind that you don't have to take first place in these competitions to earn cash, there are cash prizes for the other places as well.

The Vizzed Minecraft Server has been fixed and has been updated to the latest version of Minecraft! You no longer have to use an older version of Minecraft to use our Minecraft server, you can use it with the latest version. The server now uses Spigot which should also make the server run better.
I've updated a bunch of the plugins on the server and I've also added a new plugin which shows some of your minecraft related stats right on your profile (and more stats to come). When you log into the server for the first time since this feature was added, a new table will appear on your profile and that'll begin keeping track of your stats. Everyone's play time will start at 0 since I wasn't tracking play time before and have no way of knowing what everyone's play time was previously.
Anyone can join our server! The IP Address is: Vizzed.co

As of Today, 12-06-14, the current Vizzed Board is 10 years old!
This year I’ve continued expanding the Video Game Room by adding profile pages for video game characters, putting up a vizzed minecraft server and also by adding video game accessories (such as systems and controllers) to the VGR. I’ve also added game pages for many new games and systems. I haven’t forgotten about the Retro Game Room though because that has also received a ton of new features including a game streaming page, more features to netplay and game searching and many more games and systems. Over 10,000 games added to the RGR which is probably the most that has ever been added to the RGR in a single year.
You can find the awards and additional anniversary information here:

The 2014 Newsletter has begun rolling out today and should take up to 2 weeks to deliver to everyone. The biggest highlight of this newsletter is the fact that it celebrates the 10 year anniversary of Vizzed Board.

For the past few months now we've been experiencing issues with the Minecraft server where it'd be really slow, laggy and sometimes kick users out. I've done some research and switched from 32-bit to 64-bit and also made it so that the minecraft server can take advantage of more RAM. From what I can see so far, this has fixed the problem.
Remember that you need to use Minecraft version 1.7.10 to get on the server and the server address is Vizzed.co . If you don't know how to use an older version of minecraft, you can find that information here:

Playstation Came Out in Japan on December 3rd, 1994
The Sony Playstation will turn 20 years old on December 3rd and as a way to celebrate, November will be Playstation month. Every Game of the Day and Game of the Week will be of a Playstation game from now until December 3rd and on top of that, the Playstation item (which allows you to play Playstation games on Vizzed) will be 50% off which means you can now get it for 25,000 Viz for a limited time! Be sure to act fast though because it's very unlikely that it'll ever be discounted again, in fact, it may eventually go up in price due to all of the games added lately. You can get it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem
Vizzed Has A Mostly Complete Playstation Library
Over the past few months I've invested well over 100 hours into finding, preparing, formatting and adding every Playstation game to the site and I'm finally finished. This includes all USA games and also all European and Japanese games (the ones that weren't released in the USA). On top of that, a lot of hacks, homebrew and demo discs were added. If you see any games that are missing, let us know right away and we'll get the games added ASAP. The Playstation library on Vizzed includes 2,411 games and will continue to increase as tRIUNE and myself find and add missing games. You can view the library here:

I'm in the process of completing the Playstation collection in the Retro Game Room. Every day I plan to add 100-200 Playstation games (in alphabetical order) to the site. Before I started there were just over 500 playable Playstation games on the site. By the time I finish, there will be 2000+ playable Playstation games on the site. The goal is to have almost every Playstation game ever made on the site which includes all (unique) US and foreign games and I also plan to add every available demo disc, hack, prototype, homebrew game, independent net yaroze game and more. I've invested many hours over the past few months into this project which includes obtaining, preparing, formatting and now adding the games. As of this announcement, we have everything added from A to E and halfway done with F.
Playstation games are only playable for users who own the 'Playstation' item which can be purchased from the Item Shop for 50,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem
If you want the Playstation item but don't have enough Viz for it, here are ways to earn it:
-Help out Vizzed = Earn 10,000+ Viz!
-Contribute to Vizzed
-Donate Games
-Donate Money
-Do Things for Vizzed Users
-Click Here for a Complete List
(click any of the above links for more information)
The list of Playstation games were previously only available on an exclusive page on vizzed. The games can now be viewed and accessed in the Retro Game Room just like any other system by anyone. Here's a link to all of the currently available Playstation games:

I've added 7500+ Windows games and nearly 1000 Macintosh games to the Video Game Room.

Mac Games

Keep in mind that the VGR is a place for non-playable games. It's a place to get information and a place to submit reviews, guides, videos and threads. Many of the games added will have price guides available within the next few days (some already do) so be sure to add any computer games that you own to your Vizzed Game Collection.
For those of you who are competing in the Gameplay Recorder competition, you can now record computer games and submit those to the competition which could increase your chances of winning the $225.

On Tuesday, September 30th, I'll be hosting a live streaming event on my Twitch Channel where we'll all be listening to the songs submitted to this month's SNES Video Game Music Competition. The stream will start at 5 PM and end at around 8 PM (central time). This is a great opportunity to hang out with vizzed members, listen to some gaming music and earn some Viz while doing it; it should be fun.
Everyone is welcome to join the stream and you can earn 100 Viz for each song that you rate. After each song that is played, I'll ask everyone what they thought of it and all you have to do is rate on a scale of 1-3. If you can only participate during a small portion of the stream, that is fine, stick around and rate as many songs that you have time for. If you stick around long enough to rate all 127 songs, you'll get a bonus of 2,300 Viz which would put your total earnings at 15,000 Viz.
To qualify, all you need to do is be a member of Vizzed, be a member of Twitch, and follow my Twitch Channel which can be found here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
You'll also need you reply to the following thread letting me know what your Twitch username is so that I know who to send the Viz to once the event is over:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=80277
The 15 minute video limit that was placed on the Vizzed YouTube account 6 months ago has been removed. This means that you can now upload videos of almost any size to the YouTube account. All videos that were uploaded in the past 6 months that were larger than 15 minutes were automatically deactivated by Google but now that we no longer have a restriction, I was able to reactivate those videos.
You can find the Vizzed Gameplay Videos account here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/vizzed
Be sure to help us out by Subscribing
Next month I'll be hosting an RGR competition with a cash prize for those who are willing to record large videos and upload them to the Vizzed YouTube account. If you do plan to participate in that, be sure to wait until October 1st to upload your large videos since only videos uploaded after October 1st will count for that competition.
The 15 minute restriction was placed on the account 6 months ago when a Japanese company filed a copyright claim on one of the commercials on the Vizzed YouTube account. Since then, I removed all of the commercials from the main Vizzed YouTube account (that account is now dedicated to just gameplay videos) and moved them to a new YouTube account titled Vizzed Video Game Commercials
.
I've also made a few small updates to the video uploader page. You can now insert keywords to the video that you're uploading and it'll automatically insert useful keywords by default which means that if you forget to add additional keywords, it'll still receive keywords. If the video is of a rom hack, that is mentioned in the title and related keywords will be added. A few other small updates have been made to the page as well.
If you have any questions or feedback about these updates, please post in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=80209
This is a reminder to participate in this month's RGR competitions, there's still half a month left.

I have 4 more Vizzed Minecraft Accounts for Auction:
Vizzed_OldMan
Vizzed_OldWoman
Vizzed_Police
Vizzed_TRocketM
For more information, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=79373
The starting bids on these are a lot lower than previous auctions. Also, these will be the last accounts that I auction off for a while.
The Video Game Streamers page on Vizzed has been updated:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/streamers.php
It previously only supported Twitch.tv but it now also supported Hitbox.tv. The CP and Viz payout for streaming has been updated and is now based on your Vizzed Partnership. You can now earn 0.05, 0.1, or 0.15 CP (rounded) and 10, 20 or 30 Viz for every minute you stream.
Another big update to the page is that it'll now remove you from the page if you go more than 30 days without streaming a game in the Retro Game Room. Also, in the Retro Game Room, it'll only list you as active streamer if you're playing a game in the RGR. Eventually I might make it only show RGR streamers by default (but there would be a setting to allow you to view all streamers).
I plan to drive more traffic to this page which will increase the amount of viewers the vizzed streamers get. The idea is that if you help out vizzed with your stream, vizzed will help out your stream. In the future I'll also offer incentives for users to visit that page (all someone has to do is view that page and they'll count as a viewer on your stream).
If you have any questions about these updates or if you want to get yourself added to the stream page, go here:

This is an "Official" Vizzed tournament. As some of you know, I host a Tecmo Super Bowl tournament every fall which contains a current NFL roster. Unlike the last Vizzed Tournament (which will be headed to the final round in a few weeks), this tournament will not involve teams.
This tournament will last for 20 weeks. The first 4 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate). The next 12 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final game. The idea is to have this tournament last as long as the NFL season, so it'll begin at around the same time and end at around the same time. Tecmo Super Bowl tournaments are held every year and they last longer than any other tournament that I host.
We'll be playing a 2014-2015 roster update of Tecmo Super Bowl. The hack hasn't been added to the site yet since it's still being worked on but it'll be ready before the tournament begins next week.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo NES games
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 100,000 Viz
2nd = 50,000 Viz
3rd = 25,000 Viz
Team Entry Fee: 5,000 Viz
(you can send me the Viz by going to my profile)
Rebate: 4,000 Viz
If you participate throughout the entire competition, you will get 4000 of that Viz refunded. If you drop out or fail to participate, you will not get your 4000 Viz back and you will be added to the ban list.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Thursday, September 4th.
If you want to enter, send me the 5,000 Viz and reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=79474
Every Friday for the next 4-6 weeks I'll be auctioning off 4 Minecraft accounts for rent. What I mean by "rent" is that you get to use the account for 1 year but you cannot change the skin that the account comes with (reasons below). If you want to renew the account, the price to renew the account for each additional year is 25% of the Viz price that you paid for the account. These are full accounts that you have full access to and you can do just about anything with them (except change the skin as mentioned already).
These accounts serve 3 purposes:
1. The skins of the accounts will be used for the NPC's on the Pokemon Kanto Region world
2. To get more users on the Vizzed Minecraft Server
3. To give users another reason to earn Viz
The reason that you cannot change the skin of the account is because the NPC addon that we use on the minecraft server lets you create NPCs but you can only use skins of actual minecraft accounts. I want to make NPCs in the Pokemon Kanto Region on the Vizzed Minecraft Server similar to the NPCs from Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green.
These skins take a while to make and it also takes me a while to come up with the budget to buy these accounts (they cost me around US $27 each), this is why I'm only selling 4 per a week. The intent with these skins is for them to resemble their sprite from Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green as closely as possible.
For those who don't know, Vizzed has a Minecraft Server that has been used by more than 500 users since it launched 6+ months ago. If you win one of these accounts and join the Vizzed Minecraft Server, you can use a nickname different from the name of the minecraft account. For more information on the Vizzed Minecraft Server, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152
Or if you want to see our Vizzed Minecraft World, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/minecraft.php
Here's a list of the current accounts for auction:
Vizzed_Red
Vizzed_Leaf
Vizzed_Mom
Vizzed_Oak

My quest continues to obtaining physical copies of games in the Retro Game Room. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include SNES, NES, GBA/GB/GBC, N64, Genesis, TG, PSX, etc (basically anything, even modern, but preferably retro games). I'll pay you 1000s of Viz for sending me your games.
Here's a few examples of items that you might want to earn Viz for:
10,000 Viz = Netplay item - Allows you to create netplay sessions without paying Viz
25,000 Viz = V-Machine item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games)
50,000 Viz = Laptop item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games). Also allows you to create netplay sessions
50,000 Viz = Playstation item - Allows you to play 480+ different Playstation games
You can find a list of items that you can buy that do special things here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
You can donate either retro games or modern games. For any game that I already own that you donate, I'll probably sell them and use the profit to invest into the site. If you donate a Playstation game, not only will I give you Viz for it but I'll also add it as a playable game on the site.
You can of course earn Viz in many other ways, a complete list of ways can be found here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/controlpanel.php?category=help&help=terminology&name=Viz#Viz
Tell me in the following thread what games you're interested in donating, the condition of the games and I'll tell you how much Viz I'd give you for the games:

The following 5 systems have been fully tested and are no longer available to just beta testers, they are now available to everyone:
-Atari Jaguar (only around 10% of the games work)
-Pokemon Mini (most of the games work)
-Sony PocketStation (75% of the games work)
-Magnavox Odyssey 2 (most of the games work)
-Sega Pico
The following 2 systems are still only available to Beta Testers but should be available to everyone within the next few months (CDi possibly next month):
-Sega Saturn (75% of the games work)
-Phillips CD-i (only around 25% of the games work)
Since these 2 systems still need to be tested and configured, they are currently only available to Beta Testers of the site. To become a Beta Tester, you need to buy the "Beta Test Ticket" for 10,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem

Here's a nice batch of
New Games and Systems
Over the past few weeks, 7 retro game systems have been added to the Retro Game Room which has increased the RGR library by around 1,336 games. The added new systems include:
-Sega Saturn (75% of the games work)
-Phillips CD-i (only around 25% of the games work)
-Atari Jaguar (only around 10% of the games work)
-Pokemon Mini (most of the games work)
-Sony PocketStation (75% of the games work)
-Magnavox Odyssey 2 (most of the games work)
-Sega Pico
Since all of these games still need to be tested and configured, they are currently only available to Beta Testers of the site. To become a Beta Tester, you need to buy the "Beta Test Ticket" for 10,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem
Each system will become available to everyone once the staff has finished testing and configuring the games of each system. The CD systems and the systems with a lot of games will take longer to test.
Some of the games for these systems may not work and some may not function properly. Some of these can be fixed once the staff get to them while others may never be playable. Also, I'm still working on adding more games to these systems.
You can find a complete list of the newly added games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?pm=true&ss=true&sp=true&aj=true&mo2=true&sps=true&cdi=true&search=&system=&searchBy=name
Need Viz to play these new games? Scroll down for information on how you can earn a lot of Viz in a very short amount of time just for helping out Vizzed.com.
New Item Shop Item: V-Machine CD
As some of you know, the V-Machine item lets you play all games for free once you've paid the Viz for it but it doesn't let you play CD games for free (due to their disk space and bandwidth). I've added a new item to the item shop called 'V-Machine CD' which also covers CD games for 50,000 Viz (except PSX).
CD systems on the site that this covers include:
-Sega CD
-Sega Saturn
-Turbo Grafx CD
-PC-FX
-CDi
(more to come)
You can see that item as well as all other items here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem
Playstation Games
Vizzed has had Playstation games for quite a while and the library keeps on getting bigger and bigger. The only way to view and play our Playstation library is by purchasing the 'Playstation' item for 50,000 Viz:

New YouTube Channels
I've created 3 new YouTube channels which will have different purposes:
Vizzed Video Game Commercials: A channel dedicated to video game commercials (this is where all the old commercials will go)
Vizzed Video Game Music: A channel dedicated to video game soundtracks
Vizzed Productions: A channel dedicated to events, tournaments, competitions and compilation videos
Of the 3 new channels, the only one which has content currently is the 'Vizzed Video Game Commercials' channel. The other 2 channels will get content added next month.
Be sure to subscribe to the above 3 channels and also subscribe to the already existing channels:

This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This will be the very first Netplay Tournament with a Cash prize.
This tournament will last for 12 weeks. The first 3 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate). The next 5 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final game.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is. Your team may also contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to
The games that this tournament will involve:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament (SNES)
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Final Match Tennis (TG)
-Hit the Ice: The Video Hockey League (TG)
-WWF Raw (SNES)
Only 2 games from last summer's teams tournament are present this year, the other 4 are new to the annual teams tournament. You can see the details and results of the 2013 teams tournament here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=61450
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Turbo Grafx games (in fact, if SNES netplay doesn't work for you, you will have a disadvantage but you can still participate)
-You be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 100,000 Viz or US $75
2nd = 50,000 Viz or US $25
3rd = 25,000 Viz
(teams will share the prize)
Penalty:
If you miss more than 25% of your matches, then you'll have 10,000 Viz deducted from your account. If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Tuesday, July 1st
If you want to enter, reply to the below thread with your team name, who the leader of the team is and who is on your team.

I've got a small budget to buy games if anyone is interested in selling games that they no longer need or use. I'll buy almost any game for any system. If it's a retro game that I don't own, I'll probably add it to my personal collection (since my ultimate goal is to have a copy of every game in the RGR) and if it's a more modern game or a game I already do own, I'll sell the game and put the profit toward the site.
Simply respond to this thread letting me know which games you're interested in selling to me. I'll buy the games from you for around 40% of what their worth in real money (and 60% of what their worth in Viz) and if it's a game in my wishlist, I'll give you 50% of what their worth (more info about that below). If you want just Viz, I can pay you in Viz (remember, US $1 = 1000 Viz). I can either pay you with Paypal or order something online for you.
If my offer seems unfair, let me explain how it's actually a good deal. Most game stores and companies give you far less than that when you trade in your games, they usually only give you around 25% of what your games are worth. Also, there needs to be enough room for me to make a profit, especially considering there's various fees involve (amazon or ebay fees), getting the games professionally cleaned, shipping material fees, time and labor involved in testing the games, taking pictures of them, listing them for sale, shipping them up and taking them to the post office, etc.
This is also a great opportunity to earn some money. If you see some cheap games at a local thrift shop (such as Goodwill or Salvation Army) or you find some games at a garage sale, buy them and resell them to me and you could profit it off of it if you get the cheap enough.
You can find out what your games are worth by either using the Video Game Room or this handy tool:
https://www.vizzed.com/priceguide/collection.php
(You would save us both time if you added the games to your collection that you want to sell me)

I've been working on a Pokemon project on the Vizzed Minecraft Server for a while now and soon I'll be ready for others to help me out (click here for more info on the Vizzed Minecraft Server).

I've made 3 updates for the Retro Game Room which will help draw in more users to watch the twitch streams of vizzed users.
1. Toward the top of the RGR index pages where the 'Twitch Streamers' link is, it'll now say how many users are streaming and that number will be in yellow so that it sticks out.
2. Down where it shows all the active netplay sessions on the RGR index page, it'll now show active Twitch Streams as well.
3. If you create a netplay session and stream it as well, there will be a big link under your netplay session on the netplay sessions page showing that you're streaming your netplay session.
These updates will hopefully bring more recognition to the live streams. Before, most users probably didn't visit the netplay stream page because they had no idea whether there would be an active stream on that page. Now that there's messages throughout the RGR letting you know when active streams are available, this should encourage more users to visit that page.
The Twitch Streamer page can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/twitchstreamers.php
If you want your Twitch Channel added to that page, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69017
Keep in mind that if you go more than 30 days without streaming a game in the Retro Game Room, your channel will be removed from that page.
If you have any questions about this update, please ask in this thread:

Create the Best Redstone Structure & win Viz or Cash!
Create the best structure that utilizes Redstone in some way. It can be almost anything just as long as there's Redstone powering something. You can make a booby trap, an obstacle course, a note block song, etc. You can also submit your preexisting structures if they already use Redstone or you can add Redstone functionality to them if you want.

You now have an official place on the site to submit your Minecraft Reviews, Guides, Videos, Threads and Comments. You'll eventually also be able to submit your screenshots to that page as well.
If you own the game, be sure to add it to your Game Collection and insert your in game name so that others know that you own the game. You can do this by clicking the 'Add to Collection' link toward the top of the page.
This is the first PC game page that has been added to the VGR and I plan to add more PC games to the VGR in the future. Keep in mind that the Video Game Room is meant to provide information for games and offers a place for you to submit your content, it does not serve as a place to play games online.

Once a week on every Thursday for this entire month, I plan to create a competition dealing with the Vizzed Minecraft server and in each of those competitions, money and Viz will be up for grabs. Here's this week's competition.
Create Pixel Art in the Open World (pixel art on any of the islands doesn't count). Your "Art" can be either a single sprite graphic or multiple sprites graphics joined together. Once this competition ends, staff will vote on which structure they think is the best. You can see an example of my submission in the submission thread. For more information on the Vizzed Minecraft Server and how to join, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152
To enter, simply take a screenshot of your completed pixel art and submit it to this thread. Be sure to give your submission a title. You can either upload the screenshot to the Photo Album and than embed it to your post or you can upload the screenshot with your post, screenshots posted any other way don't count (they have to be hosted on vizzed). The Photo Album can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/smd/photoalbum.php
It's recommended that you place a claim around your pixel art. If you don't make a claim around your art, you'll be unable to remove blocks if you make a mistake and other users will be able to make a claim on your pixel art and potentially destroy it. You should also place a sign in front of your pixel art so that we all know who made it and what it's of. For more information on land claiming, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152#Claims
To take a screenshot in Minecraft, all you have to do is press F2. If you want to take the screenshot without the menus, press F1 to remove the menus. If you want to change your perspective, press F5. For more information on Minecraft screenshots and for where to find them, go here:
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Screenshots
If you already made some pixel art but not in the Open World, I can move it for you so that it qualifies. To get to the Open World, you can either take the subway station to it (which can be found underneath the Vizzed Ville Town Square) or you can walk there but heading to the really long island next to Vizzed Ville and taking the path that leads down into the water tunnel. There's a shop in the open world which has 16 colors of wool and clay which can be used to make the art.
Here are the prizes:
1st: US $25 or 37,500 Viz / MViz
2nd: 20,000 Viz / MViz
3rd: 10,000 Viz / MViz
I can pay you by either PayPal or by buying something online for you. If your structure was built by more than 1 user, than the earnings will be split.
Competition ends:
May 8th

EDIT: Remaking this announcement since I provided the wrong link to the Official Minecraft server thread with the last one.
The Vizzed Minecraft Server is ready for anyone who has a copy of PC Minecraft to join:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152
For now, the point of this server is to work together and populate 3 towns. You buy lots with MViz (you can convert your Viz to MViz; more info in the above URL). The first time you play on this server, you'll start out in Vizzed Ville. That is the main town but most of the lots are taken. If you turn around, that bridge leads to Iggy Land which has a lot of cheap lots. Than there's a 3rd island with Geeogree's town but the lots there are expensive and reserved for rich Vizzed users.
I've also got 2 contests going on where you can earn Viz and Cash.
Build the Best Structure in Minecraft = Earn up to $30 or 40,000 Viz
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75273
Take the Best Screenshots = Earn up to $10 or 15,000 Viz
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75243
I'm titling this a Beta Launch since not everything is ready yet and since I haven't finished typing up the thread for the server with all the details and future plans. Anyways, the server is ready to everyone to join. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152
I'll make another thread once the server is no longer "beta".
If you don't have a copy of Minecraft but still want to see what the Vizzed Minecraft server is all about, I'll be streaming the server for a little while on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
I apologize for the delays.
The Vizzed Minecraft server has been delayed but it will be ready in an hour. IgorBird122 is still finishing up stuff in his town and I'm working on typing up the thread with all the details regarding the server.
Also, since there's an in game currency which for the time being I'll be called MineViz (MV for short), I'll allow you guys to buy your in game currency now so that when the server is ready for launch, you have money to spend. Everyone starts out with $100 in the game and here's how much lots cost:
Small Lot = 500 MV (max 2 per user)
Medium Lot = 1000 MV (max 2 per user)
Large Lot = 2500 MV (max 1 per user)
Each lot will come with a chest full of items.
Items cost money too. For example, a bundle of 64 Stone Blocks will cost $9 and additional items can be purchased in either the Vizzed Mall or in IgorBird122's shop. IgorBird122's shop, which is in his town, has more items (until I can finish the Vizzed Mall) so if you want a wider variety of items, go to his town to buy from him.
1 MV = 1 Viz so however much MV you want, send IgorBird122 that amount of Viz. Be sure to tell him your Minecraft username!
Below is a map of the Vizzed Ville town.
If you have any questions, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75150
The Vizzed Minecraft server that many of you have been waiting for will be launched on Friday, April 17th, at around 7 PM central time. The launch may be an hour early or an hour late, so the launch may be anywhere between 6 PM - 8 PM since we're still finalizing things with that server.
The server will basically involve everyone working together to build 'Vizzed Ville' in Minecraft. Users will be able to purchase lots and building materials using Viz. Anyone can join in once it's launched, all you need is a copy of the PC version of Minecraft. If you don't have a copy, you can purchase one online or in stores (like Walmart or Target) for only $26.95.
I'll be making a separate announcement and thread once it's ready to launch with full details regarding the rules and purpose of the server. I'll also be live streaming it on my Twitch Channel so anyone who doesn't have a way to join us can still somewhat experience it.
If you have any questions or feedback, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75118

My quest continues to obtaining physical copies of games for the Retro Game Room. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include Super Nintendo, Nintendo, any of the Game Boys, Nintendo 64, Genesis, Playstation, Nintendo DS, etc (basically anything).
Here's a few examples of items that you might want to earn Viz for:
15,000 Viz = Game Accelerator - Makes games download faster (for most people)
25,000 Viz = V-Machine item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games)
50,000 Viz = Playstation item - Allows you to play 400+ different Playstation games
Any game that is donated that I already own (or isn't retro) will be sold and all the money made from sold games will go toward expanding Vizzed. It costs a lot of money to keep this site up and I know a lot of users want to help out but don't have money to donate so this is a great opportunity, especially since a lot of you probably have games lying around that you don't plan to play anymore and may even need to make room for new games.
Respond to the following thread with a list of games you're willing to donate and I'll tell you how much Viz I'd give you for the games and I'll PM you the address to send the games to. The following thread also has more information on this offer.
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=58552
Vizzed has just exceeded 1,000,000 posts! As a way to celebrate, I've made it so that posts are worth twice as much Viz for 1 week (until April 12th)! This also includes Threads, Reviews, Walkthroughs and Articles.
So how big of an accomplishment is 1 Million? Well we pulled it off in just under 10 years (the overall post count began on 12-06-04). The site was averaging around 100-200 posts per a day when this current Vizzed Board launched, now days it averages 400-500 posts a day. Now it may seem like the site's post count hasn't gone up very much since its launch but the 100-200 posts a day only lasted for the first few months of the site, after that the average was around 100 and it just kept dropping. At one point the site was averaging around 5 posts a day back in 2006 and there were even times when the site went more than 1 day without a single post. Things started picking up again in 2008 with 25-100 becoming the average and things really took off in 2009 when the Retro Game Room was added to the site.
A few fun facts:
-It took around 21,880 users to pull that off
-The 1 million posts on the site contain 56,871,406 words
-The average user post count is 45 (excluding non-posters)
-The average post size is 56 words
-The site has averaged 293 posts per a day since its launch
-The site has 75,625 threads which means the average thread has 13 replies
-The thread with the most replies is Corrupt-A-Wish! with 9,110 replies
-The biggest (non-copied) post with the most words is in The Children of Destiny thread with 30,507 words
-The thread with the most total likes is Tour de Vizzed: Winter 2014 = EideticMemory wins! with 83
-The thread with the most total dislikes is I've Decided to Auction This Forum with 23
-The post with the most likes is this one with 39 likes
-The post with the most dislikes is this one with 13 dislikes
Just like I did in the 1 Billion view count thread, I need to thank the staff (and the past staff too) for helping me keep this site under control and to help me keep the forum civilized. I'd also like to thank all the users who have posted and have helped make 1 Million posts possible. Not a lot of forums live long enough to ever reach 1 million posts so I'm pretty proud that Vizzed Board has been able to stick around long enough to pull it off.
1 Billion views was a huge accomplishment but I think 1 Million posts is an even bigger accomplishment because 1 Billion views can be done without a community but 1 Million posts can only be done with the help of an awesome and loyal community. Both Milestones are amazing though and we've been spoiled to witness both so close together. It's unfortunate that it'll be a very long time before we hit another huge significant milestone and even more unfortunate that a lot of the current active users wont be around for those milestones. This is not a time to think about that though, this is a time for party! A round of Vizzed Soda on me!

This affects those who record and upload videos to Vizzed with the RGR Plugin. Between now and October of 2014, the maximum length of videos is currently 15 minutes. If your video exceeds 15 minutes, you'll either want to upload it to your personal YouTube account or break the video into 15 minute parts.
This is because of a restriction YouTube placed on my account. For more information:

Nintendo and Vizzed have been working together quietly for a while now and we've finally come to an agreement. The decision has been made that Nintendo will be purchasing the Vizzed name, company and domain. The game titled 'Vizzed Flash Bash' that Sega has been developing for Nintendo with Vizzed will continue development.

I've got some updates regarding the Bomberman '94 Netplay Tournament.
I've extended the sign up deadline by a week! The tournament will now begin on Monday, April 7th.
I've also made the scheduling more flexible and removed Monday and replaced it with Friday. Users will be able to pick which days they want to play their matchup. This means that all you have to do is be available during 2 out of the 4 days that the matchups take place in order to participate. So if you're available during at least 2 of the following times and days, than you may enter:
Tuesday: 7 PM - 8 PM (central time)
Wednesday: 7 PM - 8 PM (central time)
Thursday: 7 PM - 8 PM (central time)
Friday: 7 PM - 8 PM (central time)
For more information and to sign up, go here:

Two months ago, the successful Pokemon Osmium: The Game thread came to an end, but now it’s time for season 2 of the popular series in the form of the Pokemon Osmium Grand Championship. This time around, the game is much bigger, and so are the prizes.
Sign ups for the competition will last until April 4th 9PM server time and the competition will begin April 5th at Noon. Signing up is free for now, and you are all encouraged to participate in order to claim the top prize of at least 100,000 Viz. What’s unique about this competition, is that the total prize pool will increase based on how much activity the game creates. If dozens of users sign up and actively participate, the total prize pool could easily hit 200,000 viz, and could even go as high as 500,000. Remember, the more active the game is, the higher the prize, and the more people will be rewarded.
The game will follow the structure of the original game which can be found here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=66425
You can sign up for the competition here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=74129
To sign up, reply to the thread with your desired trainer name and starter Pokemon. Accepted Starter Pokemon are listed in the first post.
This is basically a Role Play where you battle other users, catch and train pokemon, battle gyms, and more. Every valid post mad during the contest and every in game action will get you a certain number of points, these points will be used to determine who the winners are. Specific instructions and rules will be posted after sign ups close, but will not vary too much from that of the original game.
If less than 16 users sign up, the competition will not begin, and if a certain level of activity is not met during each month of the competition, the minimum of 100,000 Viz will be awarded. (Level of activity will be determined by number of participants.)
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points.
Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7 PM central time or 7:30 PM central time on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
Requirements:
-You must be available between 7 PM - 8 PM central time Monday-Thursday nights
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 100,000 Viz
2nd = 50,000 Viz
3rd = 25,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, March 31st.

Vizzed has just exceeded 1,000,000,000 views! As a way to celebrate, I made a new background for the site (many users hated the previous) and I've also made new icons for the Retro Game Room and the Video Game Room.
So how big of an accomplishment is 1 Billion? Well we pulled it off in just under 10 years (the view count began on 12-06-04). The site was averaging around 3,500 views per a day when this current Vizzed Board launched, now days it averages 1,500,000 views per a day. Not many sites publicly display their view count these days but out of the ones that do, I can't imagine too many sites exceeding 1 Billion views.
So how many people did it take to pull that off? Using my Google Analystics data, I've estimated that nearly 30 million unique users have used this site since it launched. 13+ million of those unique visitors have been from the United States which means around 4% of the USA's population has visited Vizzed.com at least once in their life.
Like always, I need to thank the staff for helping me keep this site active. As the site generates more and more traffic, it also demands more and more hours to keep under control.
Help celebrate this achievement, post in the celebration thread here:

Last summer I started a Pokemon Rom Hacking competition where users could win and earn money by creating hacks for Vizzed:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=62280
That competition has finally come to an end and now has entered a 3 month long voting period (May 21st is when it ends). You can find all of the hacks that were submitted to this competition (and qualify) here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?sort=best&search=Pokemon&publisher=Vizzed
That URL displays all of the games in order of which is currently considered "the best", and that's how we'll choose which rom hack wins the competition ("best" = rating * vote count). Feel free to play each of the 6 games that were entered and be sure to rate each game that you play.
Even though it's too late to submit hacks to this competition, if you're interested in learning how to create your own Pokemon rom hacks and want to submit them to Vizzed.com, you can find out how to do so here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60387
If you have any questions or feedback, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=73089
UPDATE: My list mostly complete now, it contains all of the games and systems that I own and all that I have for sale as well. It's missing some accessories which I'll get added in later. I've also extended the 20% off deadline to next Tuesday since that's when I'll be putting my stuff up for sale on Amazon and Ebay (I'll make a separate announcement when I do that).
Vizzed doesn't earn the income that it use to, the site has taken 2 revenue drops over the past few years which has left me with very little to no budget to expand the site in certain directions that I want to expand and it has also left me with no budget to get more plugin
Selling Video Games
As many of you know, I've got a huge game collection and I've been expanding it for years. I rarely buy games at full price so this allows me to expand faster and to make a small profit for the site when I resell doubles or games that I don't need to own. What this means is that I'm selling real physical games for real physical money if anyone is interested in buying any of the games that I'm selling.
I currently have 500+ games for sale for systems including DS, GB, GBC, GBA, GC, GG, N64, NES, PS2, PSX, SNES, Wii, X360, XB and more. I still have a few more games to add to my for sale collection and I still have to add systems and accessories so hopefully my collection will be up to date by Wednesday.
If there are any games that I have for sale that you're interested in buying, either PM me or respond to this thread (I'll respond quicker if you reply to this thread). I'll give a 20% discount for any game you buy between now and February 20th and I'll offer free shipping if you buy more than $25 worth of games (free shipping offer not available to users who live outside of the United States). I haven't listed anything for sale on Ebay or Amazon yet but I will in 5 days.
You can find a list of games that I have for sale with their prices and details here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=collection&filter=sell
Buying Video Games
I've got a small budget to buy games if anyone is interested in selling games that they no longer need or use. I'll buy almost any game for any system. If it's a retro game that I don't own, I'll probably add it to my personal collection (since my ultimate goal is to have a copy of every game in the RGR) and if it's a more modern game or a game I already do own, I'll sell the game and put the profit toward the site.
Simply respond to this thread letting me know which games you're interested in selling to me. I'll buy the games from you for 40% of what their worth in real money (and 60% of what their worth in Viz) and if it's a game in my wishlist, I'll give you 50% of what their worth (more info about that below). If you want just Viz, I can pay you in Viz (remember, US $1 = 1000 Viz). I can either pay you with Paypal or order something online for you.
If my offer seems unfair, let me explain how it's actually a good deal. Most game stores and companies give you far less than that when you trade in your games, they usually only give you around 25% of what your games are worth. Also, there needs to be enough room for me to make a profit, especially considering there's various fees involve (amazon or ebay fees), getting the games professionally cleaned, shipping material fees, time and labor involved in testing the games, taking pictures of them, listing them for sale, shipping them up and taking them to the post office, etc.
You can find out what your games are worth by either using the Video Game Room or this handy tool:
https://www.vizzed.com/priceguide/collection.php
(You would save us both time if you added the games to your collection that you want to sell me)
Trading Video Games
I'm also willing to trade games if you want games on my for sale list and if I have games on my wishlist that you own. I currently have 65 games in my wishlist for systems including 3DS, DS, GBA, GC, N64, NES, PS2, SNES, SS, Wii, X360 and XB. The games you want from my collection have to be around the same value as the games you're offering me from my wishlist (the trade should either be fair or in my favor).
You can find out what games are in my wishlist here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=wishlist
Do you want to buy, sell or trade with other users?
You can use the Vizzed Market to make trades and deals with other users. If you have games for sale, games to trade or a list of games you want to buy, feel free to make a thread there.
You can find the Vizzed Market here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/forum.php?id=16
Find out what your Game Collection is worth
You can keep track of all the games you own and also find out what your entire game collection is worth by adding games to your Game Collection. You can do so by either searching for the games in the Video Game Room or by using the Batch game look tool which I provided a link to above (if you use the tool, be sure to click the 'Add games to collection' button once you're done).
If you want to see my game collection (missing around 20% of my collection but I'll get everything added by Wednesday) you can view it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=collection
(I might make a youtube video showing my entire collection a week from now if users are interested)

I've spent the past few days adding a bunch of awesome features to the Video Game Room.
Systems, Controllers & Accessories Added
The Video Game Room now includes Systems, Controllers and Accessories. A lot of them currently have no price data and most of them have no images but that'll change in the near future. There's also a lot of hardware missing so if you notice something that needs to be added, contact the RGR Staff.
The pages for video game hardware will basically be the same as a game page except with a few features missing. You'll be able to see prices, a rarity score, ebay listings and you'll be able to add them to your Game Collection and Wishlist. You'll also be able to review them, make comments on them, make threads about them and submit content to them.
To me personally, this is an awesome
The following search will display just hardware in the Video Game Room:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/index.php?noRetail=true&noDigital=true
Video Game Room Filters and Additional Details
You can now have the VGR search filter your results. You can have it so that it doesn't return Digital Games, Retail Games and/or Hardware. You can also have it show just Hardware, to do this you'll want to first click 'X Digital Games' and than on the new page you'll want to than click 'X Retail Games' and than you'll be seeing Systems, Controllers and Accessories only.
The search results of the VGR will show whether a listing is a Game or a Hardware. If it's a game, it'll also let you know what type of game it is (for example, Arcade Game, Indie Game, eShop Game, PSN Game, etc).
Here's an example of a Hardware search:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/index.php?noDigital=true&noRetail=true
More Content and Systems Added
Over the past few months, the RGR Staff and myself have invested many hours to adding content and graphics to the games of the VGR. Many hours have also been spent sorting through ebay listings so that the prices displayed on the game pages are as accurate as we can get them. The staff have also been working hard to get the latest games added.
I've also added few systems lately, which include CD-i, N-Gage, Odyssey 2, Neo Geo CD and a few others.
You can find a full list of Game Systems in the VGR here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/browse.php?sort=system
Game Collection Profile
The Game Collection of your profile now only displays up to 10 games per a system but offers a link that you can click which will quickly display the rest of the games you own for that system. For users like myself who have a lot of games in their collection, having them all displayed by default made it hard to navigate the page, with this
The Game Collection displays any accessories, controllers or systems that you add to your collection. The listings for each system will be separated based on what it is and all hardware will have an initial next to it specifying what it is.
You can view my Game Collection to see an example of these
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=collection
(Note: I have yet to add my entire collection to my vizzed profile)
Collection Grade
Your collections are now given a Grade based on all of the rarity scores of your game collection. Each game in the VGR has a rarity score which is based on how often that specific game or hardware appears on ebay. So you can get a grade from anywhere between an F to an A+ (A+ being near impossible to get).
You can find more information regarding the Video Game Rarity Guide here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=72196

CP VCS = Earn Staff Position or Forum
The seasonal CP VCS edition competition is going on this month and for the first time ever, users have a shot at renting their own forum on vizzed and being awarded a staff position. Here are the prizes:
1st. 50,000 Viz or Offered a Staff Position* or a Rented Forum
2nd. 25,000 Viz or Offered a Staff Position*
3rd. 10,000 Viz or Offered a Staff Position*
4th. 2500 Viz
5th. 1000 Viz
*Only members with positive Trust Points qualify
The CP VCS is a competition where the top 10 users each day that earned the most CP get points toward the competition so the competition involves doing things for the site including taking screenshots, submitting videos, writing reviews, referring people to the site, posting, writing walkthroughs and so much more. You can find a list of ways to earn CP here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/contributionpoints.php
TIP: The 2 best ways of earning CP are Writing Walkthroughs (the bigger, the most CP you get) and by recording videos with the RGR Plugin and submitting them to the site and site's YouTube channel.
The official February 2014 VCS CP thread can be found here:

For the past five months in any free time I've found, I've been adding games to the Retro Game Room, which has accumulated into quite a list. Close to 450 games have been added in the past five months.
If you're looking for a new game to play, or a new hack, check out the list:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=71579
My quest continues to obtaining physical copies of games for the Retro Game Room. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include Super Nintendo, Nintendo, any of the Game Boys, Nintendo 64, Genesis, Playstation, Nintendo DS, etc (basically anything).
Here's a few examples of items that you might want to earn Viz for:
15,000 Viz = Game Accelerator - Makes games download faster (for most people)
25,000 Viz = V-Machine item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games)
50,000 Viz = Playstation item - Allows you to play 380+ different Playstation games
Any game that is donated that I already own (or isn't retro) will be sold and all the money made from sold games will go toward expanding Vizzed. It costs a lot of money to keep this site up and I know a lot of users want to help out but don't have money to donate so this is a great opportunity, especially since a lot of you probably have games lying around that you don't plan to play anymore and may even need to make room for new games.
Respond to the following thread with a list of games you're willing to donate and I'll tell you how much Viz I'd give you for the games and I'll PM you the address to send the games to. The following thread also has more information on this offer.

This is an "Official" Vizzed tournament. As some of you know, I plan to hold 4 a year.
Unlike the last Vizzed Tournament (which will be headed to the final round next week), this tournament will be all elimination rounds, well double elimination to be exact. In other words, lose 2 games and you're out of the tournament.
Everyone starts out in the "winners" bracket and if you lose, you go on to the "losers" bracket and if you lose in the losers bracket, you're out of the tournament. At the very end, the winner of the winners bracket and the winner of the losers bracket play each other but the winner of the losers bracket has to beat the winner of the winners bracket twice (this makes it fair to the user who went undefeated for going undefeated).
Since this is a double elimination tournament, there is no way for me to know how long it'll last since the amount of people who sign up determines how long it'll last but if I were to take a guess, I'd say around 6 weeks. I will allow any number of users to join but we will need an even number. Bye weeks may be handed out to users who do very well if needed in order to balance out the structuring of the brackets.
We'll be playing most of the multiplayer games that are on the Wii-U's latest game called 'NES Remix', which includes: Balloon Fight, Baseball, Clu Clu Land, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, Golf, Ice Climber, Mario Bros., Pinball, Tennis, Urban Champion, and Wrecking Crew. The players of each matchup will get to choose which game they want to pick and each matchup will involve you playing at least 2 games with each user picking one of them and if one user wins both games, they are declared winner of that matchup but if each player wins 1 game each, players both pick 1 more game each and do the process over again and this cycle repeats until one of the user wins both selected games.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:

Prizes:
1st = 50,000 Viz
2nd = 25,000 Viz
3rd = 10,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, January 20th.

Free Netplay
For the rest of this month, you do not need the Netplay item to create netplay sessions of games in the Retro Game Room (normally it costs 10,000 Viz for this item). Netplay in the Retro Game Room allows you to play multiplayer games with other users on the site, supported game systems include: Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Turbo Grafx and Nintendo 64.

Vizzed.com is looking for users who are willing to play games in the Retro Game Room and live stream themselves doing so. If you're not familiar with live streaming but are interested, sign up to http://www.twitch.tv/ and you can find out how to live stream and they'll also provide you the tools to live stream on their site.
You can stream yourself playing any game, do what you're interested in doing or what you think will get you viewers. You can stream yourself playing through a game, you can stream yourself playing Christmas games, you can stream yourself trying out rom hacks, you can stream yourself playing netplay games with others, etc.
I'll pay you 10,000 Viz a month if you do at least 10 hours worth of streaming games in the Retro Game Room. It'll be your responsibility to contact me once a month letting me know that you did the 10+ hours. This is a great opportunity for anyone to earn some Viz and to potentially make money off of twitch as well (you can earn money on twitch if you become popular enough). Most of you are already playing games in the RGR so why not stream yourself playing games while your at it and get rewarded?

Video Game Wish Lists
I've added a new feature to the site: Wishlist. This is a Video Game Room exclusive feature and it allows you to add games to your own Wishlist.
How to use it:
Go to the Video Game Room (link can be found at the top left of every page) and find a game. From the game's page, toward the top of the page right below the game's title you'll see a link that says 'Add to Wishlist'; click that and simply fill out the form. Your profile will than keep track of every game you would like to one day own and you'll be able to see the wishlists of other users as well (the link to a user's wishlist can be found at the top right of their profile).
Benefits of this feature:
-Helps you keep track of all the games you'd like to own someday
-If someone has a game in their Game Collection for sale that you add to your Wishlist, it'll notify that user that you want to own a game that they want to sell
-Likewise, if you add a game to your Wishlist and someone adds that same game to their Game Collection and also marks it as for sale, you'll be notified
-This feature can also help users find users to trade and borrow games with
If you want to see an example of what a Wishlist looks like, you can see mine here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=wishlist
Win a Game that you've added to your Wishlist!
As a way to promote this feature and the Game Collection feature (and as a way to do something fun for Christmas), I'm giving away $100 worth of games as Christmas presents. So basically I will pick a random user who has added at least 1 game to their Wishlist and pick a random game from their list and buy them that game and send it to them as a Christmas gift (and they'll receive it before Christmas).
Rules:
1. You must have at least 1 game on your Wishlist. The more games you add, the better your chances are of winning but anything past 16 games wont increase your chances (but you're still encouraged to add more than 16 games if you have more than 16 games that you want).
2. Add every game that you physically own to your Game Collection. The more games you have in your game collection the better your chances are of winning but anything past 64 games wont increase your chances (but you're still encouraged to add more than 64 games if you really own more than 64 games). You can add games to your game collection either from the game pages of the Video Game Room or from the Batch Game Adder page)
3. Reply to this thread to apply: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69131
Tip:
My budget is $100 and I'll continue to give out games until my budget runs out. The games I give out will not exceed $60. I'll pick a random qualifying game from your list if you get
Offer ends on December 11th and that's also when the winners will be revealed.

I've been working with a company that makes clear plastic boxes and I've ordered a huge quantity of what I'm calling game box protectors. You put your boxed games in the box protectors and it keeps it safe. I'm currently selling them on amazon as you can see here so they're currently only available to USA users. I'm selling box protectors for Nintendo NES, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. The Game Boy box protectors also work for Virtual Boy. The SNES/N64 box protectors also work for Atari Jaguar. The NES box protectors also worked for the cardboard boxed Genesis and 32X games.
Here's links to the amazon pages and also images of what they look like:

If anyone is interested in receiving a free sample, there are 3 ways you can get one from me:
1. Take a picture of an actual boxed NES, GB, GBC, GBA, N64 or SNES game that you own as proof that you'd have a use for this box protector, make sure to write your username down on something and place it in the picture. Submit that picture to this thread.
or
2. Send me 1000 Viz
or
3. Be a staff member
I'm giving out only 1 sample per a user but if you haven't got a sample of my SNES/N64 box protectors yet, you can still qualify for a free sample of one of those.
If you do either of the top 3 things, I'll give you a $4 amazon gift card, enough to buy a sample of any of my box protectors, the only requirement is that you have to live in the USA. Be sure to let me know which one you want a sample of or if you want all 3. If you like the Box Protector, than please give me positive feedback on the amazon page.
I know there's a lot of game collectors on this site so I'm sure this will be of interest to someone. All profits that I make will go toward the site. I'm also selling other stuff in my store and plan to add more stuff to sell as seen here:

In a week from now, you'll no longer be able to retrieve screenshots that were taken more than a year ago. Screenshots that you've already submitted to a game page will be fine but you wont be able to edit their information anymore if they're over a year old.
This update is necessary so that users can no longer submit screenshots to the wrong game. A year ago I made an update to the way screenshots are handled and all screenshots after that update are being named correctly while the ones before that update were being named incorrectly which resulted into users being able to submit a screenshot to the wrong game but with the same name that the screenshot was taken from (so for example, if you took a screenshot of "Toy Story 2" for the Game Boy Color, the scr

The site migration and maintenance is complete. The site should now be working properly and running at top speed.
For those who don't know, the site has been in the process of a migration over the past few months and in the past few days, that process has been finalizing. This migration was a mandatory hostgator migration and I'm real glad it's finally done. This also means that the site wont be going down at 6 AM (central time) every day due to backups, it'll only go down once a week now at that same time for a single weekly backup.

The Pokemon Rom Hacking competition deadline has been extended by 3 months. The deadline was originally October 16th, 2013 but the new deadline is January 21st, 2014. The reason for the extension is due to the lack of hacks submitted for the competition. With this extension, there's plenty of time to start making your own Pokemon hack and way more than enough time to finish any hacks you might have in progress for the competition.

This is a feature that some of you know about that I've been working on for a few weeks on and off. It's now ready for testing. To test it out, find a game in the Video Game Room that you own in real life and than click the 'Add to Collection' link right under the game's name. This will bring up a form, fill it out as accurately as you can for the most accurate price of what your game is worth. Once you've added a game to your collection, a link on your profile will appear that will allow you and others to see a list of all the games in your collection. You can view my collection here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=collection
(note that I still have yet to add all of my games to it, I have way more than 3)
The video game price guide is a feature that will allow you to look up the price of a game and also add games that you really own to your collection list.
Benefits of adding your games to your collection list:
-Helps you keep track of what you own
-It'll give you the value of each game you own (doesn't include all systems or games yet)
-It'll give you the total value of your entire collection
-Allows you to show off your collection
Future benefits:
-If you
-If you
-Game Collector Card: Every user will have a generated card graphic which rates their collection and gives a few facts and statistics about it and users will be able to share that card by either placing it in their layout or placing it on another site (and when clicked, it takes the user to your game collection)
-Plenty more that I'm not ready to share yet
Other future features:
-Will include game systems and accessories
-I'll be adding more game to the VGR (not RGR)
-Collection categorized by system
-Collection filter to order your collection by price, date acquired, etc
-A quick add game page which will allow you to add your collection quickly
-A page showing the most valuable games and the newly listed ebay listings
-A statistics page showing which users own the most games for which system and all systems
-A printable price guide for each system
-Charts showing if a game's value is going up or down and by how much
-Charts also showing if your game collection is going up or down and by how much
-Mobile app (more details on that later)
-Plenty more that I'm not ready to share yet
The prices are based on ebay listings and there are some ebay listings that don't get placed in the proper category or under the proper game. On any game page, if you click the 'Price Guide' link, you'll see all of the ebay listings that the price numbers are based on. Currently only staff can remove listings that don't belong to a certain game but every user has the ability to move a listing to the proper category (for example, if you see a game that's listed as 'New' but it's really 'Complete', you can move it). You get CP and Viz for helping categorize the listings but you do have a daily limit on how many listings you can categorize and the staff will monitor this stuff to make sure no one is intentionally moving listings to the wrong category.
If you have any questions, comments or feedback, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=65875
EDIT: Since this feature launched in beta, the following updates have been added:
Profile Collection Updates:
-Games are now organized by game system
-Your collection now displays not only displays total value and game count but also the total value and game count of each system
-If user has added gamertag to their profile (just added) and if they've also selected 'Play Online' for a game, it'll show their gamertag in the 'Play Online' column
Game Submission and Edit Updates:
-Condition area only appears if you selected Loose or Complete
-VGA Grade area only appears if you selected New
-Added 'Digital' if your game was a digital download
-Completeness area has been moved to the left and Condition to the right
-The 'Play Online' area only appears if the game system supports online play
-When you Edit or Remove a game, you get redirected to your profile
-When you Add a game, you can click to be redirected to profile, game or search
-Ability to add your Nintendo Friend Code to your games (go to edit your profile to add your xbox gamertag or playstation name which will be applied to all your xbox or playstation games)
The PSX item and games are back to their original Viz prices and creating netplay sessions now requires the netplay item again, however, I've added 3 new systems to the site for a total of 195 games. Almost every game was added for the 3 new systems so they're almost complete libraries. Below are the newly added systems:
Virtual Boy: 28 Games added
This was a cartridge system made by Nintendo that failed miserably in the mid 90s. The system mounted to your head in order for the games to appear 3D (all the games were in red). The games on vizzed don't support the stereoscopic 3D but the emulator has been modified to play the games in a clear 2D.
Turbo Grafx CD: 102 Games added
This was a CD addon system made by NEC for the Turbo Grafx, similar to the Sega CD addon for the Sega Genesis. Most of the games for this system were released in Japan but it did have some American releases. Since it's a CD system, the games are very large. This system does support netplay on vizzed.
PC-FX: 65 Games Added
This was a 32 bit CD system made by NEC that was only released in Japan. This system is incredibly rare and the only opportunity you'll probably ever have to play this system is by playing it on vizzed. The games have a lot of anime cut scenes as to why the games are very large. The 8 multi disc games for this system currently don't support disc swapping, this will be fixed in the future. This system also support netplay on vizzed.
All of these systems are rare and it's safe to assume that most of you probably haven't heard of all of these systems and some of you probably haven't heard of any of these systems but that's what vizzed is all about, discovering games that would otherwise be forgotten and unheard of.
It took me a quite a bit of time to find and add these games so if you want to help out, help add content to the newly added games such as screenshots, reviews or videos. Since 2 of the new CD system's games cost a lot of Viz and since the V-Machine and Laptop item doesn't cover CD systems, users are going to be in need of Viz so if you do any of the below offers for the new systems, I'll give you 15,000 Viz (which is enough for the Download Accelerator which will make these games download faster).
-Take 10 unique screenshots for 5 different newly added games (total of 50 screenshots) for games that don't already have screenshots
or
-Take a total of 2 hours worth of videos for 2 or more games
or
-Write 1000+ words worth of reviews (example: 2 500 word reviews, 1 1000 word review, etc)
Offer expires 10/20/2013

After battling with site issues for the past month or so, I think I've finally fixed the problem where the site would get really slow and constantly go down. I've spent countless hours working on the site to get back to the speed it use to be it wasn't soon enough because the site's traffic has dropped by around half which means the site revenue has dropped by half as well. Donations would be great to help me keep up with the site finances but what would help out the site even more is if you all told your friends about the site and advertised vizzed.com wherever you can, it'd be great to get some of that traffic back.
As a reward for everyone's patience during this time, all of the games are 50% off of their normal Viz prices and netplay is free until September 22nd (the games had been free during the time the site was slow but they didn't save to profiles since you weren't actually "buying" them when they were free). Another way I plan on saying thanks to everyone's loyalty is by releasing more games to the site in September. I'll release 3-5 new systems in the month of September. And for my last reward, the Playstation item in the item shop is 50% off which puts it down to 25,000 Viz!

This is a new monthly competition which will take place every 3 months, August, November, February and May. This competition is very similar to the VCS competition except this competition isn't a posting competition, it's a competition based on Contribution Points.
For those who don't know, CP is a measure of how much you contribute to the site. Almost every action on the site has CP and Viz attached to it. The higher your CP is, the more features that will be available to you, the more Viz you can earn and the more respected you'll be among the staff and the rest of the users. It will also increase your chances of becoming a staff member.
List of Contribution Point Actions and a list of points you've earned:

I've been working with a company that makes clear plastic boxes and I've ordered a huge quantity of what I'm calling game box protectors. You put your boxed games in the box protectors and it keeps it safe. I'm currently selling them on amazon as you can see here so they're currently only available to USA users. I'm selling box protectors for Nintendo NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.
Here's links to the amazon pages and also images of what they look like:
Nintendo NES Box Protectors
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3OBDZ0
Game Boy Color/Advance Box Protectors
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E70AFOK
Free Samples Available:
If anyone is interested in receiving a free sample, there are 3 ways you can get one from me:
1. Take a picture of an actual boxed NES, GB, GBC or GBA game that you own as proof that you'd have a use for this box protector, make sure to write your username down on something and place it in the picture. Submit that picture to this thread.
or
2. Send me 1000 Viz (or 2000 if you want 2 samples).
or
3. Be a staff member
If you do either of the top 3 things, I'll give you a $4 amazon gift card, enough to buy a sample of either the Nintendo NES or Game Boy box protector, the only requirement is that you have to live in the USA. Be sure to let me know which one you want a sample of or if you want both. If you like the Box Protector, than please give me positive feedback on the amazon page. I plan to also sell SNES/N64 box protectors in the future.
I know there's a lot of game collectors on this site so I'm sure this will be of interest to someone. All profits that I make will go toward the site. I'm also selling other stuff in my store and plan to add more stuff to sell as seen here:

Btw, maintenance is still going on and I still have no idea when it'll be finished. Instead of backing up the site 3 times a day, I'm only going to do it twice a day, 12 pm (central time) and 11 pm (central time)
There's still no word on when the maintenance will be complete, hostgator is taking their time and giving me very little information.
In the previous announcement I mentioned backing up the site 3 times a day. Basically any content submitted to the site before I make a backup will most likely be safe and has a better chance of not being lost. Any content made after a backup has a better chance of being lost once the migration is complete; read the previous announcement for more information as to why this is the case.
Here are the times I'll be making the backups (the times aren't exact):
-11 AM Central Time
-5 PM Central Time
-11 PM Central Time
So if you plan to submit a lot of content to the site, try to do it before a backup.
I should also point out that while these backups take place, the site will become slower and will go down a few times. The backups shouldn't take more than 15-30 minutes each.
If you have any questions, please ask here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=62785
Site maintenance is still going on (refer to previous announcement) and may still take 24-72 hours, however, I've made all the site features available again but here's the catch, it's possible that you could lose 0-8 hours worth of content that you submit to the site during this time. So if you post or send private messages, it's possible that you may lose 8 hours worth of posts or messages so if you make any big posts during this time, be sure to save the contents of your post to word pad or note pad. You will not lose any game saves and if you take any screenshots and they disappear, they're still available on the server, you'll just have to resubmit them. The site will be slower than normal during this maintenance.
The games will continue to be 0 Viz until the maintenance is complete. I will make another announcement when the maintenance is complete.
So what is this maintenance about? Well hostgator decided that I needed to upgrade my server (I had no choice) so started to migrate the database to a new server a few days ago and they still haven't finished. This has forced me to backup the database every 6-12 hours so that when the transfer is complete, the most recent content on the old database isn't lost (as soon as the transfer is complete, they're taking down the old server).
I apologize for this inconvenience and I'll do my best to make it up to you all in the upcoming week.
The site will be undergoing maintenance for the next 24-48 hours. While the maintenance goes on, all of the RGR games will be 0 Viz, so be sure to take advantage of this and play as many games as you want
(you will not get to "keep" them though)
During this time, the following features will still be available:
-Playing games
-Netplay lobby
-Game saving
-Chat Room
-Logging in and logging out
-Profile Commenting
-Many others
Some of the things that you do after the maintenance begins will be lost after the maintenance ends, which includes profile commenting, game rating, screenshot and video rating, Viz earning, game buying/selling, etc.
During this time, the following features will not be available:
-Registration
-Posting
-Game Commenting
-Submitting Screenshots
-Submitting Videos
-HighScore and Speedruns
-Private Message System
I'll make another announcement once everything is back to normal.
Here's your chance to learn how to hack Pokemon games for the Game Boy Advance (Fire Red, Leaf Green, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald) and also earn real money in the process! On top of that cash rewards, you can earn tons of CP and Viz as well.
Here's how it works. You create a Rom hack of any of the GBA Pokemon games and when it's all finished, you send it to tRIUNE and he'll add it to the site so that others can play it. From that point, you can earn $200+. Read below for more details.
What is a Pokemon Rom Hack:
It's where you redesign the towns, change locations of Pokemon, change the Pokemon (including stats, name and looks), graphics, title screen, menus, items, music/sounds, write new scr
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?sort=best&system=gba&search=pokemon&category=10#searchjump
Earnings:
Once the competition is over, whoever has the best rated game with at least 3 votes and at least 5,000 plays wins $200 (real money). 2nd place will win $50. If for some reason very few users enter and therefore no one reaches at least 5,000 plays, than only the 2nd place prize will be handed out.
You can also earn money even if you don't place. Between now and February 16th, for each 10,000 views your game gets, you'll earn $20 (a maximum of $100 per a game). To qualify for this, your game must have at least a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The money can be paid in multiple ways. I can send you the money via paypal, buy you an amazon gift card, buy and send you Microsoft Points, buy and send you Nintendo Points, buy you something online, etc. If you wanted to take Viz instead of the cash, than you could take 300,000 Viz instead of the $200, 75,000 Viz instead of the $50, and 30,000 Viz instead of the $20.
Additional Earnings:
You'll earn 1 Viz for each play your game gets and 0.1 CP for each 10 plays your game gets. So if your game gets 15,000 views (which is about the average amount of views hacked GBA Pokemon games have right now), you'd earn 15,000 Viz and 150 CP. On top of that, you'd earn tons of CP and Viz each time the game receives a good rating. All of these earnings are automated and will be in effect forever, even after this competition is over (if your game has more than 1 developer, earnings will be evenly split among all developers).
Submission Deadline:
October 16th, 2013.
Payout Date:
December 16th, 2013 is when we'll figure out who won and who deserves how much money.
Rules and Info:
-The game must be made for vizzed.com and must be made available only on vizzed
-Vizzed.com must be placed on the title screen somewhere (since vizzed will basically be the "publisher" of your game)
-The hack can be about anything, there aren't really any guidelines to follow
-You may work with a team but you'll than have to split the earnings
-Games must be finished to qualify
-Limit of 3 games per a user (that doesn't include games you work on with others)
-Limit of 5 developers per a game
-Only games created after 7/13/2013 count
-You can hack any of the Pokemon games for Game Boy Advance, which includes Pokemon Fire Red, Pokemon Leaf Green, Pokemon Ruby, Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Emerald
-You may submit your game as a demo/beta to the site to be tested but demos/betas will not qualify for the earnings and we'll only accept them if they're at least 25% complete
-Anyone caught cheating in any way will be disqualified and possibly even banned for life
-You'll be given admin powers for your game pages so that you can add, edit and remove content and graphics
-You may promote your own game by submitting screenshots to it, editing the game page, creating various threads for it (as long as they're not spam), recording videos for it & uploading them to the vizzed youtube account, creating a custom boxart graphic, responding to comments or threads regarding your game, telling your friends about it, advertising it on the internet, etc
Want to learn how to hack Pokemon games?
earthwarrior put together a few threads in the Game Design / RPG Maker / Rom Hacking forum. Here you'll find his General Hacking Guide thread which has all the information you need to start hacking as well as links and resources:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60387
If you have any questions regarding rom hacking or if you need help, ask him in that thread. You can find additional help, create a help thread, or create a project thread here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/forum.php?id=10&sub=Pokemon%20Hacking
(you can also post a thread about your ideas if you want others to join your project)
Tips:
-The more time you put into your rom hack, the more likely it is to earn you money. If you put less than 50 hours into the hack, there's a good chance that you wont earn money from it but your still free to submit it and earn Viz & CP from it.
-Change as many things with your hack as you can. Changing the graphics, music, title screen and/or towns can definitely increase your chances
-Giving it a vizzed theme in some way could increase your chances of winning since the people playing and rating your game will be members of vizzed. Things such as giving users of the site cameos in the game, creating towns based on vizzed, etc.
-Giving it a Christmas or Winter theme could potentially help since the voting will take place around that time. Of course this strategy wouldn't work if to many users tried doing this.
-Play as many GBA Pokemon rom hacks as you can in the Retro Game Room to get ideas and inspiration for your hack.
This competition has the highest payout of any competition vizzed has ever had! I figured there are lots of users who have plenty of free time and would love to put that time to use by making hacks based on their favorite games and than to be able to share them with their friends and earn money in the process.

Thanks to tom760, the developer of the RGR Plugin, the Plugin now works with the latest firefox. The best part about it, you wont even need to upgrade your RGR Plugin, the update was made within the play game window. Be sure to give tom760 a thanks

The latest version of Firefox causes the RGR Plugin to not work. There's 2 solutions to this problem:
1. Use a different internet browser such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc
or
2. Downgrade Firefox to version 21
Here's how to downgrade firefox and to make prevent it from updating again:
1. Download and install firefox version 21 here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/21.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2021.0.exe
(if you need version 21 in a different language, go here)
2. Open up firefox and go to your options window (click the 'Firefox' button at the top right to find the options window), than go to the Advanced tab and than click the Update tab. From here, choose to either check for updates but not install, or never check for updates. This will make it so that firefox wont update itself which would cause the plugin to stop working again.
That's it, simple as that. Once a new version of firefox comes out that doesn't cause RGR Plugin issues, or once we find a better solution and maybe a fix to the problem, I'll make a separate announcement. Thanks to Shadow53 for finding this solution.
If you have any questions or comments, please respond to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=61997
Firefox usually updates itself automatically so this is probably unavoidable but the latest update of Firefox causes the RGR Plugin not to work. The only way to avoid it automatically updating is to keep your firefox open, don't close it or restart your computer, otherwise it'll automatically update.
If it does get updated, you'll have to use a different internet browser for the time being until we can figure out a solution to this problem. I'd recommend using Google Chrome for the time being, or Internet Explorer.

Part of my goal is to obtain real physical copies of as many games in the Retro Game Room as I can. Since I failed at getting anyone to donate games to the site with my recent offer (except for Kryptic, thanks), I figured this way might be a better way. So here's how it'll work.
-Sell to me a retro game that I don't already own and I'll pay you 50% of what it's worth in real money and 50% of what it's worth in Viz
-Sell to me a modern game and I'll pay you 33-50% of what it's worth in real money and 50-67% of what it's worth in Viz
-Sell to me a retro game that I do already own and I'll pay you 25-33% of what it's worth in real money and 67-75% of what it's worth in Viz
(1000 Viz = US $1)
The real money can be paid in many different ways. I can send you the money to your paypal account, I can buy you an amazon gift card, I can send you Microsoft points, I can buy you something online somewhere, etc. You will receive your rewards after I receive the games in the mail (and yes, you are responsible for paying for the shipping). If you want just Viz instead, that is an option and if you did that instead, I'd pay you at a rate of 1500 Viz = US $1.

I've added a new item to the item shop called 'Game Accelerator' (as seen here) which makes the RGR game downloads up to 10 times faster. I did a test on a 13 MB file, without the item the game downloaded in 65 seconds but with the item, the game downloaded in 5 seconds. Staff members don't need the item for faster downloads.
So how does this work? Basically if you own the 'Game Accelerator' item, or are a staff member, your game downloads download from a separate dedicated server than the downloads that regular users have access to. So the site now has 2 servers dedicated to hosting the files.
This does increase monthly costs by nearly $200 but I had to do something because the regular file server gets a lot of downloads and big games can take a very long time to download so for users who play a lot of big games, this is a great solution. This could also pull a little strain off of the regular file server too which could potentially speed up the downloads on that a little. I'm also hoping this encourages users to donate in order to get the 'Game Accelerator' item since it's a very handy item to own.
For now, the Game Accelerator item will cost 10,000 Viz but that price will slowly go up as more and more users get the item so be sure to get it now at the best price, otherwise you could pay 2-5 times more in the future.

You can earn up to 10,000 Viz for each of the above competitions, so be sure to compete!
This is an "Official" Vizzed tournament. As some of you know, I plan to hold 4 a year.
This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams.
This tournament will last for 12 weeks. The first 3 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate). The next 5 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final game.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your team mate and let me know what your team name is. Your team may also contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role.
The games that this tournament will involve:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Moto Roader (TG)
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge (SNES)
-Peace Keepers (SNES)
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Turbo Grafx games (in fact, if SNES netplay doesn't work for you, you will have a disadvantage)
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 100,000 Viz
2nd = 50,000 Viz
3rd = 25,000 Viz
(teams will share the prize)
Team Entry Fee: 10,000 Viz
(you can send me the Viz by going to my profile)
Rebate: 5,000 Viz
If you participate throughout the entire competition, you will get 5000 of that Viz refunded. If you drop out or fail to participate, you will not get your 5000 Viz back.
If you want to enter, send me the 10,000 Viz and reply to the below thread with your team name, who the leader of the team is and who is on your team
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60335
In this competition, you have to try and correctly name as many games as you can. Whoever names the most games correct once the competition ends, which will be June 24th 2013, will win US $100. If more than 1 user tie, the earnings will be split among those users (unless there happens to be tie between more than 10 users, than only the first 10 users will split the earnings). The $100 can be paid by paypal or I can buy something online for you such as Microsoft Points, Amazon Gift Card, etc.
Here's how to sign up to this competition so that you can be eligible for the prize:
-Subscribe to my Youtube Channel and than post a comment to the video (any comment is fine) and also like the video if you liked it
-Respond to this thread letting me know that you're entering this competition:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=59877
Once you've done the above, send me a Private Message with your answers (be sure to specify the game system for each game). If you ever update your answers in the future, feel free to send me another private message in the future with your updated answers (but I will only accept your most recent private message).
Tips:
-All of the games are playable in the Retro Game Room of Vizzed.com
-Most of the games were released in the USA but some were only released in Europe
-None of the games are arcade games
-None of the games are hacked or homebrew games
-A few of the games have more than 1 answer
-There's 50 games and each game is shown for about 9 seconds
-The games start out easy and progressively get harder

This is the very first "Official" vizzed tournament. I plan to hold 4 a year.
This competition will involve games of multiple genres.
Each user will play 8 games of "regular" season and the users with the best record will advance to a playoffs. Depending on how many people enter this tournament, the playoffs will be 3 or 4 games.
Each week you'll play against a user 3 times in 3 different games. You get a point for each win which contributes to your overall points. Users will be separated into divisions and whoever has the most points in their division will advance to the playoffs.
The games that this tournament will involve:
-Super Mario Kart (snes)
-Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers (snes)
-Donkey Kong (nes)
-Sonic 2 (gen)
-D-Pad Hero 2 (nes)
There will be a few other games as well but they will remain secret for now
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for NES, SNES, Genesis and Netplay games (since that's what we'll be using)
Prizes:
1st = 50,000 Viz
2nd = 10,000 Viz
3rd = 5,000 Viz
Entry Fee: 1,000 Viz
(you can send me the Viz by going to my profile)
The tournament will probably start next Wednesday, 4/3/2013. If you want to enter, send me the 1000 Viz and reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=56502

Contribution Point System
I've been working on this feature for 3 weeks now so I'm very excited to finally introduce you all to the Contribution Point System.
This new point system is a measure of how much you contribute to the site. Almost every action on the site now has CP and Viz attached to it. The higher your CP is, the more features that will be available to you and the more respected you'll be among the staff and the rest of the users. It will also increase your chances of becoming a staff member.
List of Contribution Point Actions and a list of points you've earned:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/contributionpoints.php
That page will show every single action, a descr
Moderators have the ability to track all Contribution Actions and they also have the ability to remove points that you earn from certain actions so if you're caught abusing the system in any way, you'll be stripped of your points and probably banned.
As time goes on, I'll add more actions to the list of actions that award you Viz and CP.
User Submitted Game Content
Users with a power level of "Normal" and above now have the ability to add content and change content on games.
Here's how it works: Each game page has a link that you can click that opens up a window with all kinds of data that you can change for a game. If a game is missing any information, you simply click to add it and a staff member will review your request. If your request is a good request, a staff member will accept your request and your content will be added to the game's page and you'll be granted CP and Viz.
If you submit bad content, you'll be at risk of being down rated by a staff member and users with less than 0 Trust Points can't submit content.
Users can also submit content to games in the Video Game Room.
In the future I'll make it so that you can add graphics to games and also add missing games.
Vizzed.com 10 Year Anniversary
Vizzed.com (not vizzed board) turned 10 years old earlier this month. More information here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=55723
Want to become a Site Staff member?
Anyone who can get 750+ points this month or next month will qualify for a staff position. If you get 750+ this month or next month, send me a Private Message letting me know and I'll look into the action log and if your earned your points legitimately, I'll give you a Site Staff position.
If you have any questions or feedback, please post it to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=55729
For the entire Month of March, there will be unlimited Netplay. This means that there wont be any Netplay restrictions. Usually you can only join sessions and need the special 'Netplay' item to create the sessions.
Hopefully this will encourage more netplay sessions to take place.
If you have any questions or feedback, post to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=55250
Some recently asked questions:
What is Netplay?
It allows you to play many of the games in the Retro Game Room online in multiplayer mode with 1 or more other users. Some of the systems include: Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, N64, Nintendo NES and more.
How do I create a session?
Go to a game that supports netplay. Scroll down to the netplay section and click the link to create a netplay session. Fill in the info and your game will become ready for other people to join.
How do I join a session?
Each game that supports netplay will show a list of active sessions. You can also go to the lobby page (link at top of the RGR) and that page will have a list of all active sessions for all games. That page also has a chat room where you can talk with users and ask which games they'd be willing to play with you.

I took down the Vizzed Youtube Video Uploader a few weeks ago but it's now back up.
What is the 'Vizzed Youtube Video Uploader'?
It allows you to upload videos to the Vizzed youtube account that you recorded with the Vizzed RGR Plugin. This is convenient for users who don't have a youtube account, don't want to clutter their own youtube account or simply want to help out vizzed.
Where do you find the 'Vizzed Youtube Video Uploader'?
In the video section of any game page, you'll see a link that says 'Click to Upload your Video to Vizzed Youtube', you click that.
How do you record videos using the Vizzed RGR Plugin?
Not all games support it but many games let you record a video of yourself playing the game by pressing either F8 or clicking the Record button which appears in the play window. By default, some games don't support video recording so sometimes you gotta click the 'Play game using Mednafen' link at the top left of the play window.
Here's how you can earn Viz by simply recording yourself playing games
This is probably the easiest way to earn lots of Viz; simply record videos of your gameplay and upload it to either your youtube account (be sure to link your video to the game's page) or by uploading it to the Vizzed youtube account. More information here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=49859
If you have any questions or feedback, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=54253
Over the past few months since my last batch of games added, I've added 242 more, I've also fixed a few that weren't working in the RGR that I'll list since you probably wouldn't know. An additional update is the inclusion of the Real Time Clock enabled for Pokemon hacks. Basically, some of them require that setting enabled in order for certain time-based events to occur which may have prevented progression in the game without it. Enjoy.

For the past few years, the forum has desperately been in need of a new Trust Point System, one that can't be as easily abused and one that the staff has more control over. I have finally recreated the Trust Point System from the ground up using ideas that I've come up with and that others have come up with over the past few years.
For those who don't know, the Trust Point system is a system that measures a user's loyalty to vizzed and their trustworthiness among the forum users. When a user gets enough Trust Points, they become a 'Trusted Member' which gives them a few extra privileges and sets them apart from everyone else.
Trust Points are meant to be earned by posting quality posts and by earning respect from fellow users and staff. Trust Points are NOT meant to be purchased or asked for and anyone asking for them is at risk of losing all their current points and possibly even banned.
For more information on how the new system works or if you have questions & feedback, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=53041
The RGR Plugin 2.0 is finally here and just in time for the 3 year anniversary of the RGR Plugin (not the anniversary of the Retro Game Room though, that's been around a lot longer). Since the RGR Plugin began development, over $10,000 has bee invested into it. Donations have covered a portion of the costs so I'd like to say thanks to all the users who have donated and supported the RGR Plugin's development. This will probably be the last plugin release for a very long time.

Enjoy
The NFL is in the playoffs and the Super Bowl will be soon so I figured this would be the perfect time to hold a Tecmo Super Bowl Netplay Tournament. We'll be playing the Tecmo Super Bowl 2013 (TecmoBowl.org hack) version of the game.
Each user will play 4 games of "regular" season and the teams with the best record will advance to a playoffs. Depending on how many people enter this tournament, the playoffs will be 3-5 games. When 2 users are paired up to play against each other, they have 2 days to play against each other.
If this tournament goes well, than I'll make it a habit of holding a netplay tournament every month and various games.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (there'd be too much lag with people in other countries)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for NES and Netplay games (since that's what we'll be using)
Prizes:
1st = 10,000 Viz
2nd = 2,500 Viz
3rd = 1,000 Viz
If you want to enter, simply respond to the below thread. The tournament will most likely begin next Monday.

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. A gift from me to everyone else, the Viz price of all games is 50% off! I know it's not Christmas quite yet but I figured I'd let everyone know of all these offers ahead of time so everyone knows about them before Christmas.
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'.
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
I put together a list of about 30 Christmas games that can be played in the RGR:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34124
Earn an easy 1000 Viz
I also put together a video highlighting 12 Christmas games (non hacked):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbh8UIMMj8
I'll give you 1000 Viz for liking and commenting on the above youtube video. Let me know in the below thread once you've done this.
Tell your friends about the site and earn lots of Viz
From now until the end of the year, if you refer 10 people to the site, I'll give you 20,000 Viz on top of the 5000+ Viz that you'll automatically get for referring them. In other words, you'll earn 25,000+ Viz for referring 10 of your friends to the site. There's a ton of kids on Christmas break, a lot of them may be looking for something to do, why not introduce them to Vizzed? Once you've referred the users (and they've registered), let me know in the below thread.
Any questions, comments or feedback? Or do you simply want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas? Do so in this thread:

As of Today, 12-06-12, Vizzed Board is 8 years old!
This year on vizzed we've seen some of the biggest RGR Plugin updates! Sega CD, Netplay, Video Recording, Arcade/MAME and many other new systems and features. In 2013, Vizzed will focus on expanding the site in other directions. There will be a few more RGR Plugin updates but there's been just way too much money invested into the Plugin over the past year, well over $5000 and nearly $10,000 since the RGR Plugin launched. Of course the Retro Game Room will still stay alive and continue to have new games, features and content added to it but non-RGR features that you can expect to see in 2013 includes a Battle Arena, new Item Shop, Avatar Creator, Video Game Music, Flash Game Room and much more!
You can find the awards and additional anniversary information here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=51039
MAME/Arcade Games
As promised, Arcade/MAME games are now available to everyone as of December 1st. Before they were only available to Beta testers (since they needed to be tested first) but now anyone can access them. Some games still need to be tested and renamed so keep that in mind in case you come across a game that doesn't work or if you can't find a specific game because it hasn't been named properly yet.
If you have any questions, comments or feedback regarding the MAME games, go here:

Getting low on Viz? Want some easy ways to earn it? Here's some offers going on now:
Doritos and Mountain Dew Double XP Codes = 1000+ Viz
Do you have some Halo 4 Double XP codes? You can get the codes off the outside of your Doritos bags, from you Mountain Dew Caps or from inside your Mountain Dew 12 packs. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=49783
Record Videos with RGR Plugin = Up to 50,000 Viz
Since the latest Plugin supports video recording, you can record your gameplay videos and earn Viz. How easy is that? Basically you're earning Viz by doing what you already do - Playing games in the Retro Game Room. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=49859
Rating & Subscribing to Vizzed = Up to 7,500 Viz
Subscribe to vizzed on facebook, youtube, etc. You can earn a ton of Viz by doing various offers that take hardly any time to do. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=31094
Recording Videos of Netplay Sessions = 5,000 - 25,000 Viz
This is a little different than the other Video Recording offer since this one can't be done with the RGR Plugin, this one requires you to use an external video recording software since you gotta capture the entire Play window of the Netplay session. Because of that, this one pays out more Viz. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=50192
Donating money to Vizzed = 10,000+ Viz
Helping out the site financially is one of the best ways to help out, especially with the financial struggles vizzed has been going through. You can earn 10,000 Viz for each US $10 you donate. More info here:

Netplay is available to everyone until January 1st. This means that for the time being, you don't need a Netplay item to create Netplay sessions and everyone has access to the Netplay chat room page.
I also have a new 'United States Limited' server which is a server dedicated to Netplay and should run better than the other 'United States' server. That server will only be available for about a month so take advantage.

This is an optional update, it is not required
RGR Plugin 1.951 is ready for download
Click Here to Download
(Click Here for a Mirror Download)
Fixes some IE game incompatibility
Netplay and various other systems didn't work in Internet Explorer for most people but they should now with this update. Those other systems include: TG, SGFX, SMS, GG, NGP, NGPC, WS, WSC, and AL. It also includes SNES, NES, FDS, GB, GBC, GEN and GBA when played in Mednafen.
Fixes mednafen Audio delay
This fixes the audio delay for Mednafen systems (and netplay), which includes: TG, SGFX, NGP, NGPC, AL, WS, WSC, SMS, GG, *SNES, *GBA, *NES, and *FDS.
* These systems don't play in Mednafen by default but can be played using Mednafen
If you have questions or feedback regarding this update, please post it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=50050
RGR Plugin 1.94 is ready for download
Click Here to Download
(Click Here for a Mirror Download)
NOTE: No save files will be lost in upgrading.
EDIT: I just updated the download links with 1.941 which fixes audio lag in Mednafen systems
Video Recording
This is the biggest feature in this plugin release and is a very commonly requested feature. You now have the ability to record gameplay videos using the RGR Plugin. The games record with little to no lag and the best thing is, it requires no video recording knowledge and no additional software.
Go ahead and start recording some videos and upload them to youtube, just be sure to place a link to the rgr game page and than add that video to the rgr game page (to help increase your videos views and likes AND to help out vizzed). If you want to earn Viz by recording videos, scroll further down this post.
The supported systems include: Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Famicom Disk System, Game Gear, Sega Master System, Turbo Grafx, Atari Lynx, Wonderswan, Wonderswan Color, SuperGrafx, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color and Super Nintendo (SNES requires that you play in Mednafen mode, link can be found at the top left of game window). Also note that Game Boy Advance games can now be played in Mednafen and the benefit of that is Mednafen has higher video recording capabilities (as far as emulation goes, the default VBA is usually best).
Sega CD Fully Supported
Even though Sega CD was added with the last plugin, it wasn't fully supported; this is why it was released in a beta state. Now it's all set and ready to be enjoyed.
Various Fixes
Various things have been fixed, one of them being the N64 Hi-Res Texture hack games.
Want to earn up to 50,000 Viz from recording videos?
Earn up to 1,000 Viz for every 10+ minute video you record. Go here for more information:

Your Donations Help
As some of you know, vizzed has been in a financial struggle ever since Google took down the ads on vizzed months ago. We've been trying out other ad networks but haven't had any luck. If you enjoyed this update and would like to financially support future updates, please take this time to donate. Also keep in mind that server fees still need to be paid monthly so if you want to help us out with the bill, contact me or simply donate.
If you have any questions, comments, feedback or compliments, please ask in this thread:

Normally you need to be either a powerlevel of at least 'Normal' user or have the Netplay/Laptop item in order to join netplay sessions and you need the Netplay/Laptop item in order to join sessions. I recently made it so that anyone can join and create Netplay sessions on the Game of Week and Game of Day games. Not all of the Game of Week/Day games will have multiplayer or support netplay but when they do, you might as well take advantage of it if you currently don't have access to netplay.

Want the Netplay, Beta Test Ticket or Laptop item? Here's a special offer which will offer you the quickest way to earn these items. This offer is open to everyone.
You can earn these items for taking screenshots and also assigning those screenshots to a category (and sub category when available). All previous screenshots you have taken count just as long as you assign them to a category.
Here's how many screenshots you have to take and assign to qualify for the following items:
100 = Beta Test Ticket (allows you to play games before they officially release)
250 = Netplay Item (allows you to create netplay sessions or join them if you're a newbie user)
500 = Laptop and Beta Test Ticket (laptop item allows you to play all games with no viz)
For more information on items and other item shop accessories, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
Bonus:
-If you assign a screenshot to a category or sub category on a game that hasn't had a screenshot submitted to that category or sub category, your submission counts as 1.5 screenshots (example: if a game has user submitted screenshots but no one has taken a screenshot of the title screen and you take one and assign it to the 'Introduction' category or if no one has submitted and assigned a screenshot to certain levels in a game)
-If you take screenshots of a game that has no user submitted screenshots, your submissions for that game count as 1.5 screenshots (in other words, it'd count as 2 screenshots since the above bonus would apply as well)
Rules:
-You must assign all of your screenshots to its proper category
-If your screenshot fits into a sub category, you must also assign it to a sub category
-Your screenshots must be unique; in other words, they can't be too similar to another one of your submissions
-Offer ends November 1st
Tips:
-Find a game with a lot of levels/locations and take a screenshot of each level/location
-Find games that have few or no screenshots and submit screenshots to those (you can usually find those games on the back pages)
When you've qualified for one of the items, let me know in the below thread which item you want and tell me how many screenshots you took that qualify you for that item and I'll look into it and if I'm satisfied, you'll be granted the item that you're asking for
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=47557
We're looking to hire a few local moderators to help out with the site. If you're interested, you can apply here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=47293
Be sure to read the rules and only apply if you qualify.
The next Tour de Vizzed starts next month and we're introducing a new concept, Teams!
This is your chance to join or create a team. You have until the month ends to do so. There's 3 prizes which get awarded to every member of the winning teams and the top prize is 5000 Viz. If the team competition is a success, we'll continue doing it and introduce new features to it in the future.
Anyone can join or create a team but a team needs to consist of 4 users to be considered a team.
For more information and to sign up, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=47196
Anyone who is wondering what the Tour de Vizzed is, you can find more info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/controlpanel.php?category=help&help=terminology&name=Tour%20de%20Vizzed#Tour%20de%20Vizzed
Sega CD games have been added to the site, but they're currently in a beta state and can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=scd
Currently only staff and beta testers can play the games. To become a beta tester, you'll need to buy the 'Beta Test Ticket' for 10,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
The Sega CD games will be available to everyone at the end of the month but if you're not a beta tester or a staff member but want to try it out, we currently have 1 Sega CD game available to everyone; Sonic CD:
https://www.vizzed.com/play/sonic-cd-scd-online-sega-cd-63680-game
There were 220 games released for the Sega CD, Vizzed has almost all of them, however, some of the games that vizzed has may not work or may need fixing, that's why they're in beta.
While the games are in beta, you can play them for free if you own the Laptop item or the V-Machine item but once they're no longer in beta, you wont be able to play the games for free, you'll have to pay for each individual game.
Since the Sega CD games are so large in file size, they're going to cost a lot of Viz to help cut down server fees. The average Sega CD game is going to cost anywhere between 100 - 1500 Viz. If I didn't do that, there's a good chance that so much bandwidth would be sucked up that vizzed would lose money and could potentially close down, so the high Viz prices on the Sega CD games are meant to prevent that from happening (the games are anywhere between 50 - 500 MB each).

The RGR Plugin 1.91 has been in development for almost 3 months but after 100s of hours and $1000 of investments, it is now ready for download:
http://www.vizzed.co/VizzedRgrPlugin-v1.91.msi
And here's a mirror link in case the above link doesn't fully download:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/VizzedRGRPlugin/Installer/VizzedRgrPlugin-v1.91.msi
Netplay
This is the most anticipated feature ever! You can now play various games with others online. You can view all sessions on this page:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/netplaysessions.php
You must have a powerlevel of Normal User and up to join sessions, or you must buy the 'Netplay' item from the itemshop using Viz. For more information on powerlevels, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/controlpanel.php?category=help&help=usernamesandpowerlevels
In order to create netplay sessions, you need to own the 'Netplay' item for 25,000 Viz which you can get here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
Supported Systems: Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo, Turbo Grafx and a few others.
MAME/Arcade Games
Arcade games have been among the most requested games and we're currently in the process of making them available. Since they're in the process of being worked on, they'll only be available to staff members and beta testers. However, if you want to become a beta tester so that you can get early access to the Arcade games, you can buy the 'Beta Test Ticket' from the item shop for 10,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
Once you have that, you can test out the Arcade games. Probably around 30% of the Arcade games currently don't work but they're all free of Viz during the testing phase. Also, all of the Arcade games still need to be renamed. You can find the Arcade games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=mame
Since most of you are now feeling pretty disappointed that you have to either save up Viz or wait a few months to get access to the Arcade games, I've decided to make 8 games available right away:
Small games: Donkey Kong, Marble Madness, Frogger, Flicky
Big games: Metal Slug 5, King of Fighters 2000, Cruisn USA, G.I.Joe
New Systems
Atari 5200 has been added to the Retro Game Room. Apple II and Commodore 64 games are now compatible with the RGR Plugin, they were already available using Java emulators but now they can be played using the RGR Plugin which means better playability, better compatibility and more features. You can find Atari 5200 games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=a5200
If you have any questions, feedback or problems with the new plugin, please reply to this thread:

Whether you found out from word of mouth, the recent newsletter or because you already have access, a lot of you probably know that Netplay is in development and is ready for people to test it out.
If you're interested in testing out the netplay, go to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=44366
Note that only Trusted Members and higher can create netplay sessions, so those who apply to be a netplay tester will only be able to join sessions already created.
Trusted Members: You guys can already access the netplay page; more info here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=44117
Once you've tested out the plugin thoroughly, please leave as much feedback as possible to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=44366
The point of this is to get as much info as possible so that we can get the netplay working as good as possible and released as soon as possible.
As some of you know, I've been working on getting legal backup copies of the games in the RGR. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include SNES, NES, GBA/GB/GBC, N64, Genesis, TG, etc (basically anything, even modern, but preferably retro).
Here's what I'll give you based on how many games you donate:
Donate 2-5 games:
-25,000 Viz
or
-Trusted Member Position
or
-Gold Membership on Get-Your-Rom.com ($25 value)
Donate 6-10 games:
-50,000 Viz
or
-Elite Member Position
or
-Platinum Membership on Get-Your-Rom.com ($50 value)
Each item from above is limited. The amount of games required to donate greatly depends on the games you plan to donate. Simply respond to the thread below (or send a pm) of the games that you're willing to donate and I'll tell you whether I approve of them or not. Once approved, I'll give you my address for you to send the games to and the item that you want will be given to you once I receive the games.
You can donate either retro games or modern games. Any modern game you donate or retro games that I already have that you donate, I'll probably sell them and use the profit to invest into the RGR Plugin for more systems or features.

The new RGR Plugin 1.7 is available now, download it here:
http://www.vizzed.co/VizzedRgrPlugin-v1_7.msi
This plugin should automatically uninstall the previous when you go to install it.
(click here for a mirror download link if the above isn't working or is too slow)
This new plugin is about 3 times larger than the previous plugin (at around 45 MB), however, it may be the last plugin for a very long time because this new plugin gives me the ability to add new systems to the plugin/rgr without having to release a new plugin. So future systems will be added to the site and made playable without the need for getting another plugin. So this may be the last plugin you'll ever have to install. You wont lose any save files from upgrading.
New Systems
The following are new systems which have been added to the Retro Game Room
-MSX 2
-ColecoVision (supports screenshots and saving)
Newly Supported Systems
The following systems were already playable on the site but now they're playable with the plugin which means they now have better compatibility, playability and features
-Atari 2600 (supports screenshots and saving)
-MSX
Hi-Res N64 Texture Hacks
This new plugin now supports High Resolution texture pack hacks for N64 games. These are basically enhancements to N64 games which either give them waaay better graphics or new graphics. We currently have 10+ games to choose from: https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?hackType=Texture%20Pack
AL, TG, SGFX, NGP, NGPC, SMS, SGG, WS and WSS now support high scores again
The last plugin had problems with high score submissions for Atari Lynx, Turbo Grafx, SuperGrafx, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, WonderSwan and WonderSwan color, so the ability to do high scores was taken down last month. As of this plugin, the feature is back!
Thanks to tom760 for helping make this update possible. To thank him, please donate to his paypal address here: tomwg123@gmail.com If you'd like to see more systems added, please donate to the site to help us speed of the process of getting more games and systems added.

The new 'Video Game Room' has launched, which is eventually going to have pages for every video game and all the information and graphics you'll ever need for any game (currently it only has Dreamcast, Playstation, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii). Keep in mind that these games are not playable, this new section of the site will be similar to ign, gamefaqs, or mobygames. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=39056
The Video Game Room is far from finished and we need a ton of helpers to help us add content and graphics to the game pages. If you're interested in joining the vizzed staff, you can apply here:

The server transfer is completely finished. Save files, screenshots, graphics, site files, etc... everything has been transferred to the new server. The site should also be faster than it was before.
If you have any questions or comments, please post them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37452
The transfer isn't quite complete, some screenshots still need to be transferred. The old backed up RGR Plugin save files also still need to be transferred. Everything else is transferred though, the games should all work and the RGR Plugin games should work now. File uploading should work now as well and screenshot submissions and highscore submissions should also work.
If there's something that isn't working since we transferred over to hostgator, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37344
The server transfer is very close to completion, just a few things left to transfer and a few things left to update on the new server. Posting works again. File uploading is still down but it should be back up soon. Maintenance will be completely finished within 12 hours.
The server transfer is going along great so far. The database will be migrated soon so any content submitted to the site during this time will be lost. Because of this, New Posts and New Threads will be down during this time. The Games will continue to work.
The server transfer from Godaddy to Hostgator is in progress and will probably last up to 24-48 hours. File uploading and screenshot taking will be down during this entire time. In less than 12 hours posting will also be down. The RGR games will most likely be up during the entire time since the RGR plugin save files are stored on your local machine and the java game save files are stored on a different server. The site might be extra slow during this time as well.
I'll make a separate announcement within 12 hours with a progress update.
Thanks.
Save File Recovery
After the recent RGR Plugin update, we made it so save files are stored on your computer rather than on the server (to reduce server strain, disk space and bandwidth). For those who may have lost a save file recently because of that or for another reason, you can still recover your old save files. Here's how:
1. Go to the save file manager page:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/savefiles.php
2. Find the save files you want to recover and right click the link to download it.
3. On your computer, go to Start Menu > All Programs > Vizzed Retro Game Room > Open Plugin Data Folder.
4. You'll want to place your downloaded save file into the folder that the RGR Plugin loads the save files from; here's where to place them for each system:
N64 using 1964: 1964 > Save
NES & FDS: FCEUX > sav
GBA & GBC & GB: VBA > Saves
Genesis & 32X: Gens > Saves
SNES: ZSNES > Saves
TG & AL & NGP & NGPC & WS & WSC & SGFX: Mednafen > sav
5. Make sure to keep the original save file name, don't rename it. If there's a save file already in there with the same name, you'll have to replace but make sure that the save file you're replacing it with is your most recent save file.
Additional N64 Plugins
You can now choose which video plugin to play your N64 games with. Some games play better depending on which N64 emulator it's being played in (1964 or Mupen64Plus) or depending on which video plugin you play it with. Different computers and video cards also makes a difference so in some cases, you'll want to play around with it.
To play a certain game with a different video plugin, go to play an N64 game using one of the N64 emulators. On the play window, at the very top right you'll see links, clicking them will reload the game using the selected video plugin. Eventually I'll have the RGR staff go through and figure out which game plays best with which n64 emulator and video plugin.
If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37198
What graphics were lost?
Every single file that was uploaded to the server between 03-03-12 01:41 PM and 03-14-12 05:23 PM (central time) have been deleted, I'm very sorry. So any screenshot taken or highscore taken within this time no longer exists on the server.
Is it possible to recover them?
Sorta. The computer you used to take these screenshots would have them stored on your computer and you could send them to us and we can work on adding them back so here's how you'd go about this:
1. Go to Start Menu > All Programs > Vizzed Retro Game Room > Open Plugin Data Folder
2. Go to the folder with your user id in it; so if your user id was 1, you'd click the 'User-1' folder
3. From here, you can find the screenshots in these directories:
N64 with 1964: 1964 > Screens
NES & FDS: FCEUX > snaps
GBA & GB & GBC: VBA > Screenshots
32X & Genesis: Gens > Screenshots
SNES: ZSNES > Screenshots
TG & NGP & NGPC & WS & WSC & SGFX: Mednafen > snaps
4. Take all of the screenshots that you took between the date I specified above and place it into a folder, if you're giving me both regular screenshots and highscore screenshots, be sure to organize it so that your regular screenshots are in 1 folder and your highscore screenshots are in another
5. You'll want to rename all your screenshots to match the exact name of the game in the within the retro game room followed by an underscore and an incremented number. So for example, if you have 3 screenshots of Super Mario World, your 3 screenshots would be: 'Super Mario World_1', 'Super Mario World_2', 'Super Mario World_3'. Also, in the screenshot names, you'll want to remove all special characters; example: a screenshot of "Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask" would be: "Legend of Zelda The Majoras Mask_1".
6. Zip up that folder and send it to me at davideo7@hotmail.com or you can upload it somewhere and than PM me a link to it or you can reply to this thread with a link to the zipped up screenshots
7. Once I receive your screenshots, I'll try to get them added within 24 hours. Once I do, I'll let you know and you'll re-add them to the page using the screenshot submission page just like you normally would with screenshots you just took with the RGR Plugin.
Why did this happen?
Well I contacted
To make things worst, I have their managed backup plan which means they're suppose to do backups of my server every single day but turns out they hadn't done a backup in about 10 days! So basically I'm paying for an extra service that they're not even doing and they didn't even bother telling me that they weren't making any backups so I put all my trust in them and they fail me big time.
What does this mean for vizzed?
Well, I'm leaving Godaddy once and for all. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them for the past few years that I've used them (ok maybe I've had 2 good experiences but probably 100+ bad ones). I'm working on purchasing some dedicated servers with hostgator, unfortunately it's going to cost twice as much as godaddy which means I'll be paying nearly $2000 a month on server fees compared to the $1000 I'm paying right now (that was one of the reasons I stayed with godaddy, they're by far the cheapest on the internet and I couldn't afford anyone else).
This means there will be downtime probably on Monday and/or Tuesday, that's probably when I'll do the server migration to hostgator. It's possible it might happen sooner but I'd hate to do a transfer during the weekend when the site gets the most traffic.
Stay far away from Godaddy, their tech support is just lazy and don't care and cast all the blame on you to cover up their laziness and lack of knowledge.

Vizzed RGR Plugin version 1.63 is available!
Download RGR Plugin v1.63 Now
Instructions
-You should uninstall the previous plugin before installing this one, to do so, go to the Start Menu, All Programs, Vizzed Retro Game Room, and Uninstall.
-Be sure to close your internet browser before installing this new Plugin.
-If the plugin tells you you're missing VC++ Runtime, you'll need to install that first. You can download it here:
http://www.vizzed.co/vcredist_x86/vcredist_x86.exe
If you have any problems with the new plugins, please report it in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37053
We'll try to help you fix as many problems as we can, if there are a lot of problems we can't walk you through, we'll work on getting another plugin release soon which would fix those problems.
In a few days, I'll create a page where you can download your save files from the server and save them to your computer where your local save files are located. This will solve the problem that some might have of losing their save files.
Notes
Your save files no longer store on the server, when you go to save and load a game, it happens on your computer, all saving is local. This was done for security reasons and also because the saving uploading and download was putting too much strain on the server (notice the site is a lot faster now?). The bad thing is, if you switch computers, you wont be able to load your save files from computer to computer unless you manually transfer your save files. The good thing is, besides the security and site improvement, your save files are less likely to get corrupted or lost.
The location of your save files and cached files on your machine are in a new location, you can find those here:
Start Menu > All Programs > Vizzed Retro Game Room > Open Data Plugin Folder
New game Systems
Atari Lynx
Neo Geo Pocket
Neo Geo Pocket Color
Wonderswan
Wonderswan Color
SuperGrafx
Newly supported Systems
These game systems were already playable on the site using Java emulators, they're not also playable with the plugin:
Sega Game Gear
Sega Master System
Turbo Grafx
N64 has a 2nd emulator
Nintendo 64 now can be played in 2 different emulators from within the plugin. The emulator that they were played in before was 1964 but now they can be played in 1964 and Mupen64Plus. Some N64 games that didn't work or didn't play good in the RGR Plugin before may work better in the Mupen64Plus emulator, in fact most games probably play better in that emulator compared to the 1964 emulator.
Any save files you created in the N64 games before this plugin update only load in the 1964 emulator. Also, Mupen64Plus supports save states and for some people, 1964 support save states as well now. Sometime within the next few weeks, we plan to increase the compatibility with the games that load into Mupen64Plus even better which means after we do that, 99% of the N64 games will work and most of them perfectly (the best part is, this update in a few weeks wont require another plugin update).
A note regarding Mupen64Plus, it doesn't let you adjust your keyboard or controller controls, you have to use the default. The default keyboard controls are currently unknown so you'll have to play around until we make an update for that (which should take place in a few days).
What else is new?
A lot of the problems that existed in the previous plugins should no longer exist. This new plugin should have a lot less problems and run better. Also since your save files are now based on your user id, someone else can use their user account on the same machine as you and their save files wont overwrite yours (that was a problem in the previous plugins). This means that the risk of losing your save files decreases.
A few updates to the Retro Game Room
I also did a few updates to the Retro Game Room itself. The header area with the systems has been redesigned to fit in the new systems (and famicom disks system has also been added, that was never in the header even though it was an available system in the last plugin). The Retro Game Room also has a 'new' icon next to games and systems that have been added in the past 30 days. There were other various updates to the RGR and plenty more to come in the upcoming weeks.
Want to become an RGR Staff member?
Go through and take screenshots of as many of the new games as you can, if you take enough good ones, we'll hire you to the staff within a day. Our goal is to get screenshots of every game of the newly added systems.
Have any questions or feedback?
Please post them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37053
Vizzed was down because the OS on the server somehow got corrupt. Here's what Godaddy told me:
"It appears the OS has become corrupt on the server and we were unable to repair it with a File System Check. The old drives are being pulled so we can reprovision the server and restore your content.
The issue is being handled with the highest priority. However, depending on the amount of content that needs to be restored, it may be 24 hours before all sites will be back up and functional"
Anyways, the site is up now and should be running fine. As far as I know, no files were lost.

Thanks to tRIUNE for gathering all of these for me and helping me add them. If there are any games that the RGR is missing for any of its systems that you'd like to see added, send him a PM and he'll work on getting it added.
Also, if you're interested in becoming a staff member, help us take screenshots of these games. None of these games have screenshots so anyone who takes enough useful screenshots will become an RGR Staff member and their screenshots will become the primary screenshots for the game they take screenshots of.
If you have any questions about this update, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=36557
The chat room has been down for a few days since I migrated it to a new server, it's back up now.
You guys can now load and save your progress in the java emulators again. Sorry for the delay.
Saving in the Java emulated games currently doesn't work. It should be fixed within 1 or 2 days. To make up for it, all Java emulated games currently cost no Viz to play. So go ahead and take advantage of this opportunity and play as many games as you want using the Java emulators.
RGR plugin game saving does still work and is not affected at all by this.
Saving in the java emulated games will be down for about 12 hours. This means that if you start playing your game now and save, when you go to play the game again in 12 hours, the save file will revert back to how it was at the time of this announcement.
RGR plugin games will not be affected by this, you will be able to save with no problem with RGR plugin games during this time.
Vizzed RGR Plugin v1.5 is available!
Download it Now!
NOTE: Be sure to close your internet browser before installing the plugin!
Once downloaded, all you have to do is install it, it'll automatically uninstall the previous version. If the plugin has problems, uninstall it and reinstall it.
This is the most important RGR Plugin update so far. It's got so many more features, tons of bug fixes, far more stable, and so much more.
New Features and bug fixes:
-Famicom Disk System added (games can be found here)
-No more 1MB Circuit Board Error
-Many previous GBA games that didn't work before now work (including the DBZ games)
-Mouse input works in SNES
-Less issues with keyboard input not working
-Less problems with losing save files
-Overall runs smoother with less crashing
And so much more! (over 100 hours have gone into this update)
Thanks to tom760 for making this all possible.
Getting updates for the Plugin costs money and takes many man hours. If you'd like to help us get more updates, refer to this thread: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=35827 - we're currently at a little over $200 worth of donations which will go toward any of the features in that thread.
Maintenance Complete
The server transfer is also complete. All of the files have finished transferring from the old server. You should now be able to save/load your game progress, take screenshots, compete for highscores, etc.
Want to become an RGR Staff member?
Go through and take screenshots of as many Famicom Disk System games as you can, if you take enough, we'll hire you to the staff within a day. Our goal is to get screenshots of every FDS game.
Famicom Disk System games can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=fds
Their link was removed from the menu for the time being due to it causing problems, it'll be added back later but for now you can find the games at that url.

There's been a delay in the server transfer, it's taking longer than expected. Should be done sometime Friday night (central time). There's literally over 2 million files to transfer and Godaddy would've charged $500 to do it for me and although it would've been quicker for them to do it, I'm doing it myself since I don't have that kind of money.
Here are the things that wont be finished transferring until Friday:
-Game Saving/Loading (on the server, you might still be able to play using your local save files)
-User screenshot submissions
-User highscore submissions
-Various old files and graphics
The server transfer is still not finished, it should be finished by 3 AM Central Time (2/9/2012).
As stated in the previous announcement, the following things will be down until the transfer is fully finished:
-Game Saving/Loading
-User screenshot submissions
-User highscore submissions
-Various old files and graphics
I'll let everyone know when everything is finished. Also, the new RGR Plugin has been delayed as well but should be ready by Friday.
The server migration was pretty smooth, the site is quite a bit faster but we'll have to see how it holds up when the site's traffic peaks at 900 people.
Game saving is currently down since the save files are still transferring. The ability to take screenshots and high score submissions are also down. These things should be back up in around 14 hours (or around 1 AM 2/8/2012 central time).
The RGR Plugin update I promised will be released soon, probably in 24 hours or so.
The rest of the site should work fine but if you're having problems with anything, please let me know here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=36164
The site will be undergoing maintenance starting at 1 AM Central Time on February 7th (about 16 hours from this announcement). The maintenance may last between 12 and 24 hours.
The site will probably be down for most of this time and you'll most likely be redirected to our facebook app where you'll be able to continue playing the java based RGR games (however, saving will be disabled). The facebook app can be found here:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Retro-Games-Online/323660884325311
After all of the maintenance is finished, we will be launching a HUGE RGR Plugin update which will have a ton of features, ton of bug fixes, better game compatibility and a new game system. Trust me, the down time will be worth the wait
If you have any questions, please ask here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=36134
tom760 is back at work with doing updates to the RGR Plugin. We're expecting an RGR Plugin update very soon with a few nice features, tons of bug fixes, better game compatibility (especially gba rpgs) and more. But we're hoping to get some money to do even more updates, donating to the site will make these updates possible and quicker to have made. It takes a lot of time and money to get updates added to the RGR Plugin so please read the following features and consider helping make these dreams a reality.
We need donations for any of the following features to be possible, if we don't get donations, than none of this will happen. I can only afford to pay so much of it on my own.
Netplay
Imagine being able to play against someone in Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, Tecmo Super Bowl or Goldeneye or with someone in Contra, Mystical Ninja, Perfect Dark or Donkey Kong Country. Imagine being able to actually battle others in the Pokemon games or to trade Pokemon with anyone on the site. The possibilities are endless with 1000s of games in the RGR having multiplayer, with this update, every single one of them could be played with someone on the site over the internet.
How many opportunities do you get to play a retro game with someone else? How many opportunities do you get to participate in a retro gaming tournament (that's right, we'd have weekly and monthly tournaments)? Help us make everyone's dream come true and donate to this great cause.
Projected Cost: US $1000
Disc Based Game Systems
Currently we're limited to cartridge based game systems, a whole new world would open up with the ability to play disc based games which could include:
-Sega Saturn
-Playstation
-Dreamcast
-Sega CD
-and more
Projected Cost: US $250 per a system
More Game Systems
Want to have access to an even greater library of Retro Games? This update would add the following systems to the RGR Plugin:
-MS DOS
-MAME / Arcade
-Atari Lynx
-Turbo Grafx
-Neo Geo Pocket
-Neo Geo Pocket Color
-Wonderswan
-Wondersawn Color
-and more
Projected Cost: US $250
More Features
We've got just tons of ideas for new features including:
-Video Recording (record your gameplay and have the video exported so you can upload it to sites like youtube)
-Full Screen mode
-Many others
Projected Cost: US $250+
How do you donate?
You can donate using Paypal from this page:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php
Or you can send me cash or a check by mail (PM me for my address). And as always, you get rewarded Viz for donating, 10,000 Viz for each US $10 you donate to be exact.

The site will be undergoing some maintenance for about an hour. The site will be up and down during this time and you may see strange errors.
The forum maintenance which involved moving the DB to a new server was unsuccessful. I will try again sometime within the next 24 hours and will let everyone know before I try it again.
The forum maintenance is taking slightly longer than expected but the forum should be back up in around an hour. For those wondering, I got a new server for the database, one that is 2-3 times more powerful. The site should be faster once the maintenance is finished. Thanks for your patience.
The forum will be down from 11:15 pm - 12:15 am central time. The Tour de Vizzed for today will still count so you all have 20 minutes to get your final posts in for the day.
If SOPA gets passed, it will shut down Vizzed.com so help us keep the site up by helping us fight against the Bill. The Senate will begin voting on January 24th, that's only 1 week away!
Things you can do: Contact your state congressmen, search google for more info, go to sopa for dummies for more info, go to sopastrike.com to strike against it, or go to blackoutsopa.org to spread awareness.

The Server Transfer involving the RGR Plugin games is complete which means they should work again.
The RGR Plugin games will be down for a few hours. You can still continue to play RGR Plugin games that you've already played but new games will be down for a few hours. They shouldn't be down for more than 4 hours but if they are, I'll make another announcement letting everyone know. All the Java games are not affected which means they will work during this time.
If you have any questions, please let me know in this thread:

Tour de Vizzed is a NEW posting competition (similar to the VCS) exclusive to vizzed which is held once every 3 months. The winner of each Jersey each day gets to wear that Jersey the following day. The overall winner of each Jersey at the end of the month gets to wear that Jersey the entire following month.
Each day there will be 4 Jerseys you can compete for:
Yellow Jersey: Most words in a day
Blue Jersey: Most posts in a day
Red Jersey: Biggest post in a day
Green Jersey: Most posts in an hour
You can find the Tour de Vizzed results page here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/tourdevizzed.php
If you get 1st place in a Jersey for a day, you get to "wear" that Jersey the following day. To "wear" it means that the background of your username will have a unique background graphic. Only the top 5 places of each Jersey gets points, 1st gets 5 and 5th gets 1. Whoever has the most points for any Jersey at the end of the competition gets to wear that Jersey for the entire next month. If you have more than 1 jersey, your jersey receives stripes for each jersey color you own.
Along with Jerseys are Badges that change your username color. They basically represent who has the most points total:
Rainbow Badge: Whoever has the most points so far in the competition
White Badge: New member who has the most points so far in the competition (anyone who has signed up in the past 3 months).

The Staff and I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas (and Happy Holidays) - each of their messages can be seen below. But I just wanted to go over a few quick things.
Davideo7's Thank You
I'd like to give thanks to all the users who have been loyal to vizzed and have helped out in many ways. Ultimately though, I'd like to give a huge thanks to the staff, they don't get enough recognition for what they do, this site wouldn't be anything without them. This is a massive site with 30,000+ people a day and it takes a lot of man (and woman) hours to keep this place organized and in control, it gets overwhelming but I couldn't ask for a better staff, especially for putting up with what they put up with every day. The staff do what they do for free, they all come together and donate their time to help me make this place the best gaming site/community on the internet and every day we're getting closer to that ultimate goal (and maybe we're already there).
RGR Christmas Competition
There's 2 Christmas RGR competitions going on right now that end at the end of the month so be sure to participate before the month ends. Here they are:
Screenshot Competition: ACME Animation Factory Christmas
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34163
High Score Competition: Daze Before Christmas
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34162
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'.
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
I put together a list of about 20 Christmas games that can be played in the RGR:

As we finish yet another year, I have come to realize how amazing this past one has been for me personally. It's been a long year... and I've had my shares of ups and downs, but I'm still here, and so are you. Instead of focusing on the bad things, I want to focus on the good. We've attained many milestones, made many memories, and have endured an interesting year to say the least.
This site is not nearly as amazing though without it's loyal userbase. It's you guys that make coming here fun. It's you guys that make my job fun, and not just a chore. So with that, I want to say "Cheers" to you, Vizzians. You made this year great, and I know you will make the next one even better.
Like my good friend, and fellow moderator, the_casualty, I too have made a New Year's Resolution. My resolution is to work even harder to make this site better. Whether it's by simply saying hi to more newbies, or by suggesting ideas to make the site cleaner, smoother, and more fun. I also want to do a better job listening to all user complaints, as I've shyed away from my roots, the very ones that got me interested in becoming a staff member. I look forward to accomplishing this along side you, the userbase.
Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, and a happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! May this Christmas to be full of love, peace and joyous moments. Every year this is the day, when we feel more thankful for all the beautiful things around us, and we, the vizzed board staff members, feel thankful to all of our members for supporting vizzed both through good and bad times. Thank you, all of you guys and girls, without you, vizzed wouldn't be the same! Wholeheartedly, I wish you Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
BNuge
Happy Holidays to everyone. I just want to thank every member of Vizzed for their support. This year has been amazing for Vizzed and I'm glad to be a part of it. I hope everyone enjoys whatever holidays they celebrate and have a Happy New Year

Season Greetings and Happy Holidays to all members of Vizzed! Thanks for everything you've done to make this place as appreciative as it is. It's now my second special Christmas spent with you all. I wish you a blessed and safe holiday!
alexanyways
Merry Christmas to everybody on Vizzed. You guys are a huge part of my family, and the family seems to get bigger by the minute.
This site has quite literally quadroupled since I got here. I want to thank you all for being here, it really does make things alive.
The ones of you that I know are the most friendly people I know. (Coming from a Canadian, that's huge)
May your holidays be filled with joy, and may the force be with you.
Peace out.
Someone70
Ah, it's that time of year again. The time we give thanks, exchange gifts, and appreciate the family that we have around us. That said, I would like to especially thank my family here on Vizzed.
While I haven't been around as long as most others, I feel like the site has impacted me nevertheless. In the short 6 1/2 months that I've been on Vizzed, I've made friends, had disputes, and worked faithfully on making this place better for everyone. And through all of the experiences, I've had the greatest time ever.
The success of this site would not be possible without every single user here, from David the owner to the least posting members. Merry Christmas to everyone, and a wonderful new year!
UserMike
As the Holiday Season is upon us, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and on those who have helped to make Vizzed Board what is today. A special thank you to our wonderful site owner and Administrator : Davideo7, who continuously keeps this wonderful site running and available for all of us to enjoy.
As staff we value Vizzed's members and look forward to seeing you all in the year to come. Wishing you a very happy Holiday Season and a New Year filled with peace and prosperity. Enjoy the time spent with friends and family, show those you care about your appreciation
tj4bigred
Thanks for another great year Vizzed! We saw a lot of change this year, and the site just keeps getting better and better. Happy holidays!
tRIUNE
Here’s wishing you and your family and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May all your holidays be happy and may you have a year blessed with joy, love, and abundance.

Wishing each and every one of you a happy holiday season filled with family and friends as well as a most prosperous new year!
Cyro Xero
Not sure who will see this in the sea of staff messages, but I'd like to wish everyone a happy holidays, whatever it may be you celebrate. And whatever it is, celebrate it for it's true meaning. I'll also thank those of you who give best wishes to troops like me and those who are overseas in the desert that can't spend time with their family for Christmas or other holidays. Know that we're over there to ensure the rest of you safely can be with your family here in the U.S. You can help us out by making sure you're enjoying yourselves so our efforts don't go to waste. Also, it never hurts to send a letter or a random care package to a soldier as a present. We always like those. Keep up the activity on Vizzed. The more people like you show up the better this place gets. Keep participating in games and contests. And bring some holiday spirit to Vizzed this month. Thanks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
pi0x
Merry Christmas to Vizzed, all 154,395 of you! May your life be filled with joy in this most joyful time! It's so great to see all the people buzzing around this site during Christmas time, generally being happy, and playing all their favorite games.
Happy Holidays!
rcarter2
First, I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays. I hope everyone has a great time. As for Vizzed, it is almost the end to an interesting year. This is my first year being a member on Vizzed, and you all have made it so fun for me. I came here for the games, but the community has drawn me in. In my first year, a lot has happened here. I joined right before the major attacks here, and thought the site would be gone before I could become a part of it. I would like to thank everyone who stuck around. You guys rock. I also want to thank David for giving me a position as a reviewer, and the Globals for asking me to be a Local. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I find myself coming here the first chance I get everyday just to talk to everyone here. This is the best online community I have ever seen, and the only one I have bothered to be a part of. I wish for another prosperous and active year for Vizzed. For everyone here, continue to have fun!

Thank you for everything Vizzed. I am happy to be on this site to play games and post information to people. This has made a big change and it has gotten better. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

So it would seem we are back at this time of year again, with the Holiday season upon us. For many people this is a fantastic time of year, and I also see it as a vague form of reflection seeing that it is near the end of the year for many people. My reflections...includes that I love the community here. About half a year ago or more, I was looking for a forum community that was friendly, and its size active but not too large for it's own good. A community where everyone can get to know each other much like a small town...and I've seen it here. This is by far one of the best forum communities I seen in a long time, if not the best period. I have to thank every single user for making that ideology a reality, and I have to say this would not have been possible without our Administrator(s) like Davideo7 and our moderators like Legacyme3 as well as every single person in this community.
In short, I feel honored to have been a small part of it, and I thank you all. I wish everyone here a Merry Christmas, or a Happy Holidays in general.

Merry Christmas everyone! Vizzed could not have done so well without you, the members of this site. I can just tell that it's going to be a great Christmas here! I must thank all those who wrote comments on my reviews and those who rated them (you guys are awesome!). I have only been here for about four months, but I have made many friends, all kind and helpful when I started. I also enjoyed trying to beat others scores on certain games. You guys really do put up a fight.
I enjoyed some of your threads that you have made, and I'll try and make an effort to post more in them. It's the least I could do. So with that, once again Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to everyone! Also, for those who clebrate it, have a nice Hanukkah. I don't think anyone reading this celebrates Kwanzaa.. never mind. In the past year, I really went from being one of those people who spent all day in the RGR to being one of those people that really gets into the Vizzed community. I hope you have a nice holiday season, and continue to come back to Vizzed! =)

The chat room and all the java emulator games are back up (actually they were back up yesterday).
So what update took place?
Well you can now use the vizzed facebook app on https (many reported that they couldn't use the app). You can find the app here:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=166142096817795&sk=wall
I'm doing some late night (early morning) updates which means the Chat Room and any Java Emulator Game is currently down (RGR Plugin games still work). These should be back up and working within 12-24 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions, please ask here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34618
The Chat Room has received some updates and is now hosted by vizzed. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34475
Want More Chat Room Addons?
If you donate, you can pick which addon you'd like me to buy and add, each addon is $50. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34509
After spending $500 on a full chat room license, I don't have any money for any addons so the only way we can get any addons is if we get some donations.
Vizzed is undergoing maintenance today and may go down once in a while and may be completely unavailable for some people all day.
For those who see this announcement, remember that you can continue playing RGR games with our facebook app here:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=166142096817795&sk=wall
And you can get updates on the site on our facebook page here:

As of Today, 12-06-11, Vizzed Board is 7 years old!
This has been both the worst year and best year of vizzed. Vizzed survived some serious DDoS attacks, had some hackers trying to inject viruses into the site, had some serious server issues multiple times, but in the end, Vizzed is more active than it has ever been so the goods outweigh the bads. Vizzed hit some huge milestones such as 250 million views, 500,000 posts, most posts within a single day (2351), most posts within a single hour (268), and many more. For all the members who stayed loyal to vizzed throughout this entire year, I thank you, I couldn't have a greater community to be in charge of.
You can find the awards and additional anniversary information here:

Vizzed has a Facebook App that allows you to play RGR games right on facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=166142096817795&sk=wall
Be sure to 'Like' the App and also Share it with your friends!
This will be great for when vizzed goes down, you'll still be able to play retro games! You wont be able to load or save your progress with the games in the app (I've got a separate app coming out eventually for that) and you can't play any of the RGR Plugin games with it but most of the java games are available within the app.
So what's the point? Well like I said, if vizzed goes down, you can still play some retro games. Also, for some people it's hard to get their friends to join vizzed but it's easier to get them to use an app on facebook so this is a great opportunity to introduce them to vizzed!
And before any complains about the look, I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and to keep the strain down as much as I could. Basically the app is on its own server which isn't nearly as powerful as the vizzed servers so therefore I wanted the app to use very little strain. It doesn't use a database and the game navigator is basically all client side.
If you have any questions or suggestions about the app, suggest it in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34177
The ability so save and load your game progress works again. The ability to upload stuff and take screenshots should work again as well. And the Chat Bar should work again. The problem was that the log files on the server built up and used up all the servers disk space, this problem has been fixed.
The ability to save is currently down. Not sure why this happened but it's most definitely because Godaddy was messing around with my server and messed something up. Now they're trying to fix it and should have it fixed within 24 hours. Even though it's not my fault at all, I'll apologize for Godaddy and for the inconvenience.
A new version of the Plugin has just been released and it is required to continue playing RGR games. Here's what's new:
Bug Fixes:
-GB and GBC games are now more playable and no longer lag
-There were a few GBA games that had lag, these have been fixed
-If a game fails to download, it'll redownload when you play it again instead of being corrupted
-Some N64 games may play better
New Feature:
HighScore mode has been added to the RGR Plugin games. This means that you can compete for high scores in any of the RGR Plugin games. To do so, scroll down the page where it shows the user high scores and click 'Compete for Highscore'. On top of this, it'll also record how many seconds it took you to acheive that score so in case 2 people have the same score, the person who got that score in the least amount of time will win the tie breaker.
Previous Updates (in case you missed them from the update from earlier this month):
-Saving and Loading works for new users now
-Save files are automatically backed up, so in case your save file gets corrupted or lost, you can recover it from the Save File Manager
You can get the new plugin here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=8676
When you go to install it, it'll automatically try and uninstall the previous version.
Thanks to everyone who donated to help us get this update. Keep up the donations so that we can get more updates!
If you have any questions or feedback regarding this update, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33911
Vizzed is looking to get physical copies of all the games in the Retro Game Room.
You can donate any game. If we already have it or if it's for a system that we don't have, we'll simply sell the game our self and use the money we earn to put toward RGR Plugin updates. You can also donate game systems as well, but no accessories (unless it's a valuable accessory).
You can also earn Viz. I'll send you 500 Viz for each US $1 the game is worth. If you want to know how much Viz I'd send you for donating your games, respond to the below thread and tell me which games you'd want to donate. If you want to simply donate money, that'd help out a lot too and you earn 1000 Viz for each $1 you donate.
When you're ready to donate your games, PM me and I'll give you my shipping address that you can send the games to.
If you have any questions or want to donate your games, please respond to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33843
Vizzed has been in the process of getting the RGR Plugin updated so that it has better game compatibility, less bugs, more features and more systems. While we did just get an update, it resulted into some bugs and didn't have any new features. We still need more money to get all the updates done that we need and since I have to pay someone to make these updates, it costs money.
All donations will go toward tom760, the developer of the Plugin.
tom760: Hopefully you get enough donations to continue working on the RGR Plugin.
Like always, you'll get Viz for donating, you get 10,000 Viz for each US $10 that you donate.
To donate, or to find more information about donating, go here:

All RGR Plugin Save Files should be working now.
If you have any questions or if you are still missing a save file, please report it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33576
The RGR Plugin games are back up but you'll notice that there's a new version of the Plugin. The main update to this Plugin is that anyone should be able to save and load their progress now, even new users. With the old Plugin, we reached the max number of users who could save their progress. Bug testers of the new RGR Plugin also reported that it ran a little faster. The new Plugin can be found here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=8676
Most of the Save files are up but for some users they are not. If you notice that your save files are missing, don't worry, they probably haven't been updated yet. All save files should be working within 16 hours.
A big thanks to tom760 for making it his priority to getting the RGR Plugin updated so that save files would work for new users, so be sure to give him full credit and thank him, not me.
tom760: Thanks for your hard work, we all look forward to your future updates to the RGR Plugin!
If anyone has any issues with the new Plugin, be sure to report it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33576
Please give me 2 more hours and the RGR Plugin games will be up again. Sorry for the delay.
Vizzed RGR Plugin Games will be back up at 10:00 central time. This maintenance is necessary in order to release the New RGR Plugin and to allow people who currently can't save to save.
You can still continue to play the Java emulated games.
The Vizzed RGR Plugin Games Will be taken down in 15 minutes. This maintenance is necessary for the release of a newer Plugin which will Allow people who currently can't save/load their progress to be able to do so now.
This is a response from the previous announcement. I had Google rescan the site and they found no viruses. This means that vizzed is no longer flagged.
It appears that Vizzed may have been flagged by AVG, Google and/or Firefox as having malware and/or viruses but that is not true. I'm not sure why this happened but I'm thinking a competitor site has falsely reported vizzed as having harmful files.
If anyone else is noticing these problems or has more information, please report it here:

Vizzed 7 Year Anniversary is coming up on December 6th but the annual Vizzed Awards Voting has begun. Vote for others and see if you got voted for so far here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33404
Also, the Java Super Nintendo emulator is back up which means those who can't install the RG Plugin for whatever reason can play SNES games on the site using Java. It's been a few months since the Java SNES emulator was up so enjoy. NOTE: A lot of SNES games don't work in the SNES Java emulator.
If you have any questions regarding this update, please ask here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33412
All of the games that use Java Emulators are back up. The save files should also be back up and working for the Java emulated games.
The play Window for the games are a little different and have more information on them. Also, JavaBoy play screen is bigger and VizzedAEPgb play screen can be enlarged (see instructions on the play window to the right). I hope the info to the right side of the java game play windows aren't very intrusive.
The Java Emulator and games are now located on a different server. This means that even if Vizzed goes down, you'll still be able to continue playing your game and may also be able to save and load. It also means that if vizzed transfers to a new server, those games wont go down since they wont need to be transferred. The ability to take screenshots with the NESCafe and VizzedAEPgb has been removed and timetrial mode with NESCafe will be stripped soon (and replaced with the ability to do timetrials in the RGR Plugin).
I know I said that you'd be able to continue playing your game even if vizzed goes down but it doesn't do you any good if you can't access vizzed while it's down to find other games to play. I've got a solution to that: Facebook App. That's right, I'm announcing it right now for the first time, sometime in the future, I'll be putting together an App on Facebook that will allow you to navigate the Java based games from the RGR right on facebook AND you'll be able to load/save your save files on there as well.
If you have any problems or questions, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33342
Some of the Java Emulators are back up, which includes: Nintendo, Game Boy Color, Game Boy, Game Gear and Sega Master System. The saving on those games should work as well.
I'll have a more thorough update in about 16 hours and the rest of the java games should be up by that time as well.
There will be no highscore competition this month, instead there will be just 1 mega screenshot competition worth 2.5 more Viz:
Screenshot Competition: Screenshot Hunter
Take screenshots of games missing screenshots in the RGR

Might be another 1-2 days before Java emulators are back up. Sorry about this.
When transferring to the new Linux server, I was surprised to find out that a directory can only contain 31,998 directories, which means there were some save files that couldn't be transferred. New users (anyone with an ID above 145372) and users with IDs between 87815 and 99999 wont be able to able to load or save their progress for the time being. I'm hoping to figure out a solution to this problem within a week. I'm very sorry for those who fall into this category. Once I've figured out a solution, your save files will be transferred, they will not be lost.
Everyone else should be able to load and save without problems.
If you have any questions or feedback, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33155
RGR Plugin Games back up but saving may not work
The games that require the RGR Plugin are back up. The reason it took longer for them to come back up is because changing the file permissions of files on a linux server takes longer than what it does on a windows server, I didn't know that so my estimates were off. For some people (about half of everyone at the moment), the save files probably wont work right away because it's still updating the file permissions for a lot of users, it should be done updating this within 12-24 hours. Everyone can still play any game with the RGR Plugin but only half of you will be able to load and save your game progress. Screenshot taking with the RGR Plugin will work.
Java emulator games will be down until probably Monday
The games that require a Java emulator will be down until Monday night probably (central time zone). The reason for this is because a lot of them don't seem to work on the new linux server, this is also something I wasn't expecting so therefore I couldn't prepare for. I've come up with a solution though but it'll take a few days to do. No save files will be lost.
I'm sorry for all this inconvenience, it's not something I could have prepared for or expected. A lot of my time has been invested into this and a lot of money has gone down the drain ($500+ since both the previous servers were purchased but didn't work out, not to mention the 3 month purchase of the new server costing $1000+).
If you have any questions, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33115
It's been about 24 hours since my last announcement and I'm still not done transferring the save files, so please give me another 4-8 hours.
Thanks.
We're on the new server and all the files except the Game Room have been transferred. There might be a few features that are currently unavailable but those will be fixed within 12-36 hours. The Game Room and all the save files should be up within 24 hours.
The site might be a little slow for the next few hours but I've done some tests and once everything is complete, I know for sure that the site will be way faster.
Again, thanks for everyone's patience.
It turns out that the new server just isn't working out so we have to migrate to another server yet again. I've decided to switch from a Windows server to a Linux server and I'll also be getting some assistance from godaddy with setting up the new server so there's no reason why the migration should go wrong this time.
The game room games will not be playable during this time but they should be playable again within 24 hours. The other parts of the site will probably be available for most of the 24 hour migration but there may be some down time.
If you have any questions, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33035
The transferring of the files finished about 2 days ago, so everyone should be able to save and load their save files. Site maintenance isn't over yet though.
The new server is having the same issues as the previous, I'm not sure what's causing it but I'll be spending the next few days trying to figure it out. In the mean time, the site will still be slow. The site will be fast again, we all just need patience.
If there is anything that didn't get transferred properly such as a screenshot or a save file, let me know here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33018
The transferring of the Retro Game Room save files is taking longer than expected, there's about 750,000+ save files at around 40 GB total. The loading and saving in the RGR should be ready within 8 hours. The rest of the site will work but there might be some down time during the next 8 hours.
Sorry for this inconvenience and I thank you all for your patience. Trust me, this will all be worth it by the time it's finished.
The Server Maintenance / Transfer is almost finished, it should be finished within 12 hours. Until that time, the Retro Game Room games will be down but almost everything else on the site should work.
Server Maintenance in 30 Minutes so be sure to save your progress and quit your games. You'll still be able to use most portions of the website but the games will go down in 30 minutes. The site shouldn't go down but we'll see. The games should be playable again within 24 hours.
The Server Maintenance mentioned in the previous announcement will be delayed by up to 16 hours. I'll make another announcement 1-2 hours before the maintenance begins.
Server Maintenance Scheduled for tomorrow at this time. It'll start between 7 and 8 PM central time on Tuesday and end sometime on Wednesday.
I'll be transferring the site over to a new and even better server. The current server has had some sudden issues with it causing it to run slower than usual. The new server should be twice as fast as the site previously was and easily 10 times faster than what it is now.
I'll make another announcement before the maintenance begins. The RGR games will probably be down during the maintenance but the rest of the site should be functional.
After the recent maintenance, most of you will have to sign into the RGR to play your games. If you play a game while logged out, you wont be loading your save file but instead will be loading a public save file. To load the proper save file, be sure to log into the RGR, even if it shows you already logged in on the forum pages, you still need to login again to be logged into the RGR.
If you have any questions, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=32858
The site maintenance is complete. To see what the maintenance is about, refer to the previous announcement.
If you're still having problems that were caused from the Maintenance, please report it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=32682
There's still things that need to be fixed and those things will be fixed soon but most of the site should work fine.
Here's briefly 5 of the biggest reasons for the updates:
1. Better Search Engine Rankings (means more traffic)
2. Cleaner page urls
3. Possibly fixed cookie issues with google chrome
4. Vizzed.com index is no longer a redirect
5. Opens the door for 2 features which will be available soon (and also future features)
If you're having problems since the update or want to see full details of the maintenance, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=32550
I'll be doing more site maintenance which will last between 2 - 4 hours.
During this time, some features may not work.
You may get logged off but you can simply log right back in.
The site will be undergoing maintenance for the next 1 or 2 hours. It may or may not affect some of you.

http://www.travelingtyrant.com/
A great book and perfect for kids who need a book for a school book report. It's basically a dark humor sci-fi book. The paperback is $12.99 on amazon but you can get the Kindle copy for only $2.99
http://www.amazon.com/The-Traveling-Tyrant-ebook/dp/B0052A47KM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1307046730&sr=8-2
I'll also throw in 5000 Viz to each person that buys a copy of the book.
"Mordid is the Traveling Tyrant, bent on conquering and pillaging the galaxy-for a price. When Galactic Hotels asks him to remove some pesky, religious zealots from the jungle-world of Pristine it seems to be an easy task. Unfortunately for Mordid, the preacher has a daughter, the Command Staff is out to murder him and each other, and the employer wants the planet intact. Will Mordid claim the planet, outsmart his Command Staff and get the girl, or is Paradisa Lost?"

Vizzed is looking for anyone interested in joining the RGR Staff and who also has great reviewing abilities. Your primarily role will be to write 1 or 2 reviews a week but you'll also be given a secondary role once you've held the position for a while and have done a good job.

~sakura~ Day ends with 2350 Posts! We set out to get at least 1000 and our goal was 2000 and we definitely exceeded both of those and hit a ton of board records today, ~sakura~ would be proud of us!
Great job everyone, it was a great cause and the day went very well
Discussion thread can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=30503
~sakura~ Day is today which means, it's time to start posting as much as we can! The minimum goal is 1000 posts but it'd be great if we could break 2000.
If you don't know what this is, refer to the previous announcement or refer to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=30294
EDIT: I've enabled profile comments for the time being so everyone can pass on their comments to her via her profile.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding ~sakura~ Day, post them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=30417
We're going to honor ~sakura~ again this year on August 10th by posting as much as we possibly can in single 1 day. For those who don't know, she was a member who was diagnosed with leukemia about a year ago and had a very bad chance of survival, she made her going away thread here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=14496
We haven't heard from her since so we don't know what whether she survived or not, we can only hope that she did but to honor and remember her, we're going to make this an annual thing. August 10th our goal is to reach at least 1,000 posts but last year we got around 1600 and our current board record for most posts within a 24 hour period is 1915 so I'd really like to beat both of those records so I would really like to aim for 2000 posts in a single day. I'll make another announcement once the post spree day officially begins and ends.
To find out why we picked 1000 post as a target, why we chose to honor her this way and why we chose August 10th, refer to this thread:

I'm currently selling a bunch of Playstation 3 games (and various other gaming items) in my Amazon store so check it out here:
http://www.amazon.com/shops/vizzed
I'll also give you 1000 Viz for each $5 you spend in my store (but be sure to PM me letting me know which items you bought). The money earned in the store will help go toward future features on vizzed (such as updates to the RGR Plugin).
If you don't have a PS3 or you're not interested in any of the items in the store but still want to help out, feel free to donate to the site
If you want to donate any video games to vizzed, I'll give you 500 Viz for each US $1 that your game is worth, please PM me which games you'd like to donate to the site and I'll give you my address for you to send the games to. Vizzed is looking to get physical copies of all the games in the RGR but if you donate a game that isn't in the RGR, than I'll place it in my amazon store and money earned from it will go toward future site features.

The site maintenance and server migration are completely finished (finally). Everything on the site should be back to normal and the site should be a lot faster than it use to be and there should be very little down time now.
If you've lost a save file over the past week, PM me and I'll compensate you with 5000+ Viz.
If you're having any other issues that have come up over the past week because of the server issues and migration, please report them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=29554
You should all be able to load and save your game progress on the games again. Also, the screenshot taking abilities should work again as well.
The site still has a few more issues that need to be worked out but once those are taken care of, I'll make an official announcement letting everyone know that vizzed is back to normal.
The server transfer is complete. Still need to transfer RGR Plugin save files and screenshots though, so that might take around 12 hours. This means that any save files you make during this time may get overwritten.
The site should be a bit faster now
Site will begin migrating to the new server, and it will take anywhere between 12 and 24 hours. Any save files and uploads made during this time will probably be lost so if you're currently playing a game on the site, I suggest you save your progress now and find a game to play that doesn't require saving.
I'll make another announcement when everything is done.
The site will be transferring to a new server (and it'll probably be faster). The current has some issues with it and some other problems I can't speak of publicly, so we'll be transferring over to a new server sometime within the next 48 hours. I'll make another announcement when the transfer begins (the RGR will probably be down during the 12 hour transfer). The site may be up and down during this 48 hours period.
I apologize for the inconvenience but things came up that took me by surprise, I hate having to do transfers during the weekend and it definitely wasn't my decision so I hope everyone understands.
Thanks.
The New Chat Room that launched a few days ago is now mobile phone compatible. Before you had to have a flash enabled browser, now you can get in with a browser that doesn't support flash.
You can find the Chat Room links at the top of the page.
As said before, the chat room is lag free, tons of better features, and it stays up even if vizzed goes down.
Vizzed has upgraded chat rooms again. The new chat room is located on a different server which means that if Vizzed is down, the chat room wont be. Use your Vizzed board login details to get into the chat room.
Currently you need a Flash compatible browser to get into the chat room but that'll change on Monday.
Here's the chat room:
http://davideo7chat.chat.123flashchat.com/
Something I should point out. The chat room no longer logs your chat minutes (maybe in the future it will though) and it also no longer costs Viz to use the chat room.
The chat room is not only lag free but is just filled with tons of nice features. Here's a few worth mentioning:
-Can be in more than 1 room at a time (and it lets you know when each room gets a new message)
-Can embed youtube videos to chat
-Shows who is typing and when
-Custom Avatars (this feature will be available on monday)
-A special chat room with a media player
-Chat History
-Better mod options for the staff
-Lots of adjustable options for each user
-Tons more, you'll just have to try it out to see
If you have any questions or comments regarding the new chat room, please post them here:

Also, the amount of Viz you get for referring users has been extended until July 1st. For those who are unfamiliar with this, as a way to say sorry for the problems Vizzed has been experiencing for the past 2 months, I made it so you get triple the amount of Viz for referring users. I also made it so that games are 75% their original Viz price. These offers was suppose to end 2 days ago but I'm extending it until July 1st.
The site Maintenance is complete and this means that everyone should be able to save their game progress on the RGR games now. Other features on the site that involve uploading should also work again. We will be having some more maintenance sometime within the next 7 days. Also want to point out that the new wave of attacks haven't stopped and haven't been fully prevented yet so it's possible that the site may go down a few times during the next few days or even weeks (hopefully this will be solved soon though).
If saving your games still doesn't work, be sure to PM RGR Staff:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/sendprivate.php?userid=35245
Lastly, I'd like to give a big public thanks to lorreleibailey for donating $250 to the site and a total of $450 over the past 2 months. The money really helps out, especially when money is needed to invest into security because of the attacks vizzed has been experiencing over the past 2 months (and it also helps to recover from financial damage that the attacks have caused).
I'm extending the site Maintenance by another 24 hours. Refer to previous announcement for more info.
The site has been under serious security maintenance for the past 24 hours and will probably be under maintenance for the next 24 hours. The site may be down at various times and certain features and pages may be unavailable during this time.
I apologize for this inconvenience and sorry that vizzed has been down a lot lately. There's been a new group of attackers on the site and I've been working day and night to fix things that they've been damaging and to also prevent them from doing further damage. I appreciate everyone's support and understanding during all of this and I'm very grateful that I've got such a loyal and understanding community, the support of the vizzed community is what motivates me to dedicate hours upon hours taking care of these issues and because of that, I wont let you all down
The maintenance I was working on for the past few hours is complete. You all should be able to save and load in your games now and also be able to upload stuff. If something stopped working because of this update, be sure to send a Private Message to the RGR Staff:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/sendprivate.php?userid=35245

I'm looking for members who will have a lot of free time this summer (aka June, July and August) that are willing to help out with the Retro Game Room (and who also want to earn lots of Viz).

https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=27256
If you lost your save file over the past few weeks, PM me letting me know which games you lost save files on and I'll compensate you 5000+ Viz for your loss.
Btw, you can try recovering your save files from the save file manager:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/savefiles.php
Every day the save file manager use to backup all your save files, I disabled the auto-backup earlier this month but if you lost a save file that was created before than, you might be able to recover it. NOTE: That page only works with Firefox.
Site back up. We had to implement more security because of some recent attacks. Sorry about that
The site speed should be back to normal as to how it was weeks ago (maybe even faster). Also the site maintenance that took place a few hours ago took a little longer than I expected, I apologize for that but that maintenance is finished.
Still some other things I need to sort out but once I feel everything is functioning the way they were weeks ago, I'll make a separate announcement. Thanks for all your patience
Earlier on Sunday, the Database crashed due to overwhelming strain on the server which resulted into 50+ user accounts being dropped from the database. I was able to recover most of the accounts but for those whose accounts weren't recovered, I'll compensate you 10,000 Viz and also help you recover your old save files.
I'm very sorry for this, as stated in the previous Announcement, the server strain will be an issue of the past within a few days.
The site should be back to normal speed sometime tomorrow but at the very latest, 2 or 3 days. Until than, the site will be very slow and you may need to refresh a few pages a few times. Thanks for your patience.
For security reasons, everything is on 1 server at the moment. We've purchased a more secure 2nd server using the $250 that Geeogree donated to the site (thanks again geo
) and that'll be set up soon and once it is, we'll be expanding vizzed to 2 servers again. I'll make another announcement once the transfer is complete.We implemented security to the website and have more to implement so we ask for your patience and understanding. The website shouldn't have to be taken down for it but we never know for sure especially with the attacks. Some things are trial and error so hopefully by the end of the month (at most) everything will be back to normal. We have been brainstorming a ton of ideas to add to the website but will have to wait on those ideas until we get back on our feet. So don't give up on us!
And thank you for being supportive, encouraging, and understanding during this time as the attacker has been relentless attacking on and off since May 5 so it has been a difficult time. We will keep everyone updated with any news here and on our Facebook wall.Unfortunately the attacks just keep on coming so Vizzed will be down in around 2 hours for about 2 hours for security maintenance. So be sure to prepare for that, maybe find a good game in the RGR that you can load up ahead of time and play for 2 hours (just be sure to save after the site goes back up). Sorry for the inconvenience
It's been a terrible week, $500+ worth of damage, a lot of my time invested (14+ hours a day for the past week) but it's safe to say vizzed is finally done with the attacks and security updates.
I just want to say thanks for everyone's patience and support. Also want to say that I'm terribly sorry for all of this inconvenience, so to make up for it, all games are 75% off Viz and you now get tripled the Viz for referring members to the site until summer (june 21st).
How can you help Vizzed recover from these attacks? There's no doubt that this has hurt vizzed financially, but it also hurt our search engine ranking and traffic. If everyone could pitch in to help out, that'd be great. You can help out by advertising the site by either telling your friends about it or posting links to it on other sites. Remember, you'll get 3 times the Viz for doing it which is: 300 Viz for each person you direct to the site, 1500 Viz if they sign up and 3000 Viz if they make at least 1 post.
If you have any questions or comments, please reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26698
Doing the last of the site maintenance (for a while anyway). For the next 12 or so hours, any save files will probably be lost. So I suggest for the time being, you guys either spend your time on the forums or play games that you don't need to save on.
Any Save Files Made in the next few hours will be lost. The reason is because I'm backing up the current save files so any save file made after this announcement will be lost. This basically means either spend your time on the forums or play games that you don't need to save on (the same thing applies for taking screenshots).
Closing down the RGR for about 15 minutes for maintenance.
There are still some things on the site that still need to be fixed or transferred, everything should be back to normal by Monday. It's basically anything relating to the RGR which may have problems so for those who can't play the games they want, feel free to post on the forum until everything is back to normal.
The site was DoS attacked on Thursday. I've spent many hours trying to get the site back up and implementing more security. No files were lost and no personal information was stolen. However, it might be a little longer before all of everyone is able to access the site. I thank you all for your patience and I apologize for vizzed being down, this will probably do some damage to vizzed search engine rankings and traffic and overall will have costed me $100s so for those who want to help out, tell your friends about the site, advertise the site on other sites or donate.
I ended up migrating to a new server, I figured if the site is going to be down, I might as well make something good out of the situation and migrating to a better server would require down time anyway. So the site is on the new server and the new server is a bit better than the previous, it should be faster and should be able to handle more users. All of the files have already transferred except RGR Plugin save files and screenshots taken with the RGR Plugin, those should be finished transferring sometime on Saturday.
I highly recommend you guys favorite vizzed on facebook, that's where I announce stuff when the site is down and keep everyone informed:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vizzed/120725987944823
If your experiencing any problems that you think have been caused from all of this, please report it to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26538
153 Hacks, Homebrew, Pirated and Translated Games were added to the RGR. Most of the games are for NES and Genesis but some are for the Game Boy Advance. There were a few Pokemon Hacks added and a bunch of Genesis hacks added.
I've had a lot of people requesting for me to add certain games and I figured I might as well set aside a few days to search for some of these rare games and add them.
I haven't tested out the games yet (and some of the games might really suck) and I haven't added content or graphics to most of them either. It'd be great if you guys could go through and review some of the added games, rate them and also take screenshots.

I've been busy for the past few months working on a game for a book written by Richard Marsden. The game will be out within a few months but the book is out now:
http://www.travelingtyrant.com/
A great book and perfect for kids who need a book for a school book report. It's basically a dark humor sci-fi book.
I'll also throw in 5000 Viz to each person that buys a copy of the book.
"Mordid is the Traveling Tyrant, bent on conquering and pillaging the galaxy-for a price. When Galactic Hotels asks him to remove some pesky, religious zealots from the jungle-world of Pristine it seems to be an easy task. Unfortunately for Mordid, the preacher has a daughter, the Command Staff is out to murder him and each other, and the employer wants the planet intact. Will Mordid claim the planet, outsmart his Command Staff and get the girl, or is Paradisa Lost?"
If you have any questions regarding the book, please post them here:

The maintenance I did yesterday caused some save files for certain games to stop working, mainly Game Boy and Game Boy Color games played in the VizzedAEPgb emulator. This has been fixed and you guys should be able to load your old save files again.
If you've saved a game in the past 24 hours using the VizzedAEPgb emulator than there's a very good chance that your save file may be lost. However, it is possible to recover that save file manually but that's time consuming for me so if you really put a lot of hours into a new save file in the past 24 hours, send me 500 Viz and let me know which game you lost your save file on.
Btw, games should be working again too.
If you have any questions or if you want to confirm your save files are working again, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26133
The maintenance I from before caused some people to temporarily lose their save files, I'm fixing this problem which means the games will be down for a few minutes. I'll make another announcement when I'm done and if the save files work again.
The maintenance I was working on is finished. If you're suddenly encountering a lot of games not working, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26059
The Vizzed RGR game structure is undergoing maintenance, some game systems may not work for a little while. Maintenance shouldn't take any longer than 3 hours.
I've been working on updating the Retro Game Room pages for quite a while now, I'm finally finished so here's the updates:
Thorough Game Reviews +Viz
You can now write up as big of a review you want and you can earn a lot of Viz depending on the size of the review. You can also rate the game's Graphics, Sound/Music, Addictiveness, Depth, Story and Difficulty (and once enough games have been rated on these categories, I'll make it so you can search for games based on them). You also earn Viz each time your review is rated.
Ability to Rate Reviews and Reviews are sorted by Rating +Viz
You can now rate a user's review on 1-5, 5 being great and 1 being crap. When you rate a user's review, you earn 3 Viz and if you rated the review above a 4, the reviewer also gets Viz (and the reviewer will receive a notification that you rated their review if you rated it a 4 or up, if you gave it a 3 or below, they wont know who did it). The reviews are ordered by rating so the helpful reviews will show up first and the pointless reviews will be hidden.
Ability to Rate Screenshots and Screenshots are sorted by Rating +Viz
Just like the ability to rate Reviews, you can now rate user submitted screenshots. When you rate a user's screenshot, you earn 2 Viz and if you rated the screenshot above a 4, the screenshot taker also gets Viz (and the screenshot taker will receive a notification that you rated their review if you rated it a 4 or up, if you gave it a 3 or below, they wont know who did it). The screenshots are ordered by rating so the awesome screenshots will show up first and the pointless screenshots will be hidden.
Reviews are now linked to threads +Viz
When you go to create a review for a game, you're brought to a page which looks similar to making a thread, that's because you're actually doing both when you submit a review. The 'review thread' will be available on the RGR game's page and also available in the 'Reviews' sub forum in the 'Retro Game Room' forum, this gives the staff the ability to more properly monitor reviews and to trash ones that break the rules. This also means you earn lots of Viz when people reply to your 'review thread' and it also means that your reviews get to have their own title.
The header is now the same as the index header
Which means you have all the options on the RGR game pages as you would on the RGR index pages. You can search for games from game pages better now.
A few layout updates:
-Reviews have their own section now and are easier to sort through
-User comments have their own section now
-All of the scrollable boxes are a little smaller in size so that they can properly fit on a 1024x786 monitor
-The header of the index and game pages is a little more well organized and also a 'select' and 'unselect' all button for when choosing which system to search
It'd be great if you guys could go through and start rating screenshots and reviews you see for various games and also submit a few of your own! (keep in mind that their are daily limits on how many reviews and screenshots you can rate per a day).
Please reply to this thread with any feedback or problems regarding the changes:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=25560
The maintenance is finished, you guys wont notice anything new but you'll see the feature I've been working on in a few days.
If a few screenshots of yours are missing, you'll have to re-submit them by submitting them like you normally would (most likely using the screenshot manager page).
If there are any problems in the Retro Game Room that have resulted from this maintenance, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=25139
The site is currently undergoing maintenance, it may be slow and unresponsive at times. You'll also notice the RGR screenshots currently not available and the chat room will probably have many issues. This will be fixed shortly, I'll make a separate announcement when things are fixed.

I've spent the past 2 days working on getting an updated version of the chat room back up. Spent a good amount of time securing it and adding a few features. You'll notice a few features removed (this is because V7 of the room no longer has those features unfortunately) and also a few extra features and you'll also notice that this version runs a lot better (and is less server strain).
You guys can definitely still donate toward the chat room I mentioned in the previous announcement (surprisingly no one donated but if we do get some donations, I'll put it toward a better chat room).
If you have any feedback or questions, please reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=24068
I was forced to remove the current chat room due to a few users finding ways to hack it. Now I'm looking into a better chat room. The current one I'm looking into is called 'Flashcoms Chat' which goes for about US $300 (features here and demo here). Since I don't have that much, I'm relying on the vizzed community to donate so that we can get a new chat room. I haven't picked out a chat room quite yet but $300 is the amount I'm aiming to raise for this since that'll be enough for most chat rooms that I'm interested in (or the cost to upgrade the current so that it is more secure).
The sooner you guys donate, the sooner we can get a new chat room up.
Current Chat Room Donations: $0 / $300
none yet
If you donate, please be sure to respond to this thread letting me know your donation was for the chat room so that I can add you to the list:

I'm looking for someone who has very good PHP knowledge and is also familiar with vBulletin boards and how their code works. I'm looking to hire someone to help JigSaw and I get a vBulletin 'Triple Triad' addon to work with my forum (which is a custom made forum). We're willing to help out as much as possible, we basically need someone to assist us (you can see the addon here).
I'm willing to pay up to US $100 and 50,000 Viz for anyone who can help us. I should point out that I already have PHP knowledge (most of this site is coded by me and some of it by JigSaw), I basically need someone for their vBulletin coding knowledge.
Maybe the easiest way to go about this is I give you the variables and DB info my site uses and you modify the software so that it works with it.

I've purchased a new Chat Room for vizzed board, so much better than the old chat rooms. To access it, click the 'Chat Rooms' link from the top of the site. It was about $85 and I might get some additional plugins (which cost extra) so for those who plan to use it often and have money, show your thanks by donating
You can find the Chat Room Help Page which explains the features and how they work here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/prochatrooms/help/index.php
(note that some features have been disabled due to abuse, including sound effects and ring bell)
Features Included:
-Faster and runs better than the old chat room
-Users can adjust their font color and style
-Users can change their avatar which represents them in the chat room (I'll eventually allow users to add their own custom avatars)
-Shows who is in which chat room the right side
-You can exchange pictures and files with other users (do this only in the appropriate room and abuse will result into a ban)
-A roll dice feature which is nice for sim battles
-Lets you change your user status for people in all rooms to see
-Other various IRC Commands available
-You can block users who are annoying so that you don't have to see what they're saying
-Flood control and swear filters
-Users can vote to ban someone if there's no mods around (it takes 3 votes for someone to get banned)
-Transcr
-32 Smilies to use
-Users show up as idle if they are inactive for 5 minutes and get booted after 15 minutes of inactivity
-Staff now have mod powers which allow them to ban users
-From user profiles, you can see how many hours each user has spent chatting in the chat rooms (it's right below the thread stats toward the top center of the page)
-Users can create their own rooms and also put passwords on them (rooms disappear after 60 seconds of inactivity)
Some of the features I've modified myself and I also plan to add in a few of my own. If anyone has any questions or feedback regarding the new chat room, please post it here:

3 updates here:
Game History
You can now see the last 50 games you've played in order from your Gamer Profile (about half way down the page). This is handy for those who have the laptop item or have a game system and want to track which games they've played. Also note that if you play a game 2 times in a row, back to back, it will show that you've played that game 2 times back to back.
Cheaper Games
As everyone knows, Viz is easy to earn (you get 100 just from coming to the site each day) and is free but I've gone ahead and made many of the RGR games cost less Viz, the average game dropped by about 5 Viz. This is a permanent change. This will probably increase the cost of the server's bandwidth slightly so feel free to donate to help me out
More Graphics
I added Box Graphics and Screenshots to many of the Apple II games, before hardly any of them had graphics. I also added Box Graphics and Screenshots to many of the Commodore 64 games, none of them had graphics before. Having graphics to games is important because it helps people figure out whether a game looks like it's worth playing or not because many people enjoy discovering games and finding new ones to play.
If you have any questions, comments or feedback about these updates, please reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=20083

I put together a list of around 20 Christmas games which you can play in the Retro Game Room. The list can be found here:

I've added MSX and Commodore 64 games to the site. However, the MSX games haven't been tested yet so play them at risk because they might not work. As for the Commodore 64 games, they haven't been tested and they still have to be properly named, play those at risk also. I'm hoping by the end of the month that all the non working games for those systems will be removed, the games properly named and the adult games removed.

Vizzed is back up and is now on both servers again like it had been before the incident of this past week.
If you are having any problems that are due to this transfer, please let me know here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=18357
Vizzed will be down for a few minutes sometime during the next half hour, I'll be transferring the Database over to the 2nd Server again.
For the next few hours you all might notice the Forums being rearranged, I'm working on a few forum structure which will be available in a few hours. You can still post like normal.
As most of you know by now, Vizzed is back, for more info, refer to the previous announcement.
As a way to say sorry for Vizzed being down for 12+ hours, games will cost 50% less Viz for the next 3 days!
If you have any comments regarding any of this, please reply here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=18277
For reasons beyond me, the Plesk Control Panel which is installed on the 2nd Server which hosts the Database for Vizzed got messed up and the server also got messed up (I have no idea what happened either, I didn't touch anything). After many hours I was able to get Godaddy to fix the server but the Plesk installation is beyond repair so I'll have to have that server formatted and the Plesk CP reinstalled. So for the time being, the DB will be on the same server as everything else. A month or so ago I got a 2nd server to help reduce site strain in order to increase the site speed. Until I get the 2nd Server back up and running, the site will be a little slower than normal since the DB will be on it again. When the 2nd Server is ready for the DB to be transferred, Vizzed will probably be down for just a few hours, this will probably take place within the next 1 or 2 days.

About 6 hours ago Vizzed DB was transferred to a new Server. This process actually went very smoothly, I think the site was only down for a half hour if that.
What does this mean for everyone? Well the pages should still run quickly even during peak hours. Vizzed should now be able to handle between 2000-3000 people on at a time, compared to 500-600 before. Connecting to a DB that isn't on the same server as the PHP files adds a slight delay but hopefully it isn't to noticeable.
I also updated the Chat Bar to a stable release which means that it should have less glitches now. I also changed the scheme of it a little.
If anyone has any questions or comments, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=17266
I've purchased a 2nd server to help out with the Server strain.
Vizzed will be down for a few hours any time between 12 AM and 12 PM Central Time.
The 2nd Server will increase the site's speed greatly, there's just to much traffic for only 1 server so it's about time that we get a 2nd server.
Unfortunetly this also jacks up the monthly fee to keep the site up to about $400 a month, so this is also a reminder to donate to Vizzed if you can afford it.
For any questions or comments, please reply here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=17231
Sorry for the inconvenience of being down on and off, everything should be up and working fine now. There might be another security update tomorrow but I will inform you all with an announcement if I plan on doing anything which could result into the site being unavailable.
Vizzed will be undergoing maintenance for the next few hours.

Someone went through and edited the info to 30+ game pages in the Retro Game Room (mostly hacks). For most of the games the file was either removed or the game was marked as not working, resulting into these games not being playable.

The monthly Retro Game Room Competitions are a little over half way over, so be sure to compete before the month ends! This month's competitions:
HighScore Contest
Pac-Man
Screenshot Contest
Funny Comic Strip
Remember, the winners of each competition gets 10,000 Viz, 2nd and 3rd place also are awarded Viz.
I just want to announce that we received $270 in donations, the target was $300 but I was able to come up with the rest. Of course I encourage users to continue donating since the server costs around $300 a month and the next deadline will be a little over 1 month from now but from now on I'll be able to afford covering what isn't covered.
Anyways, I just want to say thanks to everyone who donated and to everyone who considered donating. It means a lot to have such a loyal and supportive community filled with kind and generous members, I couldn't ask for a better community
Any questions, comments or concerns, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=15961
NOTE: If you don't know what this Announcement is about, please refer to the previous Announcement.
I currently don't have enough money to renew the server 9 days from now and I'm in need of $300 for it. I honestly don't know where I'm going to come up with the money and I fear that vizzed could be down for a while if we don't get the $300 before September 12th.
If everyone who can afford just a little bit pitches in, we'll have enough for sure, so please consider helping out if you're able to. And remember, you are awarded 10,000 Viz for each US $10 you donate.
Reasons why I'm behind on the payment? 2 reasons:
1. I used a lot of the Vizzed fund to put toward an updated RGR Plugin without realizing that I put almost all of it toward the RGR Plugin. (the new RGR Plugin will be released soon which will have a few new features, many bugs and problems fixed, and also support for the famicom disk system).
2. My wife and I have our baby due any day which means money is very tight for us right now with all the baby expenses and hospital bills so I honestly don't have any of my own money to spare this time
If you have any questions, comments or feedback, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=15726
For 1 week only, you'll be given triple the amount of Viz you would normally get for referring people. This means you'll get 300 Viz anytime someone clicks your referral link, 1500 Viz if the person you referred signs up and 3000 Viz if they post!
Why do this?
1. I have a lot of sympathy for the kids who have to go back to school and this week most people who attend had to go back
2. What a great opportunity for you guys who are going back to school to tell your friends or classmates about vizzed
What or Where is your Referral code?
It can be found right below the message center (where it shows your Private Messages, Announcements and Notifications at the top of the page). You'll see a URL that highlights when you click it. Your referral link is relevant to the page so whatever page you copy the referral link from, that's the page the person will be taken to when they click your link. People can also sign up without clicking your referral link, when they are registering they can simply type in your username to refer to you (you'll still earn up to 2700 Viz this route).

Spent the past few days completely remaking the profile pages from the ground up. You can see an example here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/profile.php?id=1
And here's an example of the Game Profile:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/profile.php?id=1&profile=game
Please note that the big box ad is only temporary until I replace it with something else (a future feature).
What's new about the profiles:
-Profiles are a lot smaller, about half the size they were before
-Easier to navigate
-Quicker to load (a big profile like mine wont be to much faster but a newbies profile will be a LOT faster)
-Easier to browse the games you have
-SNES Games are displayed nicely (hope to do that with the rest soon)
-You can now see who has added you as a friend
-Your friends list is more organized
-You can now see how many guests you referred
-You can view up to 100 comments you've received on your profile
-You can quickly reply to comments
-Sent Private Message link is easier to find
-You can now see all your most recent comments you've made on games
-You can now see all your most recent reviews you've made on games
-You can now see all your most recent screenshots you've taken on games
-Bio at bottom of page so that people can have really big bios without it interfering with the rest of their profile
You can now Backup your Save Files, make copies and also delete them
Ever wanted more than 1 save file? Ever wanted to make a backup in case something happened to your save file? Ever wanted to delete your safe file for any reasons? Well now you can

Games Cost Viz Again
I know I said I'd wait until September 1st but I decided to end the offer early and in return, the games will be half the regular Viz price until September 1st. This probably is better for some people because you'll still own the games after September 1st, while having them 0 Viz means you wouldn't. Plus I've had a lot of people request me to do this.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions with these updates, please post them here:

500+ New Sega Genesis Games
I've added around 500 new Sega Genesis games to the RGR. Before we mostly had just USA games and we were even missing some of those (thanks to MBWrestler87 for mentioning that we were missing Virtua Fighter 2, which inspired this update). After this update we should have an almost complete Sega Genesis game collection. To see the newly added Genesis games, you can sort the Sega Genesis games in order by date as seen here:

9 New Pokemon GBA Hacks
I've done some searching for Pokemon hacks that vizzed didn't have. Most of these are only beta but most of these are rare and incredibly hard to find:
Pokemon Ash Gray Follows storyline of the Anime
Pokemon Azure Horizons
Pokemon Crystal Shards
Pokemon Lightning Yellow Remake of Pokemon Yellow
Pokemon Marble New Fake Pokemon
Pokemon Naranja
Pokemon Pyschic
Pokemon Waterfall Contains Pokemon from Pokemon Platinum
Be sure to take screenshots of the new Hacked games so that others can see what the game is like
Halo 2600 - Atari 2600 Hack
Lastly, we have an Atari 2600 hack. This would probably the the only time I'd even bother mentioning a single Atari 2600 hack but this one is big news. A former Microsoft employee made Halo for the Atari 2600. If you're not use to Atari 2600 games than you will not like this.

You can refer to the previous announcement on what this is all about, or you can refer here. The only way we can support her is by praying and by doing this. The only way we can show her how much we care and think about it her is by posting as much as we can in honor of her. It'll be very uplifting for her to see an entire community dedicate an entire day to posting as much as they can in honor of her and right now that's exactly what she needs, to have her mood lifted, even if it's only temporary.
So let the posting begin, it'll go on for 24 hours (server time) and our goal is to reach 1000 posts in a single day (go here to see why we picked 1000). Please keep the spam to a minimum, we will still ban members for excessive spamming.

A member of Vizzed Board by the username of ~sakura~ has leukemia and has only a 5% chance of living. I ask that you all keep her in your prayers. Go here to read her going away thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=14496
As a tribute to her, we will also be dedicating a day to her in which we will all post spree until we got a total of 1000 posts in a single day, that day will be August 10th, which is next Tuesday. For more information on '~sakura~ Day', please go here:

The Super Mario Bros High Score Contest and the Scavenger Hunt Screenshot Contest are coming to an end but there's still 4 1/2 days left to compete so be sure to give them a try.
Here are the Prizes for each contest:
1st = 10,000 Viz
2nd = 2,500 Viz
3rd = 1,000 Viz
If I were to sell a PC Controller with the Vizzed Logo on it and pre-configured for the RGR, would you buy it? Please answer honestly, I need to know this before I buy a bulk quantity of 50. Also be honest as to how much you'd be willing to spend on the controller if you say Yes, either $15 or $20 (Prices do include shipping).
You'd also get 10,000 Viz points with the PC Controller!
Basically the controller would already be set up with the RGR Plugin games so that you didn't have to configure them. The controller would be pre-approved by me to work good and be perfect for all the retro games in the RGR. It would also have the Vizzed Logo on the controller and the packaging.

Well after days of complications, Vizzed Board is back for good!
Well we had some complications with the current server so instead of fixing it, I decided to transfer to a new server. Well the new server had some complications and so I decided to revert back to this server. I've decided that instead of migrating to a new server in the future, I'll just get a 2nd server and place the database on the 2nd server. I can't possibly describe how many difficulties I went through but I've invested about 50+ hours on these problems over the past few days.
Anyways, Vizzed is back for good and nothing was lost. You can go back to posting and playing games like usual.
As a bonus to make up for the 3 days worth of down time, RGR Games will be free, 0 Viz, for the rest of summer (even if it'll cost me a ton of extra money, I feel I owe it to you guys).
For more information, questions, feedback, etc... refer to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=13982
I've just spent the past 3 days (and 20+ hours) optimizing the site to increase performance and speed. Unfortunately this required me to spend most of my Saturday working on this, however it was definitely needed since the site was starting to get real slow and the SQL Server kept crashing due to so much database strain and I wasn't going to put something like this off to the side. I'm sure everyone has noticed the huge increase in site speed
(note: the RGR game pages were taking up to 5 seconds to load before, now they're well under 1 second - in other words, about 10 times faster)
All games are free for the next few days
That's right, all games are free to play for the next few days. I'm making some DB changes and therefore I can't allow any data to go to or from the DB that involves purchasing or selling games. This means that while the games are free to play, you wont actually be purchasing them when you go to play them. Also because of this, you currently cannot sell your games that you have.
For those who are tech savvy, here's exactly what I did: Currently I have 1 DB table dedicated to keeping track of all the games that every user owns. The problem with this is that there's over 300,000 rows which means that every time a user goes to a Game page, it has to search through all of those rows to see if the user owns the game. What I plan on doing is making a table for each individual system. One of the reasons why the game pages are a lot faster now is because I removed the scr
Improved RGR Search
A lot of Google Bots would get stuck or lost in the RGR Search engine which would cause a little strain. Basically they'd end up on pages that would display no results. Here's what I did to prevent this:
When you go to search for a game, Tetris for example, the systems that have the game 'Tetris' would be clickable and let you view only Tetris games for whatever system you clicked and all other systems are dimmed but if you click them, it just takes you to the system but it wont try to display tetris games for that system since the dimmed systems don't have tetris games; same thing applies for the letters.
Another nice new thing I've added was that if your search results return nothing, the RGR will try to make a recommendation. So for example, lets say someone tried searching for Pokemon games for the Atari 2600, since none exist, it would give you recommendations of Pokemon games for other systems.
This also increases my Search Engine rankings since Search Engines will be finding and displaying good pages in the RGR instead of bad pages with no results.
Other Optimizations
I did optimize various other pages which included the Message Center, RGR Pages, Index, and a few other things.

Click Here to vizzit the Vizzed Ebay Store
Most of you probably have seen by now that Vizzed recently opened up a store on ebay and is giving out 500 Viz for every US $1 you spend in the store. The store is about half way over so be sure to take advantage of this offer and the below offers:
Most of the Games in the store have dropped in price between 25% - 50%
Also, Pokemon Cards have been added to the store!

I've just added 1200+ Nintendo and Famicom games (famicom games are listed under NES). The RGR should now have just about every single Nintendo and Famicom game ever made, I was surprised at how many Nintendo games were missing and I've also had a ton of requests to add more Famicom games. What is the Famicom? Well it's basically the Nintendo in Japan. You can find the newly added games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/index.php?system=nes&sort=id
I've also added 2000+ Atari 2600 games. I was surprised at how many games were missing. This update also includes a bunch of hacks. You can find the newly added games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/index.php?system=a2600&sort=id
Atari 2600 games are now 1 Viz. Since the games are so small, it was silly to even charge 5 Viz. Plus a lot of games suck. Another reason for this is that there's been a lot of people who have bought Atari 2600 games, didn't like them, rated them a 10 to get some of their Viz back, and than sold it (which results into a full refund). Well now that the games are only 1 Viz, you don't get any Viz for rating them or selling them.
Apple II games are now 5 Viz. Not a big drop in price but they went from 7 Viz to 5 for similar reasons to the Atari 2600 price drop.

3 new little features for the RGR Search engine.
Random Game
You can now have the RGR randomly pick a game for you by clicking the 'Random' button. It randomly picks a game based on your specifications. For example, if you type in 'mario' in the search box and click 'Random', it'll randomly bring up a game with 'mario' in the title. If click to display only game boy games and click 'Random', it'll randomly pick a game boy game. And of course if you have no specifications, it'll randomly pick any game in the RGR.
First Game
This is for users who are impatient or in a hurry and want to go directly to the game they are searching for. So if I wanted to search for 'Moto Roader' and wanted the RGR to take me directly to that game, I type in 'Moto Roader' and click '1st' and I'll be brought to that game automatically. Now there are some games with the same title as others, the RGR will randomly return either the one with the most views or the one with the highest rating. Just like the 'Random Game' feature, you can adjust your specifications. For example, I can click 'Sega Genesis' and than type in 'Bomberman' and it'll direct me to the 1st 'Bomberman' game the RGR finds for the Sega Genesis.
Country Origin on Search Results
Search results now tell you which country that specific game was released in. (U) = USA, (J) = Japan, (UEJ) = USA, Europe and Japan, etc. This will help you to avoid games released in certain countries. I also made little flags to represent which country each game is from.

You can now view and rotate 3D models of the game boxes for all the systems. This has been an on going project for the past 4 months now which I've put 100+ hours into. I probably wouldn't have began this project if I would've known it would have taken so long but I'm very happy with the outcome. I put a lot of time into the tiniest detail to get these things to look as real as possible. They aren't perfect but they add a nice touch and I really wanted to "wow" the user
- it's also fun being able to see the original box and it's content on the front and back.
Here's a few good examples:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=3387 - Genesis Box (these were the hardest)
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=9066 - Nintendo 64
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=10643 - Game Boy Advance
You can rotate the 3D models, view the back, view the front and there's also an 'Enlarge Box' button which gives you a bigger view. Scroll down about half way down almost any game page, you'll see the 3D models on the right.
Some systems are missing boxart graphics while others need better resolution box graphics. I'm looking to hire a few people willing to help me add boxart graphics. Anyone interested, please reply to this thread:

Turns out some of the games weren't working after the transfer and some people were unable to load or save their games. This should be fixed but if not, please report any other problems that you might be having that has come up after the server transfer a few days ago in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=11194
The server migration took longer than expected (full details here) but everything is finished being transferred and we are of course on the new server
The new server is over twice as powerful which means that the site will be able to handle over doubled the traffic, we shouldn't have to upgrade again for the rest of the year. Also the new server has file mirroring which greatly reduces the chances of files getting corrupted such as your save files. And the other big change is that the disk space of the new server is over doubled which means I've got more space to add more games in the future.
Thanks for everyones patience during the transfer. I know I had originally said it'd only take 12 hours but ended up taking 36 hours.
If anyone notices any problems that may have been caused from the transfer, please report them ASAP in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=11155
Any time between now and Thursday there will be some down time, possibly up to 12 hours. No data will be loss.
Vizzed is migrating to a more powerful server which will be literally over twice as powerful. The reason for this migration is that the Vizzed traffic is expected to increase rapidly during the next few months and since the CPU usage is already getting near 90% during peak hours, now is the best time to do the migration.
Any questions, please post them here:

Well as you can all see, the New Board Experience has launched!
If for some reason you're still seeing old graphics, simply press Ctrl + F5, because you're browser is probably caching the old graphics. You may need to do this for multiple pages.
What's new on the New Experience?
-Chat Bar
At the bottom of every page, you'll see a chat bar which lets you chat with your friends, tells you which friends are online and also lets you either create or enter a user created chat room and chat with others (this is based on the cometchat plugin I purchased but spent an entire day alone modifying and working on). You can disable the plugin in the edit profile page, or you can simply make it so that it appears on the index only.
-All new graphics and scheme
Completely updated graphics and a new design which makes navigating the site easier and quicker
-Friends list
You can add users to your friends list but either going to the Control Panel and than to Friends List, or you can add them from their profile
-Status Bar
Below the banner you will see a status bar which now shows who is also on that page for every single page
-You now get 100 Viz for coming to vizzed board each day (before it was 50)
-Help Links
This isn't finished yet but I plan to make terminology that users are unfamiliar with clickable links (as you can see, the word 'viz' is a clickable link in most areas which now takes you to a page telling you how to earn it and what it is
-Optimization
Many pages have been optimized so that they put less strain on the server and also make the page load faster
-About Us page
Gives detailed information about vizzed from general information, credits, privacy policy, disclaimer and some history
-Updated Index
Gives a little more information, has a google search and also encourages users to bookmark the page
-Viz Center
Gives you your referral link (like before) but also shows your Viz count, has a donation button and has a link you can click for more information
-Etc
Please report any problems you may have with the new experience in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=10717
but PLEASE be specific and detailed. It's not quite finished but I figured it was far enough along to go live.
All you have to do is place your referral link on any website or email it to anyone and you'll earn Viz!
Post your referral link on any website, your facebook / myspace / twitter profile, email it to people, post it on youtube, post it in your signature or bio of another message board, etc... or tell your friends about (if your friend signs up without a referral link, on the registration page they can choose your username as the person who referred them and you'll still get credit).
You can find your referral link near the top of every page directly above the message center. The referral link takes the person to the same page you got your referral link on.
Here's how much Viz you get from referrals:
-For every person with a unique IP who visits your referral link, you earn 100 Viz
-If a person you referred registers, you earn an additional 400 Viz
-If the user you referred makes a post, you earn an additional 500 Viz
-You also earn 5 Viz for every single post the person makes that you referred
You can see a list of all the people who you referred that signed up by going to your profile; you'll also receive a notification.
BONUS PROMOTIONAL OFFER - Earn $ Cash $
US $10 - If you refer at least 25 people to the site who sign up, you will be awarded $10 Cash
US $25 - If you refer at least 50 people to the site who sign up, you will be awarded $25 Cash
(remember, this is in USA currency)
Promotional Offer Rules:
-Only users who sign up using unique IPs count. So in other words, users who sign up using your IP or at your location do not count.
-The money will be paid either thru Paypal or I can order something online for you equivelant to the payout (which includes the shipping cost)
-You can choose to have extra Viz instead of Cash. $10 payout would become 10,000 Viz and $25 payout would become 25,000 Viz
-The most each individual user can earn is $25
-This offer is good until July 1st, 2010 or until I've paid out a total of $100, which ever comes first
-All the Viz you earn is automated but to get the Cash payout, you MUST PM me once you've referred the number of users for a cash payout
I've spent the past few days implementing lots of features which will ultimately make the vizzed board experience even better!
New Features Include:
Modified Message Center
This area contains your Private Messages, your Notifications, and the Announcements. These things also appear on all pages now so that users will know when they get PM's, get notifications and now people will actually know when an announcement is made.
Notifications
When someone replies to a thread you made, you will receive a Notification. If you haven't read your notifications, it will only notify you once per a thread so therefore it wont notify you again if additional replies have been made to a thread that you've posted (until you've read your notifications). When you go to the notifications page, it automatically marks all notifications as read.
Things that you get notified on:
-Replies to threads you made
-When someone signs up and refers to you
-When someone posts a comment on your profile
-When someone stickies, unstickies, opens or closes one of your threads (and it tells you who did it)
-When someone moves one of your threads (and it tells you who did it and where it got moved to)
-Additional notifications to come (so request some suggestions and if it's good, it'll be a notification)
Modified Announcements
Announcements will now appear on all pages and will let you know when a New Announcement has been made. Going to the Announcements page marks all Announcements as read.
Modified Referral System (remember, referring users earns you lots of viz)
Your referral code is still on the index but now when a user clicks it, not only does it take them to the index of the site but it lets them navigate the site all they want and when they're ready to register, it'll still set you as the referrer. The way it worked before was dumb, basically you gave someone a link which took the user to the register page and if they didn't register using that exact link, you didn't get the referral; this is not the case anymore.
Also, if someone registers that you referred but didn't use your referral link, when they're signing up, they can type in the username of the person who referred them (and it has a drop down box that auto populates with the correct spelling of all the usernames on the board).
You can discuss these feautures here to give me feedback:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=9611

As many of you have noticed since yesterday new threads and replies were not working. All posts that you made during this time are lost and cannot be recovered.
This is mainly due to a server upgrade for increased RAM which somehow was able to glitch the database.
David has repaired the database so everything should work fine now.
We have just added another new feature this week: Automark Threads Read!
This feature basically marks a thread as read when you view the thread for those who don't know the point of it.
Believe it or not I don't think this feature ever worked as long as I've been here (4+ years). It was also a feature DM has been requesting for just as long as I've been a member. Glad it is finally up!
Enjoy it
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
We have just added 3 new features:
1. User Profile Comments
2. Edit Profile User Pic & Minipic Uploads
3. Picture Attachments on New Threads & Replies
Enjoy
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
We have just added a new feature: Block PM's From Certain Users!
To block a user from sending you PM's simply go the users profile you wish to block PM's from and click on the 'Block PM's' button at the very bottom of the page. To unblock PM's from a user do the exact same thing. If you blocked a users PM's then the 'Block PM's' button will say 'Unblock PM's'.
So if someone is annoying you or being rude, just block them
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
We have just added a new feature: Sending Viz by user profiles!
*You will not be able to send Viz if you are not logged in or if you are viewing your own profile.
To send Viz simply go the users profile you wish to send Viz to and it will appear above the users post layout. If you don't know what or where that is then scroll down to the bottom of their page and you will see it
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
First I would like to say that we are currently in the process of patching this hole....
Someone SQL injected and showed us a pretty little picture. So with that being said, please change your password to something that you don't use on other sites. That is a good practice to us everywhere though.
The staff members and I will let you know when we get everything patches.
Please note: Every site is vulnerable and securing it isn't an instant thing, people find exploits on websites all the time. I will be going through files and patching things as needed.
Thanks,
The Staff.
Some things that have bugging the hell out of me is inactive/banned/people who dont post showing up everywhere. I took the liberty to edit a few files.
You will notice we dont have a billion birthday on the index page thats because you have to meet these qualifications...
Must have account above banned status
Account must have 10+ posts
And it has to be your birthday of course
//++
// ACS
//++
ACS has been altered too if you're banned then you do not show up on the ACS either.
I look forward to implementing a few more features, this should also help speed up the servers response with not having to grab a billion account that only play games.
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
First let me start by saying welcome, you are now a member of our Vizzed community and we're glad to have you....
But with being a member becomes responsibility, it's just like getting your license. It's a privilege not a right. With that being said if you tend to break the rules we take privileges away. (Sorry thats just how it goes)
We ask that you read this before continuing, consider yourself warned.
On behalf of the staff welcome and thanks.
This years Sausage Fest has been canceled, any questions refer to this thread

Hello Vizzed goers....
As you may have know development for Vizzed has slowed down quite a bit, but I'm just here to let you know that I am starting to develop again.
So I am going to request if you notice any errors that you please report them to -- ME --
As of right now, the features are secret. Sorry.
Enjoy!
Well surprisingly, this is something I fixed on my own
Apparently the table which is responsible for containing all the content of the posts had crashed (god knows how) so I repaired it. It only took me 4 hours to figure out that was the problem
As you can all see, there are some Errors throughout Vizzed Board. So far they are only in the threads and on the reply pages, but those are critical pages for them to be on since that prevents us from posting.
Anyway, I'm working on getting these errors fixed but currently have no idea in the world what is causing them. If anyone knows of a PHP expert that might know the problem, please show them the errors, I could use all the help I can get to get this problem fixed.
To keep in touch with eachother, you can PM eachother still and can also use the 'Shoutbox' to talk back and forth.
Hopefully Bigbob comes on soon, or even Randy.
Vizzed Board will be the Official forum for Get-Your-Rom.com just until Get-Your-Rom.com gets a new forum up. The previous forum on GYR had so many spam bots that we were pretty much forced to just close it down.
For reference purposes, the old forum is still up and can be viewed here: http://www.get-your-rom.com/forum/YaBB.pl
Those who were staff on that old forum can have their staff positions back on this forum, just be sure to register and PM me and I'll give you your position back.
Thanks.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's part of 1.42!?
You may be noticing some things may look differently and such and its supposed to! Because starting today things are getting coded/uploaded for the new board version.
Please do the following:
- Errors
- Things that dont look right
- Anything you feel should be reported
Report:
I feel that some of the things in this release will be so pwnage some of you will realize you never could do backflips until now.
Please report anything that you feel needs to be reported to me, or David, BB if im not online.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!
Just wanted to announce that the Arcade works again
Don't worry, nothing is missing it prolly just got moved. The header is getting cluttered and I got some pretty good ideas coming. Mark forums read is at the bottom of the forum. More to come soon!
Edit layout should work perfectly fine now, let me know if you come accross any problems.
Thanks for waiting patiently, Randy.
Editlayout.php is currently broken, please standby as we fix this issue.
We will update you once this has been fixed.
Just a note that some powerlevels appear to be messed up, this will be fixed soon.

SideBoard 2 will contain anything to do with Flash and Game Development.
SideBoard 4 will be anything related to vizzed.com, such as arcade discussion, forum help, etc.
I made a system change that will benefit the board and its members. Doing thus changed the path of the cookies, so you made need to login.
Thanks,

This is teh official start of dragon master month. Thi9s will be like 30 dragon masters days in a row... so you should worship him now.
You can apply to be a staff member. To see the qualifications and the application go
Here
This is an offer to ANYONE!
Ok, I'm willing to pay anyone $5 (US 5 dollars) for each and EVERY member that you bring that becomes active (and not thru spamming; can't be of the same ip location either).
I dont care how you get the members to the board (it can be a friend, someone you found in a chat room, advertisement on a different board, etc), but all they gotta do is become active (or atleast get 25-50 posts), and it can't be spam! As soon as they've reached that amount of posts, I will add $5 to the amount of money I owe you.
If you bring 2 members who become "active", than I owe you $10. If you bring 10, than I owe you $50! There's no limit to how many you can bring, I'm capable of paying out as many as you can bring. All I need is some sort of proof that you brought the member; either they should refer to you, or mention in their newbie thread.
Also note, I will be sending the money out in November! So, I will tally up how much I owe each person, and than send them their money sometime in November. You can specify how you'll want to receive the money. Paypal or money order thru the mail. ALSO, if you earn enough money for somethin that you'd like for me to order on the internet for you (with my credit card), I will order anything you'd like, as long as the price of it is equal to or less than the money I owe you (including shipping).
Most importantly, PM me who you brought, before and after they become "active".
The game show has begun. Those of you who remember the last game show 'Surviving Fanisters Island' will understand how this one will go.

Sorry for being late on this I finally figured out the problem and this is now fixed.
So yay!
More updates to come later.
Also if everyone could say thank you to BigBob and Syntax for working hard on the arcade that would be great.
Thanks everyone for being such loyal and great members.
Well, after being nagged and around 1500 lines of code AR 1.0 is complete. And it is currently being integrated into the board, hope you enjoy.
If you find any bugs post them here. You might be missing some newer ones but these are the ones from before the boards upgrade. Also, user ratings are back in place.
Sorry for the inconveinience.
Do not Send PM's, they dont work properly. If you PM someone, the PM will be sent to someone else, NOT the person your PM'ing.
Not sure how long this will be a problem, but hopefully no later than a week.
The board will be upgrading to 1.A2-AR.73. Any questions/comments/ideas/concerns can be addressed here. The board could have a few things to be fixed but dont expect it to be a big deal.
Ok, me and MichaelVash have closed EVERY thread that is to old to be bumped. This means, you guys can reply to ANY thread that is open, just as long as you stay to the topic.
This makes things waaaay easier and keeps things under control.
Hopefully at the beggining of every season, we will close all the threads that can't be bumped.
Ever felt the need to be a bigger part of Vizzed Board? Ever felt that you were put on this planet to have your very own forum on Vizzed Board?
Well here's your chance. For only 2000 Viz, you can own your VERY OWN Forum on Vizzed Board!

The Vizzed Official Battle Rules are finally up and Official!
Here are the rules
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=758
And here's a sample battle
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=723
Incase you dont know, the battles will take place in the forum titled "Vizzed Battle Arena"
The Rules are a bit long, but it's pretty simple to understand. ALSO, I'm looking to hire another ref or 2...anyone is capable of being a referee. John and MichaelVash are currently the only refs. You must understand ALL the rules to be a ref. The ref thread is here...
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=759
I'd like to see some battles getting started!
Also, I plan to start a battle tournament...if enough people are interested.
We have a new Item Shop!!! The link is at the top of the page to the right corner underneath the time...and can also be accessed here
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/store.php
If you’re all wondering why I haven't been active lately, this is why...
Every Single user has his or her own stats. You can look into your profile or into the item shop to see your stats. Every time you level up, your stats go up (your level goes up by posting and is also based off your registration date).
Buying items ALSO raise your stats. In the shop you'll see that every item (except accessories) raises your stats in some sort of way. Currently there are no Side-Kicks in the shop yet, they will be added at a later time. The items you own can be viewed in your profile and in the shop.
The new item shop was designed by me and Syntax Legend, and mostly coded by him. I payed him $35 to do so, and he did a very nice job!
There's also a big batch load of new items... 8 New Weapons, 5 new shields, 8 new items in armor shop, 5 new helmets, 3 new boots, and 2 new accessories.
AS ALWAYS, EVERY item and their image were created by me, as with their descr
Many many hours were spent adding these items to the shop. I had to do allot of research for many of the items and I had to design formulas so that the prices and stats were all balanced out.
The Viz Transfer works differently now. It's a drop down box, and you select a user from that menu. ALSO, when you Send Viz to a User, it will send Him/her a PM letting him/her know how much Viz they received and who they are receiving it from.
Links at the top of the page have been moved around slightly. Item Shop link is below time, MAIN link is below Views, New posts link has been added along with search and downloads link. Also, the board's banner is now a clickable link which leads to the main page of the board.
I am almost completely done with the Official Battle Rules for the battle arena. The battles will be using the stats from the items and also some of the descr
Last note, if anyone has ANY comments, suggestions or question on the item shop, PM ME! And if there are any other items you'd like to see, I will see if I'm capable of drawing it if it interests me.
(note, I do not plan to put items made by other people, all items in the item shop will always be created only by me).
You can now sell your items once again.
I will be updating the links at the top within a few days, as soon as I decide which links I want at the top and as soon as I get the itemshop updated a little more.
DO NOT SELL ANY ITEMS IN THE ITEM SHOP!
You can buy Items still, but DO NOT SELL THEM.
What will happen is, you'll lose almost ALL of your Viz!!
I will figure a way to get this fixed ASAP.
Here we have it, the new vizzed board.

Site Announcements
Hello everyone, and welcome to April 2025 SPREE DAY! Let's come together as a community and go on a posting spree together!
In order to provide more places to post, some previously closed threads have been reopened over the past week. Be sure to take a look through the forums (beyond the "New Posts" page) to see what's open!
To make this Spree Day extra special, and to add a bit of an incentive, myself, supercool22, and zanderlex have put together some prizes and rewards that can be earned by posting.
Even though it's a Tour de Vizzed month, today should be about working together, NOT about competing against one another. We should be aiming to reach a high post total as a community, rather than aiming to make more posts as individuals than other users. You'll notice that none of the prizes or rewards depend on your post total relative to others. Instead, they are about how much you contribute to the community, and about how much the community accomplishes as a whole.
For more information on prizes, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=105730
I am hosting a "Spree Day" tomorrow, April 18th. The objective is to have as many people as possible go on a posting spree together. It will be fun, and it will give Vizzed Board a nice little boost in activity.
There will be rewards available for those that participate, including Viz, Steam games, shiny Pokemon, and a surprise reward that I will reveal tomorrow.
I will make a thread and a second announcement at 12:00 am central time tomorrow with more information about how to earn these prizes.
Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions. I hope to see you all in the forums tomorrow!

The issues where the site will be really slow at loading or not load at all has been mostly resolved. It was related to the excessive bot traffic. We're still getting a lot of bot traffic but I've installed some things and configured various settings on the server to handle some of it.

Many CD Games Removed
I've removed most of the CD games from the website due to not being able to afford hosting them. For the past year, I've been taking a $400 loss on this website per a month, but now with the removal of the CD games, I should be able to get that down to $150. Still not great, but an improvement. My goal is to eventually break even.
I did keep the most popular games for the CD systems. In most cases, I kept the top 5-10%. Here's a breakdown of how many games we now have for each CD system:
3DO = 6
CDi = 18
Dreamcast = 49
PCFX = 5
PlayStation = 100
Sega CD = 25
Sega Saturn = 43
TurboGrafx CD = 40
I originally thought I'd have to remove many MAME games, but I was able to fit them all on the new server.
My wife has been pretty upset with me that this site has had a negative margin of $5000 in the past year. It's been more than 2 years now since this site was profitable. I've been trying to find solutions to keep this site alive, and I'll continue to do so. Hosting terabytes worth of games is costly, which is why the biggest games had to be removed. Removing the Retro Game Room is still not something I want to consider because I think that's the only thing that keeps this site alive. There's a lot of behind the scenes sacrifice I have to make for this site I usually don't talk about, and this definitely would be one of them.
I'm willing to add a few CD games back to the site based on requests. So if anyone has recommendations of games, feel free to suggest them in the below thread and I may get them added back.
Some DS Games Added
The removal of 3000+ CD games is a big loss for the site, so to make it up to everyone, I've added some DS games. At the moment there are 15 DS games, and I'm willing to add more. In fact, I'm willing to add up to 50 DS games total. Just keep in mind that I'm not allowed to have any DS games that Nintendo developed.
You can find the DS games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/play-ds/
If you want to see certain DS games added that you think would be popular and that aren't 1st party Nintendo games, go ahead and make your suggestions in the below thread.
Questions or Feedback
Post them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=105666
I've updated the version of EmulatorJS that the site is using to the latest version. The version we had been using was outdated by about 2 years, and the emulator has had a ton of updates since.
For those of you unfamiliar with EmulatorJS, it's currently the best non-plugin option for playing games in the Retro Game Room and it supports most of the games, including many of the CD systems.
Things worth pointing out:
-Overall compatibility is greatly increased
-Games should play a lot better
-There are a ton of new features like rewind
-There's a ton of customization options now
-There are a lot more options in the menus
-The latest version lets you choose between different emulators for a game (be sure to close the page and open it up again for it to work)
Commodore 64 was made available with EmulatorJS with this update. There are also a lot of other systems that EmulatorJS supports that Vizzed doesn't currently have, but we could get them added in the future (anything that isn't CD based, since we don't have space for that).
The EmulatorJS netplay isn't working yet, but I'll work on getting that taken care of and updated soon.
I should also point out that EmulatorJS had been having issues working for some people for a few months now. This issue should be completely resolved.

2024 was definitely the least active I've ever been on the site, and I apologize for that. Life and work outside of the site got busy, and I struggled with my ambition and focus on the site and with my job as a Software Engineer. I think a lot of it stems from my inability to sleep well getting worst over the past year, possibly related to my stressful job. I really wanted to put together a tribute video for the 20 year anniversary but a combination of not having time and not wanting to be on the computer after being on the computer all day at work really destroyed that project.
A big thing that did take place for the site in 2024 was the server migration which resulted into the site being significantly faster and no longer having various issues that it was having over the past year. The server migration was actually pretty time consuming and technically isn't done (I took a long break from it).
You can find all of the awards and additional information here
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=105577
Vizzed Board turns 20 years old on December 6th, so you guys have about 2 weeks to vote for whoever you think deserves any of the awards below. Voting will end on December 5th and the awards will be given out on December 6th. There are 25 awards you can vote on, 20 user awards and 5 thread/post awards.
You can cast your votes here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=105573
I'm going to be doing a server migration over the next few days. The site will be down on and off during this time.
Anything uploaded to the site after this post was made will be lost during the transfer. Content submitted to the site (posts, reviews, user accounts, etc) will not be lost. Just files will be lost during this time (like screenshots).
There are 2 reasons for the migration:
1. The site hasn't been paying for itself in quite a few months. The site fees are $450+ month, the site revenue is less than $100 a month. I'm consolidating all of the servers into a single server, and while that server is still expensive (around $260), it's a lot cheaper than the $450. The current servers include the site sever, netplay server, minecraft server, and file server.
Unfortunately, new server will not be able to contain all of the games from the Retro Game Room, as it's only a 2 TB hard drive. It'll be able to contain all of the music and cartridge based games, but the CD based games will be too large, which means most of those games will be taken down. I'll take the top 10% most popular games from each of the CD systems and those are what I'll keep.
2. The current server software is very outdated and can't be updated. Having better hardware/software will allow me to do things with the server that I've never been able to do. It also gives me the power to improve the site performance by utilizing features that prevent bot abuse.
I should also point out that the new server is 2x more powerful than the current main server, which is crazy because they're about the same price.
With all of that said, the site will perform a lot better after the migrations. I've already purchased and setup the new server, all of the files have already been migrated. The things I have left to do include:
1. Configuring the new server to match the configuration of the current
2. Figuring out what things I need to install on the new server so that nothing stops working
3. Transferring the database
4. Pointing the domain name to the new server

Vizzed MC 10 Year Anniversary on April 18th
The 10 year anniversary of the Vizzed.co Minecraft server is coming up on April 18th. We plan to host a few Minecraft events on that server on that day and possibly on days around that date as well. There are no set plans yet on what we'll be doing for the events, so if anyone has any ideas, feel free to let us know (even if it required installing new plugins, I'm willing to do that). I took off work and will be spending a lot of the day on the Vizzed MC server.
For those who don't know, you can connect to the Vizzed Minecraft server with this IP:

2023 was definitely a lower point for Vizzed. Traffic wasn't terrible, but my IT position kept me so stressed and busy throughout the year, it resulted into me being unable to invest the time into the site that I had planned. The only 2 notable updates to the site included:
-New Post Editor, which is still somewhat in development.
-Implemented Various Security and other various optimizations to the site's code.
Vizzed.com turned 20 years old earlier this year. I might still find time to make a 20 year anniversary video before the month ends, but unlikely at this point.
A lot of veterans returned to the site in 2023, which was very exciting to see. It gives me a lot of hope for 2024. Something that also excites me for 2024 is that my work schedule will be more flexible. I'll be allowed to work from home again (1 day a week) and I'll be allowed to adjust my hours so that I can work 4 days a week at my job, giving me 1 day a week where I can focus on Vizzed. For those who don't know, my weekends are set aside for my family, and after a long day of mentally exhausting programming, I don't have the brain capacity of motivation to work on Vizzed after I get home from work, so usually the only time I work on Vizzed is when I take days off (from time to time I'll do things after work or on the weekend, but it's not common).
Next year will be the 20th anniversary of Vizzed Board, and also the 10 year anniversary of the Minecraft Server. I have something special planned for both events

The RGR Plugin 2022+.msi file that we released a year ago is no longer valid. This is because the SSL certificate associated with that installer expired and I messed up a few things when I went to renew it. This is why the games in the Retro Game Room stopped working about a month ago.
We have a new installer which you can get here:
RGR Plugin 2023+.msi
You will have to uninstall the RGR Plugin 2022+ on your computer before installing that, if you have the RGR Plugin 2022+.msi installed.
To uninstall it:
- Go to Add or remove programs, which you can access by typing into your Windows search bar.
- Find RGR Plugin 2022+.msi from the list and uninstall it.
- Then go ahead and install the new RGR Plugin 2023+.msi.
For more thorough instructions on the installation process, go to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=104450
I'm hoping we wont need to have another update next year.
I want to give a HUGE thanks to supercool22 and pokemon x for their recent donations, which helped pay for this new installer.

Hey everyone, we are looking for opinions on Tour de Vizzed rules.
Can be anywhere from less strict rules to new rules.
Please refer to the thread below.

The RGR Plugin is currently unavailable due to SSL renewal issues. It should hopefully be back up sometime between Saturday and Monday (8/5 - 8/7).
pokemon x discovered a temporary solution:
Step 1- Go here https://rgrplugin.vizzed.com:2761/
Step 2- Proceed to page despite warning if it says something about Security Certificate is expired accept anyways.
Step 3- Close page and go back to a game and it should now work again.

Vizzed.com domain turned 20 years old this month! I actually wasn't even old enough to buy the domain 20 years ago. Jake-A-Roonie bought it for me, and then the following year I turned 18 and got a debit card so that I could start paying for it.
Vizzed.com was founded 1 1/2 years before this version of the site was created, and it was founded roughly 1 year after the first Vizzed Board came to life. So the history of Vizzed has a lot of different milestones and anniversaries, but this is probably one of the biggest. Not many sites or domains last this long on the internet. It's incredible that I've been able to have a community that continues to use the site, even after all these years.
I'm still working on putting together a YouTube video. Not sure when that'll be done, maybe in a few weeks. Either way, it'll still be released before the year ends, so it'll still come out during the anniversary year (just not the year and month).
Thank you everyone for being a part of the history of Vizzed.com

I've implemented some extra security to the site. A hacker discovered a few exploits 2 months ago, and was kind enough to show me what the exploits were, and how to fix them. If you're reading this hacker, thanks again, and feel free to email me or contact me if you notice anything else.
If anyone notices any issues with the site that started occurring after this update, please let me know ASAP so that I can fix it.
Securing the Inputs
I've updated the scr
Securing the Passwords
I've updated the site's password encryption. The old was very outdated. The new one makes it so much more difficult to crack a user's password.
NOTE: User passwords will only use the new encryption after a user changes their password (and for new users). So, I highly recommend everyone update their Vizzed password at some point, if you want to ensure your account is more secure. I'll eventually make an alert that reminds each user to change their password.
HTML Cleaner
I'm utilizing HTMLPurifier for most input that involves HTML. This analyzes any HTML that gets submitted to the site, removes anything that might be potentially malicious, and also fixes the HTML if there's anything broken. Inputs that would utilize this include Posts, various profile editing, etc.
This also allowed me to eliminate the z tags that sometimes get placed into various thread titles, posts and other sections of the site.

Here's how this works
Respond to this thread with up to 2 users you think would do a great job. The more users you choose, the less weight your votes have. So if you feel really strongly about someone, then vote for just 1 user.
Here's what determines the weight of your vote
The weight of a vote depends on the user and how many votes that user makes. Users who have a high rank, been around for a long time, and have a high post count, will have a vote with more weight. This is fair because those users should have a bigger impact on the results since they're more familiar with the community and have a higher reputation compared to someone who just registered with the single purpose of altering the results.
Here's the formula for figuring out the weight of your vote:
User Level * Power Level
And if you have multiple votes, it'd look like this:
(User Level * Power Level) / Vote Count
The User Levels can be viewed from their profile and also next to their posts to the left. A User Level is based on how long a user has been here and how many posts they have.
Here's the numbers that represent each Power Level:
0 = Newbie
1 = Normal
2 = Trusted
3 = Elite
4 = Site Staff
5 = Local Mod
6 = Global Mod
Rules
-Can't vote for yourself
-Can't vote for more than 2 people
-Posts with negative ratings will be investigated and potentially ignored
Voting ends on Monday, January 2nd.

2022 saw a pretty big decline in my activity due to various health problems I've experienced over the past year, and also due to my IT job consuming a lot of my time and mind. In order to get a lot accomplished on the site, I pretty much had to take time off from work. 2022 was the least active I've been in over 15 years
With that being said, I did accomplish a few things, which includes:
-Launched an RGR Plugin
-
-Began Development on a New RGR Experience for mobile devices and game consoles, which will hopefully launch in January of 2023
-Introduced EmulatorJS (browser emulation) to the RGR, which supports more systems, supports netplay, and works better for some people for some game systems
-Fixed various bugs and issues throughout the site
Although this site is turning 18 years old, Vizzed has been around a lot longer. There were 2 previous Vizzed Boards, the first starting in late 2002. But the anniversary that I find more significant, which is coming in just a few months, is the 20 year anniversary of Vizzed.com! Vizzed.com was founded on March 3rd, 2003. I plan to put together an anniversary video of some sort, similar to this one, but with more emphasis on the site itself, and with more stats and graphs, and maybe with more of a narrative. If anyone is interested in making a cameo in that video, be sure to let me know

Vizzed Board turns 18 years old on December 6th, so you guys have a little more than 2 weeks to vote for whoever you think deserves any of the awards below.

You can now use the RGR Plugin again as you could in the past. All you need to do is download this new installer (RGR Plugin 2022+
Instructions
The RGR Plugin is no longer supported with modern browsers, so that's why you need to install both the RGR Plugin and the RGR Plugin 2022+
1. Download and Install the RGR Plugin
If you don't already have it installed, download and install it:
VizzedRgrPlugin-2.41.msi
2. Download and Install the RGR Plugin 2022+
After you've installed the RGR Plugin, download and install this:
RGR Plugin 2022+.msi
Note: The installer might get flagged for not being secure, and that's only because it's new and hasn't been installed on many computers yet, so it might give a warning due to not having any information about it. If a windows security window comes up, just click More Info and from there, you can choose to install it anyway.
Note 2: Do not
3. Restart Your Computer
You'll need to restart your computer after you've installed the RGR Plugin and RGR Plugin 2022
That's it! Go and enjoy playing any of the 40,000+ retro games in the Retro Game Room. All of the RGR Plugin related features should work.
I apologize that it took so long to get this
I also want to thank everyone that donated toward this 1 1/2 years ago. There was a lot of financial support, and I couldn't have been more grateful for all of that
If you have any questions or feedback, post them here:

For the past few days, there was an SSL issue with playing some games for some browsers. This issue is resolved.

Competition
Build the best "anything" in the Clohygeous. The portal to the world can be found in the hub. Everyone has full Creative powers and flying abilities in that world. You can present your submission in the form of a video (which you should upload to YouTube) or screenshots (which you may upload to Vizzed).
Vizzed Minecraft Server IP:
Vizzed.co
Rules
-Up to 5 submissions per a user (this also includes structures you've teamed up on)
-Minecraft Staff may compete and I may compete
-Please separate your submissions with 1 submission per a post
-You may work with others on a submission (you'll then split the earnings)
-No command blocks
-When showing off your submission, you cannot use any resource packs (but you may use shaders)
Prizes
1st = US $50 or 100K Viz
2nd = US $25 or 50K Viz
3rd = 25K Viz
If me or one of my kids win, who may also compete, then the cash prizes would be awarded to the people who took 2nd and 3rd place. In other words, no matter what, I'll be handing out $75 worth of prizes to Vizzed users that are not me or my kids (unless those Vizzed users choose Viz instead of a cash prize).
Additional Prizes
Minecraft Competition Winners will get a trophy added to their profile (which they'll eventually be able to display and show off), they'll get added to the Hall of Fame page and they'll also have a Minecraft Trophy icon next to their name until the next Minecraft competition (as a way to show that they're the reigning champion).
Tips
-To increase your chances of winning, do a video instead of screenshots.
-Show a before and after so that people can see how much you did.
-Claim your land so that no one else can modify your creation.

My development time is very limited these days, so I figured this might be a good opportunity to open up the doors for a few users with PHP skills to help develop stuff for Vizzed. Users will be given limited access to the site functions and variables, but they'd be free to create mostly whatever they want.
You would do your coding right here on the site and I'd even give you your own database. Here's a preview of what the PHP Developer Center looks like
Please note, you would not get paid for doing this. This is just for users who want to help out the site or want to utilize / expand their PHP skills. You wouldn't get access to the actual site's code, but you would get access to a lot of useful variables. You also wouldn't get access to the site's main database but you'd be given your own database. These restrictions are to prevent any accidental or intentional harm to the site.
Features include:
-Access to over 30 variables, which include name of the logged in user, details of the logged in user, page information, and more!
-Supports Javascr
-The ability to collaborate with other "qualified" users
-Full customization over your pages, including the ability to change the page name, descr
-Full stats about your pages, including page views, who viewed it, full logs, who is currently on it, etc.
-Earn Viz and CP when your pages are used
-Your own database
-And lots more
Requirements:
-Must be an Elite Users or a Trusted User who has been on the site for over 5 years and has at least 1000 posts
-Must have decent PHP skills (please provide examples of things you've done)
-Tell me what ideas you might have and why you would like to be a PHP developer on Vizzed
There's a limited number of users that I'm willing to promote to PHP Developer, so be sure to apply right away if you're interested.

Something I've wanted to do for a while now is change the color scheme of the site. Keep in mind, I'm not talking about the layout of the site, that'd be too much work. I'm talking about the colors used throughout the site and the background images.
I've made attempts in the past to modernize the look of the site but I've always had users fight back. I think now is the time to do it though since the site needs to have a more visual appeal to new people. The current theme would always be available as a
As far as the color scheme goes, what are complaints that you or others might have about it? What are you suggestions? I know a common complaint is that the site is sometimes hard on a user's eyes and I'm not sure if it's because it's light on dark or if it's the greens contrasting with the blues. Either way, any feedback would be great.
Here's something I've been working on. Let me know if this is any better or if you have any suggestions to it:
Vizzed 2022 Theme
With that new theme, the background color is actually not part of the background image, allowing me to easily change the color (or perhaps dynamically, similar to what was seen in the 2022 April Fools prank).

Vizzed went down over 2 days ago for unplanned reasons. I had contacted Hostgator and they said it would take up to 48 hours for the server to be brought back online. Here's what they had to say:
"It would appear that your server encountered an issue when it was rebooted due to the newest kernel installed being corrupt. I was able to get the server back online by booting into the older kernel installed on the server, then reinstalling the new kernel.
The server is now running and the services all appear to be running with out any issues. This issue you encountered is not a common thing, and just a random failures that can happen rarely."

2021 has been a decent year for Vizzed as far as traffic goes. Vizzed has had a 20% traffic increase in the past year.
And even though my activity dropped in the final months of 2021 on the site (due to me getting an IT job), I managed to fix quite a few bugs and issues throughout the site and even

Something else that happened in 2021, which was an unexpected surprise, was the resurgence of the Vizzed.co Minecraft Server. Somehow the MC Server saw periods of high activity throughout the year, almost matching the prime days of the MC server. HUGE thanks to the MC Staff for helping take care of the increase MC traffic.
So I’ve been MIA in the past 4 months due to my IT job, as mentioned already. However, I’m slowly getting back more free time as the high demand of my job slowly decreases. I’ve been averaging 50 hours a week at my job, sometimes a little over 60 hours a week, but I’m slowly taking that down to around 45 hours a week.
I’m hoping to make 2022 the year of tournaments, events, competitions, etc. I’ll be streaming again with users and also putting together community based YouTube videos. Maybe we’ll see the return of past events, we’ll definitely see the return of real prizes, and if all goes well, we’ll get plenty of participation.
You can find all of the awards and additional information here

The factory I've been working at for the past nearly 5 years recently opened up a couple of IT positions and I got one, and I start this week. I had only ever planned on being at this place for a year since that's how long I thought it'd take for the site to pick back up enough for me to generate a full time income from the site again. That of course never happened and 4+ years later I'm still at the same place. More recently I was doing some job searching and considering just pursuing a career that wasn't Vizzed and not long after this place opened up those 2 IT positions, which is something I was hoping they'd do for as long as I've been there.
The place I work at is in town and I've been working weekend shifts this entire time. This allowed me to focus on Vizzed during the weekend and also allowed me to be at home with my kids while they're home schooled or out of school during summer break (I'll be sending them back to public school most likely though). I've got a lot of anxiety in general and driving into an over populated city, which is where all the jobs are nearby (Twin Cities to be exact), just wasn't something I wanted to do so it's awesome that I'll be able to finally be utilized where I work.
The reason they finally opened up IT positions was because a company bought out the company I work for and so the IT guys from the company that previous owned us left and now the new company needs a new team. It's a Taiwanese company and our place makes circuit boards and this is their first factory in the US. They basically want a fresh start on everything and this gives me the opportunity to bring to life all of the ideas and visions I had for the place (those ideas being shot down in the past due to me not having a title worthy to do such tasks). I'll basically be in charge of everything software related. It's going to offer me a lot of opportunity to not only utilize and keep fresh the skills I have but also allow me to further develop those skills.
Anyways, here's how this affects Vizzed. I'll be working more hours than before and I'll also be working primarily during the week. I haven't had weekends off with my family in almost 5 years so I'm excited to have that with them. Because of this, I'll be doing very little development during the weekend and I'll be doing very little development during the week. They're going to allow me to have a very flexible schedule so I'm going to try and have it so that I have 1 day off during the week with that day being the day I work on Vizzed, which will hopefully be Mondays.
In other words, I'll be spending and investing less time on the site. Earlier in the year I was averaging around 25-30 hours on the site, lately I've been investing on average of 20 hours. Now I'll probably be investing 10 hours into the site so I have to make that time count (some weeks might be more). Thankfully I have an awesome staff so they'll definitely save me a lot of time which will help me focus on things that only I can take care of. If the site ever picks back up again, and enough to generate a full time income, I would for sure quit my job and focus primary on Vizzed again but until that happens, I'll have to just deal with spending 10+ hours on the site a week.
There are 2 positives that come out of this at least.
I'll be obtaining skills potentially beneficial to the site which might give me an opportunity to do things on the site or for the site that I wasn't capable of before (you know, maybe I'll develop the skills to make my own RGR Plugin or to be able to work on the current).
The other positive (kind of 2 actually) is that I'll be making more money at my job and this means I'll have a budget to host competitions again with cash prizes (not as big of a budget as in the past but a budget none the less). I eventually stopped hosting competitions due to the lack of participation and the lack of participation was a combination of less traffic on the site (and therefore less interest) and no longer having the budget for cash prizes. So I'll definitely be hosting competitions more often. Having a budget again also means I can invest money into various scr

Since I've been doing SEO lately, it caused a surge in bot traffic. That bot traffic overwhelmed my logging system which caused some pages of the site and some features to just not work. It took me a while to fix because it took me a while to figure out why parts of the site were suddenly not working. My previous announcement is also related to this same issue.

Some videos will have cash prizes for the first person to get all of the games named correctly (or the person to get the most named correctly when the answered are revealed).

Many of you wanted me to revive the Vizzed YouTube Channel and bring back video uploading. I'm working on the uploading part still but I've already invested many hours reorganizing the Vizzed Gameplay Videos Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/vizzed
The channel has nearly 15,000 videos so there was a lot to go through. I completely reorganized the front page of the channel. I plan to create a trailer for the channel in the upcoming weeks and I also plan to create a new banner. The channel also has nearly 15,000 subscribers which is far more than any of my other channels so I took the advice of a few users and decided to monetize the videos (should help me generate an extra US $200 a month that I can put toward the site).
I created a playlist for every game system that we had videos for and placed all of the videos into their proper game system playlist. This lets you navigate videos based on game system now. You should be able to find the game system playlists on the main page and you can also find them here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj85xyNqxw9INbLDfFI3Kqg/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=5
I also created a few extra "special" playlists.
Netplay
Some of my most memorable memories on this site involved netplay. I had so many amazing times streaming + netplaying with users. So I had to create a playlist with the videos showcasing the netplay on Vizzed (some have commentary and some are archived streams), which I've always viewed as being one of the most innovative features in the RGR:

Vizzed.co Minecraft Server
The Vizzed minecraft server has had a huge impact on so many users of this site. It was a community of its own and many of us recorded various events that took place on that server, specifically the many competitions I hosted. Although the server is still up, it's not nearly as popular as it was in its prime but having this content available can help put into perspective how awesome that community was at its prime, and maybe going through this will make some MC veterans want to come back on to the server:

Most of the Nintendo NES games didn't work with the HTML5 emulators. They worked fine with the RGR Plugin but more and more users are using the browser emulation, especially since the RGR Plugin requires a few extra steps to use now days.
NES was the first system to be added to the Retro Game Room (it was called the NES Game Room at that time) and that was 13+ years ago. The games that we used back then weren't the best copies of the games and better copies of the games have been made available on the internet since.
I spent almost a full day going through and fixing them all. I hated to have to prioritize this over all other things but it needed to be done. Most of them should now work fine but if they don't, be sure to let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=103691
EDIT: I should've pointed out how many NES games we have on vizzed: 3,447. And I fixed over 2000 of them! (keep in mind that not all of them were broke). Honestly, that was incredibly boring but I stayed pretty focused and did almost nothing else that entire time. Feels good to have that taken care of
Ever since starting a full time job outside of Vizzed nearly 5 years ago, I haven't been able to prioritize reading / responding to my Private Messages. Even before that, I often got behind on my PMs. So as you can imagine, I have years worth of PMs to read and respond to, totalling literally 1000s of PMs. I've usually made it a habit of skimming through my PM inbox and reading the PMs which have titles that seem important but sometimes I've even failed to do that.
While I'm going through my inbox, I will respond to any Private Messages that I receive during this process. My goal is to get caught up by summer 2021 (before it ends anyway). Afterward, I'll begin working on my Notifications. I hope to be caught up with everyone before the year ends. I feel terrible that it's taken me this long but I've been the only developer for many years and development related stuff is time consuming and things have come up so often over the years that I have no other choice but to prioritize coding. Life outside the internet also sometimes gets in the way with various life issues coming up from time to time. And with having a wife and kids, there's only so much time in a week to juggle all of these things (for example, I rarely game and haven't done much gaming in the past 6+ years due to just not having the time).

My Low Activity
A few weeks ago I injured my thumb and the surrounding area on my hand. This had made it difficult to use a computer and after seeing a doctor, avoiding video games and computers was necessary in order for it to heal faster.

My hand and thumb is making progress and I expect to increase my time on the site next week and should be back to normal the following week.

Tom is having some difficulties with the RGR Plugin. These delays are completely out of my control and I apologize for them.
Here's his latest message to me:
"Sorry I've been lagging. Still feeling overwhelmed. I've done some more work, but I'm worried I should change approach how I do the code.
I was going to use a program called Websockify to help get this all working, but I'm bummed it gets detected as a virus by AVG and probably other antivirus programs. The AVG popup lets you add an exception to allow it to work, but I worry to instruct your users to do this for all common antivirus software isn't acceptable and I need to do the code without Websockify. I'm thinking the code I have in mind will work decent enough, but it's polling based instead of event based and it may lag a little bit like with the loading progress bar.
What do you think? Is the antivirus exception rule unacceptable?"
I had replied and suggested that maybe we embed Firefox version 42 (specifically, the portable version) into the plugin so that when someone plays a game, the game opens up in a window within that version of Firefox since that version of Firefox supports NPAPI, one of the technologies that can help make the RGR Plugin work.
In the mean time, you guys can use FireFox Portable 42 to play the RGR Plugin. It requires no installation. You can get it here:

All games that had an apostrophe in their name (and probably other various special characters) didn't load at all. This issue has been fixed. I honestly didn't know of this until earlier today.
The other issue that has been fixed is the 'Play Game' button. Only half of it was clickable and in some cases, it wasn't clickable at all. This has also been fixed.
RetroArch
I added the 'GearBoy' core for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. It's nice having more cores available to choose from since different cores run better for different devices.
I also added the option to 'Play with Slow Device Settings' and to 'Play with Fast Device Settings'. Great for those who have a computer that's less powerful or more powerful than average.
EmulatorJS has
EmulatorJS has less ads (these are both hosted on external websites, not my own) and seems to play better on more devices (nes games work on Xbox One, more on that later).
Added 'Genesis Plus GX Wide' Core
I added a new core for Sega Genesis games that allow you to play the games in true wide screen. It plays the games 20% wider without stretching the screen by simply showing more of the game. It doesn't work very good with some games but for the ones that it does work with, they play great. I put together a video showcasing the new RetroArch core and how to use it on Vizzed:

Those types of things happen often when dealing with freelance developers online. They go into a job super ambitious, only to find out that they're not qualified or lack the motivation.

After hours of investigating, it should be possible to get the RGR Plugin
The RGR Plugin launched in 2010 and I've invested nearly $15,000 into the RGR Plugin. It'd be very depressing to see the plugin which revolutionized browser emulation come to an end. The RGR Plugin has been used by 100,000 of people worldwide, possibly even a million.

The RGR Plugin use to rely on NPAPI to play in the web browser but eventually NPAPI was discontinued by all internet browsers so that's why we started using Flash technology with the RGR Plugin. The Plugin still supports NPAPI though and if someone were to use an older outdated internet browser, they could still use the RGR Plugin. This is the only work around that I have until a better solution is found. More information on NPAPI and the browser versions that support it here:

I finally "mostly" finished the LEGO Home Alone house that I started building 3 years ago in LEGO Worlds. It became an annual tradition for me to invest 40+ hours into it every Christmas season. The Home Alone house is very complex (both the inside and out) and since the house has been greatly changed in the past 30 years, I couldn't rely on modern pictures or tours as a reference so I had to thoroughly analyze every scene from the movie.
This might be one of the most accurate replicas of the Home Alone house, or at least I couldn't find any on the internet more accurate. I recreated a few scenes from the movie to showcase the exterior and interior. Enjoy

I’m a day late at posting this. Yesterday was the 16 year anniversary of Vizzed Board but I wasn’t able to get to this due to a combination of being stuck at work all day (I do 12 hour shifts on the weekend) and then getting home and being dead tired.
2020 has been a crazy year for every single person in the world. It’s also been one of the worst years in recent history for the world. However, for Vizzed, it was not a bad year. Traffic stayed consistent compared to last year (with 2019 having a significant boost compared to 2018), I got a lot of site issues fixed and also added many must needed features. I was also able to find ways to cut server costs by almost half without sacrificing anything, which resulted into many of the games downloading so much faster.
I should point out that Vizzed had a rough start to 2020 though. At the beginning of the year back in early March, most of the site’s database data was accidentally
As mentioned multiple times already, Vizzed had a lot of site fixes and improvements made. I wanted 2020 to be the year that I focused on fixing things (and replacing the RGR Plugin) so one of the first things I started with was the site’s layout. I had greatly improved the site’s layout to make it more responsive by making it so that the site can adapt to almost any browser size and device type. My personal favorite enhancement, which was so big it was practically its own new feature, was the Complete Revamping of the Video Game Music Room. Other fixes and improvements included:
-Vizzed.co Minecraft Server Fixed and Upgraded
-Some Old Post Layouts Getting Fixed
-Old Page Comments Got Restored
-Profile and Page Editing Issues Fixed
-Memberlist Search
-Rebuilt a lot of the site’s logging system, which most of you don’t see but it adds better site security and makes content restoration easier
-Enhanced the load speeds of most pages on the site
-Fixed countless errors and bugs throughout the site
-Too many other things to mention here
There were a lot of features that the site needed or had but were severely outdated. One of the big ones was the new Image Uploader / Photo Album feature. Another new feature I started working on but haven’t finished yet (haven’t even posted about yet but will in the near future once finished) is a “page details” feature which not only shows lots of useful information about every page on the site, but also allows you to rate and bookmark any page on the site. Other new features included:
-Game Queue and Game History
-Video Game Characters Features Rebuilt from Ground Up
-A few site features for the Minecraft server, which are still in development but will soon be finished
2020 is also seeing the end of the RGR Plugin. The RGR Plugin relies on Flash technology but as of December 31st 2020, Flash will be discontinued in almost all web browsers. There’s still a possibility of a new plugin for the site that
For the remainder of 2020, one of my goals is to get the remaining site pages that use the old site code/layout upgraded to the new site code and there’s really not many left. My focus in 2021 will be the community (I know that was suppose to be my focus for 2020, sorry ?) and replacing the RGR Plugin.

EX Palen will be the new Site/VGR/RGR Admin of Vizzed, replacing tRIUNE. tRIUNE had this title for over a decade and so of course it's sad to see tRIUNE finally step down, because he did a lot for the site and especially during the peak years of Vizzed. Overall I would say that tRIUNE has done more for the site than anyone else in the history of Vizzed (not including me of course).
This decision to promote EX Palen to this role was a decision made between the admins, the global mods and myself. This doesn't make him 2nd in command but it does make him equal to the other admins, who I guess all share the title of being 2nd in command. He'll be overseeing the Retro Game Room, the Video Game Room and will be in charge of the staff who help out with those areas of the site.

I fixed and enhanced the RetroArch Web Player emulator on Vizzed (the primary HTML5 emulator in the RGR). It recently stopped working properly on mobile devices including phones and tablets. This has been fixed. It has also always had issues where it randomly doesn't work in the browser and you therefore have to restart the browser to get it to work. This has also been fixed. I also added a few various buttons that popup if the scr
Most users might not be aware that most of the games in the Retro Game Room are playable on mobile devices. A while back I had created my own touch game pad that appears on your phone/tablet when you choose to play the games on a mobile device but you're also not limited to just using the touch screen for gaming, you can sync a controller to your phone/tablet and use that as well. Of course the games work in almost all internet browsers on a desktop so be sure to check it out if you haven't ever done so:

I also changed the way games play on Vizzed. For the RGR Plugin games, they popup in a window just like they use to years ago, so no more opening up in a new window. For all the other forms of emulation, they also now open up in a popup window but at a bigger scale.
I did a few other things here and there with the way games are played on the site so if you notice any problems that might be the result of this

After the server migration from a few months ago, some of the games for the Nintendo NES, Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 stopped working. Nearly 50% of the Nintendo NES games didn't get migrated properly, 30% of the Atari 2600 games didn't get migrated properly, and well over 60% of the Commodore 64 games didn't get migrated properly.

The Vizzed Minecraft server was recently upgraded to a new and far better server. This new server is a lot faster and has far less issues.

The Video Game Music Room has been completely revamped! It was basically rebuilt from the ground up, although I did reuse some of the code to save time. I put about 150 hours into it over the past 2-3 months so there's a lot to talk about.
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/
The Video Game Music Room has always been one of the biggest overlooked features of the site. Although it makes up about 8% of the site's traffic, that number could be much higher when you consider everything that it offers. I honestly view it as the best place on the internet to listen to video game music (it has nearly 200,000 songs), especially now with this massive upgrade. There's a lot to cover so I'll save some of it for a video at some point showcasing everything but I'll highlight some of the biggest features.
All New Layout
I made it super easy to navigate. Every page shows you the Video Game Room Statistics, because those are the biggest highlights of the feature (nearly 200,000 songs, 10,000+ games, 40 systems...definitely worth showing off). Next to the statistics, you'll also find on every page the song search, loaded with features (more about those below). And since I gave the Video Game Music Room its own directory and broke it up into multiple pages, I made it so that the banner changes depending on what section you're on, so that you don't get lost. And speaking of new banners...
All New Theme
I not only gave it an all new layout, but also an all new look. And also completely changed the banner. I never really liked the old banner much since it was the lowest priority when I originally made the VGMR. In fact, all of the cosmetics were pretty low on the list back then since that's time consuming and wanted to put most of my focus on programming and music adding. Now that I got to dedicate more time into the look and feel of VGMR, I had fun with it and changed up a lot of stuff. Color scheme is a bit different, the background is similar but also different, and it's overall utilizing more visuals since that's what people tend to be drawn to.
New Search Engine
So the song search is complicating at first but if all you want to do is search by song name, game name, artist, then all you have to do is worth about the top row. Now if you really want to narrow down your searching, you can search for songs based on just about anything, and also order the results in various ways, depending on the search parameters. Not only did I add tons of new ways to search, but the overall results are far better and more relevant.
Here are all of the search options (bold are what's new):
Song Name, Game Name, Game ID, Song Artist, Publisher / Developer, User ID, Playlist ID, System, Keyword, Format (console, handheld, etc), Media (cartridge, CD, etc), Generation, Genre, Bits, Duration and Rating.
New Song Player
I purchased a completely new scr
The player itself floats at the bottom or top of the page, letting you navigate the page while still having quick access to the player. In bigger browsers, such as a PC, the player floats at the bottom. On a smaller screen, such as a mobile device, the player floats at the top (and it's at the top because there's an ad that floats at the bottom already). The player also shows an audio wave of the song being played, and that can help visualize the song and know where to skip to if you like to skip around in a song.
The main song player playlist offers basic but clean information and relies on graphics for navigation. The son player has a 2nd playlist navigator right below the main one, which is graphicless but offers a lot more details in a vertical format (keep in mind that you can play the song by clicking the track number to the left). By offering 2 ways to navigate the music on a page, I feel like it's a good way to please users of all preferences.
Daily Song Recommendations
As long as you've rated songs, the index page of the site will show recommended songs based on the songs you've rated. Each day you visit the Video Game Music Room, this list will be
This is how it recommends music. It takes all of the songs you've rated a 4 or 5, then it finds all users who have also rated those same songs a 4 or 5 and finds all songs that they have all rated and takes the songs that were most commonly rated high among all of those users. It's kind of a strenuous scr
Games Page
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/game.php
The Games Page lets you browse through all of the games that have music available. You can order the music based on Name, most Songs, total Duration, Average Rating, and Score (which is basically like popularity). You can also
Systems Page
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/system.php
The Systems Page lets you see a list of all of the available systems. It provides some really useful information for each system, including total Soundtracks (games), Total Songs, Total Duration, Average Song Duration, Average Song Rating, and Popularity.
If you click a system, then you can browse through the soundtracks based on the
Playlists Page
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/playlist.php
The Playlist Page lets you browse through user created playlists and also lets you create your own.
Keep in mind that when you create your own playlist, you then have access to giving your playlist its very own look. You also get lots of fun details which view count, view count today, number of unique users who have viewed your playlist, and info on the last user to view it.
Users Page
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/user.php
The Users Page lets you see a list of all users who have rated songs. It's in order of who has given out the most ratings by default but you can also order it based on Name, Average Rating, and Last Rating.
If you click a user, you'll be presented with a list of every song that user has rated and also a list of all the playlists they've created.
Song Pages
Last new page type to talk about is the actual song pages. The song page provides details on whatever song you're viewing and its the song pages from where you can add songs to a playlist and is also where you can rate a song.
One of the most exciting new features for the entire VGMR is the similar/recommended songs feature. Every song page will have a list of songs that are similar and recommended. It first grabs around 15 songs that are similar and it figures this out based on song name, game name, artist, system and keywords. The next 10 songs are recommended songs and these are recommended based on songs that users have also rated a 4 or 5. So the recommended songs on a song's page basically returns songs that you might also like if you like that specific song.
here's an example of all this in action:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogamemusic/song.php?id=2315
More Mobile Friendliness
The previous VGMR was mobile friendly but only to a certain extent and that's because it was created back when I was creating the new site code/layout years ago which means that since it was one of the first features to be created with that code, it didn't fully utilize all of the features that eventually would come. The new VGMR adapts to pretty much any browser width and height.
Conclusion
That was a lot to cover and that wasn't even everything. It's best for you guys to all just try it out for yourself and discover everything the Video Game Music Room has to offer. I highly encourage everyone to rate music that they like, this helps organize the music in the VGMR better and also helps the site give you a more personalized experience.
If anyone has questions or feedback, or if anyone is interested in helping out with the VGMR, reply to this thread:

The file migration that started a few weeks ago is finally complete. All game downloads should now be faster than they were in the past and this includes CD systems, which are now blazing fast!
I recently got rid of one of my servers and
This site has about 3 TB worth of games so that makes it difficult to get monthly costs down and it also makes server transfers time consuming but having that all finished is great! And getting the download speeds of the games to be way faster than they were in the past is a massive bonus. Some of the large games for the CD systems use to take quite a while to download since they are very large in file size but now they download pretty quickly, assuming you have a good internet connection.
I also had some games on my primary server that I also transferred to the new servers which freed me up space on the primary server which means we'll now have more space to upload more music to the Video Game Music Room, which I'll probably start working on later this month.
If you have any questions, feedback or want to confirm to us all that the files are indeed faster to download, let us know in this thread:

All of the games in the Retro Game Room should be back up and working except the following:
-Dreamcast (75% complete)
-PlayStation (50% complete)
-Sega Saturn (0% complete)
-TurboGrafx CD (0% complete)
Games are being uploaded in alphabetical order. I'm also doing the systems in the order listed above (except I'm skipping the remaining PS1 games until I get all other systems uploaded since it's a very large collection of games).
Games should be far quicker to load with the new file host (more on this once I make an official announcement/thread after migration is complete) and it'll cut my costs greatly so this migration was necessary and worth it. The migration should be complete sometime next week.
Thanks for everyone's patience.
The cartridge games in the Retro Game Room should all be back up now. Most of the disc games are still down and will be down for another few days, possibly up to a week. I'll make another announcement when everything is back up.
I'm in the process of doing a server migration for Retro Game Room files. Most of the games in the Retro Game Room will be unavailable for the next 24-48 hours. I'll make another announcement once the migration is complete.
I put together a suite of new features for uploading, managing and viewing pictures. It's available to all users and can be found in the Developer Center.
We've had a Photo Album that was created years ago but it was outdated and using the old site code and format. I made sure to include all features in the previous photo album and I also made sure to migrate all of the photos to the new system.
Before I go over the available features, I wanted to quickly point out that the images and albums can be embedded to any page that your a staff or admin of (forums that you moderate, your threads, your profile, etc). To do this, go to the page you want to add an Image or Album to and at the top of that page click the 'Add Content' at the top of the page and from the '
https://www.vizzed.com/u/test.php
User Images
All displayed images not only show title, user, date and thumbnail but they'll also show image view count and number of comments. It makes browsing through 100s of images far more enjoyable.
There's a lot of options available for sorting through images. You can order the images based on Name, Size, View Count, Date, etc. You can filter the images based on Type and Category You can do a text search which returns all images with matching titles and keywords
Image Uploader / Editor
You can upload images as large as 500 KB and all uploaded images will have a small thumbnail generated. The uploaded image page will provide you with image specs and also HTML and Forum codes that you can copy for easy pasting.
There are a few options available when uploading and editing:
-Image Type lets you choose where the image will be used on the site
-Image Category lets you add your very own category which will help you and others filter through images
-Image Privacy lets you choose who can view your image. Public means it'll appear in the search results, Unlisted means it'll not appear in the search results (can only be viewed with direct link) and Private means that only you can view it (or anyone you add as an Admin to your image page)
-Unique lets you specify whether this is something created by you or not
-Keywords (only available after uploading) let you add keywords to your image that makes your image appear when that specified keyword is used in the search engine
The image pages let users leave comments on images and also offers additional details of the image such as how many people have seen the image, how many unique users, the last user to view it, upload date, the last time the details of the page were

User Albums
This simply displays all of the albums created by users and also offers a few filter and search functions.
Album Creator / Editor
Anyone can create their own album but you can only add images that you uploaded (or are admin of) to the album you created. The albums have a few options available that work the same as the Image Uploader / Editor, which include Category and Privacy. It also has an option which lets you choose the order the images get displayed in.
Work on Albums Together
After you've created an album, you can make someone an staff/admin of the album so that they can also add their uploaded images to your album. To make someone a staff/admin of your album, click the 'Edit Page' link at the top of the page and add their name into the 'Add Mod' section.

This more than likely will be the very last netplay tournament that I can host due to Flash being discontinued (the RGR Plugin requires flash). I'm hoping to have 1 last netplay tournament.
The scheduling in this tournament is very flexible and can work around just about any schedule. Users have control over which games they play each week.
To join, or for more information, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=103132
This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. I haven't been able to host this competition in a few years now due to lack of interest. Since this might be the last netplay tournament, I'm really hoping we get enough users involved.
Results of previous years:
Summer 2017: Triple Trouble Win
Summer 2016: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2015: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Win
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win
This tournament will last for 6-10 weeks, 4-6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 2-4 of those weeks being playoff weeks (all depends on how many users sign up). The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to
NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. Also, the games of this tournament will be available to everyone while the tournament is active.

Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet.
The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.

-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above

Trophy Award

Penalty
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.

Here's how this works
Respond to this thread with up to 2 users you think would do a great job. The more users you choose, the less weight your votes have. So if you feel really strongly about someone, then vote for just 1 user.
Here's what determines the weight of your vote
The weight of a vote depends on the user and how many votes that user makes. Users who have a high rank, been around for a long time, and have a high post count, will have a vote with more weight. This is fair because those users should have a bigger impact on the results since they're more familiar with the community and have a higher reputation compared to someone who just registered with the single purpose of altering the results.
Here's the formula for figuring out the weight of your vote:
User Level * Power Level
And if you have multiple votes, it'd look like this:
(User Level * Power Level) / Vote Count
The User Levels can be viewed from their profile and also next to their posts to the left. A User Level is based on how long a user has been here and how many posts they have.
Here's the numbers that represent each Power Level:
0 = Newbie
1 = Normal
2 = Trusted
3 = Elite
4 = Site Staff
5 = Local Mod
6 = Global Mod
Rules
-Can't vote for yourself
-Can't vote for more than 2 people
-Posts with negative ratings will be investigated and potentially ignored
Voting ends on Thursday, July 2nd.
Be sure to submit your votes to this thread:

2020 Spring Bomberman Tournament = Final Matchup at 2:00 PM Central Time on Tuesday, 6/23/2020
The final matchup of the Bomberman '94 Tournament ends on June 23rd with the final matchup taking place at 2:00 PM central time.

I've been spending the past few weeks making the site more adaptive so that everyone has the same site experience and features no matter what device they're on. Instead of spending a bunch of time trying to explain how responsive the new layout is, I've made a video to demonstrate it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1qOJOJjv8s
Things added or
-Site adapts to almost every screen size
-Users on mobile devices now have access to far more content now
-The size of the generated HTML of the pages is a little smaller, allowing for quicker page loads
-Site users less Javascr
-Site can be shrunk down to a width of 250 pixels
-Messages Center takes up less space
-Site reserves more space for showing who is on a page and the users with less posts take up less space
-Vizzed GO box takes up a lot less space now
-Rearranged some ads
-Enhanced the appearances of various elements on the site and with the way some things are displayed
Things fixed:
-Some old post layouts have been fixed
-Added a ? icon to the header links which allows you to access links that would sometimes get cut off due to lack of space
-Information and Navigation Columns no longer exceed the vertical height of browsers that aren't very tall (they receive scroll bars instead of being cut off)
-Navigation Column also received scroll bar if there are too many links and the links exceed the height of the Navigation Column (especially good for staff, who have access to a lot of links)
-Fixed an issue with the HTML5 RetroArch emulator where the game fails to load on the first attempt
-Some posts couldn't be editted, this issue is fixed
-For posts that have been edited, the previous post box didn't display what the previous post's contents looked like, this is fixed

Hello all,
I realize that the previous announcement had a bad link, and was also ill-timed. I'm making another announcement to remind everyone that the April 2020 VCS is still ongoing! There are a TON of prizes to win just for posting around the boards! You can find more information here, if I don't mess up the link again:

Hello everyone!
As you all know, there was supposed to be a VCS in March. Unfortunately, due to the database issues, it had to be postponed. But now we're all raring and ready to go for April!
The prizes for this month are INCREDIBLY generous, with almost 600,000 Viz going around, as well as extra goodies! This opportunity is PERFECT for the newbies looking for more Viz and have something to say! I hope you'll all consider giving it a shot!

Registration for our annual Bomberman '94 Tournament ends in 24 hours! Be sure to sign up if you have any interest at all.
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102813
For the first time ever, I'm offer a custom username style to the winner of this Tournament. And for those who don't know, Foxyman1113 dethroned me last year so I can be beat. I'm also offering up cash prizes again like last year.
This could potentially be the last Bomberman Tournament that I host due to the potential discontinuation of the RGR Plugin at the end of the year so I'm hoping we can get as many users involved in this. Maybe not for the purpose of winning but for the purpose of having a reason to hang out and chat.
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the

I'm now finished recovering data that was lost from the accidental database drop that took place at the beginning of this month. Not all of the data was recoverable but a lot of it was. All site features should be functioning properly again.
Here's a list of everything that was recovered:
-Threads

-Post Edits (only for posts made before 11/7/2019)
-Thread Edits
-Announcements

-Page Edits (most)
-User Edits (most)
-Screenshots
-Screenshot Edits (only for screenshots added before 11/7/2019)
-Screenshot Ratings (most)
-Page Comments
-Marketplace Purchases (most)
Content submitted after 11/7/2019 that wasn't recovered:
-Vizzed GO Captures
-Music Ratings
-Music Playlists
-Game Characters
-Marketplace Listings
For more information, or if you had content that wasn't recovered, or if you're missing Viz, let me know in this thread:

Many of you are stuck indoors during this Coronavirus Pandemic. Why not use this opportunity to tell your friends about Vizzed? And if you do, respond to the below thread after they've signed up and you'll both be given access to all PlayStation games in the Retro Game Room.
Vizzed has nearly 2500 PlayStation Games, which is almost every game ever made, and it includes all retail games, region exclusives, all demo discs, and more. Best of all, the PlayStation games support Netplay (when using the RGR Plugin) which means that you can play PlayStation games, and all other RGR Plugin games, online together!
You can recommend multiple friends and each of those friends will also be given access to the PlayStation games. To qualify though, the registrations need to be done with separate IPs and those accounts need to be created by your actual friend. Only accounts created after March 20th count (obviously). You'll also need to offer proof that the user you say you referred is your friend by either having them refer to you on the registration page (or you could give them your referral link, which automates that) or they'll also need to respond to the below thread.
This offer ends April 4th.
If you have any questions or have referred some friends, respond here:

The Marketplace is back up. Most purchases from the Marketplace have been restored. If you placed a listing after November 6th, 2019, you'll have to relist it because listings weren't restored.
If you purchased something in the past 4 months that wasn't restored, respond to this thread and I'll refund you your Viz:

I'm finished with restoring game content that users submitted to the site in the past 4 months. This includes Game Pages, Game Edits, Game Edit Requests, Screenshots and Screenshot Edits. Screenshot Ratings have not been restored yet.
Any Game Edit on a game that was for a game added to the site after November 6th, 2019, was not recoverable due to not being able to matchup game IDs. Likewise, all screenshot edits made to a screenshot that was added to the site after November 6th, 2019, was also not recoverable. So if you added a screenshot to the site after November 6th, 2019, the screenshot was most likely re-added but it'll need to be re-edited. Most browsers save the details that you
I'll work on restoring the Marketplace, Screenshot Ratings, and various other features tomorrow. My kids are home from school for a while due to the Corona Virus so that has slowed down my development this week, placing me behind the schedule I laid out.
If you have any questions or noticed that your content didn't get re-added, let us know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102816
I've had many people ask me, and I'm sure there are many others who haven't and are outside of the loop.
Viz amounts are not restored yet. Give it about a week. If you are still missing Viz after that, PM me and I will reimburse you the missing amount.
All of the Announcements made in the last 4 months have been restored. Unfortunately, only some of the Private Messages were able to be restored. So if you sent a Private Message in the past 4 months, check out Sent box to see if it was restored because if it wasn't, you'll have to send it again. Also, the Private Message system is back up and running.
Retro Game Room and Video Game Room content will be restored on Monday. Marketplace and remaining features will be restored on Tuesday.
I finished restoring the posts and threads. All threads have been recovered and with their proper IDs. It took a lot longer than expected since I had to make sure every thread was accounted for and that every thread maintained its same ID as before since the posts are associated with the threads based on their ID.
Most of the posts were recovered. About 98% of the posts were recovered. There were a few here and there that I might have missed and I didn't have enough logs for mid November so there were some posts that didn't get restored from November 7th - November 13th.
Thread Edits and Post Edits did not get restored. There were too many complications with both of these that I decided it wasn't worth doing, otherwise the restoration process would have taken another week. So if you edited any Threads or Posts in the past 4 months, you'll have to do that again.
Post ratings made in the past 4 months also were not restored. Additionally, some posts got re-added twice. If anyone sees duplicate posts, a staff member can easily remove the duplicate. Users should have received Viz and CP for their Posts and Threads being re-added. The scr
Today I'm going to work on restoring Private Messages and Announcements. If I have any time left over, I'll start working on the Retro Game Room and Video Game Room. I'll make a separate announcement about it later.
So, go ahead and start posting again
I'm about a day behind schedule from what I had made an announcement about last week. Yesterday I realized that the database was so damaged from the incident last week that I was better off rebuilding its architecture and while I was at it, I upgraded the software used on the database also.
Registration is back up and all users who created accounts in the past few months have their accounts back. A few user features have been made available also now.
Here is the new plan for what I should be able to accomplish this week:
Wednesday: Posting and Private Messages
Thursday: Retro Game Room and Video Game Room Content
Sometime Next Week: Marketplace and various other features
Here's a list of known pages that still need content recovered:
-Donations
-Comments
-Game Adding
-Game Editing
-Announcements
-Threads
-Thread Edits
-Posts
-Post Edits
-Marketplace Listings
-Private Messages
-Video Game Screenshot
-Video Game Screenshot Details
-Video Game Ratings
-Music Ratings
-Page Edits
Not everything is recoverable. Anything involving the following content in the past 4 months is lost:
-Vizzed GO Captures
-Game Characters
And here's a list of features currently disabled:
-Game Editing
-Game Adding
-Threads, Posts and Edits
-Marketplace Listings
-Private Message Sending (you can view messages now at least)
-Screenshot Submissions

All you have to do is log on to the Vizzed Minecraft server, using the IP address Vizzed.co, and you'll be invited to the Maze world. I'll be making a separate thread and announcement shortly before the event starts. Even if you join late, you can still join.
How the Tournament Works
Users will navigate through a series of mazes. This isn't broken up into rounds like last time, it'll be a single marathon of mazes. You finish 1 maze, you immediately go on to the next maze.
Prizes
1st Place = 50,000 Viz (or 5 Raffle Tickets)
2nd Place = 30,000 Viz (or 3 Raffle Tickets)
3rd Place = 10,000 Viz (or 1 Raffle Ticket)
How to Spectate
If you can't participate, you can still join those who are spectating it. Foxyman1113 and I will be co-hosting the event on Twitch here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7/
If you can't make it to the live stream, I'll be uploading an edited version of the event to my YouTube channel here:

I spent many hours putting this together, which is why I had to delay it as long as I did. I wanted to capture not only the growth of the site but its community as well. I also wanted it to feel authentic so I did a lot of research in order to represent what it would have felt like using the site during the represented time periods (finding archives and using old internet browsers).
All of the users represented in the video are users with at least 10 posts. A special thanks to the users who went out of there way to put together a video/audio file that I could place in the video

I’m going to start this out by letting everyone know that I’m still working on the 15 Year Anniversary Video but it’s a little behind. It should be up within a week though, and I’ll make a separate announcement for it. You can get a sneak peak of what to expect here (the video will be based on the events listed on that).
After a lot of bold and controversial decisions made at the end of 2018 involving a complete staff restructure, 2019 started out really strong. It slowed down a bit but I think that was just a temporary phase and I believe the site is on track to start growing again. 2018 was the rock bottom for the site and 2019 was the beginning of the gradual incline that follows.
2019 was also a really busy year as far as development goes. I said I would dedicate 2019 to working on features that benefit the forum and its community and that’s exactly what I did. I spent very little time working on the Retro Game Room and mainly focused on fixing, finishing and expanding things on the forum. The biggest project of course was Rebuilding the Entire Post System, which I think makes the forum worthy of a Vizzed Board 2.0 status? I also completely rebuilt the Private Message System from the ground up. Both of those projects were some of the biggest projects I’ve tackled in years but they weren’t the only forum related things I worked on.
I restructured the Log System which made the site more secure and faster, made a ton of different cosmetic
I did work on the Retro Game Room and Video Game Room a little though. I upgraded the version of RetroArch that we use countless times. I rebuilt the Game Editor to make the lives of the staff easier, I completely revamped the way Screenshots are handled and displayed, fixed the Game Streamers page, etc.
And then to some, the biggest thing that happened in 2019 was the Vizzed Minecraft Server Revival!
One of my more favorite features that I made was the Site Statistics page. It lets you see just about any type of statistic on the site with an endless amount of filters. All of the stats for the awards below were generated from that page (in previous years, I had to execute queries in the database) so be sure to click the ‘Source’ links to see those results in action.
Another big thing that happened in 2019: My Bomberman ’94 Tournament streak was finally broke by Foxyman1113! I had been the reigning champion for 5 years. Again, congrats Foxyman1113, it was nice to finally have that streak broken and it was well earned
Expect to see less features in 2020 compared to previous years but more involvement in the actual community. In 2020 I’ll be spending far less time doing development work on the site and far more time just being part of the community, which will include more posting, hosting more events, more streams with the members of the site, more PM reading, more Notification reading, and just more involvement with the community and staff in general.
You can find all of the awards and additional information here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102393
I'm putting together a YouTube video for the Vizzed Channel which will show the evolution of this site and its community in the form of a timeline. The timeline will list all of the significant events (in order) and will show various statistics. It will also list the different users who have been staff and users who have had an impact on the site in some way.
The video will probably be around 10 minutes long. Throughout the video, I'd like for clips of Vizzed users to play so this is where you guys can help out.
Submit Your Video/Audio
I wanted to have the involvement of Vizzed users in this video.
Qualified users can send me an audio or video clip in the following ways:
1. Email it to me at
2. Upload it to YouTube (as unlisted) for me to download
3. Upload it somewhere on the internet
You qualify if any of the following apply to you:
1. You've been a member for 5 or more years
2. You have more than 1000 posts (or 100,000 post words)
3. You have more than 10,000 CP
The Video/Audio Clip should:
-Be no more than 15 seconds long
-Start out with you saying your Vizzed username (or names)
-Be good quality if at all possible
-Sent to me before December 3rd
Then answer 1 (or both) of the following questions in the clip:
1. How has Vizzed impacted your life?
2. What is your greatest Vizzed memory?
If you have any questions, reply here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102365
I'm doing another Vizzed Black Friday this year which starts today, November 29th, and ends at the end of the day on Monday, December 2nd. Except this year, I'm doing the biggest discount I've ever offered!
During this time, everything (except stuff sold by other users) will be discounted by 33% in the Vizzed Market which includes all game codes and Vizzed items. Users will also earn double Viz for donating to the site.
Enjoy
As mentioned in this thread, I'm planning on putting together a timeline video of Vizzed.
I'm putting together a timeline feature which I'll be using to help "render" the timeline video and also to have a platform where I and others can submit events. You can see the timeline I'm putting together here: Vizzed History Timeline.
Staff has the power to add events to it. I can also give users the power to add events to it if others are interested in helping out. At the moment you can only add events, I haven't got around to adding the option for editing and removing events. Also note that the date of the events have to be in timestamp format (for the time being) so you can use a website like this to find the timestamp of a date.
What Events Should Be Added?
Feel free to suggest events that should be added. While the timeline will contain a few non Vizzed events (such as game systems and popular video game releases), all suggestions should be Vizzed related. Events can be something on Vizzed that happened which had a huge impact on the site or its community, when certain features got added, it can be various milestones, etc.
Post your suggestions here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102380

It was down for a few years but the Vizzed.co Minecraft Server is finally back online (and working great)! Well technically it's been up for a few weeks now but a lot of that time was used to install necessary plugins, maintenance, migrate old data, and prepare it for its grand opening!
Anyone with the Java version of Minecraft can join using this as the IP address:
Vizzed.co
I've created an entire directory on Vizzed dedicated to our Minecraft server. It contains plenty of resources, information about every user, world and claim, and so much more. I've also got huge plans to continue expanding it with features so that the site and our minecraft are more integrated with each other. Anyways, the Vizzed Minecraft "site" can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/minecraft/
Be sure to take a look at the rules thread before using our server to avoid getting yourself banned. You can find the rules here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102259
I do a weekly Twitch Stream on Mondays at 1 PM central time where the staff and I discuss the server, our plans with it, any current events and more. If you're interested in it, check it out here:

Every Monday from 1 PM until 2 PM (central time zone) the Vizzed.co Minecraft Server staff and I will be doing a weekly meeting where we talk about the server, discuss our plans and allow users in the Twitch chat to give us feedback. It'll also involve a lot of general MC discussion and an opportunity to show off the server, the users of the server, and their creations.
The stream will be taking place on my Twitch Channel here:
https://www.twitch.tv/davideo7/
(be sure to follow my channel to get notifications)
The time and day of the week for our weekly meeting will more than likely change in a month. We'll make any adjustments needed for this so that it can involve as many users as possible.

2019 Spring Bomberman Tournament = Final Matchup at 2:00 PM Central Time on Thursday, 7/25/2019
The final matchup of the Bomberman '94 Tournament ends on July 25th with the final matchup taking place at 2:00 PM central time. The tournament started at the beginning of April and began with 25 of some of the best Bomberman players. It is now down to 5 players; here are those players and their overall rank (which will determine their player order):
P1. Davideo7
P2. Foxyman1113
P3. ruanito
P4. Barathemos
P5. brandon101101
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/davideo7/videos
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
//www.twitch.tv/davideo7
(be sure to 'Follow' my channel so you don't forget)
The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 90 minutes. Here are the results and uploaded streams of all the previous years:

I'm still the reigning champion at this tournament and I kinda hope Foxyman1113 can take me down finally this year. He beat me in our 1 vs 1 matchup a few weeks ago (but he also did that last year).

On Thursday, 6/27/2019, from 5-7 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Arcade Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This is the 4th year I've hosted a teams tournament. You can find the results of previous years here:
Summer 2017: Triple Trouble Win
Summer 2016: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2015: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Win
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win
This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to
NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. Also, the games of this tournament will be available to everyone while the tournament is active.
The games that this tournament will include (some of these might change):
Mixed System:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Final Match Tennis (TG)
-Motoroader (TGCD) ?
Super Nintendo:
-Vs. Collection
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament
-Super Bomberman 4 (English Translation) ?
-Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge ?
-NBA Jam ?
PlayStation:
-Micro Machines V3
-Shaolin
-Crash Team Racing ?
-Crash Bash ?
-Micro Maniacs ?
If you know of a good 2 vs 2 game, please recommend it and I'll see about getting it added!
Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet.
The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.
Requirements
-You should preferably live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes
1st = 300,000 Viz or $300 Worth of Steam Games (aka 30 Raffle Tickets)
2nd = 180,000 Viz or $180 Worth of Steam Games (aka 18 Raffle Tickets)
3rd = 90,000 Viz or $90 Worth of Steam Games (aka 9 Raffle Tickets)
Click here to see all the games you can choose from if you win.
(teams will share the prize)
Trophy Award
Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
Penalty
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.

The virus has spread. The emergency relief team working to contain the Davideo7 virus has become infected, and now the symptoms of this virus have become apparent in each of them. They are now each masquerading as Davideo7... If you see a Davideo7 during your venture across Vizzed Board, be sure to be extra careful and examine him carefully. It might not be the one you think it is.
For more information... you're on your own. Good luck out there.

I've extended the signup deadline by a week for the annual Bomberman '94 tournament. I was hoping to get more users signed up for this tournament. We have a good amount at 16 right now but was really hoping to get at least 20 users. So if anyone is interested in trying for any of the cash prizes (us $175 worth) or if anyone is interested in hanging out with fellow Vizzed users, there's nothing to lose with signing up. The tournament is mostly casual for the most part, it doesn't get very competitive until the final weeks of the tournament.
If you or someone you know is interested at all, you can sign up here:

For the first time in years, I'm offering out cash prizes to the top 3 winners of the annual Bomberman '94 Tournament! I'm planning on making this as much of a community event as possible. I'm trying to get as many users involved and also want to get as many of the matchups live streamed as possible so that we can also get a lot of users involved with spectating the season long event.
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the

Here's your chance to be part of the awesome team that helps keep the site going with new content and content management. Being part of the staff is of course volunteer work but you do at least get rewarded with lots of Viz (which lets you redeem game codes in the Vizzed Market) and also CP. It also lets you strengthen any skills that you might want to use for a future career. For example, write a bunch of Game Guides, Articles or Reviews and use those as examples of what you're capable of when applying for a future job in the industry. Additional benefits of joining the staff include:
-Access to exclusive features and forums
-Access to features before they're released
-Access to games and systems that aren't available to everyone
-Recognition and respect from the staff and vizzed community
-You'll be granted a permanent Elite member position (which is the highest non-staff position on the site that offers some staff benefits) after you've left staff assuming you were a staff member for at least 3 months and earned at least 1000 CP toward your staff roles
Application will be closed on January 25th and then the current staff will vote on who they think should join the staff. The new staff will be hired January 29th.
You can find a list of available positions that you can apply for at the following thread:

The new team of moderators have been hired. If you didn't get hired, please don't feel bad or left out. There were so many amazing choices to choose from and so the voters really had to find a way to narrow it down. I'm happy and comfortable with the team

Alright, where do I begin. It's been the roughest year for Vizzed and its community. The site's traffic hasn't been this low since 2010 and the posting hasn't been this low since 2007. There has been a lot of division on the forum and the site has been missing its leader. Not only has 2018 been a low point for the site, it has also been the roughest year I've ever experienced in my personal life. Having to deal with things in my life that I never thought I'd ever have to go through and then having to battle some horrible nights of severe depression in its purest form. But 2018 is almost over and 2019 is almost here. Vizzed has its leader back and I'm optimistic for 2019. The site has already begun picking up over the past few weeks and the forum has been revived and rejuvenated as of a few days ago.
Despite the negativity of 2018, the site did receive a lot of much needed enhancements and features that I've been promising for many years. I finally created a Theme Creator which gives users the ability to create and share their own themes to use on Vizzed and I'm also going to be doing seasonal competitions where users can create a theme for a competition with the reward of having it used on the site for a short duration (like the current Christmas Theme Competition). I Fixed Most of the RGR Games, Upgraded RetroArch, and rebuilt the Netplay Sessions page. I purchased an SSL certificate so that the Vizzed.com URL is now HTTPS. I created a Requests Page to help organize and prioritize what needs to be done. I even added around 1000 video game soundtracks (totaling nearly 20,000 songs) to the Video Game Music Room.
Besides adding new stuff, I also did a lot of enhancing to what we currently have. Pages that I completely rebuilt from the ground up and migrated to the new site code include: Netplay Sessions, Show Posts and Announcements. And I'm hoping to get the remaining outdated site pages migrated before the year ends. I also fixed a lot of stuff which include: Reply to Post Summoning, Various Cosmetic Issues, Smilies and many other little things here and there.
I had promised a new direction for Vizzed and more involvement with the community earlier in the year but that was soon derailed by certain life events but I believe I'm back on track at making these changes happen. In 2019, I'll be investing more of my time into the community and will be prioritizing features that benefit the forum. I'm also going to work on making the site more customizable and even offer opportunities for qualified users to help out with the site and various site pages.

I've done something radical. I've demoted all of the moderators. Clean start. Rebuilding the team from the ground up. There have been too many complaints about the moderators over the years and it has resulted into a lot of members leaving, resulting into a massive drop in activity. It's time to let the community help choose who gets to have the power to be above them. Letting the Moderators choose who becomes a Moderator opens the doors for corruption and abuse of power.
I have 10 Local Moderator positions available. All you have to do is reply to the below thread with an application explaining why you think you deserve to be a Local Moderator and how you plan to make this a better place. Make it convincing and be honest, because the entire community will be involved with voting on who gets promoted.
2 Global Moderators will be chosen from the 10 Local Moderators. Voting for this will begin after the 10 Local Moderators have been promoted but this time those 10 Local Moderators will vote on who is most deserving of Global Mod. No one will be made an admin for the time being, I'll let time determine who is worthy of the admin position and at some point have an election for those 2 spots.
The Local Moderator applications will be available until December 5th and voting will last about a week (these times may change depending on participation). If you have any questions at all, let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=101022
All demoted staff members are eligible to apply for this and most likely have a great shot at getting the same position back. This mass demotion isn't targeting anyone, I just find it easier to revive Vizzed if I first start with reviving the staff (the team responsible for helping me make this happen) since a forum's success is often determined by the staff.
To apply, please submit your applications to this thread:

The Theme Creator lets you create your very own theme. Once you've created the theme, you can apply the theme to either a page that you have admin powers over, or you can apply it to yourself which then gives many pages of the site that custom look. Not only can you create your own theme, but you can also choose from any of the user created themes.
This has been one of the more anticipated features that I promised users years ago. Even though it still has a long way to go, I'm excited to finally launch it
. Keep in mind that it'll only affect pages of the site that have been migrated to the new site engine but I plan to get more pages migrated in the near future, especially ones that are commonly used such as the New Reply page, Private Messages, Announcements and Login/Register. Also keep in mind that you can collaborate on a theme with someone by making them an "Admin" of your theme's page which gives them access to making changes to the theme (to make someone an admin of a page that you're an admin of, click the 'Edit Page' link at the top left of the page).
The feature can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/u/theme.php
Notable Features
-Create your own customized theme with instant previewing
-Browse user created themes to use as your own theme
-Make your theme available to the public or make it private
-See how many pages and users are using a specific theme
Future Features
-Allow users to buy and sell themes with Viz
-More customization over the look of the site
-Ability to copy "qualified" themes and alter them from there
-Rating system
-Search Features
-Make the theme creator easier to use and more user friendly
Set a Theme as Your Default Theme

Most of the games in the Retro Game Room that have had problems either recently or in the past year have been fixed. This mostly applies to any game that uses the RGR Plugin.
Here's a brief list of what was fixed:
-GBA and N64 (hadn't worked in about a week or more)
-Arcade and MESS systems (same issue as GBA & N64)
-Dreamcast (hasn't worked properly in almost 9 months)
-Saving, Loading and Screenshot taking (had been down 1+ weeks)
-Arcade Clones (the list of available clones for a game hasn't been available in almost 9 months)
-Game Page URLs (not sure for how long but some links to game pages from various sections of the site didn't work properly)
-Google Chrome (a recent Chrome
-Lots of other little things
If there are other RGR related problems, let me know right away in the below thread and I'll try and get it fixed as soon as I can (assuming it's not a time consuming fix):

I purchased and setup an SSL Certificate for Vizzed.com and now the entire site automatically transfers you to it. This makes the site more secure but it also greatly improves the site's reputation online and therefore increases the search engine rank since search engines like Google reward a site's ranking if the site is using https.
I had to go through a lot of pages to make sure everything is pointing to the new URL since a lot of pages stopped working because of it. If a page has content (such as images) that aren't using https on a page that is using https, most browsers throw a security warning and some don't even let you view the page. If anyone notices a page on the site that is no longer working, let me know right away in the following thread:

On Wednesday, 8/29/2018, from 4-8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Wii Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

As soon as the Bomberman Netplay Tournament ends, there will be a special Bomberman event that'll take place right afterward (just like the last 2 years). You'll form a team with anyone and take us on in a 2 vs 2 match and if you can beat us, you and your teammate get to share the $500 worth of Digital or Steam games! (or 500,000 Viz if you want that instead). Basically you'll be given 50 Raffle Tickets which you can use to redeem here (also click that to see the list of games that you can get which includes more than just Steam games).

2018 Spring Bomberman Tournament = Final Matchup at 5:00 PM Central Time on Tuesday, 7/3/2018
The final matchup of the Bomberman '94 Tournament ends on July 3rd with the final matchup taking place at 5:00 PM central time. The tournament started at the beginning of April and began with 16 of some of the best Bomberman players. It is now down to 5 players; here are those players and their overall rank (which will determine their player order):
P1. Davideo7
P2. Foxyman1113
P3. Vanelan
P4. nakina
P5. DavidMcC1989
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/davideo7/videos
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
(be sure to 'Follow' my channel so you don't forget)
The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 75 minutes. Here are the results and uploaded streams of all the previous years:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg_FQvpPiU8
2017: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Linkums, 3rd. Foxyman1113, 4th. gamerforlifeforever, 5th. Barathemos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSMe6sghQXA
2016: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Foxyman1113, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Linkums, 5th. mvhupsel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5zZOQmapM8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlhE2Lhzr-w
2014: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon
I'm still the reigning champion at this tournament but I really do think that Foxyman1113 could finally take me down this year. He beat me in our 1 vs 1 matchup a few weeks ago.

The Signup for the Summer 2018 Netplay Tournament has been extended by a week. The deadline to sign up is now June 25th instead of June 18th. This is because we don't have nearly enough teams to begin the tournament (only 1 team so far). If anyone is at all interested or knows anyone that might be interested in signing up, refer to the following thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100637
This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This is the 4th year I've hosted a teams tournament. You can find the results of previous years here:
Summer 2017: Triple Trouble Win
Summer 2016: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2015: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Win
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win
This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to
NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. Also, the games of this tournament will be available to everyone while the tournament is active.
The games that this tournament will include (some of these might change):
Mixed System:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Final Match Tennis (TG)
-Motoroader (TGCD) ?
Super Nintendo:

-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament

PlayStation:
-Micro Machines V3

-Crash Team Racing ?
-Crash Bash ?
-Micro Maniacs ?
If you know of a good 2 vs 2 game, please recommend it and I'll see about getting it added!
Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet.
The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.
Requirements
-You should preferably live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes
1st = 300,000 Viz or $300 Worth of Steam Games (aka 30 Raffle Tickets)
2nd = 180,000 Viz or $180 Worth of Steam Games (aka 18 Raffle Tickets)
3rd = 90,000 Viz or $90 Worth of Steam Games (aka 9 Raffle Tickets)
Click here to see all the games you can choose from if you win.
(teams will share the prize)
Trophy Award
Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
Penalty
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, June 18th
If you want to enter, reply to the below thread with your team name, who the leader of the team is and who is on your team. If you don't have a team or can't find one, respond to this thread saying that you want to form a team with someone and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.

I'm going to be streaming 2 vs 2 games from the Retro Game Room in the netplay lobby. The main purpose of this netplay stream will be to find some more games that have a 2 vs 2 mode or can support a 2 vs 2 setup for the upcoming Summer Team Tournament, which is now open for signup.
Users are free to join us in testing out the games since we'll need at least 4 users for our testing purposes. Foxyman1113 and I will be co-hosting the stream on my Twitch channel together and we'll be on the Vizzed Discord server doing voice chat and everyone is welcome to join in on that as well.

I've created a requests page with the purpose of helping me prioritize what needs to be done, helping me keep track of what needs to be done, and letting you all have some input in what I do with the time I invest on the site.
You can find the request page here:
https://www.vizzed.com/request.php
If you have an idea for a current feature, a problem that you want to report or a minor typo, you can report it among many other things on that page. Even if you want to suggest for me to invest more time into the community by either posting more or gaming more with users, that sort of stuff can also be suggested. Basically any direct request you have for me.
You can even give input on things already suggested by either "Liking" those ideas (by clicking the heart) or by responding to the comments sections of those pages. The page is not completely done and I plan to add a little more functionality. Keep in mind that not all ideas can realistically be done or considered but I'll do what I can and take care of what is beneficial for the site.
I get a lot of suggestions, feedback, ideas and sometimes it can be overwhelming at how many emails or private messages I get. I do sometimes forget about things reported so this page will make sure I don't forget. I often forget to make a post about things I do or fix and this page will show what I'm currently working on and what gets done when it gets done so it'll definitely be a page worth checking out often (although most of the time I make threads about the big
The "Feature Request" option is currently disabled since I don't currently have time to add new features and nor should I until I fix all of the current issues. Some of you have great ideas and I'm excited to hear what feature ideas you all might have but that option wont be available for at least a few months and any feature requests disguised as something else (placed into a different category for example) will have to be declined for now
I built this page for you guys to help me become a better owner and developer. I'm still trying to become more invested and involved with you all. For me, this is the best and most organized way I could think of at reconnecting with the community and working together at rebuilding what is broke and resolving what is wrong

Today and over the past few weeks I've been fixing various netplay issues and also recreated the Netplay Sessions page. Here's a list of things I've done.
New Netplay Sessions Page
-The new page is smaller, cleaner and is migrated to the "new site code".
-There's now a list that shows the top most popular RGR games to netplay along with a 'Create Session' link that lets you create a netplay session for that game right from the netplay sessions page.
-A game session history tracker now displays the last 50 netplay sessions. A good way to find out when users usually do netplay, if you missed a netplay session, and also gives you ideas for games to netplay.
Bug Fixes
-Netplay sessions stay open and don't auto close when users aren't chatting.
-Netplay sessions get removed again from the netplay sessions page when a session is no longer being used.
-Chat room in both the game window and netplay sessions page should be working fine and has been upgraded and modified to a better scr
-The links for leaving and deleting a session are available again in the play window of a netplay session. The 'Reset' button is also available again to those who created the session.
For those who don't know, the RGR Plugin lets you join and create netplay sessions for games in the Retro Game Room which lets you play multiplayer games online with other users of Vizzed. Supported systems include SNES, NES, PS1, Genesis, SMS, N64, TG16, PCFX, TGCD and more! You can join a session in progress from the Netplay Sessions page or you can create a new session by finding a game in the Retro Game Room, scrolling half way down the game's page and clicking the 'Click here to Start a New Netplay Session' link, which lets you set up the netplay session. Netplay sessions work best in Google Chrome.

The Vizzed Streamers page is back up. It's been down for quite a while and hasn't been functioning properly for even longer. For those who don't know, the Vizzed Streamers page is a page that promotes users on Vizzed who stream on Twitch. You don't have to stream Retro Game Room games but it is a requirement to stream RGR games at least once a month to stay on the page and streams involving RGR games will be prioritized over the other streams. You'll also earn Viz while streaming RGR games.
If you stream on Twitch regularly, it'd definitely be beneficial to get yourself added to the Twitch Streamers page. Streams not only appear on the Streams page (with chat too so they actually show up as viewers in your stream) but the streams also get promoted on the index page of the Retro Game Room.

The Vizzed annual Bomberman '94 Tournament begins week 3 tonight and both of the matchups taking place tonight will be live streamed with commentary among those competing. Below are the matchup times, who is in the matchups and where the stream will be taking place.
7:00 PM Matchup (central time zone)
-Foxyman1113
-Davideo7
-trixz2007
-DavidMcC1989
-Vanelan
It'll be streamed on trixz2007's Live.me channel here:
http://www.liveme.com/user/index.html?s=759159726814003200
9:00 PM Matchup (central time zone)
-nakina
-thing1
-Pringur0
-Davideo7
-lilwildwolf21
(possible celebrity guest appearance by Foxyman1113)
It'll be streamed on lilwildwolf21's (djinn) Twitch channel here:
https://www.twitch.tv/djinnsgamingchannel
trixz2007 and lilwildwolf21 both stream most of their matchups and since every contest has 2 matchups a week, lots of opportunities to watch some of the matchups. I also stream my matchups when I'm in a matchup that doesn't have anyone else streaming and I do that on my Twitch channel.
Some of these matchups can get intense. The 7 PM matchup from week 1 was pretty epic and tonight's 7 PM matchup contains most of the players from that matchup who all happen to be some of the toughest players in this tournament.
It's definitely worth showing up to these matchups, even if you're not in the tournament or into Bomberman. We usually keep the conversations fun and interactive and it's also a great opportunity to catch up with fellow vizzed users.

Music Competition: PlayStation 2

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100407
Earn up to 100,000 Viz in the above competition!
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points. Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
This is the 5th year that we've had a Bomberman '94 tournament. Here are the top 5 results from each of the previous 4 years:
2017: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Linkums, 3rd. Foxyman1113, 4th. gamerforlifeforever, 5th. Barathemos
2016: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Foxyman1113, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Linkums, 5th. mvhupsel

2014: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon
Requirements:
-You must be available 2 nights a week between 7 PM - 9 PM central time Tuesday-Friday nights

I've been sorta distant from the Vizzed community for the past year and a half and especially lately over the past few months. I've been spreading myself too thin ever since I started a full time job 1 1/2 years ago and especially more so with my wife recently getting a full time job, putting me in charge of my kids while she's at work which has limited my time to invest into Vizzed even more.
Up until a few months ago I was investing a lot of time into the website. Between working my full time job, I was also investing an almost equal amount of hours into the website...but not the community. A lot of the stuff I had been working on was more behind the scenes stuff such as fixing things, optimizing things, server transfers, server maintenance, marketing and advertising, researching, studying, general site maintenance, working on making the site more mobile friendly and making the games in the Retro Game Room playable on mobile devices. I was working too much, lacking
From now on, I'm going to put far less focus into adding new features to the site and more focus into fixing the ones we already have. But prioritized over that though will be the Vizzed community since that's the part of the site that has been dying the most. Over the past year, the posting traffic has taken some massive drops and more recently it's close to extinction. I've got 100s of Private Messages I have to go through and I'll make those a higher priority than I have in the past but it'll still take me a while to get through them because some require time consuming responses, some require me to look into and/or fix things that are complicating, and some are ideas and proposals that people submit to me. I also had 10,000s of unread notifications but one day I accidentally opened it up which cleared it all so there's a lot of stuff I'll never know about that I was summoned to. Anyways, I'll probably be investing about 20 hours into the site a week on average with 10% of my time invested into adding new features, 25% of it fixing features and maintenance, and 65% of it invested into the community.
Becoming more involved with the Vizzed community should result into me posting more. I'm also hoping to get back into netplaying and streaming once in a while with some of you that I haven't done so with in a long time. In the near future I'll be making a thread allowing users to let me know of what needs to be fixed around the site but my first priority will be restructuring the staff. I'll most likely demote all staff (excluding site staff) and rebuild the entire staff from the ground up. A community can't survive without a good staff and a bad staff can turn users away from the site and that's been one of the biggest complaints and one of the top reasons I've heard that users have been ditching the community, they don't like the staff or the leadership.
So yeah, my involvement with the users of this site and the staff has been terrible and I apologize for that
It's not that my management skills are bad, I just have really bad time management and I think the big reason for that is not only my lack of time but also my ADHD, which is something I've always struggled with and can be pretty bad sometimes. I start a lot of projects that I don't finish and adding new stuff to the site is more exciting to me than spending hours reading and responding to Private Messages and emails so I tend to put off to the side those things and ended up prioritizing what was exciting to me since it motivated me. But those reasons aren't justified and probably caused me to sometimes become impatient since I started viewing it as a burden to have to respond to things that were time consuming or unexciting. I'm hoping this new direction is the right direction (or at least until I can make Vizzed my full time job again) and those of you who have stuck around and been patient with me, or even those of you who are willing to give me another chance, I thank you all
All RGR Games Cost 0 Viz & Temporarily 25% Off All Market Listings
As part of my apology and gratefulness that some of you are still checking up on the site, I've made the price of all the games in the Retro Game Room cost 0 Viz (a while ago I did make it so users could still play games without Viz but they'd have in ad in the play window). I've made all of the game systems (except PlayStation) available to everyone (this actually was done a few months ago), regardless of powerlevel or what items you own from the Vizzed Market. I've permanently dropped the price of the PlayStation item from 30,000 Viz to 10,000 Viz, which gives you access to play nearly 2500 PlayStation games. I'm able to do this thanks to the new servers that I migrated to recently which now offers me unlimited bandwidth, gives me more disk space and surprisingly the servers are cheaper than the previous I had which is crazy since they're also a lot faster.
I'm also temporarily discounting all of the items in the Vizzed Market by 25%. This includes all digital items that I've listed and also all vizzed items.
150+ Items Added to Vizzed Market
Over the past month or so I've added well over 150 games and other various items to the Vizzed Market (actually 200+ but a lot of those listings sold quick). I still have a lot of game codes to add from years ago when I had the money to invest into buying digital games in stock quantity. The purpose of that was to reward users by giving them something to spend their Viz on. I'm hoping to get another 100+ items added within the next month or so.
Anyways, if any of you have any questions or feedback regarding any of this, please let me know in this thread

The server maintenance that resulted from the server migration is finally finished. I apologize for the delay and for the various features that were down for a lot of this time. I have a separate full time job and a family to attend to so I wasn't able to dedicate as much time to the maintenance and server migration as I would've liked. The migration in the long run was not only beneficial for me since it cut server costs by a ton but it also resulted into all games (except PlayStation) being available to all users with no limitations at all thanks to the unlimited bandwidth that I now have.
Also, the site should be a lot faster now and even faster than it was before the server migration. All of the features should be working fine again but if anything stopped working because of the migration, be sure to let me know right away in this thread:

The server migration is complete but the site maintenance will continue for another week. The games in the Retro Game Room are currently down and the songs in the Video Game Music Room are also unavailable. The site is also a lot slower than usual. Once the maintenance is complete, all of these things should be fixed (some of these things sooner than others). If there are any other issues that I'm unaware of, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100186
Starting now until Friday the site will be undergoing maintenance. Most of the site will be up for most of this time but some user features will be down for some of this time.
I'll be migrating the site to new servers which will help cut site costs, make the site a little faster and will give the site unlimited bandwidth which means I'll be making all of the games on the site (except PlayStation) available to everyone regardless of system and Viz.

On Wednesday, 8/30/2017, from 4-8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Game Boy Advance Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

For those who missed the final matchup but still wanted to see it, I've uploaded the stream to YouTube here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg_FQvpPiU8
The final matchup of the Bomberman '94 Tournament ends on July 12th with a final matchup taking place at 7:30 PM central time. The tournament started at the beginning of April and began with 16 of some of the best Bomberman players. It is now down to 5 players; here are those players and their overall rank (which will determine their player order):
P1. Davideo7
P2. Linkums
P3. Foxyman1113
P4. gamerforlifeforever
P5. Barathemos
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/davideo7/videos
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
(be sure to 'Follow' my channel so you don't forget)
The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 75 minutes. Here are the results and uploaded streams of all the previous years:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSMe6sghQXA
2016: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Foxyman1113, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Linkums, 5th. mvhupsel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5zZOQmapM8
2015: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Foxyman1113, 3rd. Linkums, 4th. deg2000, 5th. lilwildwolf21
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlhE2Lhzr-w
2014: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon
I've never lost in the Bomberman '94 Tournament but if there ever was a year for it to happen, it could be this year. Linkums was the overall leader in the tournament for a few weeks and both Linkums and Foxyman1113 have been able to beat me this year at some point. Also due to my incredibly busy schedule this year, I've done absolutely no practicing at all and have had issues maintaining focus so we might finally have a new reigning champion

I've added over 100 Steam Games to the Vizzed Market. For those who don't know how it works, you can buy digital games and other various items in the Vizzed Market using Viz that you've earned on the site. I also recently enhanced the searching functionality of Vizzed Market which you can read about here.
I've added literally $10,000s worth of game codes to the Vizzed Market since its launch last year. 5000+ digital items have already been sold since then and there's still 2500+ available to be purchased by Viz. I still have 1000s of digital codes to add to the Vizzed Market over the next few months but a lot of them I'll be working on adding this month so be sure to check back daily to see if any new codes get added that you might be interested in.
If you have any questions or if you want to see the full list of games added, go here:

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=99318
This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs. Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory.
Users will be able to choose the 300,000 Viz or can take 30 Raffle Tickets (valued at $300) that they can use to redeem any game from this page here. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
Systems we'll be playing games for include: PlayStation, Super Nintendo, Nintendo NES and TurboGrafx. Games include: Bomberman, Micro Machines, Super Spike V'Ball, Crash Bash and more. If anyone knows of any good 2 vs 2 games that I can add to this tournament, be sure to let me know.

The Video Game Music Radio is a live 24/7 stream dedicated to playing some of the best video game music. It doubles as video game trivia with a full leaderboard and prizes! You can find it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/radio/
To put into perspective just how big of a project this is, I've been working on this on and off for the past 5+ months and easily have 400+ hours into this. This is using the Video Game Music Room which contains 134,099 songs that I've invested 100s of hours converting and adding to Vizzed (some staff members have also helped add stuff). The radio picks high rated music based on user ratings and there are a total of 76,463 song ratings among 551 different users with a total of 29,466 songs having been rated. The screenshots (360,199 user submitted) and videos (17,298 user submitted) are generated from the Retro Game Room and the Video Game Room and are based on user ratings. To sum all of that up, this radio contains 10,000s of man hours and because of that, I believe that an experience like this couldn't be replicated anywhere else on the internet.

Unlike most people, when tax time comes around, I usually have to pay in thanks to having the site (the US government hates business owners). Since some of you get pretty generous tax returns, why not help the site out by donating a tiny bit of it? You'll get rewarded with plenty of benefits.
Interested in Donating? If so, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php
Earn Viz from Donating!
$10 = 10,000 Viz
$25 = 30,000 Viz
$50 = 75,000 Viz
$100 = 175,000 Viz
$250 = 500,000 Viz
Why donate besides helping the site out financially?
Donating grants you lots of Viz and lots of Viz can get you access to lots of nice items in the Vizzed Market. For 10,000 Viz you can get the Beta Test Ticket which grants you access to games, systems and features before they go public. For 30,000 Viz you can get the PlayStation item which gives you access to literally play nearly 2500 PlayStation games on Vizzed. Those are just a few things among many. Also, if you're feeling really generous, if you make the top

Play 2500 PlayStation games!
Ok I really wanted to put emphasis on the PlayStation games on Vizzed. There are nearly 2500 PlayStation games in the Retro Game Room which is almost every PS1 game ever made. Most of the games play nearly perfectly and they all play in HD, support save states, allow you to play multiplayer with netplay and so much more! The PS1 games take up a ton of disk space and bandwidth (which costs me money) which is why it's a system that's exclusive to people who help out the site in some way. You can get the PlayStation item for 30,000 Viz (equivalent to a $30 donation) here:
https://www.vizzed.com/market/listings.php?type=Key
Don't have PayPal?
If you don't have PayPal but still want to donate, you can donate in any other way that you can (and you can even donate your unused games as seen here). I'll still add you to the donations list and you'll also still get the CP and Viz from doing so. Keep in mind that PayPal allows people with Credit Cards but no PayPal account to donate. If you don't have PayPal or a Credit Card but still want to donate, let me know of ways that you are able to in this thread.
Don't have money to donate but still want to help out?
There are lots of ways to help out the site even if you don't have money. You can tell your friends about Vizzed, you can tell everyone on your facebook about Vizzed, you can submit content to the site, etc. You can also help out the site in a ton of ways mentioned in my Help out Vizzed thread so if you can't help out financially, please consider doing everything in this thread:

PlayStation Netplay Tournament: Final Matchup
The PlayStation Netplay Tournament comes to an end this Wednesday shortly after the music stream. I'll be hosting this final matchup starting at 8 PM (central time zone) on my Twitch Channel. The matchup will be between Kruzer and pinkeyedtree.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding any of this, go to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=98831
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points. Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
This is the 4th year in a row that we've had a Bomberman '94 tournament. Here are the top 5 results from each of the previous 3 years:
2016: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Foxyman1113, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Linkums, 5th. mvhupsel
2015: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Foxyman1113, 3rd. Linkums, 4th. deg2000, 5th. lilwildwolf21
2014: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon
Requirements:
-You must be available 2 nights a week between 7 PM - 9 PM central time Tuesday-Friday nights
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 300,000 Viz or $300 worth of Steam Games
2nd = 200,000 Viz or $200 worth of Steam Games
3rd = 100,000 Viz or $100 worth of Steam Games
4th = 50,000 Viz
5th = 25,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, April 3rd.

The latest version of Firefox (version 52) which was released on March 7th has removed NPAPI plugins. By default, the RGR Plugin runs in Firefox as an NPAPI plugin and as a PPAPI plugin in mostly everything else. Without having to release a whole new plugin, I've modified the code of the play window to force Firefox to use PPAPI when running the RGR Plugin.
This solution works with Firefox but with a few issues:
-The actual game doesn't fit within the frame (it's probably appearing higher than normal)
-Netplay doesn't work
-You most likely have to
I'm hoping to fix the 1st issue and possibly the 2nd issue. The last issue most likely can only be fixed with a new RGR Plugin

New Music Feature
After the Neo Geo CD Music stream is over, I'll be hosting a 1 hour long event to introduce everyone to a new music streaming feature I've been working on so I hope everyone can stick around and help me test it out
The site maintenance is complete and I'm kind of surprised by the results. What I had intended to do was merge 2 of the site's servers into 1 server in order to save $375 a month. I made various adjustments/tweaks and
The real test will be how the site handles the peak hours of the day but if it's this good now then I'd imagine it'll still be far better than usual during the peak hours. I can start my (factory) work week happy knowing that I had probably one of the most productive (site) work weeks in a very long time.
Anyways, more than likely something on the site stopped working after this migration. If anyone is noticing any problems that just started happening after this transfer, let me know right away here:

I dropped the price of the PlayStation item from 50,000 Viz to 30,000 Viz. This is a permanent price change and is exactly enough to get from a US $25 Donation. Earning Viz is incredibly easy so you can obtain that amount without having to donate by doing many of the things listed in this thread.
The PlayStation item gives you access to play nearly 2,500 PlayStation games on Vizzed (which is almost every PS1 game ever released in all countries). All you need is a decent computer and the RGR Plugin installed and you'll be able to play the PS1 games with near perfect emulation and with lots of features. You can find a list of PS1 games that Vizzed has here:
https://www.vizzed.com/play-psx/
In related news, the PlayStation item was recently "out of stock" in the Vizzed Market (I know it's a virtual item lol) so I increased its stock to 100. I also made it so that the V-Machine CD item includes PlayStation games (which is an item that allows you to access all games for 0 Viz).
There are many reasons why PlayStation games on Vizzed are not available to everyone but the primary reason is to reduce bandwidth costs. CD games are huge, around 500 times larger than the average cartridge game.

Foxyman1113 and I will be playing a bunch of 2 player PlayStation games in order to come up with 8-12 fun games to use for the upcoming annual winter tournament. The goal is to find games that can be played in around 15 minutes or less.
The stream will go from 4 PM - 8 PM (central time) and will take place on my Twitch Channel here
https://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
If anyone has any suggestions for fun PlayStation games that can be played competitively between 2 players, feel free to recommend them to the below thread and we'll hopefully get around to testing them out. You can also recommend games during the stream. We're hoping to get a variety of genre's and a good selection of games that represent the PlayStation.
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=97794
On Monday, 11/28/2016, from 5 - 9 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Sega CD Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $300 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

The Summer Team Tournament is finally over. If you missed the stream, you can find the video of it and the results here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnXe0C36mTU
The Summer 2016 Teams Netplay Tournament comes to an end tomorrow, Monday, in the Final Matchup at 4 PM central time. This was a 14 week long tournament which started out with 12 teams where each week 2 teams would face off against each other best out of 3 based on either Super Nintendo games, PlayStation games or Mixed System (which includes NES, TG and TGCD).
The teams facing off tomorrow will be Vizzéteers (Davideo7 and trixz2007) versus Masters via Participation (Vanelan and Zlinqx). Last year the final matchup came down to my team vs their team with the Vizzéteers winning it, the only difference is that this year I have trixz2007 on my team instead of Foxyman1113 and lilwildwolf21.
Since mixed system was decided, the first team to win 2 of the following games wins:
Bomberman '94 (TG): Win 2 rounds to 5 trophies to win this game.
Final Match Tennis (TG): Win a single set.
Super Spike V'Ball (NES): Win a single set.
Motoroader (TGCD): Win a single set.
The teams take turns picking the game that gets played, starting with the Home team which is Vizzéteers.
Can Davideo7 win this annual summer tournament back to back? Or will Vanelan and Zlinqx pull a Rocky II and take down the reigning champion? Find out live on 9/26/2016 at 4 PM central time here:

I've created a Patreon page for Vizzed which you can find here:
https://www.patreon.com/DavidAuchampach
Working on the site is something I do full time and previously the ad revenue covered both my employment and the site expenses and server fees, however, the ad revenue has taken some drops over the past few years (traffic drops, ad blocks, mobile devices, etc) so I'm no longer able to invest 40-60 hours into the site a week like I love doing.
Here are the tiers which you can also find on the above page (I plan to add more soon):
$2 a Month
-Access to a Patron Exclusive forum
-All RGR Games Cost 0 Viz
-All Ads Removed
$5 a Month
-Access to All RGR Games (including PS1 games and beta ticket exclusive games)
-Added to my Vizzed friends list, Skype, Xbox Live and/or Steam (permanently)
-Earn 1.25x more Viz for everything you do *
-All Previous Rewards
$10 a Month
-Access to Almost All Site Features (all the features that require special items)
-All of your Private Messages are prioritized (I'll make sure to get to them within 24-48 hours)
-Earn 1.5x more Viz for everything you do *
-All Previous Rewards
$25 a Month
-You get to have some input on what features I invest my time into
-Promoted to Vizzed Elite if you're not already (you get to permanently keep it if you do this tier for at least 1 year)
-Earn 1.75x more Viz for everything you do *
-All Previous Rewards
$50 a Month
-1 undivided hour of my time a month (spent in any way that you want)
-Ability to change your username color whenever you want as often as you want (your final color is permanent if you do this tier for at least 1 year)
-Earn 2x more Viz for everything you do *
-All Previous Rewards
$100 a Month
-I'll invest 8 hours a month toward any feature that you request (either a new feature or a current feature)
-Ability to change your username border color whenever you want as often as you want (your final color is permanent if you do this tier for at least 1 year)
-Ability to change your username whenever you want as often as you want for 0 Viz (no more than once per a day)
-All Previous Rewards
*The multipliers from these rewards would be added to the current multipliers that users already have based on their CP total. So if a user already has a 1.5 multiplier on Vizzed, the $10 a Month tier would turn that into a 2x multiplier.
All rewards would only be active while the user is an active patron (unless stated otherwise).
If anyone has any questions or feedback, be sure to let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=96307
I've created a new Donation page (which you can read about here) which offers a few new ways to donate. You can find the Donation page here:
https://www.vizzed.com/donate.php
It costs a lot to keep this site running with all of the games that it has so it's always greatly appreciated with users help out. The ads only pay so much and that's mainly because I don't want to flood the pages with ads, don't want use popups and I also want to avoid adding annoying, unsafe or adult ads. All donations are rewarded a lot of Viz and CP and also offer other benefits (with more benefits coming soon for all current and future donators).
Donation Options
Donate with Stripe
Stripe lets you securely donate any amount to the site using Credit Card, Bitcoin and Alipay.
Other Ways to Donating
You can do a manual donation using just about any method and still get full credit for it.
Donate Games
If you have any physical games you no longer use, get full credit from donating them.
Donate with PayPal
This isn't a new form of payment but I figured I'd remind everyone that this is an option.

Sign up now to our annual Tecmo Super Bowl tournament. The Tecmo Super Bowl tournaments last the longest of all the tournaments I hold each year since it lasts as long as the NFL season. Just like last year, this year the tournament will begin right around the time Preseason begins which will be Thursday, August 11th.
Previous Winners:
2015 Winner: MattyIce
2014 Winner: MattyIce
2013 Winner: boomer1709
2012 Winner: thubtengendun0
This tournament will last for 24 weeks. The first 4 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate) and it'll also help determine who plays who during the regular games. The next 16 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final matchup which is our Super Bowl.
Since 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2017' wont be released when this tournament begins, we'll be using 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2016' for the first 4 weeks and then we'll be using 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2017' once the regular season begins.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo NES games
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 300,000 Viz or 30 Raffle Tickets
2nd = 200,000 Viz or 20 Raffle Tickets
3rd = 100,000 Viz or 10 Raffle Tickets
Team Entry Fee: FREE
(entry fee is 0 Viz this year)
Signup ends and tournament begins on Thursday, August 11th.
If you want to enter, simply respond to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=95920
On Wednesday, 7/27/2016, from 3 - 10 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Super Nintendo Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $500 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be nearly 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/market/listings.php?type=Raffle
If you can only show up for a little while that's fine. It's a very long stream (probably not as long as last month though) so I don't expect anyone to stick around the entire time. The longer you stick around and vote, the greater your chances will be of winning some Raffle Tickets.

Vizzed is back up and should be back to normal. If you notice anything wrong with the site after coming back up, please let me know ASAP in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=95637
So I woke up to the same problem you are all seeing right now and I don't know why it is happening. I'm trying to contact David (if anyone has his contact info saved somewhere feel free to try and contact him yourself) but to no avail so far. Hopefully he is able to come back sooner than later to get this sorted out.
It appears as though games are still playable so please feel free to visit the RGR while you wait
Also, if anyone else is getting pop-up ads I apologize for that. Not sure why that started happening but it is quite annoying and wouldn't blame anyone for blocking the ads until everything gets sorted out again.
There's more ways to earn and spend Viz now than ever before. I'll quickly go over the things that you can spend your Viz on and also ways that you can earn Viz.

This gives you access to play nearly 2,500 PlayStation games. We have just about every PS1 game ever made on the site and also a lot of rare unreleased stuff as well. The games play great and the majority of the games work!
Buy Digital Games in the Vizzed Market
The market has nearly 4000 codes for 800+ games and games are being added daily. You can buy Steam games, Wii-U games, 3DS games and more! The Market also has non-game codes for sale as well.
Download Video Game Music = 25,000 Viz
The Video Game Music Room is an awesome feature that has been around for 7+ months that allows you to listen to nearly 100,000 songs from video games. Now you can finally get access to downloading these songs with the Song Downloader item.
Unlock Features with Key Items
The Vizzed Market has a Key Item section that allows you to buy items that unlock features on the site. There are currently lots of items available and I've got plans to add plenty of new items in the near future.

Vizzed Market Forum
This forum has tons of threads created by various users and myself allowing anyone to earn lots of Viz.

The site has been struggling financially for a while now and I've been having troubles keeping up with paying the RGR Plugin developer. You can earn 10,000 Viz for each US $10 that you donate so if you have anything to spare, please consider it.
Submitting Site Content
You can earn both Viz and CP when you submit various forms of content to the site.

I completely recreated the profile pages from the ground up and made them so much better by adding so many more features and options, made them more user friendly, made them mobile friendly, faster to load, more secure and so much more (more details below). I also made it so that all of the 'Edit Profile' stuff can be done right on your profile page. You can see my profile in action here:
https://www.vizzed.com/user/Davideo7-1-profile
You can see your own profile by either clicking your username at the top of almost every page of the site or by going to this page:
https://www.vizzed.com/user/
For full details or for any questions and feedback, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=95487
I've created a comment box which lies near the footer of almost every page. The only pages that it doesn't exist on includes game pages (since they have their own comment box already) and any page that hasn't been migrated to the new site code. For most pages the box is unique to the page which means comments made in the box would only appear on that specific page.
Features include:
-Ability to submit comments without having to reload the entire page
-Clicking 'Popout Comments' lets you view more results and with a bigger view
-Being the admin of a page grants you the ability to delete comments (and profile owners too)
-On profiles, you can click the 'View Archived Comments' link to view old past comments
-The comment box can be disabled on any page from the 'Content Disabling' section of 'Edit Page'
-A reload button reloads the comments to see if any new comments have been made (they don't load automatically to reduce strain)
-Most forum tags are supported
-It's incredibly fast
-It should be completely mobile friendly
The pages that benefit the most from this include:
-User Profiles
-Song Pages
-Forum Pages
-Song Playlists

On Thursday, 6/30/2016, from 3 - 10 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Sega Genesis / Megadrive Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $500 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more.
The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be literally 500+ digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/market/listings.php?type=Raffle
If you can only show up for a little while that's fine. It's a very long stream, it'll possibly be my longest stream so far, so I don't expect anyone to stick around the entire time (but the longer you stick around, the more songs you'll be able to rate and the better your chances will be of winning Raffle Tickets).

As some of you know, Vizzed has been struggling financially over the past year after it took some huge traffic drops and now that January and February have come along (which are already the worst months financially out of the entire year), things are even worst financially. What's even worst on top of that is having to pay taxes this time of year and being self employed (since my income depends on the site's revenue) means that I have to pay in money to the government and it's usually a lot (I don't have the luxury of getting a nice tax return every year). I've been able to get site fees down a little over the past few months but they're still $1000+ a month.
If you have any money to spare, even if it's as little as $10, the donations would be hugely appreciated. If you can donate a big amount, that'd be fantastic but if you can only afford $10 then that's fine too since it adds up. If for example 100 users donated $10 each, that'd be $1000 right there which would help out greatly (and the majority of users most likely can afford $10, that's like the price of what some people spend on junk food in a week). My job is this site which allows me to work on this site full time (sometimes as much as 60-80 hours a week) so I don't really have any other source if income besides selling my possessions.
Interested in Donating? If so, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php
Earn Viz from Donating!
$10 = 10,000 Viz
$25 = 30,000 Viz
$50 = 75,000 Viz
$100 = 175,000 Viz
$250 = 500,000 Viz
Why donate besides helping the site out financially?
Well donating grants you lots of Viz and lots of Viz can get you access to lots of nice items in the Vizzed Market. For 10,000 Viz you can get the Beta Test Ticket which grants you access to games, systems and features before they go public. For 25,000 Viz you can get access to the V-Machine item which allows you to play all games without paying extra Viz for them. For 50,000 Viz you can get the PlayStation item which gives you access to play 2500+ PlayStation games on Vizzed. There are lots of other things you can spend Viz on and I've got lots of additional items that will be added to the Vizzed Market in the upcoming weeks. Also, if you're feeling really generous, if you make the top

Don't have PayPal?
If you don't have PayPal but still want to donate, you can donate in any other way that you can (and you can even donate your unused games as seen here). I'll still add you to the donations list and you'll also still get the CP and Viz from doing so. Keep in mind that PayPal allows people with Credit Cards but no PayPal account to donate. If you don't have PayPal or a Credit Card but still want to donate, let me know of ways that you are able to in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=95069
Don't have money to donate but still want to help out?
There are lots of ways to help out the site even if you don't have money. You can tell your friends about Vizzed, you can tell everyone on your facebook about Vizzed, you can submit content to the site, etc. You can also help out the site in a ton of ways mentioned in my Help out Vizzed thread so if you can't help out financially, please consider doing everything in this thread:

2016 Spring Bomberman Tournament = Final Matchup at 6:30 PM Central Time on Wednesday, 6/22/2016
The Bomberman Netplay Tournament which started back in late March will come to an end this Wednesday in the final matchup! Here are the 5 users who made it to the final matchup along with their player number (which also reflects their overall rank) and Bomberman color: Davideo7 (P1: White), Linkums (P2: Black), AceShock (P3: Red), Foxyman1113 (P4: Blue) and mvhupsel (P5: Green).
The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 75 minutes (although last year it epicly lasted nearly 2 hours as you can see here) and will consist of rounds. The winner of the tournament gets $100, 2nd place gets $50, 3rd place gets $25 and 4th & 5th get Viz prizes. If you're curious about how this tournament worked and who all competed, you can find more information here.
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here.
No one has ever beat me in this annual Bomberman '94 tournament but this year has more talent than any other year so this could be the year that someone finally takes down my reign and gets crowned the Bomberman '94 champion! Or you can root for me also, I don't want to be portrayed as the villain
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
(be sure to 'Follow' my channel so you don't forget)
Defeat Davideo7 and Foxyman1113 & Win US $500 Worth of Digital or Steam Games! Event starts at around 7:30 PM central time on Wednesday, 6/22/2016
As soon as the Bomberman Netplay Tournament ends, there will be a special Bomberman event that'll take place right afterward (just like the last 2 years). You'll form a team with anyone and take us on in a 2 vs 2 match and if you can beat us, you and your teammate get to share the $500 worth of Digital or Steam games! (or 500,000 Viz if you want that instead). Basically you'll be given 50 Raffle Tickets which you can use to redeem here (also click that to see the list of games that you can get which includes more than just Steam games).
If you're interested in challenging us, read the full details and respond to this thread here:

Sign up now for the Summer 2016 Team Tournament for a chance at winning 300,000 Viz or $300 worth of Digital Games:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94941
This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs. Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory.
Users will be able to choose the 300,000 Viz or can take 30 Raffle Tickets (valued at $300) that they can use to redeem any game from this page here. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.
If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.
Systems we'll be playing games for include: PlayStation, Super Nintendo, Nintendo NES and TurboGrafx. Games include: Bomberman, Micro Machines, Super Spike V'Ball and more. If anyone knows of any good 2 vs 2 games that I can add to this tournament, be sure to let me know.

The Video Game Music Room is already 6 months old and has made a lot of progress since its launch. It now has nearly 100,000 songs among 5000+ games for nearly 30 different systems with new songs being added weekly. If you still haven't used it, be sure to check it out here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/music.php
Because the Video Game Music Room has so many songs, we need as many ratings as we can possibly get in order to help the good songs stand out and for the bad songs not to. I'll give anyone who is willing to help rate songs up to 50,000 Viz! A great opportunity to earn more Viz for the Vizzed Market. All you have to do is search for music and rate it. I've temporarily made it so that you can get CP credit for rating 100s of songs during this offer and I also made it so that the default order of songs is based on overall rating in order to mix things up (too many SNES songs were showing up in the default order and I want more than just SNES songs rated).
Here are some rules in order to qualify:
-Don't rate everything the same rating (this would lead me to assume you didn't listen to anything).
-You will only get credit for songs that you earned CP from (you can see how many you've been credited for in the 'Song Rating' section on your Contributions Page).
-Songs must be at least 15 seconds long to count to prevent users from rating tons of jingles and sound effects.
-There must be a 25 second gap in between rating songs to prevent users rating random songs without listening to them.
-Only ratings made on and after 6/14/2016 count.
-This offer ends June 30th.
Here's how much Viz I'll give you guys based on how many songs you rate:
+25 Songs = 10,000 Viz
+50 Songs = 25,000 Viz
+100 Songs = 60,000 Viz
Tips:
-If you have a preference on game system then search for games based on system
-You can find collections of songs by searching through user playlists
Once you've rated enough songs to qualify you for Viz, be sure to let me know in the following thread and I'll send you the Viz. Keep in mind that you'll also be automatically earning CP and Viz when you rate these songs so you'll be getting my bonus Viz on top of the regular Viz.

It's awesome to see so many returning users using the Vizzed Market after I sent out the emails to users who had enough Viz to afford games in the Market. I first wanted to welcome you all back and briefly go over some of the big things that have taken place on the site over the past few years. I'm hoping you guys consider sticking around
Video Game Music Room
This is a feature that launched nearly 6 months ago and has been
Video Game Room
This has been in slow development over the course of many years. The ultimate goal of the Video Game Room is to provide graphics and content for every game ever made. It also has a few sub pages including a Video Game Characters page and a fancy all graphic Video Game Navigator.
Retro Game Room
This is what brought most of you here so you're all likely familiar with it. However, there's been a lot that has been added to this over the years. There's been 1000s of new games added, lots of new features and lots of new game systems which include Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, PlayStation (currently only available to users with the PlayStation item) and lots of others.
New Vizzed Code and Look
Over the past year I've been working on recreating the site code from the ground up in order to make the site faster, easier to use, search engine friendly, more secure, offers more customization, optimized code means it's easier/quicker for me to develop new features, mobile friendly and so much more. There's still a lot of pages that need to be migrated to the new site code but for the pages that have been, they function a lot better and have a lot more features.
Netplay
This allows you to play with other users online in almost any game for the following systems: Nintendo NES, Super Nintendo, N64 (buggy), MAME (requires port configuration), Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, TurboGrafx, SuperGrafx, TurboGrafx CD, PC-FX and the Sony PlayStation (and it works great). To create a session, you simply go to a game's page, scroll half way down to the netplay section and click the 'Click here to Start a New Netplay Session with Mednafen' link. To join a session, go to the Netplay Lobby.
Vizzed Market
The New Vizzed Market just launched a few weeks ago and not only does it completely
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94501
Feel free to sell your unused codes in the Market. I usually add 30+ games and 200+ codes each day and I still have 1000s of codes for 100s of games to add so be sure to check out the Digital section of the Vizzed Market daily. If you need help earning some more Viz, you can find lots of ways in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=78350
There's a lot of things that I missed but I wanted to keep this somewhat brief in order to not bore anyone away lol. I've also got loads of awesome new features coming soon and I've got big plans for big features before the year ends (including a Battle Arena).
If anyone has any questions or feedback, let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94803
A few days ago I made an update which no longer allowed users to play games until they disabled their ad block for Vizzed.com (since the ad blocks are literally killing this site). Since making that thread, I've decided to not make this a requirement in order to play games in the Retro Game Room. Instead I'm going to have it so that users get a reminder once in a while to disable their Ad Block for Vizzed if they have it enabled. I'm hoping this is a compromise that everyone can agree with.
For questions, feedback or more information, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94696
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94691
It's that time again folks! We've got a spot to fill and we want you!
Well, not all of you but some of you, or one of you, or 3 of you. I haven't really decided.
However, the point is this - there is at least 1 local mod position open right now and if you want a chance at it go to the thread I linked to to find out how to apply.
Good luck!

Since I put 75+ hours into this, you can imagine that there's a lot to mention regarding the new changes so I'll try and break my post down into each of the big changes and I'll try to keep it as brief as I can.

2 months ago I announced a new feature which allowed anyone to load any game rom that they owned or had access to from this page:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/yourgames.php
A lot of users had questions on how to use it so I wrote up detailed instructions which you can find here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94123
I also recorded a demonstration on how to use it which you can watch here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owT2YwApXWc
(be sure to Like the video & Follow my channel if you'd like me to do more instructionals)
Lieutenant Vicktz recently launched his own rom site becoming the first Vizzed affiliated site to use the RGR Plugin. The purpose of his website is to provide users a simple way to play game roms that they own on their computer in the browser without having to configure anything. It'll also allow anyone who has already played a game on Vizzed to continue playing that same game on his website and it'll even load their save files as long as they're logged into Vizzed.
The site can be found here:
Play.Rom.Online
It's still in development and is currently limited to certain systems but he'll work on adding stuff to it depending on how much traffic it gets.
If anyone else has their own website that they'd like to use the RGR Plugin on, feel free to contact me and we can work something out.
If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know in this thread:

On Wednesday, 4/27/2016, from 4 - 8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Famicom Disk System Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of 200,000 Viz and $200 worth of Steam Games. The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. The games that you can pick from will be left over games from this thread.
If you can only show up for a little while that's fine.

Spring 2016 Vizzed Minecraft Server Competition

You can earn up to US $50 or 200,000 Viz or Your Own World in the above competition!
I'm giving anyone who wants access to play PlayStation games on Vizzed an opportunity to earn the PlayStation item. Normally you'd have to spend 50,000 Viz for the PlayStation item in the Item Shop in order to get access to the nearly 2500 PS1 games that Vizzed has available.
Here's how this will work. Send me 5000 Viz and I'll let you "rent" the PlayStation item for 1 month. If you do any of the below requirements, you get to keep it!
There are a few reasons why I can't give every user access to PlayStation games but the primary reason is that it'd suck up a lot of bandwidth and bandwidth usage costs me money. The server fees for this site and for hosting the PS1 games is already expensive and PS1 games are pretty large in file size (10-20 times larger than N64 games). So the best way to limit how many users are playing PS1 games is by unfortunately forcing users to earn it.
Requirements to Keep it:
-Write 3 Reviews of PS1 games of at least 2000 Words (should have good spelling/grammar)
-Write 6 Reviews of PS1 games of at least 1000 Words (should have good spelling/grammar)
-Do 15 hours worth of PS1 netplay multiplayer with other users
-Stream 20 hours worth of PS1 games to Twitch or Hitbox *
-Stream 10 hours worth of PS1 games while netplaying with other users *
-Submit 10 hours worth of PS1 gameplay videos to the Vizzed YouTube Channel (should have little idle time)
-Take a total of 120 screenshots among 12 different PS1 games (screenshots should be unique from each other)
-Write 2 Walkthroughs for PS1 games of at least 2,500 Words each
-Write 1 Walkthrough of at least 5,000 Words for a PS1 game
*You'll have to give me proof by archiving your stream videos. You'll also have to make sure that Vizzed.com is being advertised in both the stream video and the stream page itself.
If you want to do a combination of more than 1 option from the above list, let me know and we can work something out. If you want a suggestion on which one to pick then I'd suggest the 'Stream 10 hours worth of PS1 games while netplaying' since that's probably the quickest one to do and also because I would like to see more users netplaying PS1 games, especially since there are just so many good multiplayer games for the system.
You can find all of the PlayStation games in the Retro Game Room here:
https://www.vizzed.com/play-psx/
This offer ends once your 1 month rental expires. You can rent it a 2nd time for an additional 5000 Viz if you need more time to fulfill one of the above requirements. To send me Viz, go to my profile here and then scroll half way down the page until you see the 'Send Davideo7 Viz!' section.
If you have any questions or feedback, let me know in this thread:

Vizzed has gone through a lot over the past few months. Nintendo had me take down 100s of their games, Vizzed was temporarily flagged by Google and the site's traffic and revenue have taken some big drops. I just wanted to take this time to say Thank You to those who have stuck around and stayed loyal to Vizzed during this time!
I also want to say thanks to everyone who supported the site in various ways during this time either by donating, continuing to add content to the site, helping me advertise the site and by simply coming here every day.
But I feel like saying thanks isn't good enough though. You all have invested so much time into this site and have given so much to this awesome community so I wanted to take this opportunity to give back to the community by offering everyone who is interested a free steam game. I've been buying steam game codes for well over a year and it's time to start putting some of them to use.
All you have to do is respond to the below thread letting me know which steam game you want (1 per a user) and I'll try and send you the code within 24 hours. Be sure to request a game that hasn't already been requested (you can take a look at the previous requests since my last post in this thread but I'll try and

Earlier this month I made an offer for users where if they donated this month, they'd get double the Viz they'd normally get for donating. This was to help stimulate donations since the site has been struggling financially for a while now (and especially lately). The offer still stands but will be ending in a few days. If anyone is still interested in donating or is wondering why they should donate, go here for full details:

You can now load and play any game rom for any emulator here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/yourgames.php
You can load games from your computer or from external URLs. This page allows you to play any game for any of the supported systems, whether Vizzed has it or not. Using this page you can also access game systems that may not even be available to you as long as you have a copy of the game. This page is accessible to everyone without restrictions, even guests. Loading games manually means no Viz charges either.
If you load up a game into the plugin that is currently available on the site or previously available on the site, the page will try to find the game in the database that matches the file name and if it finds a match, the play game page will have additional details and info (such as documenting what you're playing, finding the best settings for the game, giving you access to a chat room for the game, allowing you to submit screenshots to that game's page, etc). Also, if you play a game you've previously played, your save file should still be accessible.
Forgive me for loading the page with ads. With the things that have gone on lately, the site's ad revenue is going to take a huge hit and I need to find ways to make up for it, especially since I need the budget to get more features and systems added to the RGR Plugin and the site.

I've been contacted by a lawyer representing Nintendo of America Inc. and I've been given a list of games that had to be removed from Vizzed. 2,196 games have been removed from Nintendo systems which include Nintendo NES, Super Nintendo, Virtual Boy, Famicom Disk System, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color and Nintendo N64. You can find a full list of removed games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=93240
I'm not sure what I'll be doing now that the games which were responsible for the site's primary traffic and revenue are removed but I've got a few options that I'll be looking into and hopefully I'll have a solution of some sort by next week.

In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points. Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
This is the 3rd year in a row we've had a Bomberman '94 tournament. Here are the top 5 results from each of the previous 2 years:
2015: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Foxyman1113, 3rd. Linkums, 4th. deg2000, 5th. lilwildwolf21
2014: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon
Requirements:
-You must be available 2 nights a week between 7 PM - 9 PM central time Tuesday-Friday nights
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 200,000 Viz or $100
2nd = 100,000 Viz or $50
3rd = 50,000 Viz or $25
4th = 25,000 Viz
5th = 10,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, March 28th.

The Flash Emulator 'NESBox' has been added to the Retro Game Room for the following systems:
-Nintendo NES
-Super Nintendo
-Sega Genesis *
-Game Boy
-Game Boy Color
-Game Boy Advance *
* Systems that didn't previously have a non-RGR plugin emulator available
This is the first Flash emulator to be added to the Retro Game Room so it's a great alternative for those who have issues with Java and can't use the RGR Plugin. It runs great for all of the systems but it does have audio issues for the Game Boy systems (and you can simply use the emulator's mute if it's annoying). I'm sure this emulator will be updated occasionally so when it is, I'll be sure to update ours as soon as possible.
The emulator has some nice features including:
-Save States and Load States
-Full Screen
-Mute
-Ability to change controls
-Controller Support (using Adobe AIR and NESBox Companion)

I spent a good portion of the day upgrading the Vizzed.co Minecraft Server to 1.9. The reason it took so long was because the current server build was having issues and those issues were probably caused with the various things that have gone wrong with the server in the past. So after many attempts at failed upgrades, I basically decided to rebuild the entire server from the ground up and then transfer over various files and settings to the new build. Because of this, the server may also run a little better than it use to run.
For those who don't know, the IP address of the Vizzed Minecraft Server is:
Vizzed.co

I've added a new Contribution Point Action titled 'Character Bio'. This action is for writing Character Biographies and Information which go in the new Game Characters forum.
To create Biography or Information thread for a video game character, find the video game character you want to write one for in the Video Game Characters feature and then click the 'Write a Biography' link found on the character's page (to find a character you first have to click the franchise the belong in but if you can't find their franchise then they might be in the NO FRANCHISE section. All biographies for a character will appear on the character's page.
Before the only way you could write a biography for a character was by editing the character's page and only staff members were able to do that. Not only that but there wasn't a specific action for it and the payout wasn't adjusted properly and it was just inconvenient having to write up a fancy biography in such a small little box and the bio writer didn't get credit.
The payout for a 'Character Bio' is the same as Articles and Reviews, which is 0.05 CP and 5 Viz per a word (but with no base charge). The daily limit is higher than those actions. You can read more about the action and its daily limits here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/contributionpoints.php
As a test, I wrote up a few test biographies so that you can see it in action here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/character.php?id=791
and here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/forum.php?id=139
I'm hoping this new action and the new forum encourage users to write up Biographies and Information threads for various video game characters.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=93055
As some of you know, Vizzed has been struggling financially over the past year after it took some huge traffic drops and now that January and February have come along (which are already the worst months financially out of the entire year), things are even worst financially. What's even worst on top of that is having to pay taxes this time of year and being self employed (since my income depends on the site's revenue) means that I have to pay in money to the government and it's usually a lot (I don't have the luxury of getting a nice tax return every year). I've been able to get site fees down a little over the past few months but they're still $1000+ a month.
If you have any money to spare, even if it's as little as $10, the donations would be hugely appreciated. If you can donate a big amount, that'd be fantastic but if you can only afford $10 then that's fine too since it adds up. If for example 100 users donated $10 each, that'd be $1000 right there which would help out greatly (and the majority of users most likely can afford $10, that's like the price of what some people spend on junk food in a week). My job is this site which allows me to work on this site full time (sometimes as much as 60-80 hours a week) so I don't really have any other source if income besides selling my possessions.
Interested in Donating? If so, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php
Earn Up to 1 Million Viz for Donating!
From now until the end of the month, users will earn double the Viz from donating! So here's how much you'll now earn from donations:
$10 = 20,000 Viz
$25 = 60,000 Viz
$50 = 150,000 Viz
$100 = 350,000 Viz
$250 = 1,000,000 Viz
(I recently already permanently increased Viz payout for donations)
Why donate besides helping the site out financially?
Well donating grants you lots of Viz and lots of Viz can get you access to lots of nice items in the Item Shop. For 10,000 Viz you can get the Beta Test Ticket which grants you access to games, systems and features before they go public. For 25,000 Viz you can get access to the V-Machine item which allows you to play all games without paying extra Viz for them. For 50,000 Viz you can get the PlayStation item which gives you access to play 2500+ PlayStation games on Vizzed. There are lots of other things you can spend Viz on and I've got lots of additional items that will be added to the item shop in the upcoming weeks. Also, if you're feeling really generous, if you make the top

Don't have PayPal?
If you don't have PayPal but still want to donate, you can donate in any other way that you can (and you can even donate your unused games as seen here). I'll still add you to the donations list and you'll also still get the CP and Viz from doing so. Keep in mind that PayPal allows people with Credit Cards but no PayPal account to donate. If you don't have PayPal or a Credit Card but still want to donate, let me know of ways that you are able to in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=93010
Don't have money to donate but still want to help out?
There are lots of ways to help out the site even if you don't have money. You can tell your friends about Vizzed, you can tell everyone on your facebook about Vizzed, you can submit content to the site, etc. You can also help out the site in a ton of ways mentioned in my Help out Vizzed thread so if you can't help out financially, please consider doing everything in this thread:

The Java Emulated games in the Retro Game Room had been down since a server migration that took place about 2 1/2 months ago but now all of these systems are back up.
The following systems have Java (or Flash) emulators available:
-Nintendo NES
-Super Nintendo (Flash)
-Game Boy
-Game Boy Color
-Sega Master System
-Sega Game Gear
-Atari 2600
-Commodore 64
-Apple II
For those who don't know, these emulators run without having to install anything extra. As long as you have the latest version of Java or Flash installed, they'll play which means they'll play on any operating system. Some browsers require that you manually approve the various Vizzed servers in order to play the games.
Java Security May Prevent Games From Working
Most likely Java is being blocked which prevents you from playing the games. You'll have to add Vizzed.net, Vizzed.co and Vizzed.com to the list of sites that you're approving. For information on how to do this, go here:

For information, refer to the previous announcement.
As a way to celebrate Pokemon's 20th Anniversary this month, djinn8345, foxyman1113 and I will be streaming Pokemon games probably every Thursday from 2 PM - 4 PM (central time zone) for the rest of the month starting this Thursday.
This Thursday (2/11/2016) we'll be playing Pokemon games on the Game Boy Advance in a competitive type stream. Basically we'll be playing through a few games for probably a half hour each to see who can get the highest score or the furthest (depending on the game).
Next Thursday (2/18/2016) we'll probably be playing Pokemon X & Y for the 3DS as well as Smash Bros for the 3DS (probably do primarily Pokemon matches). Since it'll be the 3 of us, we'll be looking for users to join us to fill in the 4th slot so anyone interested who has these games can play with us (and if you have Skype, you can join our voice call).
I'm not sure what we'll be doing on the final Thursday of this month but when and if we decide on something, I'll be sure to post it here.
I'll be co-hosting the stream on djinn8345's twitch channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/djinn8345
If you miss the streams, I'll be uploading them to my YouTube channel here:

You can earn up to US $100 or 200,000 Viz in the above competition!
On Friday, 1/29/2016, from 4 - 7 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Modern Video Game Music Competition. Around 30 seconds before each song is done, I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of 200,000 Viz and $200 Steam Games to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.
If you can't stick around for the entire thing that's fine but it'd be cool if you could stop by and hang out in the chat for however long you can. It's usually a lot of fun chatting with vizzed users, talking about video games and listening to awesome video game music.
This will probably be the last time I host a music stream and competition like this. All future music competitions and streams will be a bit different.

The Video Game Music feature has come a long way since it launched about a month ago which you can read about here. The Video Game Music can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/music.php
The feature is nearly at 60,000 songs and since there are a ton of songs that need ratings, I'm offer Viz again to those who help out by rating songs. All you have to do is find songs that are good and rate them. Look up songs that you know are good, search the internet for suggestions on what songs are good or search for songs based on system, keywords, etc. If you come across Bad songs or OK songs then feel free to rate them Bad or OK but this offer is for finding good songs and rating them good which means only songs that you rate a 4 or 5 will count. DO NOT RATE RANDOM SONGS, I will be looking through the songs you all rate to make sure you didn't pick random songs!
Here's how much Viz I'll give you guys based on how many songs you rate:
+25 Songs = 5,000 Viz
+50 Songs = 15,000 Viz
+100 Songs = 50,000 Viz
Rating Super Nintendo songs will not count for this offer since I already had an offer for SNES. Songs for all other systems count though!
Once you've rated enough songs to qualify you for Viz, be sure to let me know in the below thread and I'll send you the Viz. Keep in mind that you'll also be automatically earning CP and Viz when you rate these songs so you'll be getting my bonus Viz on top of the regular Viz.

I'm also finished with adding SNES music (for now anyway, only thing left is obscure Japan exclusive SNES games) which means I'll be placing my focus on a new system soon but for the time being, I'll be adding soundtracks that I either really like, that are popular or that users request.
New Video Game Music Features
-The music pages have been optimized even more for mobile devices
-Various adjustments to CP and Viz payout for rating songs
-Lots of other little things here and there not worth mentioning individually
VGM Index Page Related:
-Various adjustments to the trending area toward the bottom
-Added a 'Latest Games' section to the trending area
-I added a 'What's Being Listened to Right Now' toward the bottom of the page which shows what users are listening to (only displays when users are listening to music)
-Drop down menu for each system that has song which lets you view and
-Drop down menu that shows all user created playlists
Song Pages:
-Now display a song's bitrate
Playlist Related:
-Ability to
-Ability to
-Ability to choose default order of songs in your playlists
-Playlists now show accurate information (such as total duration and song count)
-Ability to see what songs you've rated (click the 'Your Rated Songs' link in 'Your Playlists')
More features will be added in the near future which will include the ability to comment on songs and playlists, more search functionality, ability to individually order songs in your playlist and more.
Video Game Music Staff Application
Are you interested in helping us add music to the site by joining the staff? If so, respond to the below thread on why you think you're qualified to help. Here are the requirements:
-Willing to invest at least 5 hours into the site each week
-You are at least 13 years old
-Haven't been banned in the past year
-Be a Trusted Member or have more than 1000 Contribution Points
-Have a good internet connection
Video Game Song Request
Are there any soundtracks you'd like for us to upload? Submit your requests to the below thread and we'll work on getting it added as soon as we can. You can request a soundtrack for just about any system. However, I'll be adding just about every song for every game for GBA, N64, Genesis, SMS, NES, GB, GBC and TG over the next few months and I'll be working on them in a specific order so any songs requested for those systems may not get added right away.

The Winter Netplay tournament on Vizzed has had the same format ever since it began 2 years ago but for the first time we're doing a system that isn't the Nintendo NES; we're finally doing the Super NES.
Here's how it works. Everyone starts out in the "winners" bracket and if you lose, you go on to the "losers" bracket and if you lose in the losers bracket, you're out of the tournament. At the very end, the winner of the winners bracket and the winner of the losers bracket play each other but the winner of the losers bracket has to beat the winner of the winners bracket twice (this makes it fair to the user who went undefeated for going undefeated).
Since this is a double elimination tournament, there is no way for me to know how long it'll last since the amount of people who sign up determines how long it'll last but if I were to take a guess, I'd say around 6 weeks. I will allow any number of users to join but we will need an even number. Bye weeks may be handed out to users who do very well if needed in order to balance out the structuring of the brackets.
We'll be playing various multiplayer games for the Super Nintendo. In each weekly matchup, you'll be able to pick which games you want to play against your weekly opponent. Some of those games include Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter II, Ms. Pac-Man, Super Bomberman 5, NBA Jam, Micro Machines 2, and more. The goal is to have 1 or 2 games from each of the major genres and each game should only take between 5-15 minutes (so games like Monopoly are out of the question). If you want to recommend additional games for this tournament, do so in this thread https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=91734
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-SNES Netplay must work fine for you
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = US $50 or 100,000 Viz
2nd = US $25 or 50,000 Viz
3rd = US $10 or 20,000 Viz
4th = 10,000 Viz
5th = 5,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Penalty:
If you fail to play 2 or more of your matches, you'll be added to the netplay ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament for at least a year. You'll also have 10,000 Viz deducted from your account.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, January 11th (or once we get 128 users).
If you want to enter, respond to this thread:

The PlayStation item is 50,000 Viz and it gives you access to play nearly 2,500 PlayStation games. We have just about every PS1 game ever made on the site and also a lot of rare unreleased stuff as well. The games play great and the majority of the games work! Below you'll find a few ways that you can quickly earn that 50,000 Viz today (be sure to click the links for more information). Even if you already have the PlayStation item, you can still do these offers if you want to earn lots of Viz.
Help out Vizzed = Earn 10,000+ Viz!
This thread has tons of different ways that I'm offering users to earn Viz simply by helping out Vizzed.
Rate my Super Mario Maker Levels = 10,000 Viz
This should take no more than 20 minutes of your time! Even if you've done this before, there are new levels added that you can rate for more Viz.
Star My Levels in Super Mario Maker = 20,000 Viz
This offer requires access to the Super Mario Maker game but has a huge payout and requires very little time. Even if you've done this before, there are new levels added that you can star for more Viz.
Vizzed Market Forum
This forum has tons of threads created by various users and myself allowing anyone to earn lots of Viz.
Donating
Of course the quickest way to earn Viz is by donating to the site. The site has been struggling financially for a while now and I've been having troubles keeping up with paying the RGR Plugin developer. You can earn 10,000 Viz for each US $10 that you donate so if you have anything to spare, please consider it.
Submitting Site Content
You can earn both Viz and CP when you submit various forms of content to the site.
If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know in this thread:

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It's not quite Christmas yet but I always like to make sure everyone in all time zones get this before Christmas.
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to Vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'. Be sure to visit the site each day to claim your random Viz gift!
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
The Retro Game Room has 70+ Christmas games. You can find them all here:

Christmas Video Game Music
I put together a playlist of Christmas songs that I found in the Video Game Music feature which I recently added to the website here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/music.php?playlist=4#player1?catid=0&trackid=0
Earn an easy 2500 Viz
A few years ago I put together a video highlighting 12 Christmas games (non hacked):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbh8UIMMj8
I'll give you 2500 Viz for liking and commenting on the above YouTube video. Let me know in the below thread once you've done this.
Tell your friends about the site and earn lots of Viz
From now until the end of the year, if you refer 10 people to the site, I'll give you 50,000 Viz on top of the 5000+ Viz that you'll automatically get for referring them (enough for the PlayStation item which grants you access to PlayStation games). In other words, you'll earn 50,000+ Viz for referring 10 of your friends to the site. There's a ton of kids on Christmas break, a lot of them may be looking for something to do, why not introduce them to Vizzed? Once you've referred the users (and they've registered), let me know in the below thread.
Christmas Streams
There's going to be a few users doing live streams of Christmas games over the next few days, possibly including myself. You can find a list of Twitch Streamers on Vizzed here:

On Wednesday, 12/23/2015, from 5 - 7 PM (central time zone), I'll be hosting a Christmas themed stream which will involve rating submissions to the Christmas Music Competition, Mario Paint Christmas 2 Competition, and Christmas Minecraft Competition.
I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of 200,000 Viz and $200 worth of Steam Games to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the raffles, all you have to do is vote on the submissions of the various Christmas competitions. You can find a list of selectable steam games here:

The netplay lobby and the chat rooms are back up. Due to the server migration I did recently (which you can read about here), it resulted into the chat room having to start over again and me having to set it up again.
It needs a lot of configuring and it also needs staff to be assigned as mods. Globals and Admins should PM me the password they'd like to use so that I can set them up their accounts.
The Minecraft server has been working with the IP Vizzed.co for the past few days now but I figured I'd mention it for those who didn't know it was back up and running.
Most other site services should be functioning properly again but if not, please be sure to let me know right away in this thread:

Win $75 in Vizzed Minecraft Competition
The Autumn Minecraft Competition has barely any submissions so far so there's still a huge opportunity for users to walk away with cash prizes by creating anything Christmas themed on the Vizzed Minecraft Server. The competition ends on December 23rd and has a $75, $25 and $10 cash prize. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90649
NOTE: The MC server has been down for the past few days but is back up under the IP of 162.214.2.210. You'll be able to get on using the IP Vizzed.co within the next few days but for the time being, log on to the server using 162.214.2.210.
The site has only received $40 worth of donations over the past 30 days and that's the small donation amount in a 30 day period the site has ever received in the past 3+ years. Without donations, the site has no ability to expand in ways that I'd like and that also leaves me with no budget to get RGR Plugin updates.
Thanks to everyone's donations from a few months ago, we were able to get Google Chrome support added to the RGR Plugin in version 2.40. Thanks to tom760's willingness to do some work for me for free on the plugin, we were able to get Windows XP support added in version 2.41. Even if you can only donate $10, every little bit helps out and if enough users donate small amounts, it adds up.
What RGR Plugin Features Do You Want?
To help me prioritize what should be added next, please vote in the poll in this thread (multi-voting is enabled) and also feel free to respond with any feedback.
Benefits of Donating
-Access to PlayStation games with the PlayStation item for 50,000 Viz
-Access to beta systems with the Beta Test Ticket for 10,000 Viz
-Faster game downloads with the Game Accelerator for 15,000 Viz
-And many other features obtainable from the site's Item Shop

Breakdown of all the possible new features if we get enough donations
More Systems to support Video Recording
Most of the game systems on vizzed allow you to press a single button and record your gameplay but not every system support it. N64, Sega CD and a few others don't currently support it.
Ability to have 2 plugin instances at the same time
This would allow you to have 2 instances of the RGR Plugin open at the same time. Now it would require a fast computer to have 2 instances open at the same time but this would basically allow you and another user to see eachother's games. You'd be playing in your game in your instance and you'd be able to see their game in their instance. This would be great for if you want to play through a single player game with someone else, show someone how to do something or race each other to see who can beat the game the fastest in real time.
Add DOS Games
This would allow us to add those old PC games known as DOS games. So basically most PC games released between 1981 and 1995 (and some between 1995-2000) would be capable of being added to the site.
Upgraded Plugin Architecture for External System Loading
This Plugin architecture upgrade would allow the plugin to load systems on demand. This would allow the plugin to be only 1 MB and basically each time you play a system for the first time, that systems files would download when you go to play that game. The huge benefit to this would be that it'd allow us to

This is a surprise feature I've been working on for the past few weeks that I've only told a few users about and it's already mostly finished! Vizzed finally has video game music!

For the time being there's only Super Nintendo songs but I do plan to continue adding more systems over the course of a few months and I may even open up a staff application asking for users to help out.
If you want to view a soundtrack for a single game, every game that has a soundtrack available will have a link to the soundtrack from its game page in both the RGR and VGR.
Here are some features that I've added so far:
-Ability to rate songs (earn 50 Viz & 0.5 CP per a song)
-Ability to create playlists (250-500 Viz & 2.5 CP - 5 when rated)
-Ability to rate playlists (earn 100 Viz & 1 CP)
-Plenty of stats
-Lots of search and filter features
-Ability to playlist page look from 'Edit Page' link (this is in beta so be careful)
-Player itself has lots of features like shuffle, loop, search within, etc
-The feature works great on mobile devices like tablets and cell phones
Features I plan to add in the near future:
-More searching and navigation features
-Ability to
-Ability to see what songs you rated
-Ability to comment on songs
-Playlist editing features including:
--Ability to manually sort the songs
--Ability to have songs ordered based on name, rating, length, etc
--Ability to change how the music player functions and looks on your playlist page
--Ability to rename your playlist
Earn up to 50,000 Viz
I need as many good songs rated as possible so that users can find highly rated songs making it easier to find great songs. I'm willing to pay out lots of Viz to users who rate songs that they like. You can either go through random songs seeing what you like, look up songs that you know you like or do research on the internet to find highly rated songs and then find those songs in this feature and rate them. However you go about this, DO NOT RATE RANDOM SONGS without knowing what they sound like. The last thing I want is for users to go through and mess up the rating system by just picking random songs and giving them a random rating. Only songs that you rate a 4 or 5 will count. I will be looking through the songs you all rate to make sure you didn't pick random songs!
Here's how much Viz I'll give you guys based on how many songs you rate:
+25 Songs = 5,000 Viz
+50 Songs = 15,000 Viz
+100 Songs = 50,000 Viz
Once you've rated enough songs to qualify you for Viz, be sure to let me know in the below thread and I'll send you the Viz. Keep in mind that you'll also be automatically earning CP and Viz when you rate these songs so you'll be getting my bonus Viz on top of the regular Viz.

The report abuse function has been renamed to report post. The function itself has not changed but hopefully the name change will make it more obvious as to its use.

Win $75 in Vizzed Minecraft Competition
The Autumn Minecraft Competition has no no submissions yet so there's still a huge opportunity for users to walk away with cash prizes by creating anything Christmas themed on the Vizzed Minecraft Server. The competition ends on December 21st and has a $75, $25 and $10 cash prize. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90649
On Monday, 11/30/2015, from 5 - 7 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Hack and Homebrew Music Competition. Around 30 seconds before each song is done, I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of 200,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.
If you can't stick around for the entire thing that's fine but it'd be cool if you could stop by and hang out in the chat for however long you can. It's usually a lot of fun chatting with vizzed users, talking about video games and listening to awesome video game music.

Chat Rooms Back Up
The Chat Rooms are back up which also includes the netplay lobby. Unfortunately I was unable to transfer the files from the old server to the new server for some reason. I invested a few hours into this with no luck. This basically means that all of the chat room settings have been reset and all user chat room stats have been reset. The accumulated chat room minutes on your profile are still the same.
The staff are in the process of trying to get the chat room back to how it was. We'll be trying to adjust the settings to match the old settings over the next few days and we'll also be adding back some of the old rooms. The chat room may run better now and be more stable.
Vizzed Minecraft Server Back Up
The Vizzed Minecraft Server is up and running again. Nothing was lost and the server should definitely be faster and more stable (of course your own computer's performance ultimately determines how well it runs).
I've also launched the Autumn Minecraft Competition which is Christmas themed so be sure to take a look at that for a chance at some nice prizes: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90649
File downloads for non-CD games and some CD games should be faster over the next few days. I'm not sure whether this will be a permanent change or not but most likely these speeds will only be temporary (and eventually exclusive to staff members and users with the download accelerator).
I've still got a few more things to take care of but I'll be taking care of those things later this week. Those additional things include adding and removing netplay servers, fixing various things that need to be fixed due to the transfer and adjusting how and where the files are retrieved.
If you have any questions or feedback, please go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90494
All CD games should now work! PC-FX, Turbo Grafx CD, CDi and Sega CD were transferred and made available again sometime yesterday. The transferring of Sega Saturn took place around 36 hours ago and was just made live now. PlayStation was made available again a few days ago which I posted an announcement about already.
The Vizzed Minecraft Server, Chat Rooms and a few other services will most likely be available tomorrow. The migration of those services takes some custom configuration which can be a little time consuming. The Minecraft Server files have all been transferred and extracted but for some reason I still can't get it to work; I'll continue looking into the issue tomorrow and will hopefully have it working again.
Over the next few days I'll also be making some adjustments to how the Game Accelerator item works. I'll also be adding 1 or 2 new netplay servers and taking down 1 or 2 of the current (hopefully the new ones run better).
Thanks again for everyone's patience and please be sure to take a look at my previous announcements if you haven't already. If you have any questions or feedback, please post it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90494
PlayStation games are finished transferring and are available to be played again! Well technically some of the games have been available for a while since the games have been transferring for the past few days but they're basically almost all finished transferring now.
The transferring of the other CD games will begin tonight and will probably take until Sunday to finish transferring. The next CD system that I'll be working on will probably be the Sega Saturn so you can probably expect them to become available again Saturday night.
The main Chat Rooms are still down (including the Netplay Lobby chat) but I'll hopefully get them back up over the next 2-3 days. The Vizzed Minecraft server is still down since I'm having troubles transferring it over to the new server due to the size. There are probably a few other lesser known services that I'm forgetting to mention that are still down but I'll be sure to let everyone know as I get each down service back up.
Again, I apologize for all of the inconveniences lately and as a way to make it up to everyone, PlayStation games will be available to everyone for 0 Viz for the rest of the month. For more information on that, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90586
My host finally got back to me with instructions on how I can fix the problem myself but it's kinda too late since I'm already in the process of migrating the file server to a new host. The full migration could take anywhere between a few days to an entire week but I'll focus on finding solutions in the mean time to bring up some of the other services quicker. Here's a break down of the possible benefits:
-Faster Game Downloads
-Faster and more reliable Minecraft Server
-Faster and more reliable Chat Room
-A new netplay server which could be faster and more reliable than the current
-Enough space to potentially add more CD systems in the future without having to worry about upgrading
2 services that I was able to bring back up today include the game chat (and netplay chat) and the cometchat bar (for those who have access to it). Those services were previously hosted on the vizzed.co server but I've moved them to the vizzed.com server and after doing so, they actually function so much better now (response time is amazing)! When the new vizzed.co server is set up, I'll be placing those services back on vizzed.co but if it doesn't run as well on the new server compared to how well it currently is running, then I may just leave it on the vizzed.com server.
In the mean time, I'm going to try and get the CD systems up and running within the next few days. I apologize for the delay and I appreciate everyone's patience (those who had patience anyway). This was so sudden and completely out of my control.
If you have any questions or feedback or just want to stay up to date, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90494
One of the Vizzed servers are currently inaccessible which means the following services are unavailable:
-Most CD systems *
-The Game Chat
-Chat Rooms
-Vizzed Minecraft Server
-Cometchat Bar
*Most CD systems includes PlayStation, Sega CD, Turbo Grafx CD, Sega Saturn, CD-i and PC-FX. Dreamcast games will work since they're located on a different server.
All of the games were previously down for any staff member and user with the Download Accelerator all morning but I just made it so that all files are being downloaded from one of the still working servers but our CD systems aren't located on that server which is why I wasn't able to bring back up the CD systems.
The issue is a DNS related issue. I've been working on the issue and this server is 1 of 2 servers that I still host with Godaddy. I spent quite a while on the phone talking with grumpy tech support and they weren't able to help me resolve the issue. I'll hopefully have it taken care of within the next 24-48 hours.

The PlayStation item is currently 30,000 Viz for the rest of the month as you can see here. Once the month ends, the item will go back to the regular price of 50,000 Viz.
The PlayStation item on Vizzed gives you access to play nearly 2500 PlayStation games without having to spend any additional Viz. We have just about every PS1 game ever made on the site and also a lot of rare unreleased stuff as well. The games play great and the majority of the games work! Below you'll find a few ways that you can quickly earn that 30,000 Viz today (be sure to click the links for more information). Even if you already have the PlayStation item, you can still do these offers if you want to earn lots of Viz.
Rate my Super Mario Maker Levels = 9,000 Viz
This should take no more than 15 minutes of your time!
Star My Levels in Super Mario Maker = 18,000 Viz
This offer requires access to the Super Mario Maker game but has a huge payout and requires very little time.
Help out Vizzed = Earn 10,000+ Viz!
This thread has tons of different ways that I'm offering users to earn Viz simply by helping out Vizzed.
Vizzed Market Forum
This forum has tons of threads created by various users and myself allowing anyone to earn lots of Viz.
Donating
Of course the quickest way to earn Viz is by donating to the site. The site has been struggling financially for a while now and I've been having troubles keeping up with paying the RGR Plugin developer. You can earn 10,000 Viz for each US $10 that you donate so if you have anything to spare, please consider it.
Submitting Site Content
You can earn both Viz and CP when you submit various forms of content to the site.

Vizzed RGR Plugin 2.40 is ready for download! This is the first official non-beta release to fully support Google Chrome after Google Chrome discontinued NPAPI plugins. In other words, if you use Google Chrome, this plugin upgrade should allow you to play RGR Plugin games without any problems.
For all browsers, this release also contains a ton of bug fixes, should run smoother and should also start up faster. This release most likely will become a mandatory download in order to play RGR Plugin games eventually.

Breakdown of all the possible new features if we get enough donations
More Systems to support Video Recording
Most of the game systems on vizzed allow you to press a single button and record your gameplay but not every system support it. N64, Sega CD and a few others don't currently support it.
Ability to have 2 plugin instances at the same time
This would allow you to have 2 instances of the RGR Plugin open at the same time. Now it would require a fast computer to have 2 instances open at the same time but this would basically allow you and another user to see eachother's games. You'd be playing in your game in your instance and you'd be able to see their game in their instance. This would be great for if you want to play through a single player game with someone else, show someone how to do something or race each other to see who can beat the game the fastest in real time.
Add DOS Games
This would allow us to add those old PC games known as DOS games. So basically most PC games released between 1981 and 1995 (and some between 1995-2000) would be capable of being added to the site.
Upgraded Plugin Architecture for External System Loading
This Plugin architecture upgrade would allow the plugin to load systems on demand. This would allow the plugin to be only 1 MB and basically each time you play a system for the first time, that systems files would download when you go to play that game. The huge benefit to this would be that it'd allow us to

The 'Muddled Valorous Punks' consists of Zlinqx and Vanelan while the Vizzéteers consists of Davideo7, Foxyman1113 and lilwildwolf21.
The league started with 10 teams for a total of 22 users. Some teams had a backup player who could fill in at any time but all games consisted of 2 vs 2. Throughout the entire tournament, there were 3 systems with 3 games per a system and each team each week got to veto 1 system and the games in the remaining system were the games played between those 2 teams that week.
The selected system for the final matchup is Turbo Grafx and the potential games that will played include Final Match Tennis, Bomberman '94 and Moto Roader. It's best out of 3 so if each team wins a game, then all 3 games will be played. Vizzéteers has the higher seed so they'll get to pick which game gets played first. The final matchup will last around 1 hour. The winning team shares the $100 prize and the losing team shares the $50 prize.
The matchup will be live on my Twitch channel here:

On Friday, 8/28/2015, from 2 - 5 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Arcade Music Competition. Around 30 seconds before each song is done, I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $200 worth of steam games and/or 200,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the cash and Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.
If you win a raffle, you get to choose whether you want the Viz prize or whether you want to pick a steam game from a list of steam games which I'll provide sometime before the event begins. If you can't stick around for the entire thing that's fine but it'd be cool if you could stop by and hang out in the chat for however long you can. It's usually a lot of fun chatting with vizzed users, talking about video games and listening to awesome video game music.

Over the past 2 weeks I've done a lot of updates to the Retro Game Room and the Video Game Room. Below you can find links relating to what I've done and what I plan to do.
New Index for Retro Game Room & Video Game Room

The New Vizzed Experience and Why It's Necessary
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=89049
FYI: The site tends to get slow at around 3 AM - 7 AM (central time) due to search engine bot traffic.
Around 10 hours ago the PLAY GAME links on the game pages stopped working for some users. They should be fixed now.
This is something that happened from an update I made to the new game pages which will hopefully go live sometime today.
If you have any questions, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=89282
Does your stream need a boost in traffic? Help me out and I'll help you out in this limited offer!
Here's what I'm offering
Your stream will display in all of the pages of the RGR (excluding game pages) for 2 hours which should drive lots of traffic to your stream during that time. You should be able to see a boost in traffic of up to 50 viewers at a time! You could potentially get a lot of followers as well if your stream is entertaining enough and if you involve your viewers in some way.
Twitch and Hitbox streamers both qualify for this offer. However, for Twitch streamers, I'll also host your channel on my channel during the 2 hours which could potentially get some of my viewers to check out your channel. I've got 355 followers so it could help. You can find my channel here: http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
Restrictions
The times available for you to choose from include any weekday at any time between 1 PM and 1 AM central time. You should give me a notice at least 4 hours in advance (or 12 if your notice takes place between 1 AM and 10 AM central time). This is also first come first serve so if someone claims a time slot before you, you'll have to pick a different time slot.
Requirements
To qualify for this offer, you must play netplay games for the entire 2 hours. You can netplay any game but if possible, I'd prefer it if users netplayed PlayStation and/or MAME games during their stream but you can netplay anything if you want. You can either netplay with viewers, with friends or with anyone willing to join you.
You also need to have the play game frame displayed while you're streaming. The frame shows that the game is being played on vizzed and is self advertisement and the frame also shows people in the chat that you're playing with.
Viz Cost
It'll cost 20,000 Viz to have your stream promoted for 2 hours so you'll want to send that to me from my profile. You can have your stream promoted up to 2 times but if you choose to have it promoted a 2nd time, it'll cost 50,000 Viz. Normally I'd charge way more Viz for this since it basically takes away from ad revenue but since it involves promoting the RGR and netplay, I'm willing to take a loss.
Benefits of Streaming RGR Games
Beyond this offer, there are plenty of benefits to streaming RGR games.
First of all you can earn 3-9 CP and 600-1800 Viz for each hour your stream (depending on your partnership level) and even more if you have a higher CP multiplier. More information can be found on this page: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/contributionpoints.php
Second of all, any time you're streaming an RGR game, your stream will be promoted on the RGR search pages (in that scrolling content area) and also on the stream page. Streaming non-RGR games will also do this for you as well but users who are streaming RGR games get a higher priority over those who don't (which means that if many users are streaming, the RGR game streamers will have their stream shown).
Get Your Stream Added to Vizzed
If you haven't had your stream added to vizzed yet, you can do so by sending me 1000 Viz and responding to this thread: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69017
I'm hoping this offer helps out those who stream RGR games and also helps promote the netplay features on vizzed. If you have any questions or want to take advantage of this offer, please let me know here:

Djinn8345 (aka lilwildwolf) and I are childhood friends but he moved pretty far away a few years ago so we haven't seen each other since. He's coming back down to our childhood town (where I still live) this week so we thought it'd be fun for him to come over to my house and play some local multiplayer games and stream ourselves doing so. He'll also be bringing his cousin Foxyman1113 with to join in on the fun and this will be the first time him and I have ever met in person.
We'll be mainly focusing on local multiplayer games that vizzed doesn't support netplay on to take advantage of the fact that we'll all be hanging out in real life. Systems will include the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast and games will include Saturn Bomberman and others. I have the VGA Box for my Dreamcast and I also have a SCART cable and adapter for my Saturn so I'll be able play and output those in HD. If you want recommend a game from my personal game collection for us to play, go here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1
The stream will be on Saturday, 8/1/2015, and will begin at 2:30 PM central time. It will be streamed here:

Sign up now to our annual Tecmo Super Bowl tournament. I know our Team tournament just began a few weeks ago but the Tecmo Super Bowl tournaments last the longest of all the tournaments I hold each year since it lasts as long as the NFL season. This year it'll be 4 weeks longer because this time it will begin when the NFL's preseason begins which is August 13th.
Previous Winners:
2014 Winner: MattyIce
2013 Winner: boomer1709
2012 Winner: thubtengendun0
This tournament will last for 24 weeks. The first 4 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate) and it'll also help determine who plays who during the regular games. The next 16 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final matchup which is our Super Bowl.
Since 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2016' wont be released when this tournament begins, we'll be using 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2015' for the first 4 weeks and then we'll be using 'Tecmo Super Bowl 2016' once the regular season begins.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo NES games
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 250,000 Viz
2nd = 100,000 Viz
3rd = 50,000 Viz
Signup ends and tournament begins on Thursday, August 13th.

Breakdown of all the possible new features if we get enough donations
More Systems to support Video Recording
Most of the game systems on vizzed allow you to press a single button and record your gameplay but not every system support it. N64, Sega CD and a few others don't currently support it.
Ability to have 2 plugin instances at the same time
This would allow you to have 2 instances of the RGR Plugin open at the same time. Now it would require a fast computer to have 2 instances open at the same time but this would basically allow you and another user to see eachother's games. You'd be playing in your game in your instance and you'd be able to see their game in their instance. This would be great for if you want to play through a single player game with someone else, show someone how to do something or race each other to see who can beat the game the fastest in real time.
Add DOS Games
This would allow us to add those old PC games known as DOS games. So basically most PC games released between 1981 and 1995 (and some between 1995-2000) would be capable of being added to the site.
Upgraded Plugin Architecture for External System Loading
This Plugin architecture upgrade would allow the plugin to load systems on demand. This would allow the plugin to be only 1 MB and basically each time you play a system for the first time, that systems files would download when you go to play that game. The huge benefit to this would be that it'd allow us to
More Systems
What additional systems would you like to see added?
Google Chrome Support
Google Chrome is slowly moving away from NPAPI plugins (and doesn't support it with the default settings) which is the type of plugin the RGR Plugin is. While it is possible to make the RGR Plugin work in Google Chrome as seen here, the upcoming September

Summer 2015 Netplay Tournament: Teams = Win $100!
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=88110
The tournament has been postponed by a week since we still don't have enough users to sign up. If anyone is at all interested, please sign up. If you don't have a team, you can still sign up and I'll make a team for you. Keep in mind that this tournament doesn't have a set time or day that you do your matchup, you and your weekly opponent each week will come up with a time that works best for both teams.
Some of the games we'll be playing include:
Playstation:
-Bomberman World
-Micro Machines V3
-Crash Bash
Turbo Grafx:
-Bomberman '94
-Final Match Tennis
-Moto Roader
Super Nintendo:
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament
-Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge
-Super Bomberman 4 (English Translation)
Pretty much anyone can join the tournament. If you don't own the PlayStation item, you can still join the tournament since you do not need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. It's a great way for those who don't have it to get in on some PlayStation action!
Shenmue III has been a game that fans like myself have been waiting for since 2001 (2002 for Xbox owners) so when it was announced that it'll be coming out and will be backed by Kickstarter funding, that was a very big deal. The Kickstarter page ends in 2 weeks and so I had some fun ideas to celebrate Shenmue III finally being a reality and to bring attention to the series hoping that more people become fans of the game.
All versions of Shenmue I & II Available to Everyone for 0 Viz
Shortly after Dreamcast games were added to Vizzed, I made all of the Shenmue games cost 0 Viz because I really want everyone to experience the game. Just now I also made it so that you no longer need the Beta Test Ticket (which costs 10,000 Viz) to play the games. The reason that Dreamcast games currently require a Beta Test Ticket is because the games haven't all been tested yet and when I introduce new features to the site, they go into a beta state until they've been fully tested.
Earn Double CP & Viz for Submitting Content to the Shenmue game pages
For the next 2+ weeks, or until July 20th, you'll earn twice the CP and Viz when you submit content to any of the Shenmue game pages (Walkthroughs will qualify longer).
Affected actions include:
-Review
-Screenshot Submission
-Video Submission
-Walkthrough (double CP & Viz until August 1st)
-Game Content and Game Content Request
-Game Streaming (may not work properly)
Additional actions affected include: Game Rated, Graphic Adding, Moving Ebay Listing, Removing Ebay Listing, Review Rating, Screenshot Edit, Screenshot Rating, Video Edit and Video Rating.
Shenmue Games on Vizzed
Below are all of the versions of Shenmue we have on the site. The above
Shenmue
Shenmue (recommended)
This is the version of Shenmue that everyone in the United States grew up playing. If you don't plan to play Shenmue II on vizzed or don't care about transferring your save file, then play this version.
Shenmue (PAL)
This is the version of Shenmue that was released in the UK. I'm not sure what the differences are with this version but the only reason you'd want to play this version instead of the US release is so that you can transfer your save file from Shenmue I to Shenmue II. I'm pretty sure that with both versions of Shenmue II on vizzed you can load your Shenmue I save file so that you can transfer items you've collected.
Shenmue II
Shenmue II (English Translation) (recommended)
This is the PAL version except in English. Basically someone ripped the audio from the Xbox version of Shenmue II (which was in English) and dumped it into this version so that anyone can experience Shenmue II in full English on the Dreamcast.
Shenmue II (PAL)
Shenmue II was never actually released in the United States so the only way to play Shenmue II was either by importing it or by playing it on the Xbox. This version is in Japanese with English subtitles.

On Tuesday, 6/30/2015, from 2 - 8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the 8-Bit Music Competition. Around 30 seconds before each song is done, I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $300 worth of steam games and/or 300,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the cash and Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.
If you win a raffle, you get to choose whether you want the Viz prize or whether you want to pick a steam game from a list of steam games which I'll provide sometime before the event begins. Since this will be by far the longest music stream I've ever hosted, there will be a lot more stuff handed out compared to previous music streams (but unfortunately no cash prizes this time since I'm broke).
I don't expect anyone to stick around for the full 6 hours but if you're free during any of this time (even if it's just a half hour), feel free to stop by and hang out in the chat. It's usually a lot of fun chatting with vizzed users, talking about video games and listening to awesome video game music.

This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This is the 3rd year I've hosted a teams tournament. You can find the results of previous years here:
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Wins
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Wins
This tournament will last for 12 weeks. The first 3 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate). The next 5 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final game.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is. Your team may also contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to replace them.
The games that this tournament will involve (I'll be adding more later):
Turbo Grafx:
-Bomberman '94
-Final Match Tennis
-Moto Roader
Super Nintendo:
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament
-Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge
Nintendo NES:
-Super Spike V'Ball
Playstation:
-Bomberman World
-Micro Machines V3
-Crash Bash
We're doing things slightly different this year. The games will be grouped by system and each week a team can veto a system which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 200,000 Viz or US $100
2nd = 100,000 Viz or US $50
3rd = 50,000 Viz
(teams will share the prize)
Penalty:
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, July 6th.
If you want to enter, reply to the below thread with your team name, who the leader of the team is and who is on your team. If you don't have a team or can't find one, respond to the below thread saying that you want to form a team with someone and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.

Summer 2015 Newsletter
The Summer 2015 Newsletter has begun rolling out today and should take up to 2-3 weeks to deliver to everyone. This newsletter basically just highlights all of the big site updates and RGR Plugin updates that have taken place over the past 6 months so there's nothing real special in it for those of you who use the site daily and read the announcements and also read the threads posted in the news forum. Just in case you don't receive it though and wanted to see what it contained, my next post will contain the contents of the newsletter.
The great thing about these newsletters is that it helps increase the site's traffic a little by reminding users that Vizzed.com still exists and by letting them know of updates that may interest them. Hopefully over the next 2+ weeks we'll see old veterans come back and an increase in traffic, which is something the site desperately needs since it has been struggling lately financially (it's definitely not cheap to pay for the site servers and RGR Plugin updates).
Help Out Vizzed = 5000 Viz!
Here's how you can help out vizzed. If you ever received an email from vizzed, there's a good chance it may have gone to your junk or spam box. If you still have the email, simply mark it as safe if the option is available. In hotmail you'd click 'Wait, it's safe', in gmail and yahoo you'd click 'Not Spam' (the link to click may vary for other email providers). If you can't find any emails sent from one of the vizzed email addresses then wait until you receive the newsletter and you can do this with that. Respond to the below thread once you've done this.
The reason this is so important is because vizzed.com got on hotmail's block list a few weeks which means that any email sent from a vizzed.com email address was blocked instantly. I was able to contact them and get us removed from the ban but they said that I need to increase the reputation of emails sent from the vizzed servers otherwise I could easily get back on the list. It's very important for me to stay off this ban list and all other ban lists because this basically prevents users signing up from getting their verification email which is really bad. Plus it makes it so users can't recover their password, get newsletters and other various notifications. If we can get the reputation of the vizzed email accounts high enough then the vizzed emails may no longer be automatically sent to the spam/junk box of various email providers.
Now I don't want to get into too much detail but the reason we even got added to hotmail's ban list (and possibly others) is because a bot was using the registration form of vizzed to send out tons of spam emails. Since then I've added a reCAPTCHA to the registration form to prevent bots from abusing it.

The results of these streams will be revealed in my next post so if you want to watch the videos without spoilers, don't read my next post. If you want to find out who won the tournament or if anyone beat Foxyman1113 and I, read my next post.
If you'd like to see Foxyman1113 and I host more events like the Bomberman '94 Showdown event where you have to beat us for a prize, let me know in the below thread! It was a lot of fun and we'd both would definitely do this again sometime either in the same game or a different game. Of course, I wouldn't do a cash prize if we did a different game because I'm not confident in our abilities to defend a cash prize in any other game but if it were a different game, I'd still be willing to offer up a big Viz prize.

2015 Spring Bomberman Tournament = Final Matchup at 3:15 PM Central Time on Wednesday, 6/24/2015
The Bomberman Netplay Tournament which started back in early April will come to an end this Wednesday in the final matchup! Here are the 5 users who made it to the final matchup along with their player number (which also reflects their overall rank) and Bomberman color: Davideo7 (P1: White), Foxyman1113 (P2: Black), deg2000 (P3: Red), Linkums (P4: Blue) and lilwildwolf21 (P5: Green).
The final matchup will last anywhere between 45 minutes and 75 minutes and will consist of rounds. The winner of the tournament gets $200, 2nd place gets $50, 3rd place gets $25 and 4th & 5th get Viz prizes. If you're curious about how this tournament worked and who all competed, you can find more information here.
Here's how the final matchup will work. At the end of each round, the user (or users if there is a tie for last) with the lowest trophy count will be eliminated. We keep doing this until only 1 user stands, which will be our winner. The rules of the final matchup are exactly as they were in last year's final matchup (which can be viewed here). If you miss the stream, I'll be uploading the video to my personal YouTube account here.
The matchup will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
(be sure to 'Follow' my channel so you don't forget)
Defeat Foxyman1113 and Davideo7 & win US $200! Event starts at around 4:30 PM central time on Wednesday, 6/24/2015
As soon as the Bomberman Netplay Tournament ends, there will be a special Bomberman event that'll take place right afterward (just like last year) involving the 2 users who had the highest overall rank in the tournament which is Davideo7 (me) and Foxyman1113. You'll form a team with someone and take us on in a 2 vs 2 match and if you can beat us, you and your teammate get to share the $200 prize!

Vizzed RGR Plugin 2.30 is ready for download! This release primarily consists of bug fixes, an architecture upgrade, better stability and a few other enhancements. Download link can be found at the bottom of this post.
If all goes well as in this version works fine for enough users, this release and the previous 2.25 release will become mandatory upgrades if you're using an earlier release. The reason the previous release will be a mandatory upgrade instead of this one is because there was a huge architecture upgrade within the plugin that took place between 2.25 and 2.30 so it's possible that the new plugin might not function properly for some people. 2.25 will be a mandatory upgrade for many reasons and if for some reason you need to know those reasons, feel free to ask.
List of all the upgrades and enhancements since the 2.25 release
MAME/MESS
We've
FCEUX
This improves the compatibility and playability of NES games.
Forced Game Download if File Size is Different
The plugin now forces a file download if the file size of the downloaded game doesn't match the file size of the game that the user is trying to download. This will also fix the issue where a user plays a game for 1 system and then later plays a game with the same file name for another system but ends up playing the game for that previous system because it has the same file name.
Upgraded Architecture
The plugin process is exe based instead of dll based now which helps increase stability and playability a little. This is beneficial for many reasons but here's 3: 1. It'll be easy to upgrade the plugin in the future to allow multiple instances; 2. When the plugin launches, we can set its process priority which would allow games to run better for some users; 3. It'll make it easier to eventually create a plugin that loads the emulators externally each time you play an emulator for the first time (or when you play it after it's been
Other Various Fixes
-I have more control over MAME/MESS which will help me better fine tune various games systems
-Ability to swap discs in Sega CD (I still have to
-Ability to swap disks for various MESS systems (I still have to
-MESS mouse support (specifically for CD-i)
-Fixed MAME/MESS full screen crunch issue
-Plugin now generates a crash report on your PC here: C:ProgramDataVizzedVizzedRgrPlugin
-Plugin is less likely to crash your internet browser when it crashes
-Improvements to how screenshots and videos are handled with MAME/MESS
-Many other various bug fixes and plugin improvements
Please Help Us Fund More
The site's traffic and revenue continues to drop and so have the donations lately. I was barely able to pay for the site servers this month which is the first time I've struggled to pay for them in probably 2+ years. On top of that, I currently owe Tom for work that he's done lately so I need to work on getting caught up on what I owe him. For those who can afford it, it'd be great if you could donate to the site to help us get a few more features before Tom quits working on the RGR Plugin forever which he says is in the near future.
There's still a lot of features I'd like to get added which includes Google Chrome Support, more systems including DOS and more! You can see a list of what I'd like to get added here:

If you're interested in helping fund RGR Plugin

If you don't have money to donate but have games that you no longer use that you'd be willing to donate to the site that I could resell for profit to put toward the site, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=58552
There are lots of benefits to those who donate including access to more games, access to more systems, access to more features, faster download speeds, etc. I also plan to add lots of other things in the near future which include blocking ads, ability to change name, various upcoming site features, and more!
Thank You tom760 and Staff
I'd like to give another huge thanks to tom760 for his willingness to continue working on the RGR Plugin. Be sure to give him praise via his profile or PM him here:

I'd also like to give a thanks to all of the users and staff members who helped test out all of these betas over the past few months.

There's a lot of news in the gaming community during these weeks and as a way to get more users to submit articles to the site, I'm offering a huge opportunity to earn a ton of Viz and CP!
So how much can you now make for making an article? Well before you could earn up to 12.5 CP and 1250 Viz for writing a 250 word article (which is a lot) but now during this time you can earn 37.5 CP and 3750 Viz for a 250 word article!

You may apply to more than 1 position which increases your chances of getting hired (or if you pick positions that not many users picked) but you'll only be given 1 role to start out with but you can take on more if you're interested later on.
If you're interested in any of these positions, tell me why you want the position and what makes you qualified to do the position in this thread:

My quest continues to obtaining physical copies of games in the Retro Game Room. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include Super Nintendo, Nintendo NES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Genesis, Playstation, Dreamcast, etc. You can basically donate anything to me, even more modern games including DS, Xbox 360, GameCube, Playstation Vita, etc. Any modern game most likely will be resold and the profit put toward the site and future RGR Plugin updates, any retro game donated will go into my personal collection which will help me maintain the legality of the site (duplicates will be resold though). I'll even accept game systems but I'll only accept game accessories that have value or don't take up a lot of space.
I'll pay you 10,000s of Viz for sending me your games!
Here's a few examples of items that you might want to earn Viz for:
10,000 Viz = Netplay item - Allows you to create netplay sessions without paying Viz
25,000 Viz = V-Machine item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games)
50,000 Viz = Laptop item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games). Also allows you to create netplay sessions for 0 Viz.
50,000 Viz = V-Machine CD item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (does include all CD games except Playstation)
50,000 Viz = Playstation item - Allows you to access and play 2,400+ different Playstation games for 0 Viz
You can find a list of items that you can buy that do special things here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
You can donate either retro games or modern games. For any game that I already own that you donate, I'll probably sell them and use the profit to invest into the site. If you donate a Playstation game, not only will I give you Viz for it but I'll also add it as a playable game on the site.
You can of course earn Viz in many other ways, a complete list of ways can be found here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/controlpanel.php?category=help&help=terminology&name=Viz#Viz
Tell me in the following thread what games you're interested in donating, the condition of the games and I'll tell you how much Viz I'd give you for the games:

On Wednesday, 4/29/2015, from 6 - 8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the Dreamcast Game Music Competition. Half way through every song I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $50 and 100,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the cash and Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.

As promised, the Dreamcast games in the Retro Game Room will cost 0 Viz and be accessible to everyone for the rest of the month (which is about 3 1/2 days). The games that you play during this time will not be added to your profile and you will have to pay Viz for them later if you want to play them again.
You can find all of the Dreamcast games that we have to offer here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=dc#searchjump
Keep in mind though that the Dreamcast games can currently only be played with a controller so be sure to plug one in before starting up the games. If you're having troubles downloading a DC game (example, it stops or gets really slow), try it again later or simply try another game. Dreamcast games require a somewhat powerful computer so it's possible that they will not work on your computer. You'll need DirectX 9 installed on your computer which you can get here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35. Lastly, you need RGR Plugin 2.11 or later which you can get here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=8676.
Starting next month, Dreamcast games will require the Beta Test Ticket again which costs 10,000 Viz and can be purchased from the Item Shop. The games will also be back to their normal price which can range anywhere between 250 - 750 Viz so be sure to take advantage of this offer in the final days of "Dreamcast Month".
Special Offer! If you take at least 100 unique screenshots of Dreamcast games between now and the 1st of next month, I'll send you 20,000 Viz which is enough for the Beta Test Ticket and enough to play plenty of Dreamcast games! This is a great opportunity to be able to continue playing games after this month if you're low on Viz. Those 100 screenshots can be in just 1 game or spread among many games, just as long as each screenshot is unique from your other screenshots and unique from the screenshots already submitted to the Dreamcast games. Once you've taken all 100 screenshots, let me know in the below thread.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding anything in this announcement, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=86912
The latest version of Google Chrome has disabled NPAPI plugins by default which means the RGR Plugin no longer works in Google Chrome unless you enable NPAPI plugins. If you want to learn how to continue using the RGR Plugin with Google Chrome, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=86584
Or the other option would be to switch to Firefox. We'll work on getting this issue fixed in a future release.
There's still 12 days left to compete in this month's competitions which means there's plenty of time to earn literally $100s!

Dreamcast Sudden Popularity
The Dreamcast has gained extra popularity over the past few months, plus Vizzed recently got Dreamcast games added to Vizzed so I figured this was a great opportunity to dedicate an entire month to recognizing the Dreamcast and its games. One of the smaller things I plan to do as a way to give the Dreamcast added recognition is to make the game of the week every week this month a Dreamcast game. I also have ideas for other things so be sure to read below.
Vizzed will have a Complete Dreamcast Library
Right now we only have less than 50 Dreamcast games available on the site but I plan to add 100+ Dreamcast games to the site each week this month which means we'll have a complete Dreamcast library before the month ends which will put us 600+ DC games! Dreamcast was added to the RGR Plugin recently so be sure to get the latest RGR Plugin here. You can find our Dreamcast games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=dc
4 Dreamcast Themed Competitions, All with Cash Prizes
This month will have 4 competitions involving Dreamcast games in some way and they'll each have a cash prize so be sure to compete because some of the cash prizes will be big!
Dreamcast Challenge Stream
I'll be doing a 2 hour Dreamcast stream sometime this month where a few users and myself compete in various challenges in various Dreamcast games. More information on this will be provided later this month.
All Dreamcast Games will Cost 0 Viz During the Last Week of the Month
For the entire last week of the month, Dreamcast games will cost 0 Viz so be sure to take advantage of this!
Dreamcast Games Do Not Require the Beta Test ticket this month
For this month only, or at least until all DC games have been thoroughly tested, the Dreamcast games will not require the Beta Test Ticket. The games will require the Beta Test Ticket once the month is over but in a few months none of the DC games will require the ticket since I hope to have every DC game tested within a few months. The reason the DC games currently require the Beta Test Ticket is because there are going to be games that don't work and games that have problem so to avoid many users complaining about games that don't work, this is the best solution to that problem. Be warned though that some games might not work that are available to play so keep that in mind before you spend 100s of Viz on a Dreamcast game.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding all of this, please reply to this thread:

The Nintendo NES 2015 Winter Netplay Tournament which started 2 1/2 months ago is coming to an end Thursday night with the final 2 contestants, Foxyman1113 and Davideo7 (myself), facing off in a bunch of NES games. The matchup could last anywhere between 30 minutes to 2+ hours.
The even will be live streamed on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
We'll be both on our microphones talking while we face each other so be sure to stop by, it should be exciting. Also be sure to follow my channel so that you're reminded when the event begins.
This tournament started with 64 users with a double elimination format. Selectable games include: Balloon Fight, Clu Clu Land, Dig Dug, Dig Dug II - Trouble in Paradise, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong 3, Dr. Mario, Galaga, Marble Madness, Mario Bros, Pac-Man (Tengen), Pinball, Tetris (tengen), Q-Bert and Wario's Woods.
Basically we'll be facing off in sets of 2 games until someone wins both games of a set. We both get to pick 1 game each for every set. We cannot pick the same game twice until every game has been played once. Since I'm in the winner's bracket, I have the advantage of having to lose twice in order to lose the tournament. Basically I'm in the winner's bracket and foxy is in the loser's bracket so technically if I lose the first matchup, I get knocked into the loser's bracket where we face off again.
If you have any questions or feedback, please post in this thread:

You can also find a YouTube playlist with all of the songs (in order of their YouTube rating) here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLM7FKqe6ZEFseocnt4zFx3i-41LD1JNy
On Monday from 5 - 9 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs submitted to the SEGA Game Music Competition. Half way through every song I'll put up a poll which will allow everyone to vote. I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $50 and 100,000 Viz to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize. To qualify for the cash and Viz prizes, all you have to do is vote on the music and follow my channel.

In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
This tournament offers the biggest grand prize of any netplay tournament I've ever hosted so be sure to sign up for a shot at $200, you have nothing to lose! This is also now considered an annual tournament; here are the final results from last year: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. madison, 3rd. AceShock, 4th. Koda, 5th. Forest Dragon.
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points.
Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
Requirements:
-You must be available 2 nights a week between 7 PM - 9 PM central time Tuesday-Friday nights
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. Click here to see if you're on the netplay ban list.
Prizes:
1st = 300,000 Viz or $200
2nd = 75,000 Viz or $50
3rd = 37,500 Viz or $25
4th = 20,000 Viz
5th = 10,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, April 6th.

I've reduced the Viz prices of most of the RGR games and some of the RGR games have reduced by a lot. All of the small sized games have taken a price drop, the medium sized games are around the same (some may have gone up) and the large sized games have taken a huge price drop. For those who don't know, the games in the RGR cost Viz to help me avoid high bandwidth costs but I think I might be able to get away with dropping the prices of these games without any problems.
In return, I've added an ad to the play window while the game is loading. All of the revenue made from this will go to tRIUNE since he does a lot for the site. He currently already shares the site's revenue with me but I wanted to help him out by increasing the amount he gets since he invests way more time on the site than anyone else has over the past few years (excluding me of course). I'll eventually add an item to the item shop which will allow you to disable this ad if you find it annoying but it shouldn't interfere with anything.
One of the main purposes of the Retro Game Room has always been to introduce users to games that they've never experienced. So many of these retro games deserve recognition and if the prices are too high, most users will never be able to experience some of these great games. By dropping the prices the really large games, I'm hoping it encourages users to stick around the site longer by enjoying more games.

Vizzed security is always an ongoing project but things should be back to normal and the current issues should be fixed. Vizzed was hacked but no one needs to worry about any personal information or passwords being leaked. The hacker logged into a few user accounts but after discovering who it was, he was cool enough to reveal to me how he did it so that I could patch the exploit.
I've implemented a lot of new security which includes disabling certain HTML tags from posts, bios and layouts, locking various staff members to a single IP, and completely changing the way that users login info is handled on the site.
Some users may have troubles logging into the site after these updates. If you are one of those users or know of a user who is having troubles, clear your cookies. If that doesn't help, please contact me at davideo7@hotmail.com.
Thanks again for everyone's patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=85704
Vizzed is back up and mostly back to normal. There are a few things that still need fixing but it should be good enough for now. I'll post a more thorough update later once I've finished up everything. Global moderators, you'll want to email me the IP address that you plan to use on vizzed.
Thank you everyone for your patience through all of this and I apologize that it took longer than expected.
The month is about half way over so there's still plenty of time to compete in this month's competitions.

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=58552
Detailed List of
Better Game Playability and Compatibility for Mednafen Games
More games will be playable in Mednafen and more games will have better playability. Mednafen required systems include: Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket (and color), WonderSwan (and color), Virtual Boy, Turbo Grafx, Turby Grafx CD, SueprGrafx, PC-FX, Game Gear, Master System and Playstation. Optional systems include: GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES and Genesis.
Access to Many New Options and Features for Mednafen Games
You'll now have access to so many more features and options while playing games with the Mednafen emulator. Some of these options include:
Spacebar = Speeds up the game
ALT + Spacebar = Slows down the game
Backspace = Lets you rewind the game (but you must enable it first by pressing CTRL+Backspace)
CTRL+F12 = Lets you enter cheat codes (make sure to enable cheats first by pressing F12)
CTRL+Page Up = Lets you change the input device (switch to mouse if game supports mouse)
CTRL+# = Lets you choose a different save slot to save to (where # would be 0-9)
ALT+# = Lets you remove graphics layers (where # would be 1-9)
SHIFT+F3 = Lets you start and stop an emulator movie (CTRL + F3 lets you watch it)
F1 = Shows all of the available options
Cheat Code Support for Mednafen Games
You can now
Emulator Movies
You can now create emulator movies! The awesome thing about an emulator movie is that you can record your gameplay without putting very much strain on your computer. Also, if you choose to use the rewind feature a lot to undo your mistakes, the rewind doesn't get recorded so therefore your emulator movie will not show your mistakes, it'll appear as if you played flawless. Once you've created an emulator movie, use the emulators built in video recording to record the emulator movie and upload the movie as a TAS run (aka Tool Assisted Run). You currently can only save 1 emulator movie per a game but if enough users are interested in this feature and want the ability to save up to 10 per a game, let me know.
Playstation Netplay
You can now play Playstation games with users on vizzed! Now you need to have the Playstation item (costs 50,000 Viz) to access and create Playstation netplay sessions but anyone can join an already created Playstation session! Playstation netplay supports 2-5 players. Some Playstation games require a powerful computer when in a netplay session.
Ability to Change Controllers During Netplay
When you're the session creator (or a staff member), you'll have access to a few extra commands at the bottom right corner of the play window while in a netplay session. You can swap a player's controller with another player which is very convenient, especially if users entered in the wrong order or if a user leaves suddenly. You also have access to a few other commands such as the ability to ping the netplay server.
Dreamcast Support
Probably the number 1 requested feature over the past 2 years. Dreamcast Support has finally been added to the RGR Plugin! These games require a powerful computer and currently lack features such as screenshot taking but it does support full screen (press ALT+Enter a few times) and also saving (but not save states, you save to the "internal memory"). We also haven't added many games yet but I'll work on getting as many games added as I can as soon as I can. Only users with the Beta Test Ticket item (costs 10,000 Viz) can access Dreamcast games currently but they'll be available to everyone soon enough. You can find a list of all the games we currently have here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=dc
Many Other Various Improvements and Additions

Breakdown of all the possible new features if we get enough donations
This would make netplay run better and increase the compatibility and playability of the *mednafen emulated systems. It would also make some games that currently have problems no longer have problems. It'd also add additional new features such as 3-8 player genesis netplay (currently netplay on genesis only supports 2 players), possibly Playstation netplay (for some games for users with powerful computers), possibly working SNES netplay for users who currently have problems, and many other fixes and improvements.
This would increase the compatibility and playability of the Arcade games and also the **MESS emulated systems. It'd also decrease problems for various Arcade and **MESS games and could also allow us to add a few more (mostly older) systems to the site.
MAME/MESS Netplay
This would allow users to play Arcade games online together and also **MESS emulated games together (which would add netplay support to the majority of non-handheld games on vizzed!). There are a lot of great multiplayer Arcade games that are 2-6 players and a lot of them are also coop. I should also point out that with this
MAME/MESS Full Screen Support
This would give you the ability to play Arcade games and **MESS games in full screen mode.
More Systems to support Video Recording
Most of the game systems on vizzed allow you to press a single button and record your gameplay but not every system support it. N64, Sega CD and a few others don't currently support it.
Ability to change controllers during Netplay
This would allow netplayers to change who is 1st player, 2nd player, etc. The session host would have the ability to assign a user (or their own) to a different controller.
Ability to have 2 plugin instances at the same time
This would allow you to have 2 instances of the RGR Plugin open at the same time. Now it would require a fast computer to have 2 instances open at the same time but this would basically allow you and another user to see eachother's games. You'd be playing in your game in your instance and you'd be able to see their game in their instance. This would be great for if you want to play through a single player game with someone else, show someone how to do something or race each other to see who can beat the game the fastest in real time.
MAME/MESS High Score and Speedruns
Currently the MAME and **MESS games do not support High Score or Speedruns; this would change that.
Add DOS Games
This would allow us to add those old PC games known as DOS games. So basically most PC games released between 1981 and 1995 (and some between 1995-2000) would be capable of being added to the site.
Add Dreamcast Games
This would allow us to add Sega Dreamcast games to the site. This would require users to have somewhat powerful computers.
*Mednafen required systems include: Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket (and color), WonderSwan (and color), Virtual Boy, Turbo Grafx, Turby Grafx CD, SueprGrafx, PC-FX, Game Gear, Master System and Playstation. Optional systems include: GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES and Genesis.
**MESS required systems include: C64, Atari 2600, Apple II, MSX, MSX 2, Sega Saturn, CD-i, Intellivision, Colecovision, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Pico, Odyssey 2, PocketStation, Atari Jaguar, SG-1000, Pokemon Mini and SC-3000. MESS is compatible with other systems on the site but currently you cannot play those systems with MESS (I'll add that ability later on).

Screenshot Uploading to Modern Games
You can now upload screenshots to games in the Video Game Room that don't exist in the Retro Game Room (in other words, modern games or games that the RGR Plugin don't support). This is a feature I'm excited about and I'm happy to finally reveal it, I don't think I told anyone about it before or while I was working on it.
For more information, go here:

Earn more Viz and CP from submitting Screenshots
You can now earn more Viz and CP from submitting screenshots and from adding details to those screenshots. Before you only earned 0.2 CP and 20 Viz per a screenshot you submitted to the site which was incredibly low in my opinion (you would've had to submit 50 screenshots to earn 10 CP and 10 CP is suppose to be the equivalent of 1 hour worth of work), especially since users invest a good amount of time finding good screenshot opportunities. The amount of CP and Viz you can earn now is based on how many screenshots you've submitted to the same game and how many details you added to the screenshot.

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/tourdevizzed.php
This is an "Official" Vizzed tournament. As some of you know, I plan to hold 4 a year.
Unlike the last Vizzed Tournament (which will be headed to the final round next week), this tournament will be all elimination rounds, well double elimination to be exact. In other words, lose 2 games and you're out of the tournament.
Everyone starts out in the "winners" bracket and if you lose, you go on to the "losers" bracket and if you lose in the losers bracket, you're out of the tournament. At the very end, the winner of the winners bracket and the winner of the losers bracket play each other but the winner of the losers bracket has to beat the winner of the winners bracket twice (this makes it fair to the user who went undefeated for going undefeated).
Since this is a double elimination tournament, there is no way for me to know how long it'll last since the amount of people who sign up determines how long it'll last but if I were to take a guess, I'd say around 6 weeks. I will allow any number of users to join but we will need an even number. Bye weeks may be handed out to users who do very well if needed in order to balance out the structuring of the brackets.
We'll be playing various multiplayer games for the Nintendo NES. Some of those games include Balloon Fight, Clu Clu Land, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, Dr. Mario, Ice Climber, Mario Bros., Pinball, Urban Champion, Wario's Woods, Wrecking Crew, and more. If you want to recommend additional games for this tournament, do so here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=83253
I held a similar tournament last year at this time. That tournament involved the multiplayer games from NES Remix (Wii-U) and overall it was a very fun and successful tournament with tons of participation (96 users). If you want to get an idea of how this tournament will work, you can view Week 1 of that tournament here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=71377
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = US $100 or 150,000 Viz
2nd = US $50 or 75,000 Viz
3rd = US $25 or 37,500 Viz
4th = 20,000 Viz
5th = 10,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Penalty:
If you fail to play 2 or more of your matches, you'll be added to the netplay ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament for at least a year. You'll also have 10,000 Viz deducted from your account.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, January 12th (or once we get 128 users).
If you want to enter, respond to this thread:

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It's not quite Christmas yet but I always like to make sure everyone in all time zones get it before Christmas Eve.
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'.
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
The Retro Game Room has 64 Christmas games, 14 of them added in the past year. You can find them all here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?sort=best&search=Christmas&searchBy=theme
Earn an easy 1000 Viz
A few years ago I put together a video highlighting 12 Christmas games (non hacked):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbh8UIMMj8
I'll give you 1000 Viz for liking and commenting on the above YouTube video. Let me know in the below thread once you've done this.
Tell your friends about the site and earn lots of Viz
From now until the end of the year, if you refer 10 people to the site, I'll give you 20,000 Viz on top of the 5000+ Viz that you'll automatically get for referring them. In other words, you'll earn 25,000+ Viz for referring 10 of your friends to the site. There's a ton of kids on Christmas break, a lot of them may be looking for something to do, why not introduce them to Vizzed? Once you've referred the users (and they've registered), let me know in the below thread.
Christmas Streams
There's going to be a few users doing live streams of Christmas games over the next few days, including myself. You can find a list of Twitch Streamers on Vizzed here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/netplaysessions.php
Also be sure to follow the streamers you like.
Holy Bible on Vizzed
You can now read the entire King James Version of the Bible on Vizzed! This is a project I've been working on for my other site http://www.mybiblegames.com/ on and off for about a week or so now so think of this as an expansion of that site on Vizzed rather than an expansion of Vizzed. Vizzed is a Christian friendly site but not a Christian site, I respect the atheists of this site enough to not take vizzed in that direction but it definitely doesn't hurt the site to merge a little with MyBibleGames.

This month's RGR Competitions are about half way over so there's still plenty of time to compete. Most of these competitions have had very little competition so if you have a few hours to spare and are in need of some cash, you might as well compete in whichever one of these you think you'd have the best chance at placing. Keep in mind that you don't have to take first place in these competitions to earn cash, there are cash prizes for the other places as well.

The Vizzed Minecraft Server has been fixed and has been updated to the latest version of Minecraft! You no longer have to use an older version of Minecraft to use our Minecraft server, you can use it with the latest version. The server now uses Spigot which should also make the server run better.
I've updated a bunch of the plugins on the server and I've also added a new plugin which shows some of your minecraft related stats right on your profile (and more stats to come). When you log into the server for the first time since this feature was added, a new table will appear on your profile and that'll begin keeping track of your stats. Everyone's play time will start at 0 since I wasn't tracking play time before and have no way of knowing what everyone's play time was previously.

As of Today, 12-06-14, the current Vizzed Board is 10 years old!
This year I’ve continued expanding the Video Game Room by adding profile pages for video game characters, putting up a vizzed minecraft server and also by adding video game accessories (such as systems and controllers) to the VGR. I’ve also added game pages for many new games and systems. I haven’t forgotten about the Retro Game Room though because that has also received a ton of new features including a game streaming page, more features to netplay and game searching and many more games and systems. Over 10,000 games added to the RGR which is probably the most that has ever been added to the RGR in a single year.
You can find the awards and additional anniversary information here:

Djinn8345 (aka lilwildwolf21 on vizzed) and I will be co-hosting this event on his channel and we'll be giving away a total of $50 to random viewers of the stream so the longer you stick around and vote, the better your chances of walking away with a cash prize.

The 2014 Newsletter has begun rolling out today and should take up to 2 weeks to deliver to everyone. The biggest highlight of this newsletter is the fact that it celebrates the 10 year anniversary of Vizzed Board. Hopefully the site's traffic increases during this time as some old users come back to give us a visit.
If you have any questions or feedback or if you didn't receive a copy of the newsletter and wanted to see what was in it, go here:

For the past few months now we've been experiencing issues with the Minecraft server where it'd be really slow, laggy and sometimes kick users out. I've done some research and switched from 32-bit to 64-bit and also made it so that the minecraft server can take advantage of more RAM. From what I can see so far, this has fixed the problem.
Remember that you need to use Minecraft version 1.7.10 to get on the server and the server address is Vizzed.co . If you don't know how to use an older version of minecraft, you can find that information here:

This month's RGR Competitions are about half way over so there's still plenty of time to compete. Most of these competitions have had very little competition so if you have a few hours to spare and are in need of some cash, you might as well compete in whichever one of these you think you'd have the best chance at placing. Keep in mind that you don't have to take first place in these competitions to earn cash, there are cash prizes for the other places as well.

Playstation Came Out in Japan on December 3rd, 1994
The Sony Playstation will turn 20 years old on December 3rd and as a way to celebrate, November will be Playstation month. Every Game of the Day and Game of the Week will be of a Playstation game from now until December 3rd and on top of that, the Playstation item (which allows you to play Playstation games on Vizzed) will be 50% off which means you can now get it for 25,000 Viz for a limited time! Be sure to act fast though because it's very unlikely that it'll ever be discounted again, in fact, it may eventually go up in price due to all of the games added lately. You can get it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem
Vizzed Has A Mostly Complete Playstation Library
Over the past few months I've invested well over 100 hours into finding, preparing, formatting and adding every Playstation game to the site and I'm finally finished. This includes all USA games and also all European and Japanese games (the ones that weren't released in the USA). On top of that, a lot of hacks, homebrew and demo discs were added. If you see any games that are missing, let us know right away and we'll get the games added ASAP. The Playstation library on Vizzed includes 2,411 games and will continue to increase as tRIUNE and myself find and add missing games. You can view the library here:

October Minecraft Competition: Create the Best House & Win Viz!
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=80373
Earn up to 50,000 Viz in the above competition.
I'm in the process of completing the Playstation collection in the Retro Game Room. Every day I plan to add 100-200 Playstation games (in alphabetical order) to the site. Before I started there were just over 500 playable Playstation games on the site. By the time I finish, there will be 2000+ playable Playstation games on the site. The goal is to have almost every Playstation game ever made on the site which includes all (unique) US and foreign games and I also plan to add every available demo disc, hack, prototype, homebrew game, independent net yaroze game and more. I've invested many hours over the past few months into this project which includes obtaining, preparing, formatting and now adding the games. As of this announcement, we have everything added from A to E and halfway done with F.
Playstation games are only playable for users who own the 'Playstation' item which can be purchased from the Item Shop for 50,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem
If you want the Playstation item but don't have enough Viz for it, here are ways to earn it:
-Help out Vizzed = Earn 10,000+ Viz!
-Contribute to Vizzed
-Donate Games
-Donate Money
-Do Things for Vizzed Users
-Click Here for a Complete List
(click any of the above links for more information)
The list of Playstation games were previously only available on an exclusive page on vizzed. The games can now be viewed and accessed in the Retro Game Room just like any other system by anyone. Here's a link to all of the currently available Playstation games:

Keep in mind that the VGR is a place for non-playable games. It's a place to get information and a place to submit reviews, guides, videos and threads. Many of the games added will have price guides available within the next few days (some already do) so be sure to add any computer games that you own to your Vizzed Game Collection.
For those of you who are competing in the Gameplay Recorder competition, you can now record computer games and submit those to the competition which could increase your chances of winning the $225.

On Tuesday, September 30th, I'll be hosting a live streaming event on my Twitch Channel where we'll all be listening to the songs submitted to this month's SNES Video Game Music Competition. The stream will start at 5 PM and end at around 8 PM (central time). This is a great opportunity to hang out with vizzed members, listen to some gaming music and earn some Viz while doing it; it should be fun.
Everyone is welcome to join the stream and you can earn 100 Viz for each song that you rate. After each song that is played, I'll ask everyone what they thought of it and all you have to do is rate on a scale of 1-3. If you can only participate during a small portion of the stream, that is fine, stick around and rate as many songs that you have time for. If you stick around long enough to rate all 127 songs, you'll get a bonus of 2,300 Viz which would put your total earnings at 15,000 Viz.
To qualify, all you need to do is be a member of Vizzed, be a member of Twitch, and follow my Twitch Channel which can be found here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
You'll also need you reply to the following thread letting me know what your Twitch username is so that I know who to send the Viz to once the event is over:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=80277
The 15 minute video limit that was placed on the Vizzed YouTube account 6 months ago has been removed. This means that you can now upload videos of almost any size to the YouTube account. All videos that were uploaded in the past 6 months that were larger than 15 minutes were automatically deactivated by Google but now that we no longer have a restriction, I was able to reactivate those videos.
You can find the Vizzed Gameplay Videos account here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/vizzed
Be sure to help us out by Subscribing
Next month I'll be hosting an RGR competition with a cash prize for those who are willing to record large videos and upload them to the Vizzed YouTube account. If you do plan to participate in that, be sure to wait until October 1st to upload your large videos since only videos uploaded after October 1st will count for that competition.
The 15 minute restriction was placed on the account 6 months ago when a Japanese company filed a copyright claim on one of the commercials on the Vizzed YouTube account. Since then, I removed all of the commercials from the main Vizzed YouTube account (that account is now dedicated to just gameplay videos) and moved them to a new YouTube account titled Vizzed Video Game Commercials
.
I've also made a few small updates to the video uploader page. You can now insert keywords to the video that you're uploading and it'll automatically insert useful keywords by default which means that if you forget to add additional keywords, it'll still receive keywords. If the video is of a rom hack, that is mentioned in the title and related keywords will be added. A few other small updates have been made to the page as well.
If you have any questions or feedback about these updates, please post in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=80209
This is a reminder to participate in this month's RGR competitions, there's still half a month left.

Vizzed_OldMan

For more information, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=79373
The starting bids on these are a lot lower than previous auctions. Also, these will be the last accounts that I auction off for a while.
The Video Game Streamers page on Vizzed has been updated:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/streamers.php
It previously only supported Twitch.tv but it now also supported Hitbox.tv. The CP and Viz payout for streaming has been updated and is now based on your Vizzed Partnership. You can now earn 0.05, 0.1, or 0.15 CP (rounded) and 10, 20 or 30 Viz for every minute you stream.
Another big update to the page is that it'll now remove you from the page if you go more than 30 days without streaming a game in the Retro Game Room. Also, in the Retro Game Room, it'll only list you as active streamer if you're playing a game in the RGR. Eventually I might make it only show RGR streamers by default (but there would be a setting to allow you to view all streamers).
I plan to drive more traffic to this page which will increase the amount of viewers the vizzed streamers get. The idea is that if you help out vizzed with your stream, vizzed will help out your stream. In the future I'll also offer incentives for users to visit that page (all someone has to do is view that page and they'll count as a viewer on your stream).

This is an "Official" Vizzed tournament. As some of you know, I host a Tecmo Super Bowl tournament every fall which contains a current NFL roster. Unlike the last Vizzed Tournament (which will be headed to the final round in a few weeks), this tournament will not involve teams.
This tournament will last for 20 weeks. The first 4 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate). The next 12 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final game. The idea is to have this tournament last as long as the NFL season, so it'll begin at around the same time and end at around the same time. Tecmo Super Bowl tournaments are held every year and they last longer than any other tournament that I host.
We'll be playing a 2014-2015 roster update of Tecmo Super Bowl. The hack hasn't been added to the site yet since it's still being worked on but it'll be ready before the tournament begins next week.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo NES games
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 100,000 Viz
2nd = 50,000 Viz
3rd = 25,000 Viz
Team Entry Fee: 5,000 Viz
(you can send me the Viz by going to my profile)
Rebate: 4,000 Viz
If you participate throughout the entire competition, you will get 4000 of that Viz refunded. If you drop out or fail to participate, you will not get your 4000 Viz back and you will be added to the ban list.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Thursday, September 4th.
If you want to enter, send me the 5,000 Viz and reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=79474
Every Friday for the next 4-6 weeks I'll be auctioning off 4 Minecraft accounts for rent. What I mean by "rent" is that you get to use the account for 1 year but you cannot change the skin that the account comes with (reasons below). If you want to renew the account, the price to renew the account for each additional year is 25% of the Viz price that you paid for the account. These are full accounts that you have full access to and you can do just about anything with them (except change the skin as mentioned already).
These accounts serve 3 purposes:
1. The skins of the accounts will be used for the NPC's on the Pokemon Kanto Region world
2. To get more users on the Vizzed Minecraft Server
3. To give users another reason to earn Viz
The reason that you cannot change the skin of the account is because the NPC addon that we use on the minecraft server lets you create NPCs but you can only use skins of actual minecraft accounts. I want to make NPCs in the Pokemon Kanto Region on the Vizzed Minecraft Server similar to the NPCs from Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green.
These skins take a while to make and it also takes me a while to come up with the budget to buy these accounts (they cost me around US $27 each), this is why I'm only selling 4 per a week. The intent with these skins is for them to resemble their sprite from Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green as closely as possible.

My quest continues to obtaining physical copies of games in the Retro Game Room. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include SNES, NES, GBA/GB/GBC, N64, Genesis, TG, PSX, etc (basically anything, even modern, but preferably retro games). I'll pay you 1000s of Viz for sending me your games.
Here's a few examples of items that you might want to earn Viz for:
10,000 Viz = Netplay item - Allows you to create netplay sessions without paying Viz
25,000 Viz = V-Machine item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games)
50,000 Viz = Laptop item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games). Also allows you to create netplay sessions
50,000 Viz = Playstation item - Allows you to play 480+ different Playstation games
You can find a list of items that you can buy that do special things here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
You can donate either retro games or modern games. For any game that I already own that you donate, I'll probably sell them and use the profit to invest into the site. If you donate a Playstation game, not only will I give you Viz for it but I'll also add it as a playable game on the site.
You can of course earn Viz in many other ways, a complete list of ways can be found here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/controlpanel.php?category=help&help=terminology&name=Viz#Viz
Tell me in the following thread what games you're interested in donating, the condition of the games and I'll tell you how much Viz I'd give you for the games:

-Pokemon Mini (most of the games work)
-Sony PocketStation (75% of the games work)
-Magnavox Odyssey 2 (most of the games work)

The following 2 systems are still only available to Beta Testers but should be available to everyone within the next few months (CDi possibly next month):
-Sega Saturn (75% of the games work)
-Phillips CD-i (only around 25% of the games work)
Since these 2 systems still need to be tested and configured, they are currently only available to Beta Testers of the site. To become a Beta Tester, you need to buy the "Beta Test Ticket" for 10,000 Viz here:

Here's a nice batch of
New Games and Systems
Over the past few weeks, 7 retro game systems have been added to the Retro Game Room which has increased the RGR library by around 1,336 games. The added new systems include:
-Sega Saturn (75% of the games work)
-Phillips CD-i (only around 25% of the games work)
-Atari Jaguar (only around 10% of the games work)
-Pokemon Mini (most of the games work)
-Sony PocketStation (75% of the games work)
-Magnavox Odyssey 2 (most of the games work)
-Sega Pico
Since all of these games still need to be tested and configured, they are currently only available to Beta Testers of the site. To become a Beta Tester, you need to buy the "Beta Test Ticket" for 10,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem
Each system will become available to everyone once the staff has finished testing and configuring the games of each system. The CD systems and the systems with a lot of games will take longer to test.
Some of the games for these systems may not work and some may not function properly. Some of these can be fixed once the staff get to them while others may never be playable. Also, I'm still working on adding more games to these systems.
You can find a complete list of the newly added games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?pm=true&ss=true&sp=true&aj=true&mo2=true&sps=true&cdi=true&search=&system=&searchBy=name
Need Viz to play these new games? Scroll down for information on how you can earn a lot of Viz in a very short amount of time just for helping out Vizzed.com.
New Item Shop Item: V-Machine CD
As some of you know, the V-Machine item lets you play all games for free once you've paid the Viz for it but it doesn't let you play CD games for free (due to their disk space and bandwidth). I've added a new item to the item shop called 'V-Machine CD' which also covers CD games for 50,000 Viz (except PSX).
CD systems on the site that this covers include:
-Sega CD
-Sega Saturn
-Turbo Grafx CD
-PC-FX
-CDi
(more to come)
You can see that item as well as all other items here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=siteitem
Playstation Games
Vizzed has had Playstation games for quite a while and the library keeps on getting bigger and bigger. The only way to view and play our Playstation library is by purchasing the 'Playstation' item for 50,000 Viz:

Vizzed Video Game Music: A channel dedicated to video game soundtracks
Vizzed Productions: A channel dedicated to events, tournaments, competitions and compilation videos
Of the 3 new channels, the only one which has content currently is the 'Vizzed Video Game Commercials' channel. The other 2 channels will get content added next month.

This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This will be the very first Netplay Tournament with a Cash prize.
This tournament will last for 12 weeks. The first 3 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate). The next 5 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final game.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is. Your team may also contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role.
Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to
The games that this tournament will involve:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament (SNES)
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Final Match Tennis (TG)
-Hit the Ice: The Video Hockey League (TG)
-WWF Raw (SNES)
Only 2 games from last summer's teams tournament are present this year, the other 4 are new to the annual teams tournament. You can see the details and results of the 2013 teams tournament here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=61450
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Turbo Grafx games (in fact, if SNES netplay doesn't work for you, you will have a disadvantage but you can still participate)
-You be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 100,000 Viz or US $75
2nd = 50,000 Viz or US $25
3rd = 25,000 Viz
(teams will share the prize)
Penalty:
If you miss more than 25% of your matches, then you'll have 10,000 Viz deducted from your account. If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Tuesday, July 1st
If you want to enter, reply to the below thread with your team name, who the leader of the team is and who is on your team.

I've got a small budget to buy games if anyone is interested in selling games that they no longer need or use. I'll buy almost any game for any system. If it's a retro game that I don't own, I'll probably add it to my personal collection (since my ultimate goal is to have a copy of every game in the RGR) and if it's a more modern game or a game I already do own, I'll sell the game and put the profit toward the site.
Simply respond to this thread letting me know which games you're interested in selling to me. I'll buy the games from you for around 40% of what their worth in real money (and 60% of what their worth in Viz) and if it's a game in my wishlist, I'll give you 50% of what their worth (more info about that below). If you want just Viz, I can pay you in Viz (remember, US $1 = 1000 Viz). I can either pay you with Paypal or order something online for you.
If my offer seems unfair, let me explain how it's actually a good deal. Most game stores and companies give you far less than that when you trade in your games, they usually only give you around 25% of what your games are worth. Also, there needs to be enough room for me to make a profit, especially considering there's various fees involve (amazon or ebay fees), getting the games professionally cleaned, shipping material fees, time and labor involved in testing the games, taking pictures of them, listing them for sale, shipping them up and taking them to the post office, etc.
This is also a great opportunity to earn some money. If you see some cheap games at a local thrift shop (such as Goodwill or Salvation Army) or you find some games at a garage sale, buy them and resell them to me and you could profit it off of it if you get the cheap enough.
You can find out what your games are worth by either using the Video Game Room or this handy tool:
https://www.vizzed.com/priceguide/collection.php
(You would save us both time if you added the games to your collection that you want to sell me)

The textures & graphics, audio, npc dialogue and map layout will be based on Fire Red and Leaf Green.
The purpose of this Minecraft world will be to allow users to navigate the Kanto Region of Pokemon in a new perspective. Hopefully we'll also be able to add Pokemon to this world later to allow users to catch them and battle them.
I'm working on a resource pack to be used for this server which will

I've made 3 updates for the Retro Game Room which will help draw in more users to watch the twitch streams of vizzed users.
1. Toward the top of the RGR index pages where the 'Twitch Streamers' link is, it'll now say how many users are streaming and that number will be in yellow so that it sticks out.
2. Down where it shows all the active netplay sessions on the RGR index page, it'll now show active Twitch Streams as well.
3. If you create a netplay session and stream it as well, there will be a big link under your netplay session on the netplay sessions page showing that you're streaming your netplay session.
These updates will hopefully bring more recognition to the live streams. Before, most users probably didn't visit the netplay stream page because they had no idea whether there would be an active stream on that page. Now that there's messages throughout the RGR letting you know when active streams are available, this should encourage more users to visit that page.
The Twitch Streamer page can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/twitchstreamers.php
If you want your Twitch Channel added to that page, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69017
Keep in mind that if you go more than 30 days without streaming a game in the Retro Game Room, your channel will be removed from that page.
If you have any questions about this update, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75809
Create the Best Redstone Structure & win Viz or Cash!
Create the best structure that utilizes Redstone in some way. It can be almost anything just as long as there's Redstone powering something. You can make a booby trap, an obstacle course, a note block song, etc. You can also submit your preexisting structures if they already use Redstone or you can add Redstone functionality to them if you want.

Minecraft Page added to the Vizzed Retro Game Room
I've added a page to the Video Game Room for the PC version of Minecraft here:
https://www.vizzed.com/games/minecraft-pc-windows-75185-game
You now have an official place on the site to submit your Minecraft Reviews, Guides, Videos, Threads and Comments. You'll eventually also be able to submit your screenshots to that page as well.
If you own the game, be sure to add it to your Game Collection and insert your in game name so that others know that you own the game. You can do this by clicking the 'Add to Collection' link toward the top of the page.
This is the first PC game page that has been added to the VGR and I plan to add more PC games to the VGR in the future. Keep in mind that the Video Game Room is meant to provide information for games and offers a place for you to submit your content, it does not serve as a place to play games online.

Once a week on every Thursday for this entire month, I plan to create a competition dealing with the Vizzed Minecraft server and in each of those competitions, money and Viz will be up for grabs. Here's this week's competition.
Create Pixel Art in the Open World (pixel art on any of the islands doesn't count). Your "Art" can be either a single sprite graphic or multiple sprites graphics joined together. Once this competition ends, staff will vote on which structure they think is the best. You can see an example of my submission in the submission thread. For more information on the Vizzed Minecraft Server and how to join, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152
To enter, simply take a screenshot of your completed pixel art and submit it to this thread. Be sure to give your submission a title. You can either upload the screenshot to the Photo Album and than embed it to your post or you can upload the screenshot with your post, screenshots posted any other way don't count (they have to be hosted on vizzed). The Photo Album can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/smd/photoalbum.php
It's recommended that you place a claim around your pixel art. If you don't make a claim around your art, you'll be unable to remove blocks if you make a mistake and other users will be able to make a claim on your pixel art and potentially destroy it. You should also place a sign in front of your pixel art so that we all know who made it and what it's of. For more information on land claiming, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152#Claims
To take a screenshot in Minecraft, all you have to do is press F2. If you want to take the screenshot without the menus, press F1 to remove the menus. If you want to change your perspective, press F5. For more information on Minecraft screenshots and for where to find them, go here:
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Screenshots
If you already made some pixel art but not in the Open World, I can move it for you so that it qualifies. To get to the Open World, you can either take the subway station to it (which can be found underneath the Vizzed Ville Town Square) or you can walk there but heading to the really long island next to Vizzed Ville and taking the path that leads down into the water tunnel. There's a shop in the open world which has 16 colors of wool and clay which can be used to make the art.
Here are the prizes:
1st: US $25 or 37,500 Viz / MViz
2nd: 20,000 Viz / MViz
3rd: 10,000 Viz / MViz
I can pay you by either PayPal or by buying something online for you. If your structure was built by more than 1 user, than the earnings will be split.
Competition ends:
May 8th

EDIT: Remaking this announcement since I provided the wrong link to the Official Minecraft server thread with the last one.
The Vizzed Minecraft Server is ready for anyone who has a copy of PC Minecraft to join:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152
For now, the point of this server is to work together and populate 3 towns. You buy lots with MViz (you can convert your Viz to MViz; more info in the above URL). The first time you play on this server, you'll start out in Vizzed Ville. That is the main town but most of the lots are taken. If you turn around, that bridge leads to Iggy Land which has a lot of cheap lots. Than there's a 3rd island with Geeogree's town but the lots there are expensive and reserved for rich Vizzed users.
I've also got 2 contests going on where you can earn Viz and Cash.
Build the Best Structure in Minecraft = Earn up to $30 or 40,000 Viz
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75273
Take the Best Screenshots = Earn up to $10 or 15,000 Viz
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75243
I'm titling this a Beta Launch since not everything is ready yet and since I haven't finished typing up the thread for the server with all the details and future plans. Anyways, the server is ready to everyone to join. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152
I'll make another thread once the server is no longer "beta".
If you don't have a copy of Minecraft but still want to see what the Vizzed Minecraft server is all about, I'll be streaming the server for a little while on my Twitch Channel here:
http://www.twitch.tv/davideo7
I apologize for the delays.
The Vizzed Minecraft server has been delayed but it will be ready in an hour. IgorBird122 is still finishing up stuff in his town and I'm working on typing up the thread with all the details regarding the server.
Also, since there's an in game currency which for the time being I'll be called MineViz (MV for short), I'll allow you guys to buy your in game currency now so that when the server is ready for launch, you have money to spend. Everyone starts out with $100 in the game and here's how much lots cost:
Small Lot = 500 MV (max 2 per user)
Medium Lot = 1000 MV (max 2 per user)
Large Lot = 2500 MV (max 1 per user)
Each lot will come with a chest full of items.
Items cost money too. For example, a bundle of 64 Stone Blocks will cost $9 and additional items can be purchased in either the Vizzed Mall or in IgorBird122's shop. IgorBird122's shop, which is in his town, has more items (until I can finish the Vizzed Mall) so if you want a wider variety of items, go to his town to buy from him.
1 MV = 1 Viz so however much MV you want, send IgorBird122 that amount of Viz. Be sure to tell him your Minecraft username!
Below is a map of the Vizzed Ville town.
If you have any questions, go here:

The Vizzed Minecraft server that many of you have been waiting for will be launched on Friday, April 17th, at around 7 PM central time. The launch may be an hour early or an hour late, so the launch may be anywhere between 6 PM - 8 PM since we're still finalizing things with that server.
The server will basically involve everyone working together to build 'Vizzed Ville' in Minecraft. Users will be able to purchase lots and building materials using Viz. Anyone can join in once it's launched, all you need is a copy of the PC version of Minecraft. If you don't have a copy, you can purchase one online or in stores (like Walmart or Target) for only $26.95.
I'll be making a separate announcement and thread once it's ready to launch with full details regarding the rules and purpose of the server. I'll also be live streaming it on my Twitch Channel so anyone who doesn't have a way to join us can still somewhat experience it.
If you have any questions or feedback, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75118

My quest continues to obtaining physical copies of games for the Retro Game Room. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include Super Nintendo, Nintendo, any of the Game Boys, Nintendo 64, Genesis, Playstation, Nintendo DS, etc (basically anything).
Here's a few examples of items that you might want to earn Viz for:
15,000 Viz = Game Accelerator - Makes games download faster (for most people)
25,000 Viz = V-Machine item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games)
50,000 Viz = Playstation item - Allows you to play 400+ different Playstation games
Any game that is donated that I already own (or isn't retro) will be sold and all the money made from sold games will go toward expanding Vizzed. It costs a lot of money to keep this site up and I know a lot of users want to help out but don't have money to donate so this is a great opportunity, especially since a lot of you probably have games lying around that you don't plan to play anymore and may even need to make room for new games.
Respond to the following thread with a list of games you're willing to donate and I'll tell you how much Viz I'd give you for the games and I'll PM you the address to send the games to. The following thread also has more information on this offer.
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=58552
Vizzed has just exceeded 1,000,000 posts! As a way to celebrate, I've made it so that posts are worth twice as much Viz for 1 week (until April 12th)! This also includes Threads, Reviews, Walkthroughs and Articles.
So how big of an accomplishment is 1 Million? Well we pulled it off in just under 10 years (the overall post count began on 12-06-04). The site was averaging around 100-200 posts per a day when this current Vizzed Board launched, now days it averages 400-500 posts a day. Now it may seem like the site's post count hasn't gone up very much since its launch but the 100-200 posts a day only lasted for the first few months of the site, after that the average was around 100 and it just kept dropping. At one point the site was averaging around 5 posts a day back in 2006 and there were even times when the site went more than 1 day without a single post. Things started picking up again in 2008 with 25-100 becoming the average and things really took off in 2009 when the Retro Game Room was added to the site.
A few fun facts:
-It took around 21,880 users to pull that off
-The 1 million posts on the site contain 56,871,406 words
-The average user post count is 45 (excluding non-posters)
-The average post size is 56 words
-The site has averaged 293 posts per a day since its launch
-The site has 75,625 threads which means the average thread has 13 replies
-The thread with the most replies is Corrupt-A-Wish! with 9,110 replies
-The biggest (non-copied) post with the most words is in The Children of Destiny thread with 30,507 words
-The thread with the most total likes is Tour de Vizzed: Winter 2014 = EideticMemory wins! with 83
-The thread with the most total dislikes is I've Decided to Auction This Forum with 23
-The post with the most likes is this one with 39 likes
-The post with the most dislikes is this one with 13 dislikes
Just like I did in the 1 Billion view count thread, I need to thank the staff (and the past staff too) for helping me keep this site under control and to help me keep the forum civilized. I'd also like to thank all the users who have posted and have helped make 1 Million posts possible. Not a lot of forums live long enough to ever reach 1 million posts so I'm pretty proud that Vizzed Board has been able to stick around long enough to pull it off.
1 Billion views was a huge accomplishment but I think 1 Million posts is an even bigger accomplishment because 1 Billion views can be done without a community but 1 Million posts can only be done with the help of an awesome and loyal community. Both Milestones are amazing though and we've been spoiled to witness both so close together. It's unfortunate that it'll be a very long time before we hit another huge significant milestone and even more unfortunate that a lot of the current active users wont be around for those milestones. This is not a time to think about that though, this is a time for party! A round of Vizzed Soda on me!

This affects those who record and upload videos to Vizzed with the RGR Plugin. Between now and October of 2014, the maximum length of videos is currently 15 minutes. If your video exceeds 15 minutes, you'll either want to upload it to your personal YouTube account or break the video into 15 minute parts.
This is because of a restriction YouTube placed on my account. For more information:

Nintendo and Vizzed have been working together quietly for a while now and we've finally come to an agreement. The decision has been made that Nintendo will be purchasing the Vizzed name, company and domain. The game titled 'Vizzed Flash Bash' that Sega has been developing for Nintendo with Vizzed will continue development.

I've got some updates regarding the Bomberman '94 Netplay Tournament.
I've extended the sign up deadline by a week! The tournament will now begin on Monday, April 7th.
I've also made the scheduling more flexible and removed Monday and replaced it with Friday. Users will be able to pick which days they want to play their matchup. This means that all you have to do is be available during 2 out of the 4 days that the matchups take place in order to participate. So if you're available during at least 2 of the following times and days, than you may enter:
Tuesday: 7 PM - 8 PM (central time)
Wednesday: 7 PM - 8 PM (central time)
Thursday: 7 PM - 8 PM (central time)
Friday: 7 PM - 8 PM (central time)

Two months ago, the successful Pokemon Osmium: The Game thread came to an end, but now it’s time for season 2 of the popular series in the form of the Pokemon Osmium Grand Championship. This time around, the game is much bigger, and so are the prizes.
Sign ups for the competition will last until April 4th 9PM server time and the competition will begin April 5th at Noon. Signing up is free for now, and you are all encouraged to participate in order to claim the top prize of at least 100,000 Viz. What’s unique about this competition, is that the total prize pool will increase based on how much activity the game creates. If dozens of users sign up and actively participate, the total prize pool could easily hit 200,000 viz, and could even go as high as 500,000. Remember, the more active the game is, the higher the prize, and the more people will be rewarded.
The game will follow the structure of the original game which can be found here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=66425
You can sign up for the competition here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=74129
To sign up, reply to the thread with your desired trainer name and starter Pokemon. Accepted Starter Pokemon are listed in the first post.
This is basically a Role Play where you battle other users, catch and train pokemon, battle gyms, and more. Every valid post mad during the contest and every in game action will get you a certain number of points, these points will be used to determine who the winners are. Specific instructions and rules will be posted after sign ups close, but will not vary too much from that of the original game.
If less than 16 users sign up, the competition will not begin, and if a certain level of activity is not met during each month of the competition, the minimum of 100,000 Viz will be awarded. (Level of activity will be determined by number of participants.)
In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations
In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points.
Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.
For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7 PM central time or 7:30 PM central time on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.
Requirements:
-You must be available between 7 PM - 8 PM central time Monday-Thursday nights
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 100,000 Viz
2nd = 50,000 Viz
3rd = 25,000 Viz
Entry Fee: None
(since this is an elimination type tournament, I see no reason for an entry fee)
Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, March 31st.

Vizzed has just exceeded 1,000,000,000 views! As a way to celebrate, I made a new background for the site (many users hated the previous) and I've also made new icons for the Retro Game Room and the Video Game Room.
So how big of an accomplishment is 1 Billion? Well we pulled it off in just under 10 years (the view count began on 12-06-04). The site was averaging around 3,500 views per a day when this current Vizzed Board launched, now days it averages 1,500,000 views per a day. Not many sites publicly display their view count these days but out of the ones that do, I can't imagine too many sites exceeding 1 Billion views.
So how many people did it take to pull that off? Using my Google Analystics data, I've estimated that nearly 30 million unique users have used this site since it launched. 13+ million of those unique visitors have been from the United States which means around 4% of the USA's population has visited Vizzed.com at least once in their life.
Like always, I need to thank the staff for helping me keep this site active. As the site generates more and more traffic, it also demands more and more hours to keep under control.
Help celebrate this achievement, post in the celebration thread here:

Last summer I started a Pokemon Rom Hacking competition where users could win and earn money by creating hacks for Vizzed:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=62280
That competition has finally come to an end and now has entered a 3 month long voting period (May 21st is when it ends). You can find all of the hacks that were submitted to this competition (and qualify) here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?sort=best&search=Pokemon&publisher=Vizzed
That URL displays all of the games in order of which is currently considered "the best", and that's how we'll choose which rom hack wins the competition ("best" = rating * vote count). Feel free to play each of the 6 games that were entered and be sure to rate each game that you play.
Even though it's too late to submit hacks to this competition, if you're interested in learning how to create your own Pokemon rom hacks and want to submit them to Vizzed.com, you can find out how to do so here:

If you have any questions or feedback, please ask in this thread:

UPDATE: My list mostly complete now, it contains all of the games and systems that I own and all that I have for sale as well. It's missing some accessories which I'll get added in later. I've also extended the 20% off deadline to next Tuesday since that's when I'll be putting my stuff up for sale on Amazon and Ebay (I'll make a separate announcement when I do that).
Vizzed doesn't earn the income that it use to, the site has taken 2 revenue drops over the past few years which has left me with very little to no budget to expand the site in certain directions that I want to expand and it has also left me with no budget to get more plugin
Selling Video Games
As many of you know, I've got a huge game collection and I've been expanding it for years. I rarely buy games at full price so this allows me to expand faster and to make a small profit for the site when I resell doubles or games that I don't need to own. What this means is that I'm selling real physical games for real physical money if anyone is interested in buying any of the games that I'm selling.
I currently have 500+ games for sale for systems including DS, GB, GBC, GBA, GC, GG, N64, NES, PS2, PSX, SNES, Wii, X360, XB and more. I still have a few more games to add to my for sale collection and I still have to add systems and accessories so hopefully my collection will be up to date by Wednesday.
If there are any games that I have for sale that you're interested in buying, either PM me or respond to this thread (I'll respond quicker if you reply to this thread). I'll give a 20% discount for any game you buy between now and February 20th and I'll offer free shipping if you buy more than $25 worth of games (free shipping offer not available to users who live outside of the United States). I haven't listed anything for sale on Ebay or Amazon yet but I will in 5 days.
You can find a list of games that I have for sale with their prices and details here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=collection&filter=sell
Buying Video Games
I've got a small budget to buy games if anyone is interested in selling games that they no longer need or use. I'll buy almost any game for any system. If it's a retro game that I don't own, I'll probably add it to my personal collection (since my ultimate goal is to have a copy of every game in the RGR) and if it's a more modern game or a game I already do own, I'll sell the game and put the profit toward the site.
Simply respond to this thread letting me know which games you're interested in selling to me. I'll buy the games from you for 40% of what their worth in real money (and 60% of what their worth in Viz) and if it's a game in my wishlist, I'll give you 50% of what their worth (more info about that below). If you want just Viz, I can pay you in Viz (remember, US $1 = 1000 Viz). I can either pay you with Paypal or order something online for you.
If my offer seems unfair, let me explain how it's actually a good deal. Most game stores and companies give you far less than that when you trade in your games, they usually only give you around 25% of what your games are worth. Also, there needs to be enough room for me to make a profit, especially considering there's various fees involve (amazon or ebay fees), getting the games professionally cleaned, shipping material fees, time and labor involved in testing the games, taking pictures of them, listing them for sale, shipping them up and taking them to the post office, etc.
You can find out what your games are worth by either using the Video Game Room or this handy tool:
https://www.vizzed.com/priceguide/collection.php
(You would save us both time if you added the games to your collection that you want to sell me)
Trading Video Games
I'm also willing to trade games if you want games on my for sale list and if I have games on my wishlist that you own. I currently have 65 games in my wishlist for systems including 3DS, DS, GBA, GC, N64, NES, PS2, SNES, SS, Wii, X360 and XB. The games you want from my collection have to be around the same value as the games you're offering me from my wishlist (the trade should either be fair or in my favor).
You can find out what games are in my wishlist here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=wishlist
Do you want to buy, sell or trade with other users?
You can use the Vizzed Market to make trades and deals with other users. If you have games for sale, games to trade or a list of games you want to buy, feel free to make a thread there.
You can find the Vizzed Market here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/forum.php?id=16
Find out what your Game Collection is worth
You can keep track of all the games you own and also find out what your entire game collection is worth by adding games to your Game Collection. You can do so by either searching for the games in the Video Game Room or by using the Batch game look tool which I provided a link to above (if you use the tool, be sure to click the 'Add games to collection' button once you're done).
If you want to see my game collection (missing around 20% of my collection but I'll get everything added by Wednesday) you can view it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=collection
(I might make a youtube video showing my entire collection a week from now if users are interested)

I've spent the past few days adding a bunch of awesome features to the Video Game Room.
Systems, Controllers & Accessories Added
The Video Game Room now includes Systems, Controllers and Accessories. A lot of them currently have no price data and most of them have no images but that'll change in the near future. There's also a lot of hardware missing so if you notice something that needs to be added, contact the RGR Staff.
The pages for video game hardware will basically be the same as a game page except with a few features missing. You'll be able to see prices, a rarity score, ebay listings and you'll be able to add them to your Game Collection and Wishlist. You'll also be able to review them, make comments on them, make threads about them and submit content to them.
To me personally, this is an awesome
The following search will display just hardware in the Video Game Room:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/index.php?noRetail=true&noDigital=true
Video Game Room Filters and Additional Details
You can now have the VGR search filter your results. You can have it so that it doesn't return Digital Games, Retail Games and/or Hardware. You can also have it show just Hardware, to do this you'll want to first click 'X Digital Games' and than on the new page you'll want to than click 'X Retail Games' and than you'll be seeing Systems, Controllers and Accessories only.
The search results of the VGR will show whether a listing is a Game or a Hardware. If it's a game, it'll also let you know what type of game it is (for example, Arcade Game, Indie Game, eShop Game, PSN Game, etc).
Here's an example of a Hardware search:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/index.php?noDigital=true&noRetail=true
More Content and Systems Added
Over the past few months, the RGR Staff and myself have invested many hours to adding content and graphics to the games of the VGR. Many hours have also been spent sorting through ebay listings so that the prices displayed on the game pages are as accurate as we can get them. The staff have also been working hard to get the latest games added.
I've also added few systems lately, which include CD-i, N-Gage, Odyssey 2, Neo Geo CD and a few others.
You can find a full list of Game Systems in the VGR here:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/browse.php?sort=system
Game Collection Profile
The Game Collection of your profile now only displays up to 10 games per a system but offers a link that you can click which will quickly display the rest of the games you own for that system. For users like myself who have a lot of games in their collection, having them all displayed by default made it hard to navigate the page, with this
The Game Collection displays any accessories, controllers or systems that you add to your collection. The listings for each system will be separated based on what it is and all hardware will have an initial next to it specifying what it is.
You can view my Game Collection to see an example of these
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=collection
(Note: I have yet to add my entire collection to my vizzed profile)
Collection Grade
Your collections are now given a Grade based on all of the rarity scores of your game collection. Each game in the VGR has a rarity score which is based on how often that specific game or hardware appears on ebay. So you can get a grade from anywhere between an F to an A+ (A+ being near impossible to get).
You can find more information regarding the Video Game Rarity Guide here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=72196

CP VCS = Earn Staff Position or Forum
The seasonal CP VCS edition competition is going on this month and for the first time ever, users have a shot at renting their own forum on vizzed and being awarded a staff position. Here are the prizes:
1st. 50,000 Viz or Offered a Staff Position* or a Rented Forum
2nd. 25,000 Viz or Offered a Staff Position*
3rd. 10,000 Viz or Offered a Staff Position*
4th. 2500 Viz
5th. 1000 Viz
*Only members with positive Trust Points qualify
The CP VCS is a competition where the top 10 users each day that earned the most CP get points toward the competition so the competition involves doing things for the site including taking screenshots, submitting videos, writing reviews, referring people to the site, posting, writing walkthroughs and so much more. You can find a list of ways to earn CP here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/contributionpoints.php
TIP: The 2 best ways of earning CP are Writing Walkthroughs (the bigger, the most CP you get) and by recording videos with the RGR Plugin and submitting them to the site and site's YouTube channel.

For the past five months in any free time I've found, I've been adding games to the Retro Game Room, which has accumulated into quite a list. Close to 450 games have been added in the past five months.
If you're looking for a new game to play, or a new hack, check out the list:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=71579
My quest continues to obtaining physical copies of games for the Retro Game Room. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include Super Nintendo, Nintendo, any of the Game Boys, Nintendo 64, Genesis, Playstation, Nintendo DS, etc (basically anything).
Here's a few examples of items that you might want to earn Viz for:
15,000 Viz = Game Accelerator - Makes games download faster (for most people)
25,000 Viz = V-Machine item - Allows you to play any game without paying Viz (doesn't include cd games)
50,000 Viz = Playstation item - Allows you to play 380+ different Playstation games
Any game that is donated that I already own (or isn't retro) will be sold and all the money made from sold games will go toward expanding Vizzed. It costs a lot of money to keep this site up and I know a lot of users want to help out but don't have money to donate so this is a great opportunity, especially since a lot of you probably have games lying around that you don't plan to play anymore and may even need to make room for new games.
Respond to the following thread with a list of games you're willing to donate and I'll tell you how much Viz I'd give you for the games and I'll PM you the address to send the games to. The following thread also has more information on this offer.

This is an "Official" Vizzed tournament. As some of you know, I plan to hold 4 a year.
Unlike the last Vizzed Tournament (which will be headed to the final round next week), this tournament will be all elimination rounds, well double elimination to be exact. In other words, lose 2 games and you're out of the tournament.
Everyone starts out in the "winners" bracket and if you lose, you go on to the "losers" bracket and if you lose in the losers bracket, you're out of the tournament. At the very end, the winner of the winners bracket and the winner of the losers bracket play each other but the winner of the losers bracket has to beat the winner of the winners bracket twice (this makes it fair to the user who went undefeated for going undefeated).
Since this is a double elimination tournament, there is no way for me to know how long it'll last since the amount of people who sign up determines how long it'll last but if I were to take a guess, I'd say around 6 weeks. I will allow any number of users to join but we will need an even number. Bye weeks may be handed out to users who do very well if needed in order to balance out the structuring of the brackets.
We'll be playing most of the multiplayer games that are on the Wii-U's latest game called 'NES Remix', which includes: Balloon Fight, Baseball, Clu Clu Land, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, Golf, Ice Climber, Mario Bros., Pinball, Tennis, Urban Champion, and Wrecking Crew. The players of each matchup will get to choose which game they want to pick and each matchup will involve you playing at least 2 games with each user picking one of them and if one user wins both games, they are declared winner of that matchup but if each player wins 1 game each, players both pick 1 more game each and do the process over again and this cycle repeats until one of the user wins both selected games.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer
-If you're on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It's not quite Christmas yet but I wanted to get a head start.
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'.
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
I put together a list of about 50 Christmas games that can be played in the RGR:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69406
Earn an easy 1000 Viz
I also put together a video highlighting 12 Christmas games (non hacked):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbh8UIMMj8
I'll give you 1000 Viz for liking and commenting on the above youtube video. Let me know in the below thread once you've done this.
Tell your friends about the site and earn lots of Viz
From now until the end of the year, if you refer 10 people to the site, I'll give you 20,000 Viz on top of the 5000+ Viz that you'll automatically get for referring them. In other words, you'll earn 25,000+ Viz for referring 10 of your friends to the site. There's a ton of kids on Christmas break, a lot of them may be looking for something to do, why not introduce them to Vizzed? Once you've referred the users (and they've registered), let me know in the below thread.
Christmas Streams
There's going to be a few users doing live streams of Christmas games over the next few days, including myself. You can find a list of Twitch Streamers on Vizzed here:

I've created a page dedicated to users of vizzed who want to live stream themselves playing games in the Retro Game Room:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/twitchstreamers.php
The page will show all of the users who plan to do stream and all of the active streams. It'll also display up to 4 live streams on that page along with the chat rooms to talk with the streamers so be sure to check it out! Also be sure to "follow" the streamers that you may be interested in by clicking the heart icon on their streaming page.
If you're interested in doing your own live streams, be sure to respond to this thread letting me know what your twitch channel is and I'll add you to the list:

Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
I put together a list of about 48 Christmas games that can be played in the RGR:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69406
Earn an easy 1000 Viz
I also put together a video last year highlighting 12 Christmas games (non hacked):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbh8UIMMj8
I'll give you 1000 Viz for liking and commenting on the above youtube video. Let me know in the below thread once you've done this.
Tell your friends about the site and earn lots of Viz
From now until the end of the year, if you refer 10 people to the site, I'll give you 20,000 Viz on top of the 5000+ Viz that you'll automatically get for referring them. In other words, you'll earn 25,000+ Viz for referring 10 of your friends to the site. There's a ton of kids on Christmas break, a lot of them may be looking for something to do, why not introduce them to Vizzed? Once you've referred the users (and they've registered), let me know in the below thread.
Vizzed RGR Christmas Competitions

Free Netplay
For the rest of this month, you do not need the Netplay item to create netplay sessions of games in the Retro Game Room (normally it costs 10,000 Viz for this item). Netplay in the Retro Game Room allows you to play multiplayer games with other users on the site, supported game systems include: Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Turbo Grafx and Nintendo 64.
Live Stream Right Now!
lilwildwolf21 is doing a Christma themed live stream marathon on twitch so be sure to tune in:
http://www.twitch.tv/djinn8345
He also does live streams every weeknight from 8 PM - 12 AM (central time) so be sure to catch his streams all month long. He usually does various games in the RGR but his primary focus will be Christmas games.
If you have any questions, comments or feedback, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69922
Vizzed.com is looking for users who are willing to play games in the Retro Game Room and live stream themselves doing so. If you're not familiar with live streaming but are interested, sign up to http://www.twitch.tv/ and you can find out how to live stream and they'll also provide you the tools to live stream on their site.
You can stream yourself playing any game, do what you're interested in doing or what you think will get you viewers. You can stream yourself playing through a game, you can stream yourself playing Christmas games, you can stream yourself trying out rom hacks, you can stream yourself playing netplay games with others, etc.
I'll pay you 10,000 Viz a month if you do at least 10 hours worth of streaming games in the Retro Game Room. It'll be your responsibility to contact me once a month letting me know that you did the 10+ hours. This is a great opportunity for anyone to earn some Viz and to potentially make money off of twitch as well (you can earn money on twitch if you become popular enough). Most of you are already playing games in the RGR so why not stream yourself playing games while your at it and get rewarded? Also, if you do 25+ hours of streaming in a single month, I'll give you the Playstation item which gives you access to 100s of Playstation games on Vizzed!

As of Today, 12-06-13, Vizzed Board is 9 years old!
This year we've seen the site slowly start to migrate in different directions. We've seen the Video Game Room start to take off, I've introduced you all to some new features such as the Price Guide/Game Collection and the Contribution Point system and I've been putting some more focus on the forum itself as well. The Retro Game Room is of course still expanding as well with 7 systems added in the past year and well over 1000 new games added and plenty of new features to go along with them.
You can find the awards and additional anniversary information here:

Video Game Wish Lists
I've added a new feature to the site: Wishlist. This is a Video Game Room exclusive feature and it allows you to add games to your own Wishlist.
How to use it:
Go to the Video Game Room (link can be found at the top left of every page) and find a game. From the game's page, toward the top of the page right below the game's title you'll see a link that says 'Add to Wishlist'; click that and simply fill out the form. Your profile will than keep track of every game you would like to one day own and you'll be able to see the wishlists of other users as well (the link to a user's wishlist can be found at the top right of their profile).
Benefits of this feature:
-Helps you keep track of all the games you'd like to own someday
-If someone has a game in their Game Collection for sale that you add to your Wishlist, it'll notify that user that you want to own a game that they want to sell
-Likewise, if you add a game to your Wishlist and someone adds that same game to their Game Collection and also marks it as for sale, you'll be notified
-This feature can also help users find users to trade and borrow games with
If you want to see an example of what a Wishlist looks like, you can see mine here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=wishlist
Win a Game that you've added to your Wishlist!
As a way to promote this feature and the Game Collection feature (and as a way to do something fun for Christmas), I'm giving away $100 worth of games as Christmas presents. So basically I will pick a random user who has added at least 1 game to their Wishlist and pick a random game from their list and buy them that game and send it to them as a Christmas gift (and they'll receive it before Christmas).
Rules:
1. You must have at least 1 game on your Wishlist. The more games you add, the better your chances are of winning but anything past 16 games wont increase your chances (but you're still encouraged to add more than 16 games if you have more than 16 games that you want).
2. Add every game that you physically own to your Game Collection. The more games you have in your game collection the better your chances are of winning but anything past 64 games wont increase your chances (but you're still encouraged to add more than 64 games if you really own more than 64 games). You can add games to your game collection either from the game pages of the Video Game Room or from the Batch Game Adder page)
3. Reply to this thread to apply: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69131
Tip:
My budget is $100 and I'll continue to give out games until my budget runs out. The games I give out will not exceed $60. I'll pick a random qualifying game from your list if you get
Offer ends on December 11th and that's also when the winners will be revealed.

I've been working with a company that makes clear plastic boxes and I've ordered a huge quantity of what I'm calling game box protectors. You put your boxed games in the box protectors and it keeps it safe. I'm currently selling them on amazon as you can see here so they're currently only available to USA users. I'm selling box protectors for Nintendo NES, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. The Game Boy box protectors also work for Virtual Boy. The SNES/N64 box protectors also work for Atari Jaguar. The NES box protectors also worked for the cardboard boxed Genesis and 32X games.
Here's links to the amazon pages and also images of what they look like:
Nintendo 64 / Super Nintendo Box Protectors

Nintendo NES Box Protectors
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3OBDZ0
Game Boy Color/Advance Box Protectors
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E70AFOK
Free Samples Available:
If anyone is interested in receiving a free sample, there are 3 ways you can get one from me:
1. Take a picture of an actual boxed NES, GB, GBC, GBA, N64 or SNES game that you own as proof that you'd have a use for this box protector, make sure to write your username down on something and place it in the picture. Submit that picture to this thread.
or
2. Send me 1000 Viz
or
3. Be a staff member
I'm giving out only 1 sample per a user but if you haven't got a sample of my SNES/N64 box protectors yet, you can still qualify for a free sample of one of those.
If you do either of the top 3 things, I'll give you a $4 amazon gift card, enough to buy a sample of any of my box protectors, the only requirement is that you have to live in the USA. Be sure to let me know which one you want a sample of or if you want all 3. If you like the Box Protector, than please give me positive feedback on the amazon page.
I know there's a lot of game collectors on this site so I'm sure this will be of interest to someone. All profits that I make will go toward the site. I'm also selling other stuff in my store and plan to add more stuff to sell as seen here:

In a week from now, you'll no longer be able to retrieve screenshots that were taken more than a year ago. Screenshots that you've already submitted to a game page will be fine but you wont be able to edit their information anymore if they're over a year old.
This update is necessary so that users can no longer submit screenshots to the wrong game. A year ago I made an update to the way screenshots are handled and all screenshots after that update are being named correctly while the ones before that update were being named incorrectly which resulted into users being able to submit a screenshot to the wrong game but with the same name that the screenshot was taken from (so for example, if you took a screenshot of "Toy Story 2" for the Game Boy Color, the scr

The site migration and maintenance is complete. The site should now be working properly and running at top speed.
For those who don't know, the site has been in the process of a migration over the past few months and in the past few days, that process has been finalizing. This migration was a mandatory hostgator migration and I'm real glad it's finally done. This also means that the site wont be going down at 6 AM (central time) every day due to backups, it'll only go down once a week now at that same time for a single weekly backup.

The Pokemon Rom Hacking competition deadline has been extended by 3 months. The deadline was originally October 16th, 2013 but the new deadline is January 21st, 2014. The reason for the extension is due to the lack of hacks submitted for the competition. With this extension, there's plenty of time to start making your own Pokemon hack and way more than enough time to finish any hacks you might have in progress for the competition.

This is a feature that some of you know about that I've been working on for a few weeks on and off. It's now ready for testing. To test it out, find a game in the Video Game Room that you own in real life and than click the 'Add to Collection' link right under the game's name. This will bring up a form, fill it out as accurately as you can for the most accurate price of what your game is worth. Once you've added a game to your collection, a link on your profile will appear that will allow you and others to see a list of all the games in your collection. You can view my collection here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=1&profile=collection
(note that I still have yet to add all of my games to it, I have way more than 3)
The video game price guide is a feature that will allow you to look up the price of a game and also add games that you really own to your collection list.
Benefits of adding your games to your collection list:
-Helps you keep track of what you own
-It'll give you the value of each game you own (doesn't include all systems or games yet)
-It'll give you the total value of your entire collection
-Allows you to show off your collection
Future benefits:
-If you
-If you
-Game Collector Card: Every user will have a generated card graphic which rates their collection and gives a few facts and statistics about it and users will be able to share that card by either placing it in their layout or placing it on another site (and when clicked, it takes the user to your game collection)
-Plenty more that I'm not ready to share yet
Other future features:
-Will include game systems and accessories
-I'll be adding more game to the VGR (not RGR)
-Collection categorized by system
-Collection filter to order your collection by price, date acquired, etc
-A quick add game page which will allow you to add your collection quickly
-A page showing the most valuable games and the newly listed ebay listings
-A statistics page showing which users own the most games for which system and all systems
-A printable price guide for each system
-Charts showing if a game's value is going up or down and by how much
-Charts also showing if your game collection is going up or down and by how much
-Mobile app (more details on that later)
-Plenty more that I'm not ready to share yet
The prices are based on ebay listings and there are some ebay listings that don't get placed in the proper category or under the proper game. On any game page, if you click the 'Price Guide' link, you'll see all of the ebay listings that the price numbers are based on. Currently only staff can remove listings that don't belong to a certain game but every user has the ability to move a listing to the proper category (for example, if you see a game that's listed as 'New' but it's really 'Complete', you can move it). You get CP and Viz for helping categorize the listings but you do have a daily limit on how many listings you can categorize and the staff will monitor this stuff to make sure no one is intentionally moving listings to the wrong category.
If you have any questions, comments or feedback, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=65875
EDIT: Since this feature launched in beta, the following updates have been added:
Profile Collection Updates:
-Games are now organized by game system
-Your collection now displays not only displays total value and game count but also the total value and game count of each system
-If user has added gamertag to their profile (just added) and if they've also selected 'Play Online' for a game, it'll show their gamertag in the 'Play Online' column
Game Submission and Edit Updates:
-Condition area only appears if you selected Loose or Complete
-VGA Grade area only appears if you selected New
-Added 'Digital' if your game was a digital download
-Completeness area has been moved to the left and Condition to the right
-The 'Play Online' area only appears if the game system supports online play
-When you Edit or Remove a game, you get redirected to your profile
-When you Add a game, you can click to be redirected to profile, game or search
-Ability to add your Nintendo Friend Code to your games (go to edit your profile to add your xbox gamertag or playstation name which will be applied to all your xbox or playstation games)
The PSX item and games are back to their original Viz prices and creating netplay sessions now requires the netplay item again, however, I've added 3 new systems to the site for a total of 195 games. Almost every game was added for the 3 new systems so they're almost complete libraries. Below are the newly added systems:
Virtual Boy: 28 Games added
This was a cartridge system made by Nintendo that failed miserably in the mid 90s. The system mounted to your head in order for the games to appear 3D (all the games were in red). The games on vizzed don't support the stereoscopic 3D but the emulator has been modified to play the games in a clear 2D.
Turbo Grafx CD: 102 Games added
This was a CD addon system made by NEC for the Turbo Grafx, similar to the Sega CD addon for the Sega Genesis. Most of the games for this system were released in Japan but it did have some American releases. Since it's a CD system, the games are very large. This system does support netplay on vizzed.
PC-FX: 65 Games Added
This was a 32 bit CD system made by NEC that was only released in Japan. This system is incredibly rare and the only opportunity you'll probably ever have to play this system is by playing it on vizzed. The games have a lot of anime cut scenes as to why the games are very large. The 8 multi disc games for this system currently don't support disc swapping, this will be fixed in the future. This system also support netplay on vizzed.
All of these systems are rare and it's safe to assume that most of you probably haven't heard of all of these systems and some of you probably haven't heard of any of these systems but that's what vizzed is all about, discovering games that would otherwise be forgotten and unheard of.
It took me a quite a bit of time to find and add these games so if you want to help out, help add content to the newly added games such as screenshots, reviews or videos. Since 2 of the new CD system's games cost a lot of Viz and since the V-Machine and Laptop item doesn't cover CD systems, users are going to be in need of Viz so if you do any of the below offers for the new systems, I'll give you 15,000 Viz (which is enough for the Download Accelerator which will make these games download faster).
-Take 10 unique screenshots for 5 different newly added games (total of 50 screenshots) for games that don't already have screenshots
or
-Take a total of 2 hours worth of videos for 2 or more games
or
-Write 1000+ words worth of reviews (example: 2 500 word reviews, 1 1000 word review, etc)
Offer expires 10/20/2013

After battling with site issues for the past month or so, I think I've finally fixed the problem where the site would get really slow and constantly go down. I've spent countless hours working on the site to get back to the speed it use to be it wasn't soon enough because the site's traffic has dropped by around half which means the site revenue has dropped by half as well. Donations would be great to help me keep up with the site finances but what would help out the site even more is if you all told your friends about the site and advertised vizzed.com wherever you can, it'd be great to get some of that traffic back.
As a reward for everyone's patience during this time, all of the games are 50% off of their normal Viz prices and netplay is free until September 22nd (the games had been free during the time the site was slow but they didn't save to profiles since you weren't actually "buying" them when they were free). Another way I plan on saying thanks to everyone's loyalty is by releasing more games to the site in September. I'll release 3-5 new systems in the month of September. And for my last reward, the Playstation item in the item shop is 50% off which puts it down to 25,000 Viz!

A picture of the copy of Duck Tales you can win in this month's SPECIAL High Score Competition
This is a new monthly competition which will take place every 3 months, August, November, February and May. This competition is very similar to the VCS competition except this competition isn't a posting competition, it's a competition based on Contribution Points.
For those who don't know, CP is a measure of how much you contribute to the site. Almost every action on the site has CP and Viz attached to it. The higher your CP is, the more features that will be available to you, the more Viz you can earn and the more respected you'll be among the staff and the rest of the users. It will also increase your chances of becoming a staff member.
List of Contribution Point Actions and a list of points you've earned:

I've been working with a company that makes clear plastic boxes and I've ordered a huge quantity of what I'm calling game box protectors. You put your boxed games in the box protectors and it keeps it safe. I'm currently selling them on amazon as you can see here so they're currently only available to USA users. I'm selling box protectors for Nintendo NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.
Here's links to the amazon pages and also images of what they look like:
Nintendo NES Box Protectors
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3OBDZ0
Game Boy Color/Advance Box Protectors
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E70AFOK
Free Samples Available:
If anyone is interested in receiving a free sample, there are 3 ways you can get one from me:
1. Take a picture of an actual boxed NES, GB, GBC or GBA game that you own as proof that you'd have a use for this box protector, make sure to write your username down on something and place it in the picture. Submit that picture to this thread.
or
2. Send me 1000 Viz (or 2000 if you want 2 samples).
or
3. Be a staff member
If you do either of the top 3 things, I'll give you a $4 amazon gift card, enough to buy a sample of either the Nintendo NES or Game Boy box protector, the only requirement is that you have to live in the USA. Be sure to let me know which one you want a sample of or if you want both. If you like the Box Protector, than please give me positive feedback on the amazon page. I plan to also sell SNES/N64 box protectors in the future.
I know there's a lot of game collectors on this site so I'm sure this will be of interest to someone. All profits that I make will go toward the site. I'm also selling other stuff in my store and plan to add more stuff to sell as seen here:

Btw, maintenance is still going on and I still have no idea when it'll be finished. Instead of backing up the site 3 times a day, I'm only going to do it twice a day, 12 pm (central time) and 11 pm (central time)
There's still no word on when the maintenance will be complete, hostgator is taking their time and giving me very little information.
In the previous announcement I mentioned backing up the site 3 times a day. Basically any content submitted to the site before I make a backup will most likely be safe and has a better chance of not being lost. Any content made after a backup has a better chance of being lost once the migration is complete; read the previous announcement for more information as to why this is the case.
Here are the times I'll be making the backups (the times aren't exact):
-11 AM Central Time
-5 PM Central Time
-11 PM Central Time
So if you plan to submit a lot of content to the site, try to do it before a backup.
I should also point out that while these backups take place, the site will become slower and will go down a few times. The backups shouldn't take more than 15-30 minutes each.
If you have any questions, please ask here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=62785
Site maintenance is still going on (refer to previous announcement) and may still take 24-72 hours, however, I've made all the site features available again but here's the catch, it's possible that you could lose 0-8 hours worth of content that you submit to the site during this time. So if you post or send private messages, it's possible that you may lose 8 hours worth of posts or messages so if you make any big posts during this time, be sure to save the contents of your post to word pad or note pad. You will not lose any game saves and if you take any screenshots and they disappear, they're still available on the server, you'll just have to resubmit them. The site will be slower than normal during this maintenance.
The games will continue to be 0 Viz until the maintenance is complete. I will make another announcement when the maintenance is complete.
So what is this maintenance about? Well hostgator decided that I needed to upgrade my server (I had no choice) so started to migrate the database to a new server a few days ago and they still haven't finished. This has forced me to backup the database every 6-12 hours so that when the transfer is complete, the most recent content on the old database isn't lost (as soon as the transfer is complete, they're taking down the old server).
I apologize for this inconvenience and I'll do my best to make it up to you all in the upcoming week.
The site will be undergoing maintenance for the next 24-48 hours. While the maintenance goes on, all of the RGR games will be 0 Viz, so be sure to take advantage of this and play as many games as you want
(you will not get to "keep" them though)
During this time, the following features will still be available:
-Playing games
-Netplay lobby
-Game saving
-Chat Room
-Logging in and logging out
-Profile Commenting
-Many others
Some of the things that you do after the maintenance begins will be lost after the maintenance ends, which includes profile commenting, game rating, screenshot and video rating, Viz earning, game buying/selling, etc.
During this time, the following features will not be available:
-Registration
-Posting
-Game Commenting
-Submitting Screenshots
-Submitting Videos
-HighScore and Speedruns
-Private Message System
I'll make another announcement once everything is back to normal.
Here's your chance to learn how to hack Pokemon games for the Game Boy Advance (Fire Red, Leaf Green, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald) and also earn real money in the process! On top of that cash rewards, you can earn tons of CP and Viz as well.
Here's how it works. You create a Rom hack of any of the GBA Pokemon games and when it's all finished, you send it to tRIUNE and he'll add it to the site so that others can play it. From that point, you can earn $200+. Read below for more details.
What is a Pokemon Rom Hack:
It's where you redesign the towns, change locations of Pokemon, change the Pokemon (including stats, name and looks), graphics, title screen, menus, items, music/sounds, write new scr

Earnings:
Once the competition is over, whoever has the best rated game with at least 3 votes and at least 5,000 plays wins $200 (real money). 2nd place will win $50. If for some reason very few users enter and therefore no one reaches at least 5,000 plays, than only the 2nd place prize will be handed out.
You can also earn money even if you don't place. Between now and February 16th, for each 10,000 views your game gets, you'll earn $20 (a maximum of $100 per a game). To qualify for this, your game must have at least a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The money can be paid in multiple ways. I can send you the money via paypal, buy you an amazon gift card, buy and send you Microsoft Points, buy and send you Nintendo Points, buy you something online, etc. If you wanted to take Viz instead of the cash, than you could take 300,000 Viz instead of the $200, 75,000 Viz instead of the $50, and 30,000 Viz instead of the $20.
Additional Earnings:
You'll earn 1 Viz for each play your game gets and 0.1 CP for each 10 plays your game gets. So if your game gets 15,000 views (which is about the average amount of views hacked GBA Pokemon games have right now), you'd earn 15,000 Viz and 150 CP. On top of that, you'd earn tons of CP and Viz each time the game receives a good rating. All of these earnings are automated and will be in effect forever, even after this competition is over (if your game has more than 1 developer, earnings will be evenly split among all developers).
Submission Deadline:
October 16th, 2013.
Payout Date:
December 16th, 2013 is when we'll figure out who won and who deserves how much money.
Rules and Info:
-The game must be made for vizzed.com and must be made available only on vizzed
-Vizzed.com must be placed on the title screen somewhere (since vizzed will basically be the "publisher" of your game)
-The hack can be about anything, there aren't really any guidelines to follow
-You may work with a team but you'll than have to split the earnings
-Games must be finished to qualify
-Limit of 3 games per a user (that doesn't include games you work on with others)
-Limit of 5 developers per a game
-Only games created after 7/13/2013 count
-You can hack any of the Pokemon games for Game Boy Advance, which includes Pokemon Fire Red, Pokemon Leaf Green, Pokemon Ruby, Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Emerald
-You may submit your game as a demo/beta to the site to be tested but demos/betas will not qualify for the earnings and we'll only accept them if they're at least 25% complete
-Anyone caught cheating in any way will be disqualified and possibly even banned for life
-You'll be given admin powers for your game pages so that you can add, edit and remove content and graphics
-You may promote your own game by submitting screenshots to it, editing the game page, creating various threads for it (as long as they're not spam), recording videos for it & uploading them to the vizzed youtube account, creating a custom boxart graphic, responding to comments or threads regarding your game, telling your friends about it, advertising it on the internet, etc
Want to learn how to hack Pokemon games?
earthwarrior put together a few threads in the Game Design / RPG Maker / Rom Hacking forum. Here you'll find his General Hacking Guide thread which has all the information you need to start hacking as well as links and resources:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60387
If you have any questions regarding rom hacking or if you need help, ask him in that thread. You can find additional help, create a help thread, or create a project thread here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/forum.php?id=10&sub=Pokemon%20Hacking
(you can also post a thread about your ideas if you want others to join your project)
Tips:
-The more time you put into your rom hack, the more likely it is to earn you money. If you put less than 50 hours into the hack, there's a good chance that you wont earn money from it but your still free to submit it and earn Viz & CP from it.
-Change as many things with your hack as you can. Changing the graphics, music, title screen and/or towns can definitely increase your chances
-Giving it a vizzed theme in some way could increase your chances of winning since the people playing and rating your game will be members of vizzed. Things such as giving users of the site cameos in the game, creating towns based on vizzed, etc.
-Giving it a Christmas or Winter theme could potentially help since the voting will take place around that time. Of course this strategy wouldn't work if to many users tried doing this.
-Play as many GBA Pokemon rom hacks as you can in the Retro Game Room to get ideas and inspiration for your hack.
This competition has the highest payout of any competition vizzed has ever had! I figured there are lots of users who have plenty of free time and would love to put that time to use by making hacks based on their favorite games and than to be able to share them with their friends and earn money in the process.

Thanks to tom760, the developer of the RGR Plugin, the Plugin now works with the latest firefox. The best part about it, you wont even need to upgrade your RGR Plugin, the update was made within the play game window. Be sure to give tom760 a thanks

The latest version of Firefox causes the RGR Plugin to not work. There's 2 solutions to this problem:
1. Use a different internet browser such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc
or
2. Downgrade Firefox to version 21
Here's how to downgrade firefox and to make prevent it from updating again:
1. Download and install firefox version 21 here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/21.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2021.0.exe
(if you need version 21 in a different language, go here)
2. Open up firefox and go to your options window (click the 'Firefox' button at the top right to find the options window), than go to the Advanced tab and than click the Update tab. From here, choose to either check for updates but not install, or never check for updates. This will make it so that firefox wont update itself which would cause the plugin to stop working again.
That's it, simple as that. Once a new version of firefox comes out that doesn't cause RGR Plugin issues, or once we find a better solution and maybe a fix to the problem, I'll make a separate announcement. Thanks to Shadow53 for finding this solution.
If you have any questions or comments, please respond to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=61997
Firefox usually updates itself automatically so this is probably unavoidable but the latest update of Firefox causes the RGR Plugin not to work. The only way to avoid it automatically updating is to keep your firefox open, don't close it or restart your computer, otherwise it'll automatically update.
If it does get updated, you'll have to use a different internet browser for the time being until we can figure out a solution to this problem. I'd recommend using Google Chrome for the time being, or Internet Explorer.

Part of my goal is to obtain real physical copies of as many games in the Retro Game Room as I can. Since I failed at getting anyone to donate games to the site with my recent offer (except for Kryptic, thanks), I figured this way might be a better way. So here's how it'll work.
-Sell to me a retro game that I don't already own and I'll pay you 50% of what it's worth in real money and 50% of what it's worth in Viz
-Sell to me a modern game and I'll pay you 33-50% of what it's worth in real money and 50-67% of what it's worth in Viz
-Sell to me a retro game that I do already own and I'll pay you 25-33% of what it's worth in real money and 67-75% of what it's worth in Viz
(1000 Viz = US $1)
The real money can be paid in many different ways. I can send you the money to your paypal account, I can buy you an amazon gift card, I can send you Microsoft points, I can buy you something online somewhere, etc. You will receive your rewards after I receive the games in the mail (and yes, you are responsible for paying for the shipping). If you want just Viz instead, that is an option and if you did that instead, I'd pay you at a rate of 1500 Viz = US $1.

I've added a new item to the item shop called 'Game Accelerator' (as seen here) which makes the RGR game downloads up to 10 times faster. I did a test on a 13 MB file, without the item the game downloaded in 65 seconds but with the item, the game downloaded in 5 seconds. Staff members don't need the item for faster downloads.
So how does this work? Basically if you own the 'Game Accelerator' item, or are a staff member, your game downloads download from a separate dedicated server than the downloads that regular users have access to. So the site now has 2 servers dedicated to hosting the files.
This does increase monthly costs by nearly $200 but I had to do something because the regular file server gets a lot of downloads and big games can take a very long time to download so for users who play a lot of big games, this is a great solution. This could also pull a little strain off of the regular file server too which could potentially speed up the downloads on that a little. I'm also hoping this encourages users to donate in order to get the 'Game Accelerator' item since it's a very handy item to own.
For now, the Game Accelerator item will cost 10,000 Viz but that price will slowly go up as more and more users get the item so be sure to get it now at the best price, otherwise you could pay 2-5 times more in the future.

You can earn up to 10,000 Viz for each of the above competitions, so be sure to compete!
This is an "Official" Vizzed tournament. As some of you know, I plan to hold 4 a year.
This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams.
This tournament will last for 12 weeks. The first 3 games will determine who advances into the regular games (I use this to weed out those who don't participate). The next 5 games are regular games and will be used to determine who goes to the elimination rounds. The last 4 games are the elimination rounds and the last round of course is the final game.
You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your team mate and let me know what your team name is. Your team may also contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role.
The games that this tournament will involve:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Moto Roader (TG)
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge (SNES)
-Peace Keepers (SNES)
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Turbo Grafx games (in fact, if SNES netplay doesn't work for you, you will have a disadvantage)
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334
Prizes:
1st = 100,000 Viz
2nd = 50,000 Viz
3rd = 25,000 Viz
(teams will share the prize)
Team Entry Fee: 10,000 Viz
(you can send me the Viz by going to my profile)
Rebate: 5,000 Viz
If you participate throughout the entire competition, you will get 5000 of that Viz refunded. If you drop out or fail to participate, you will not get your 5000 Viz back.
If you want to enter, send me the 10,000 Viz and reply to the below thread with your team name, who the leader of the team is and who is on your team
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60335
In this competition, you have to try and correctly name as many games as you can. Whoever names the most games correct once the competition ends, which will be June 24th 2013, will win US $100. If more than 1 user tie, the earnings will be split among those users (unless there happens to be tie between more than 10 users, than only the first 10 users will split the earnings). The $100 can be paid by paypal or I can buy something online for you such as Microsoft Points, Amazon Gift Card, etc.
Here's how to sign up to this competition so that you can be eligible for the prize:
-Subscribe to my Youtube Channel and than post a comment to the video (any comment is fine) and also like the video if you liked it
-Respond to this thread letting me know that you're entering this competition:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=59877
Once you've done the above, send me a Private Message with your answers (be sure to specify the game system for each game). If you ever update your answers in the future, feel free to send me another private message in the future with your updated answers (but I will only accept your most recent private message).
Tips:
-All of the games are playable in the Retro Game Room of Vizzed.com
-Most of the games were released in the USA but some were only released in Europe
-None of the games are arcade games
-None of the games are hacked or homebrew games
-A few of the games have more than 1 answer
-There's 50 games and each game is shown for about 9 seconds
-The games start out easy and progressively get harder

Tour de Vizzed Winter 2013 Results can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=52120
This is the very first "Official" vizzed tournament. I plan to hold 4 a year.
This competition will involve games of multiple genres.
Each user will play 8 games of "regular" season and the users with the best record will advance to a playoffs. Depending on how many people enter this tournament, the playoffs will be 3 or 4 games.
Each week you'll play against a user 3 times in 3 different games. You get a point for each win which contributes to your overall points. Users will be separated into divisions and whoever has the most points in their division will advance to the playoffs.
The games that this tournament will involve:
-Super Mario Kart (snes)
-Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers (snes)
-Donkey Kong (nes)
-Sonic 2 (gen)
-D-Pad Hero 2 (nes)
There will be a few other games as well but they will remain secret for now
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for NES, SNES, Genesis and Netplay games (since that's what we'll be using)
Prizes:
1st = 50,000 Viz
2nd = 10,000 Viz
3rd = 5,000 Viz
Entry Fee: 1,000 Viz
(you can send me the Viz by going to my profile)
The tournament will probably start next Wednesday, 4/3/2013. If you want to enter, send me the 1000 Viz and reply to this thread:

Contribution Point System
I've been working on this feature for 3 weeks now so I'm very excited to finally introduce you all to the Contribution Point System.
This new point system is a measure of how much you contribute to the site. Almost every action on the site now has CP and Viz attached to it. The higher your CP is, the more features that will be available to you and the more respected you'll be among the staff and the rest of the users. It will also increase your chances of becoming a staff member.
List of Contribution Point Actions and a list of points you've earned:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/contributionpoints.php
That page will show every single action, a descr
Moderators have the ability to track all Contribution Actions and they also have the ability to remove points that you earn from certain actions so if you're caught abusing the system in any way, you'll be stripped of your points and probably banned.
As time goes on, I'll add more actions to the list of actions that award you Viz and CP.
User Submitted Game Content
Users with a power level of "Normal" and above now have the ability to add content and change content on games.
Here's how it works: Each game page has a link that you can click that opens up a window with all kinds of data that you can change for a game. If a game is missing any information, you simply click to add it and a staff member will review your request. If your request is a good request, a staff member will accept your request and your content will be added to the game's page and you'll be granted CP and Viz.
If you submit bad content, you'll be at risk of being down rated by a staff member and users with less than 0 Trust Points can't submit content.
Users can also submit content to games in the Video Game Room.
In the future I'll make it so that you can add graphics to games and also add missing games.
Vizzed.com 10 Year Anniversary
Vizzed.com (not vizzed board) turned 10 years old earlier this month. More information here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=55723
Want to become a Site Staff member?
Anyone who can get 750+ points this month or next month will qualify for a staff position. If you get 750+ this month or next month, send me a Private Message letting me know and I'll look into the action log and if your earned your points legitimately, I'll give you a Site Staff position.
If you have any questions or feedback, please post it to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=55729
For the entire Month of March, there will be unlimited Netplay. This means that there wont be any Netplay restrictions. Usually you can only join sessions and need the special 'Netplay' item to create the sessions.
Hopefully this will encourage more netplay sessions to take place.
If you have any questions or feedback, post to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=55250
Some recently asked questions:
What is Netplay?
It allows you to play many of the games in the Retro Game Room online in multiplayer mode with 1 or more other users. Some of the systems include: Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, N64, Nintendo NES and more.
How do I create a session?
Go to a game that supports netplay. Scroll down to the netplay section and click the link to create a netplay session. Fill in the info and your game will become ready for other people to join.
How do I join a session?
Each game that supports netplay will show a list of active sessions. You can also go to the lobby page (link at top of the RGR) and that page will have a list of all active sessions for all games. That page also has a chat room where you can talk with users and ask which games they'd be willing to play with you.

I took down the Vizzed Youtube Video Uploader a few weeks ago but it's now back up.
What is the 'Vizzed Youtube Video Uploader'?
It allows you to upload videos to the Vizzed youtube account that you recorded with the Vizzed RGR Plugin. This is convenient for users who don't have a youtube account, don't want to clutter their own youtube account or simply want to help out vizzed.
Where do you find the 'Vizzed Youtube Video Uploader'?
In the video section of any game page, you'll see a link that says 'Click to Upload your Video to Vizzed Youtube', you click that.
How do you record videos using the Vizzed RGR Plugin?
Not all games support it but many games let you record a video of yourself playing the game by pressing either F8 or clicking the Record button which appears in the play window. By default, some games don't support video recording so sometimes you gotta click the 'Play game using Mednafen' link at the top left of the play window.
Here's how you can earn Viz by simply recording yourself playing games
This is probably the easiest way to earn lots of Viz; simply record videos of your gameplay and upload it to either your youtube account (be sure to link your video to the game's page) or by uploading it to the Vizzed youtube account. More information here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=49859
If you have any questions or feedback, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=54253
Over the past few months since my last batch of games added, I've added 242 more, I've also fixed a few that weren't working in the RGR that I'll list since you probably wouldn't know. An additional update is the inclusion of the Real Time Clock enabled for Pokemon hacks. Basically, some of them require that setting enabled in order for certain time-based events to occur which may have prevented progression in the game without it. Enjoy.

For the past few years, the forum has desperately been in need of a new Trust Point System, one that can't be as easily abused and one that the staff has more control over. I have finally recreated the Trust Point System from the ground up using ideas that I've come up with and that others have come up with over the past few years.
For those who don't know, the Trust Point system is a system that measures a user's loyalty to vizzed and their trustworthiness among the forum users. When a user gets enough Trust Points, they become a 'Trusted Member' which gives them a few extra privileges and sets them apart from everyone else.
Trust Points are meant to be earned by posting quality posts and by earning respect from fellow users and staff. Trust Points are NOT meant to be purchased or asked for and anyone asking for them is at risk of losing all their current points and possibly even banned.
For more information on how the new system works or if you have questions & feedback, go here:

The RGR Plugin 2.0 is finally here and just in time for the 3 year anniversary of the RGR Plugin (not the anniversary of the Retro Game Room though, that's been around a lot longer). Since the RGR Plugin began development, over $10,000 has bee invested into it. Donations have covered a portion of the costs so I'd like to say thanks to all the users who have donated and supported the RGR Plugin's development. This will probably be the last plugin release for a very long time.

Enjoy
The NFL is in the playoffs and the Super Bowl will be soon so I figured this would be the perfect time to hold a Tecmo Super Bowl Netplay Tournament. We'll be playing the Tecmo Super Bowl 2013 (TecmoBowl.org hack) version of the game.
Each user will play 4 games of "regular" season and the teams with the best record will advance to a playoffs. Depending on how many people enter this tournament, the playoffs will be 3-5 games. When 2 users are paired up to play against each other, they have 2 days to play against each other.
If this tournament goes well, than I'll make it a habit of holding a netplay tournament every month and various games.
Requirements:
-You must live in the United States (there'd be too much lag with people in other countries)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer, especially for NES and Netplay games (since that's what we'll be using)
Prizes:
1st = 10,000 Viz
2nd = 2,500 Viz
3rd = 1,000 Viz
If you want to enter, simply respond to the below thread. The tournament will most likely begin next Monday.

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. A gift from me to everyone else, the Viz price of all games is 50% off! I know it's not Christmas quite yet but I figured I'd let everyone know of all these offers ahead of time so everyone knows about them before Christmas.
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'.
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
I put together a list of about 30 Christmas games that can be played in the RGR:

Earn an easy 1000 Viz
I also put together a video highlighting 12 Christmas games (non hacked):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcbh8UIMMj8
I'll give you 1000 Viz for liking and commenting on the above youtube video. Let me know in the below thread once you've done this.
Tell your friends about the site and earn lots of Viz
From now until the end of the year, if you refer 10 people to the site, I'll give you 20,000 Viz on top of the 5000+ Viz that you'll automatically get for referring them. In other words, you'll earn 25,000+ Viz for referring 10 of your friends to the site. There's a ton of kids on Christmas break, a lot of them may be looking for something to do, why not introduce them to Vizzed? Once you've referred the users (and they've registered), let me know in the below thread.

As of Today, 12-06-12, Vizzed Board is 8 years old!
This year on vizzed we've seen some of the biggest RGR Plugin updates! Sega CD, Netplay, Video Recording, Arcade/MAME and many other new systems and features. In 2013, Vizzed will focus on expanding the site in other directions. There will be a few more RGR Plugin updates but there's been just way too much money invested into the Plugin over the past year, well over $5000 and nearly $10,000 since the RGR Plugin launched. Of course the Retro Game Room will still stay alive and continue to have new games, features and content added to it but non-RGR features that you can expect to see in 2013 includes a Battle Arena, new Item Shop, Avatar Creator, Video Game Music, Flash Game Room and much more!
You can find the awards and additional anniversary information here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=51039
MAME/Arcade Games
As promised, Arcade/MAME games are now available to everyone as of December 1st. Before they were only available to Beta testers (since they needed to be tested first) but now anyone can access them. Some games still need to be tested and renamed so keep that in mind in case you come across a game that doesn't work or if you can't find a specific game because it hasn't been named properly yet.

Getting low on Viz? Want some easy ways to earn it? Here's some offers going on now:
Doritos and Mountain Dew Double XP Codes = 1000+ Viz
Do you have some Halo 4 Double XP codes? You can get the codes off the outside of your Doritos bags, from you Mountain Dew Caps or from inside your Mountain Dew 12 packs. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=49783
Record Videos with RGR Plugin = Up to 50,000 Viz
Since the latest Plugin supports video recording, you can record your gameplay videos and earn Viz. How easy is that? Basically you're earning Viz by doing what you already do - Playing games in the Retro Game Room. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=49859
Rating & Subscribing to Vizzed = Up to 7,500 Viz
Subscribe to vizzed on facebook, youtube, etc. You can earn a ton of Viz by doing various offers that take hardly any time to do. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=31094
Recording Videos of Netplay Sessions = 5,000 - 25,000 Viz
This is a little different than the other Video Recording offer since this one can't be done with the RGR Plugin, this one requires you to use an external video recording software since you gotta capture the entire Play window of the Netplay session. Because of that, this one pays out more Viz. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=50192
Donating money to Vizzed = 10,000+ Viz
Helping out the site financially is one of the best ways to help out, especially with the financial struggles vizzed has been going through. You can earn 10,000 Viz for each US $10 you donate. More info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php

Netplay is available to everyone until January 1st. This means that for the time being, you don't need a Netplay item to create Netplay sessions and everyone has access to the Netplay chat room page.
I also have a new 'United States Limited' server which is a server dedicated to Netplay and should run better than the other 'United States' server. That server will only be available for about a month so take advantage.

This is an optional update, it is not required
RGR Plugin 1.951 is ready for download
Click Here to Download
(Click Here for a Mirror Download)
Fixes some IE game incompatibility
Netplay and various other systems didn't work in Internet Explorer for most people but they should now with this update. Those other systems include: TG, SGFX, SMS, GG, NGP, NGPC, WS, WSC, and AL. It also includes SNES, NES, FDS, GB, GBC, GEN and GBA when played in Mednafen.
Fixes mednafen Audio delay
This fixes the audio delay for Mednafen systems (and netplay), which includes: TG, SGFX, NGP, NGPC, AL, WS, WSC, SMS, GG, *SNES, *GBA, *NES, and *FDS.
* These systems don't play in Mednafen by default but can be played using Mednafen
If you have questions or feedback regarding this update, please post it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=50050
RGR Plugin 1.94 is ready for download
Click Here to Download
(Click Here for a Mirror Download)
NOTE: No save files will be lost in upgrading.
EDIT: I just updated the download links with 1.941 which fixes audio lag in Mednafen systems
Video Recording
This is the biggest feature in this plugin release and is a very commonly requested feature. You now have the ability to record gameplay videos using the RGR Plugin. The games record with little to no lag and the best thing is, it requires no video recording knowledge and no additional software.
Go ahead and start recording some videos and upload them to youtube, just be sure to place a link to the rgr game page and than add that video to the rgr game page (to help increase your videos views and likes AND to help out vizzed). If you want to earn Viz by recording videos, scroll further down this post.
The supported systems include: Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Famicom Disk System, Game Gear, Sega Master System, Turbo Grafx, Atari Lynx, Wonderswan, Wonderswan Color, SuperGrafx, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color and Super Nintendo (SNES requires that you play in Mednafen mode, link can be found at the top left of game window). Also note that Game Boy Advance games can now be played in Mednafen and the benefit of that is Mednafen has higher video recording capabilities (as far as emulation goes, the default VBA is usually best).
Sega CD Fully Supported
Even though Sega CD was added with the last plugin, it wasn't fully supported; this is why it was released in a beta state. Now it's all set and ready to be enjoyed.
Various Fixes
Various things have been fixed, one of them being the N64 Hi-Res Texture hack games.
Want to earn up to 50,000 Viz from recording videos?
Earn up to 1,000 Viz for every 10+ minute video you record. Go here for more information:

If you enjoyed this update and would like to financially support future updates, please take this time to donate. Also keep in mind that server fees still need to be paid monthly so if you want to help us out with the bill, contact me or simply donate.

Normally you need to be either a powerlevel of at least 'Normal' user or have the Netplay/Laptop item in order to join netplay sessions and you need the Netplay/Laptop item in order to join sessions. I recently made it so that anyone can join and create Netplay sessions on the Game of Week and Game of Day games. Not all of the Game of Week/Day games will have multiplayer or support netplay but when they do, you might as well take advantage of it if you currently don't have access to netplay.

Want the Netplay, Beta Test Ticket or Laptop item? Here's a special offer which will offer you the quickest way to earn these items. This offer is open to everyone.
You can earn these items for taking screenshots and also assigning those screenshots to a category (and sub category when available). All previous screenshots you have taken count just as long as you assign them to a category.
Here's how many screenshots you have to take and assign to qualify for the following items:
100 = Beta Test Ticket (allows you to play games before they officially release)
250 = Netplay Item (allows you to create netplay sessions or join them if you're a newbie user)
500 = Laptop and Beta Test Ticket (laptop item allows you to play all games with no viz)
For more information on items and other item shop accessories, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
Bonus:
-If you assign a screenshot to a category or sub category on a game that hasn't had a screenshot submitted to that category or sub category, your submission counts as 1.5 screenshots (example: if a game has user submitted screenshots but no one has taken a screenshot of the title screen and you take one and assign it to the 'Introduction' category or if no one has submitted and assigned a screenshot to certain levels in a game)
-If you take screenshots of a game that has no user submitted screenshots, your submissions for that game count as 1.5 screenshots (in other words, it'd count as 2 screenshots since the above bonus would apply as well)
Rules:
-You must assign all of your screenshots to its proper category
-If your screenshot fits into a sub category, you must also assign it to a sub category
-Your screenshots must be unique; in other words, they can't be too similar to another one of your submissions
-Offer ends November 1st
Tips:
-Find a game with a lot of levels/locations and take a screenshot of each level/location
-Find games that have few or no screenshots and submit screenshots to those (you can usually find those games on the back pages)
When you've qualified for one of the items, let me know in the below thread which item you want and tell me how many screenshots you took that qualify you for that item and I'll look into it and if I'm satisfied, you'll be granted the item that you're asking for
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=47557
We're looking to hire a few local moderators to help out with the site. If you're interested, you can apply here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=47293
Be sure to read the rules and only apply if you qualify.
The next Tour de Vizzed starts next month and we're introducing a new concept, Teams!
This is your chance to join or create a team. You have until the month ends to do so. There's 3 prizes which get awarded to every member of the winning teams and the top prize is 5000 Viz. If the team competition is a success, we'll continue doing it and introduce new features to it in the future.
Anyone can join or create a team but a team needs to consist of 4 users to be considered a team.
For more information and to sign up, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=47196
Anyone who is wondering what the Tour de Vizzed is, you can find more info here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/controlpanel.php?category=help&help=terminology&name=Tour%20de%20Vizzed#Tour%20de%20Vizzed
Sega CD games have been added to the site, but they're currently in a beta state and can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=scd
Currently only staff and beta testers can play the games. To become a beta tester, you'll need to buy the 'Beta Test Ticket' for 10,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
The Sega CD games will be available to everyone at the end of the month but if you're not a beta tester or a staff member but want to try it out, we currently have 1 Sega CD game available to everyone; Sonic CD:
https://www.vizzed.com/play/sonic-cd-scd-online-sega-cd-63680-game
There were 220 games released for the Sega CD, Vizzed has almost all of them, however, some of the games that vizzed has may not work or may need fixing, that's why they're in beta.
While the games are in beta, you can play them for free if you own the Laptop item or the V-Machine item but once they're no longer in beta, you wont be able to play the games for free, you'll have to pay for each individual game.
Since the Sega CD games are so large in file size, they're going to cost a lot of Viz to help cut down server fees. The average Sega CD game is going to cost anywhere between 100 - 1500 Viz. If I didn't do that, there's a good chance that so much bandwidth would be sucked up that vizzed would lose money and could potentially close down, so the high Viz prices on the Sega CD games are meant to prevent that from happening (the games are anywhere between 50 - 500 MB each).

The RGR Plugin 1.91 has been in development for almost 3 months but after 100s of hours and $1000 of investments, it is now ready for download:
http://www.vizzed.co/VizzedRgrPlugin-v1.91.msi
And here's a mirror link in case the above link doesn't fully download:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/VizzedRGRPlugin/Installer/VizzedRgrPlugin-v1.91.msi
Netplay
This is the most anticipated feature ever! You can now play various games with others online. You can view all sessions on this page:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/netplaysessions.php
You must have a powerlevel of Normal User and up to join sessions, or you must buy the 'Netplay' item from the itemshop using Viz. For more information on powerlevels, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/controlpanel.php?category=help&help=usernamesandpowerlevels
In order to create netplay sessions, you need to own the 'Netplay' item for 25,000 Viz which you can get here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
Supported Systems: Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo, Turbo Grafx and a few others.
MAME/Arcade Games
Arcade games have been among the most requested games and we're currently in the process of making them available. Since they're in the process of being worked on, they'll only be available to staff members and beta testers. However, if you want to become a beta tester so that you can get early access to the Arcade games, you can buy the 'Beta Test Ticket' from the item shop for 10,000 Viz here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/store.php?action=shops&types=accessory
Once you have that, you can test out the Arcade games. Probably around 30% of the Arcade games currently don't work but they're all free of Viz during the testing phase. Also, all of the Arcade games still need to be renamed. You can find the Arcade games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=mame
Since most of you are now feeling pretty disappointed that you have to either save up Viz or wait a few months to get access to the Arcade games, I've decided to make 8 games available right away:
Small games: Donkey Kong, Marble Madness, Frogger, Flicky
Big games: Metal Slug 5, King of Fighters 2000, Cruisn USA, G.I.Joe
New Systems
Atari 5200 has been added to the Retro Game Room. Apple II and Commodore 64 games are now compatible with the RGR Plugin, they were already available using Java emulators but now they can be played using the RGR Plugin which means better playability, better compatibility and more features. You can find Atari 5200 games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=a5200
If you have any questions, feedback or problems with the new plugin, please reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=45575

Whether you found out from word of mouth, the recent newsletter or because you already have access, a lot of you probably know that Netplay is in development and is ready for people to test it out.
If you're interested in testing out the netplay, go to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=44366
Note that only Trusted Members and higher can create netplay sessions, so those who apply to be a netplay tester will only be able to join sessions already created.
Trusted Members: You guys can already access the netplay page; more info here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=44117
Once you've tested out the plugin thoroughly, please leave as much feedback as possible to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=44366
The point of this is to get as much info as possible so that we can get the netplay working as good as possible and released as soon as possible.
As some of you know, I've been working on getting legal backup copies of the games in the RGR. I have a lot already but still a ton to go. Systems you could donate games for include SNES, NES, GBA/GB/GBC, N64, Genesis, TG, etc (basically anything, even modern, but preferably retro).
Here's what I'll give you based on how many games you donate:

The new RGR Plugin 1.7 is available now, download it here:
http://www.vizzed.co/VizzedRgrPlugin-v1_7.msi
This plugin should automatically uninstall the previous when you go to install it.
(click here for a mirror download link if the above isn't working or is too slow)
This new plugin is about 3 times larger than the previous plugin (at around 45 MB), however, it may be the last plugin for a very long time because this new plugin gives me the ability to add new systems to the plugin/rgr without having to release a new plugin. So future systems will be added to the site and made playable without the need for getting another plugin. So this may be the last plugin you'll ever have to install. You wont lose any save files from upgrading.
New Systems
The following are new systems which have been added to the Retro Game Room
-MSX 2
-ColecoVision (supports screenshots and saving)
Newly Supported Systems
The following systems were already playable on the site but now they're playable with the plugin which means they now have better compatibility, playability and features
-Atari 2600 (supports screenshots and saving)
-MSX
Hi-Res N64 Texture Hacks
This new plugin now supports High Resolution texture pack hacks for N64 games. These are basically enhancements to N64 games which either give them waaay better graphics or new graphics. We currently have 10+ games to choose from: https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?hackType=Texture%20Pack
AL, TG, SGFX, NGP, NGPC, SMS, SGG, WS and WSS now support high scores again
The last plugin had problems with high score submissions for Atari Lynx, Turbo Grafx, SuperGrafx, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, WonderSwan and WonderSwan color, so the ability to do high scores was taken down last month. As of this plugin, the feature is back!
Thanks to tom760 for helping make this update possible. To thank him, please donate to his paypal address here: tomwg123@gmail.com If you'd like to see more systems added, please donate to the site to help us speed of the process of getting more games and systems added. You can donate to the site here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/donations.php

The new 'Video Game Room' has launched, which is eventually going to have pages for every video game and all the information and graphics you'll ever need for any game (currently it only has Dreamcast, Playstation, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii). Keep in mind that these games are not playable, this new section of the site will be similar to ign, gamefaqs, or mobygames. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=39056

If you have any questions or feedback, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37506
The server transfer is completely finished. Save files, screenshots, graphics, site files, etc... everything has been transferred to the new server. The site should also be faster than it was before.
If you have any questions or comments, please post them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37452
The transfer isn't quite complete, some screenshots still need to be transferred. The old backed up RGR Plugin save files also still need to be transferred. Everything else is transferred though, the games should all work and the RGR Plugin games should work now. File uploading should work now as well and screenshot submissions and highscore submissions should also work.
If there's something that isn't working since we transferred over to hostgator, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37344
The server transfer is very close to completion, just a few things left to transfer and a few things left to update on the new server. Posting works again. File uploading is still down but it should be back up soon. Maintenance will be completely finished within 12 hours.
The server transfer is going along great so far. The database will be migrated soon so any content submitted to the site during this time will be lost. Because of this, New Posts and New Threads will be down during this time. The Games will continue to work.
The server transfer from Godaddy to Hostgator is in progress and will probably last up to 24-48 hours. File uploading and screenshot taking will be down during this entire time. In less than 12 hours posting will also be down. The RGR games will most likely be up during the entire time since the RGR plugin save files are stored on your local machine and the java game save files are stored on a different server. The site might be extra slow during this time as well.
I'll make a separate announcement within 12 hours with a progress update.
Thanks.
Save File Recovery
After the recent RGR Plugin update, we made it so save files are stored on your computer rather than on the server (to reduce server strain, disk space and bandwidth). For those who may have lost a save file recently because of that or for another reason, you can still recover your old save files. Here's how:
1. Go to the save file manager page:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/savefiles.php
2. Find the save files you want to recover and right click the link to download it.
3. On your computer, go to Start Menu > All Programs > Vizzed Retro Game Room > Open Plugin Data Folder.
4. You'll want to place your downloaded save file into the folder that the RGR Plugin loads the save files from; here's where to place them for each system:
N64 using 1964: 1964 > Save
NES & FDS: FCEUX > sav
GBA & GBC & GB: VBA > Saves
Genesis & 32X: Gens > Saves
SNES: ZSNES > Saves
TG & AL & NGP & NGPC & WS & WSC & SGFX: Mednafen > sav
5. Make sure to keep the original save file name, don't rename it. If there's a save file already in there with the same name, you'll have to replace but make sure that the save file you're replacing it with is your most recent save file.
Additional N64 Plugins
You can now choose which video plugin to play your N64 games with. Some games play better depending on which N64 emulator it's being played in (1964 or Mupen64Plus) or depending on which video plugin you play it with. Different computers and video cards also makes a difference so in some cases, you'll want to play around with it.
To play a certain game with a different video plugin, go to play an N64 game using one of the N64 emulators. On the play window, at the very top right you'll see links, clicking them will reload the game using the selected video plugin. Eventually I'll have the RGR staff go through and figure out which game plays best with which n64 emulator and video plugin.

What graphics were lost?
Every single file that was uploaded to the server between 03-03-12 01:41 PM and 03-14-12 05:23 PM (central time) have been deleted, I'm very sorry. So any screenshot taken or highscore taken within this time no longer exists on the server.
Is it possible to recover them?
Sorta. The computer you used to take these screenshots would have them stored on your computer and you could send them to us and we can work on adding them back so here's how you'd go about this:
1. Go to Start Menu > All Programs > Vizzed Retro Game Room > Open Plugin Data Folder
2. Go to the folder with your user id in it; so if your user id was 1, you'd click the 'User-1' folder
3. From here, you can find the screenshots in these directories:
N64 with 1964: 1964 > Screens
NES & FDS: FCEUX > snaps
GBA & GB & GBC: VBA > Screenshots
32X & Genesis: Gens > Screenshots
SNES: ZSNES > Screenshots
TG & NGP & NGPC & WS & WSC & SGFX: Mednafen > snaps
4. Take all of the screenshots that you took between the date I specified above and place it into a folder, if you're giving me both regular screenshots and highscore screenshots, be sure to organize it so that your regular screenshots are in 1 folder and your highscore screenshots are in another
5. You'll want to rename all your screenshots to match the exact name of the game in the within the retro game room followed by an underscore and an incremented number. So for example, if you have 3 screenshots of Super Mario World, your 3 screenshots would be: 'Super Mario World_1', 'Super Mario World_2', 'Super Mario World_3'. Also, in the screenshot names, you'll want to remove all special characters; example: a screenshot of "Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask" would be: "Legend of Zelda The Majoras Mask_1".
6. Zip up that folder and send it to me at davideo7@hotmail.com or you can upload it somewhere and than PM me a link to it or you can reply to this thread with a link to the zipped up screenshots
7. Once I receive your screenshots, I'll try to get them added within 24 hours. Once I do, I'll let you know and you'll re-add them to the page using the screenshot submission page just like you normally would with screenshots you just took with the RGR Plugin.
Why did this happen?
Well I contacted
To make things worst, I have their managed backup plan which means they're suppose to do backups of my server every single day but turns out they hadn't done a backup in about 10 days! So basically I'm paying for an extra service that they're not even doing and they didn't even bother telling me that they weren't making any backups so I put all my trust in them and they fail me big time.
What does this mean for vizzed?
Well, I'm leaving Godaddy once and for all. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them for the past few years that I've used them (ok maybe I've had 2 good experiences but probably 100+ bad ones). I'm working on purchasing some dedicated servers with hostgator, unfortunately it's going to cost twice as much as godaddy which means I'll be paying nearly $2000 a month on server fees compared to the $1000 I'm paying right now (that was one of the reasons I stayed with godaddy, they're by far the cheapest on the internet and I couldn't afford anyone else).
This means there will be downtime probably on Monday and/or Tuesday, that's probably when I'll do the server migration to hostgator. It's possible it might happen sooner but I'd hate to do a transfer during the weekend when the site gets the most traffic.
Stay far away from Godaddy, their tech support is just lazy and don't care and cast all the blame on you to cover up their laziness and lack of knowledge.

Vizzed RGR Plugin version 1.63 is available!
Download RGR Plugin v1.63 Now
Instructions
-You should uninstall the previous plugin before installing this one, to do so, go to the Start Menu, All Programs, Vizzed Retro Game Room, and Uninstall.
-Be sure to close your internet browser before installing this new Plugin.
-If the plugin tells you you're missing VC++ Runtime, you'll need to install that first. You can download it here:
http://www.vizzed.co/vcredist_x86/vcredist_x86.exe
If you have any problems with the new plugins, please report it in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37053
We'll try to help you fix as many problems as we can, if there are a lot of problems we can't walk you through, we'll work on getting another plugin release soon which would fix those problems.
In a few days, I'll create a page where you can download your save files from the server and save them to your computer where your local save files are located. This will solve the problem that some might have of losing their save files.
Notes
Your save files no longer store on the server, when you go to save and load a game, it happens on your computer, all saving is local. This was done for security reasons and also because the saving uploading and download was putting too much strain on the server (notice the site is a lot faster now?). The bad thing is, if you switch computers, you wont be able to load your save files from computer to computer unless you manually transfer your save files. The good thing is, besides the security and site improvement, your save files are less likely to get corrupted or lost.
The location of your save files and cached files on your machine are in a new location, you can find those here:
Start Menu > All Programs > Vizzed Retro Game Room > Open Data Plugin Folder
New game Systems
Atari Lynx
Neo Geo Pocket
Neo Geo Pocket Color
Wonderswan
Wonderswan Color
SuperGrafx
Newly supported Systems
These game systems were already playable on the site using Java emulators, they're not also playable with the plugin:
Sega Game Gear
Sega Master System
Turbo Grafx
N64 has a 2nd emulator
Nintendo 64 now can be played in 2 different emulators from within the plugin. The emulator that they were played in before was 1964 but now they can be played in 1964 and Mupen64Plus. Some N64 games that didn't work or didn't play good in the RGR Plugin before may work better in the Mupen64Plus emulator, in fact most games probably play better in that emulator compared to the 1964 emulator.
Any save files you created in the N64 games before this plugin update only load in the 1964 emulator. Also, Mupen64Plus supports save states and for some people, 1964 support save states as well now. Sometime within the next few weeks, we plan to increase the compatibility with the games that load into Mupen64Plus even better which means after we do that, 99% of the N64 games will work and most of them perfectly (the best part is, this update in a few weeks wont require another plugin update).
A note regarding Mupen64Plus, it doesn't let you adjust your keyboard or controller controls, you have to use the default. The default keyboard controls are currently unknown so you'll have to play around until we make an update for that (which should take place in a few days).
What else is new?
A lot of the problems that existed in the previous plugins should no longer exist. This new plugin should have a lot less problems and run better. Also since your save files are now based on your user id, someone else can use their user account on the same machine as you and their save files wont overwrite yours (that was a problem in the previous plugins). This means that the risk of losing your save files decreases.
A few updates to the Retro Game Room
I also did a few updates to the Retro Game Room itself. The header area with the systems has been redesigned to fit in the new systems (and famicom disks system has also been added, that was never in the header even though it was an available system in the last plugin). The Retro Game Room also has a 'new' icon next to games and systems that have been added in the past 30 days. There were other various updates to the RGR and plenty more to come in the upcoming weeks.
Want to become an RGR Staff member?
Go through and take screenshots of as many of the new games as you can, if you take enough good ones, we'll hire you to the staff within a day. Our goal is to get screenshots of every game of the newly added systems.
Have any questions or feedback?
Please post them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=37053
Vizzed was down because the OS on the server somehow got corrupt. Here's what Godaddy told me:
"It appears the OS has become corrupt on the server and we were unable to repair it with a File System Check. The old drives are being pulled so we can reprovision the server and restore your content.
The issue is being handled with the highest priority. However, depending on the amount of content that needs to be restored, it may be 24 hours before all sites will be back up and functional"
Anyways, the site is up now and should be running fine. As far as I know, no files were lost.

Thanks to tRIUNE for gathering all of these for me and helping me add them. If there are any games that the RGR is missing for any of its systems that you'd like to see added, send him a PM and he'll work on getting it added.
Also, if you're interested in becoming a staff member, help us take screenshots of these games. None of these games have screenshots so anyone who takes enough useful screenshots will become an RGR Staff member and their screenshots will become the primary screenshots for the game they take screenshots of.
If you have any questions about this update, please post them here:

The chat room has been down for a few days since I migrated it to a new server, it's back up now.
You guys can now load and save your progress in the java emulators again. Sorry for the delay.
Saving in the Java emulated games currently doesn't work. It should be fixed within 1 or 2 days. To make up for it, all Java emulated games currently cost no Viz to play. So go ahead and take advantage of this opportunity and play as many games as you want using the Java emulators.
RGR plugin game saving does still work and is not affected at all by this.
Saving in the java emulated games will be down for about 12 hours. This means that if you start playing your game now and save, when you go to play the game again in 12 hours, the save file will revert back to how it was at the time of this announcement.
RGR plugin games will not be affected by this, you will be able to save with no problem with RGR plugin games during this time.
Vizzed RGR Plugin v1.5 is available!
Download it Now!
NOTE: Be sure to close your internet browser before installing the plugin!
Once downloaded, all you have to do is install it, it'll automatically uninstall the previous version. If the plugin has problems, uninstall it and reinstall it.
This is the most important RGR Plugin update so far. It's got so many more features, tons of bug fixes, far more stable, and so much more.
New Features and bug fixes:
-Famicom Disk System added (games can be found here)
-No more 1MB Circuit Board Error
-Many previous GBA games that didn't work before now work (including the DBZ games)
-Mouse input works in SNES
-Less issues with keyboard input not working
-Less problems with losing save files
-Overall runs smoother with less crashing
And so much more! (over 100 hours have gone into this update)
Thanks to tom760 for making this all possible.
Getting updates for the Plugin costs money and takes many man hours. If you'd like to help us get more updates, refer to this thread: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=35827 - we're currently at a little over $200 worth of donations which will go toward any of the features in that thread.
Maintenance Complete
The server transfer is also complete. All of the files have finished transferring from the old server. You should now be able to save/load your game progress, take screenshots, compete for highscores, etc.
Want to become an RGR Staff member?
Go through and take screenshots of as many Famicom Disk System games as you can, if you take enough, we'll hire you to the staff within a day. Our goal is to get screenshots of every FDS game.
Famicom Disk System games can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?system=fds
Their link was removed from the menu for the time being due to it causing problems, it'll be added back later but for now you can find the games at that url.

There's been a delay in the server transfer, it's taking longer than expected. Should be done sometime Friday night (central time). There's literally over 2 million files to transfer and Godaddy would've charged $500 to do it for me and although it would've been quicker for them to do it, I'm doing it myself since I don't have that kind of money.
Here are the things that wont be finished transferring until Friday:
-Game Saving/Loading (on the server, you might still be able to play using your local save files)
-User screenshot submissions
-User highscore submissions
-Various old files and graphics
The server transfer is still not finished, it should be finished by 3 AM Central Time (2/9/2012).
As stated in the previous announcement, the following things will be down until the transfer is fully finished:
-Game Saving/Loading
-User screenshot submissions
-User highscore submissions
-Various old files and graphics
I'll let everyone know when everything is finished. Also, the new RGR Plugin has been delayed as well but should be ready by Friday.
The server migration was pretty smooth, the site is quite a bit faster but we'll have to see how it holds up when the site's traffic peaks at 900 people.
Game saving is currently down since the save files are still transferring. The ability to take screenshots and high score submissions are also down. These things should be back up in around 14 hours (or around 1 AM 2/8/2012 central time).
The RGR Plugin update I promised will be released soon, probably in 24 hours or so.
The rest of the site should work fine but if you're having problems with anything, please let me know here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=36164
The site will be undergoing maintenance starting at 1 AM Central Time on February 7th (about 16 hours from this announcement). The maintenance may last between 12 and 24 hours.
The site will probably be down for most of this time and you'll most likely be redirected to our facebook app where you'll be able to continue playing the java based RGR games (however, saving will be disabled). The facebook app can be found here:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Retro-Games-Online/323660884325311
After all of the maintenance is finished, we will be launching a HUGE RGR Plugin update which will have a ton of features, ton of bug fixes, better game compatibility and a new game system. Trust me, the down time will be worth the wait
If you have any questions, please ask here:

tom760 is back at work with doing updates to the RGR Plugin. We're expecting an RGR Plugin update very soon with a few nice features, tons of bug fixes, better game compatibility (especially gba rpgs) and more. But we're hoping to get some money to do even more updates, donating to the site will make these updates possible and quicker to have made. It takes a lot of time and money to get updates added to the RGR Plugin so please read the following features and consider helping make these dreams a reality.
We need donations for any of the following features to be possible, if we don't get donations, than none of this will happen. I can only afford to pay so much of it on my own.
Netplay
Imagine being able to play against someone in Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, Tecmo Super Bowl or Goldeneye or with someone in Contra, Mystical Ninja, Perfect Dark or Donkey Kong Country. Imagine being able to actually battle others in the Pokemon games or to trade Pokemon with anyone on the site. The possibilities are endless with 1000s of games in the RGR having multiplayer, with this update, every single one of them could be played with someone on the site over the internet.
How many opportunities do you get to play a retro game with someone else? How many opportunities do you get to participate in a retro gaming tournament (that's right, we'd have weekly and monthly tournaments)? Help us make everyone's dream come true and donate to this great cause.
Projected Cost: US $1000
Disc Based Game Systems
Currently we're limited to cartridge based game systems, a whole new world would open up with the ability to play disc based games which could include:
-Sega Saturn
-Playstation
-Dreamcast
-Sega CD
-and more
Projected Cost: US $250 per a system
More Game Systems
Want to have access to an even greater library of Retro Games? This update would add the following systems to the RGR Plugin:
-MS DOS
-MAME / Arcade
-Atari Lynx
-Turbo Grafx
-Neo Geo Pocket
-Neo Geo Pocket Color
-Wonderswan
-Wondersawn Color
-and more
Projected Cost: US $250
More Features
We've got just tons of ideas for new features including:
-Video Recording (record your gameplay and have the video exported so you can upload it to sites like youtube)
-Full Screen mode
-Many others
Projected Cost: US $250+
How do you donate?
You can donate using Paypal from this page:

The site will be undergoing some maintenance for about an hour. The site will be up and down during this time and you may see strange errors.
The forum maintenance which involved moving the DB to a new server was unsuccessful. I will try again sometime within the next 24 hours and will let everyone know before I try it again.
The forum maintenance is taking slightly longer than expected but the forum should be back up in around an hour. For those wondering, I got a new server for the database, one that is 2-3 times more powerful. The site should be faster once the maintenance is finished. Thanks for your patience.
The forum will be down from 11:15 pm - 12:15 am central time. The Tour de Vizzed for today will still count so you all have 20 minutes to get your final posts in for the day.
If SOPA gets passed, it will shut down Vizzed.com so help us keep the site up by helping us fight against the Bill. The Senate will begin voting on January 24th, that's only 1 week away!
Things you can do: Contact your state congressmen, search google for more info, go to sopa for dummies for more info, go to sopastrike.com to strike against it, or go to blackoutsopa.org to spread awareness.

The Server Transfer involving the RGR Plugin games is complete which means they should work again.
The RGR Plugin games will be down for a few hours. You can still continue to play RGR Plugin games that you've already played but new games will be down for a few hours. They shouldn't be down for more than 4 hours but if they are, I'll make another announcement letting everyone know. All the Java games are not affected which means they will work during this time.
If you have any questions, please let me know in this thread:

Tour de Vizzed is a NEW posting competition (similar to the VCS) exclusive to vizzed which is held once every 3 months. The winner of each Jersey each day gets to wear that Jersey the following day. The overall winner of each Jersey at the end of the month gets to wear that Jersey the entire following month.
Each day there will be 4 Jerseys you can compete for:
Yellow Jersey: Most words in a day
Blue Jersey: Most posts in a day
Red Jersey: Biggest post in a day
Green Jersey: Most posts in an hour
You can find the Tour de Vizzed results page here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/tourdevizzed.php
If you get 1st place in a Jersey for a day, you get to "wear" that Jersey the following day. To "wear" it means that the background of your username will have a unique background graphic. Only the top 5 places of each Jersey gets points, 1st gets 5 and 5th gets 1. Whoever has the most points for any Jersey at the end of the competition gets to wear that Jersey for the entire next month. If you have more than 1 jersey, your jersey receives stripes for each jersey color you own.
Along with Jerseys are Badges that change your username color. They basically represent who has the most points total:
Rainbow Badge: Whoever has the most points so far in the competition
White Badge: New member who has the most points so far in the competition (anyone who has signed up in the past 3 months).

Almost all of you were understanding and patient with this situation and I thank you all for that!

The Staff and I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas (and Happy Holidays) - each of their messages can be seen below. But I just wanted to go over a few quick things.
Davideo7's Thank You
I'd like to give thanks to all the users who have been loyal to vizzed and have helped out in many ways. Ultimately though, I'd like to give a huge thanks to the staff, they don't get enough recognition for what they do, this site wouldn't be anything without them. This is a massive site with 30,000+ people a day and it takes a lot of man (and woman) hours to keep this place organized and in control, it gets overwhelming but I couldn't ask for a better staff, especially for putting up with what they put up with every day. The staff do what they do for free, they all come together and donate their time to help me make this place the best gaming site/community on the internet and every day we're getting closer to that ultimate goal (and maybe we're already there).
RGR Christmas Competition
There's 2 Christmas RGR competitions going on right now that end at the end of the month so be sure to participate before the month ends. Here they are:
Screenshot Competition: ACME Animation Factory Christmas
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34163
High Score Competition: Daze Before Christmas
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34162
7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'.
Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
I put together a list of about 20 Christmas games that can be played in the RGR:

As we finish yet another year, I have come to realize how amazing this past one has been for me personally. It's been a long year... and I've had my shares of ups and downs, but I'm still here, and so are you. Instead of focusing on the bad things, I want to focus on the good. We've attained many milestones, made many memories, and have endured an interesting year to say the least.
This site is not nearly as amazing though without it's loyal userbase. It's you guys that make coming here fun. It's you guys that make my job fun, and not just a chore. So with that, I want to say "Cheers" to you, Vizzians. You made this year great, and I know you will make the next one even better.
Like my good friend, and fellow moderator, the_casualty, I too have made a New Year's Resolution. My resolution is to work even harder to make this site better. Whether it's by simply saying hi to more newbies, or by suggesting ideas to make the site cleaner, smoother, and more fun. I also want to do a better job listening to all user complaints, as I've shyed away from my roots, the very ones that got me interested in becoming a staff member. I look forward to accomplishing this along side you, the userbase.
Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, and a happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! May this Christmas to be full of love, peace and joyous moments. Every year this is the day, when we feel more thankful for all the beautiful things around us, and we, the vizzed board staff members, feel thankful to all of our members for supporting vizzed both through good and bad times. Thank you, all of you guys and girls, without you, vizzed wouldn't be the same! Wholeheartedly, I wish you Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
BNuge
Happy Holidays to everyone. I just want to thank every member of Vizzed for their support. This year has been amazing for Vizzed and I'm glad to be a part of it. I hope everyone enjoys whatever holidays they celebrate and have a Happy New Year

Season Greetings and Happy Holidays to all members of Vizzed! Thanks for everything you've done to make this place as appreciative as it is. It's now my second special Christmas spent with you all. I wish you a blessed and safe holiday!

Merry Christmas to everybody on Vizzed. You guys are a huge part of my family, and the family seems to get bigger by the minute.
This site has quite literally quadroupled since I got here. I want to thank you all for being here, it really does make things alive.
The ones of you that I know are the most friendly people I know. (Coming from a Canadian, that's huge)
May your holidays be filled with joy, and may the force be with you.
Peace out.

Ah, it's that time of year again. The time we give thanks, exchange gifts, and appreciate the family that we have around us. That said, I would like to especially thank my family here on Vizzed.
While I haven't been around as long as most others, I feel like the site has impacted me nevertheless. In the short 6 1/2 months that I've been on Vizzed, I've made friends, had disputes, and worked faithfully on making this place better for everyone. And through all of the experiences, I've had the greatest time ever.
The success of this site would not be possible without every single user here, from David the owner to the least posting members. Merry Christmas to everyone, and a wonderful new year!
UserMike
As the Holiday Season is upon us, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and on those who have helped to make Vizzed Board what is today. A special thank you to our wonderful site owner and Administrator : Davideo7, who continuously keeps this wonderful site running and available for all of us to enjoy.
As staff we value Vizzed's members and look forward to seeing you all in the year to come. Wishing you a very happy Holiday Season and a New Year filled with peace and prosperity. Enjoy the time spent with friends and family, show those you care about your appreciation
tj4bigred
Thanks for another great year Vizzed! We saw a lot of change this year, and the site just keeps getting better and better. Happy holidays!

Not sure who will see this in the sea of staff messages, but I'd like to wish everyone a happy holidays, whatever it may be you celebrate. And whatever it is, celebrate it for it's true meaning. I'll also thank those of you who give best wishes to troops like me and those who are overseas in the desert that can't spend time with their family for Christmas or other holidays. Know that we're over there to ensure the rest of you safely can be with your family here in the U.S. You can help us out by making sure you're enjoying yourselves so our efforts don't go to waste. Also, it never hurts to send a letter or a random care package to a soldier as a present. We always like those. Keep up the activity on Vizzed. The more people like you show up the better this place gets. Keep participating in games and contests. And bring some holiday spirit to Vizzed this month. Thanks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to Vizzed, all 154,395 of you! May your life be filled with joy in this most joyful time! It's so great to see all the people buzzing around this site during Christmas time, generally being happy, and playing all their favorite games.
Happy Holidays!

First, I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays. I hope everyone has a great time. As for Vizzed, it is almost the end to an interesting year. This is my first year being a member on Vizzed, and you all have made it so fun for me. I came here for the games, but the community has drawn me in. In my first year, a lot has happened here. I joined right before the major attacks here, and thought the site would be gone before I could become a part of it. I would like to thank everyone who stuck around. You guys rock. I also want to thank David for giving me a position as a reviewer, and the Globals for asking me to be a Local. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I find myself coming here the first chance I get everyday just to talk to everyone here. This is the best online community I have ever seen, and the only one I have bothered to be a part of. I wish for another prosperous and active year for Vizzed. For everyone here, continue to have fun!

Seasons greetings to everyone on Vizzed, I wish us all happy times and good health in the New Year. Let us not forget each other at this time of giving when remembering not to is all too easy.
With love and happiness and good cheer.

Thank you for everything Vizzed. I am happy to be on this site to play games and post information to people. This has made a big change and it has gotten better. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

So it would seem we are back at this time of year again, with the Holiday season upon us. For many people this is a fantastic time of year, and I also see it as a vague form of reflection seeing that it is near the end of the year for many people. My reflections...includes that I love the community here. About half a year ago or more, I was looking for a forum community that was friendly, and its size active but not too large for it's own good. A community where everyone can get to know each other much like a small town...and I've seen it here. This is by far one of the best forum communities I seen in a long time, if not the best period. I have to thank every single user for making that ideology a reality, and I have to say this would not have been possible without our Administrator(s) like Davideo7 and our moderators like Legacyme3 as well as every single person in this community.
In short, I feel honored to have been a small part of it, and I thank you all. I wish everyone here a Merry Christmas, or a Happy Holidays in general.
DarkPower508
Merry Christmas everyone! Vizzed could not have done so well without you, the members of this site. I can just tell that it's going to be a great Christmas here! I must thank all those who wrote comments on my reviews and those who rated them (you guys are awesome!). I have only been here for about four months, but I have made many friends, all kind and helpful when I started. I also enjoyed trying to beat others scores on certain games. You guys really do put up a fight.
I enjoyed some of your threads that you have made, and I'll try and make an effort to post more in them. It's the least I could do. So with that, once again Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
totaldramaman2
Merry Christmas to everyone! Also, for those who clebrate it, have a nice Hanukkah. I don't think anyone reading this celebrates Kwanzaa.. never mind. In the past year, I really went from being one of those people who spent all day in the RGR to being one of those people that really gets into the Vizzed community. I hope you have a nice holiday season, and continue to come back to Vizzed! =)
epicpokenerd!
Merry Christmas and happy New Year good folks of Vizzed! Thanks for coming here and contributing like you do, it really helps alot! You guys are amazing, and I really appreciate all the hard effort you guys are putting in for Vizzed, and I hope you keep up the good work! Happy Holidays!

"'It's the most wonderful time of the year!' Yes, it is that time of year, and I want to wish everyone from owners to members to guests a Holly Jolly Christmas, a Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa... Happy Holidays. I like to thank the owners for making a wonderful site for people to play, chat, and post messages. I like to thank the members for adding on more things and ideas to help Vizzed keep moving forward. Lastly, I like to thank the guests for experiencing Vizzed and hope to join to be a member. Overall, I bless everyone a Happy Holiday."

The chat room and all the java emulator games are back up (actually they were back up yesterday).
So what update took place?
Well you can now use the vizzed facebook app on https (many reported that they couldn't use the app). You can find the app here:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=166142096817795&sk=wall
I'm doing some late night (early morning) updates which means the Chat Room and any Java Emulator Game is currently down (RGR Plugin games still work). These should be back up and working within 12-24 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions, please ask here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34618
The Chat Room has received some updates and is now hosted by vizzed. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34475
Want More Chat Room Addons?
If you donate, you can pick which addon you'd like me to buy and add, each addon is $50. More information can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34509
After spending $500 on a full chat room license, I don't have any money for any addons so the only way we can get any addons is if we get some donations.
Vizzed is undergoing maintenance today and may go down once in a while and may be completely unavailable for some people all day.
For those who see this announcement, remember that you can continue playing RGR games with our facebook app here:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=166142096817795&sk=wall

As of Today, 12-06-11, Vizzed Board is 7 years old!
This has been both the worst year and best year of vizzed. Vizzed survived some serious DDoS attacks, had some hackers trying to inject viruses into the site, had some serious server issues multiple times, but in the end, Vizzed is more active than it has ever been so the goods outweigh the bads. Vizzed hit some huge milestones such as 250 million views, 500,000 posts, most posts within a single day (2351), most posts within a single hour (268), and many more. For all the members who stayed loyal to vizzed throughout this entire year, I thank you, I couldn't have a greater community to be in charge of.
You can find the awards and additional anniversary information here:

Vizzed has a Facebook App that allows you to play RGR games right on facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=166142096817795&sk=wall
Be sure to 'Like' the App and also Share it with your friends!
This will be great for when vizzed goes down, you'll still be able to play retro games! You wont be able to load or save your progress with the games in the app (I've got a separate app coming out eventually for that) and you can't play any of the RGR Plugin games with it but most of the java games are available within the app.
So what's the point? Well like I said, if vizzed goes down, you can still play some retro games. Also, for some people it's hard to get their friends to join vizzed but it's easier to get them to use an app on facebook so this is a great opportunity to introduce them to vizzed!
And before any complains about the look, I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and to keep the strain down as much as I could. Basically the app is on its own server which isn't nearly as powerful as the vizzed servers so therefore I wanted the app to use very little strain. It doesn't use a database and the game navigator is basically all client side.
If you have any questions or suggestions about the app, suggest it in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=34177
The ability so save and load your game progress works again. The ability to upload stuff and take screenshots should work again as well. And the Chat Bar should work again. The problem was that the log files on the server built up and used up all the servers disk space, this problem has been fixed.
The ability to save is currently down. Not sure why this happened but it's most definitely because Godaddy was messing around with my server and messed something up. Now they're trying to fix it and should have it fixed within 24 hours. Even though it's not my fault at all, I'll apologize for Godaddy and for the inconvenience.
A new version of the Plugin has just been released and it is required to continue playing RGR games. Here's what's new:
Bug Fixes:
-GB and GBC games are now more playable and no longer lag
-There were a few GBA games that had lag, these have been fixed
-If a game fails to download, it'll redownload when you play it again instead of being corrupted
-Some N64 games may play better
New Feature:
HighScore mode has been added to the RGR Plugin games. This means that you can compete for high scores in any of the RGR Plugin games. To do so, scroll down the page where it shows the user high scores and click 'Compete for Highscore'. On top of this, it'll also record how many seconds it took you to acheive that score so in case 2 people have the same score, the person who got that score in the least amount of time will win the tie breaker.
Previous Updates (in case you missed them from the update from earlier this month):
-Saving and Loading works for new users now
-Save files are automatically backed up, so in case your save file gets corrupted or lost, you can recover it from the Save File Manager
You can get the new plugin here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=8676
When you go to install it, it'll automatically try and uninstall the previous version.
Thanks to everyone who donated to help us get this update. Keep up the donations so that we can get more updates!
If you have any questions or feedback regarding this update, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33911
Vizzed is looking to get physical copies of all the games in the Retro Game Room.
You can donate any game. If we already have it or if it's for a system that we don't have, we'll simply sell the game our self and use the money we earn to put toward RGR Plugin updates. You can also donate game systems as well, but no accessories (unless it's a valuable accessory).
You can also earn Viz. I'll send you 500 Viz for each US $1 the game is worth. If you want to know how much Viz I'd send you for donating your games, respond to the below thread and tell me which games you'd want to donate. If you want to simply donate money, that'd help out a lot too and you earn 1000 Viz for each $1 you donate.
When you're ready to donate your games, PM me and I'll give you my shipping address that you can send the games to.
If you have any questions or want to donate your games, please respond to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33843
Vizzed has been in the process of getting the RGR Plugin updated so that it has better game compatibility, less bugs, more features and more systems. While we did just get an update, it resulted into some bugs and didn't have any new features. We still need more money to get all the updates done that we need and since I have to pay someone to make these updates, it costs money.
All donations will go toward tom760, the developer of the Plugin.
tom760: Hopefully you get enough donations to continue working on the RGR Plugin.
Like always, you'll get Viz for donating, you get 10,000 Viz for each US $10 that you donate.
To donate, or to find more information about donating, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/donations.php
To see a list of some of the things we'd like to get added to the RGR Plugin, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=28004
And if you have any questions or feedback regarding any of this, please reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33650
All RGR Plugin Save Files should be working now.
If you have any questions or if you are still missing a save file, please report it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33576
The RGR Plugin games are back up but you'll notice that there's a new version of the Plugin. The main update to this Plugin is that anyone should be able to save and load their progress now, even new users. With the old Plugin, we reached the max number of users who could save their progress. Bug testers of the new RGR Plugin also reported that it ran a little faster. The new Plugin can be found here: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=8676
Most of the Save files are up but for some users they are not. If you notice that your save files are missing, don't worry, they probably haven't been updated yet. All save files should be working within 16 hours.
A big thanks to tom760 for making it his priority to getting the RGR Plugin updated so that save files would work for new users, so be sure to give him full credit and thank him, not me.
tom760: Thanks for your hard work, we all look forward to your future updates to the RGR Plugin!
If anyone has any issues with the new Plugin, be sure to report it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33576
Please give me 2 more hours and the RGR Plugin games will be up again. Sorry for the delay.
Vizzed RGR Plugin Games will be back up at 10:00 central time. This maintenance is necessary in order to release the New RGR Plugin and to allow people who currently can't save to save.
You can still continue to play the Java emulated games.
The Vizzed RGR Plugin Games Will be taken down in 15 minutes. This maintenance is necessary for the release of a newer Plugin which will Allow people who currently can't save/load their progress to be able to do so now.
This is a response from the previous announcement. I had Google rescan the site and they found no viruses. This means that vizzed is no longer flagged.
It appears that Vizzed may have been flagged by AVG, Google and/or Firefox as having malware and/or viruses but that is not true. I'm not sure why this happened but I'm thinking a competitor site has falsely reported vizzed as having harmful files.
If anyone else is noticing these problems or has more information, please report it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33474
Vizzed 7 Year Anniversary is coming up on December 6th but the annual Vizzed Awards Voting has begun. Vote for others and see if you got voted for so far here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33404
Also, the Java Super Nintendo emulator is back up which means those who can't install the RG Plugin for whatever reason can play SNES games on the site using Java. It's been a few months since the Java SNES emulator was up so enjoy. NOTE: A lot of SNES games don't work in the SNES Java emulator.
If you have any questions regarding this update, please ask here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33412
All of the games that use Java Emulators are back up. The save files should also be back up and working for the Java emulated games.
The play Window for the games are a little different and have more information on them. Also, JavaBoy play screen is bigger and VizzedAEPgb play screen can be enlarged (see instructions on the play window to the right). I hope the info to the right side of the java game play windows aren't very intrusive.
The Java Emulator and games are now located on a different server. This means that even if Vizzed goes down, you'll still be able to continue playing your game and may also be able to save and load. It also means that if vizzed transfers to a new server, those games wont go down since they wont need to be transferred. The ability to take screenshots with the NESCafe and VizzedAEPgb has been removed and timetrial mode with NESCafe will be stripped soon (and replaced with the ability to do timetrials in the RGR Plugin).
I know I said that you'd be able to continue playing your game even if vizzed goes down but it doesn't do you any good if you can't access vizzed while it's down to find other games to play. I've got a solution to that: Facebook App. That's right, I'm announcing it right now for the first time, sometime in the future, I'll be putting together an App on Facebook that will allow you to navigate the Java based games from the RGR right on facebook AND you'll be able to load/save your save files on there as well.
If you have any problems or questions, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33342
Some of the Java Emulators are back up, which includes: Nintendo, Game Boy Color, Game Boy, Game Gear and Sega Master System. The saving on those games should work as well.
I'll have a more thorough update in about 16 hours and the rest of the java games should be up by that time as well.
There will be no highscore competition this month, instead there will be just 1 mega screenshot competition worth 2.5 more Viz:
Screenshot Competition: Screenshot Hunter
Take screenshots of games missing screenshots in the RGR

Might be another 1-2 days before Java emulators are back up. Sorry about this.
When transferring to the new Linux server, I was surprised to find out that a directory can only contain 31,998 directories, which means there were some save files that couldn't be transferred. New users (anyone with an ID above 145372) and users with IDs between 87815 and 99999 wont be able to able to load or save their progress for the time being. I'm hoping to figure out a solution to this problem within a week. I'm very sorry for those who fall into this category. Once I've figured out a solution, your save files will be transferred, they will not be lost.
Everyone else should be able to load and save without problems.
If you have any questions or feedback, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33155
RGR Plugin Games back up but saving may not work
The games that require the RGR Plugin are back up. The reason it took longer for them to come back up is because changing the file permissions of files on a linux server takes longer than what it does on a windows server, I didn't know that so my estimates were off. For some people (about half of everyone at the moment), the save files probably wont work right away because it's still updating the file permissions for a lot of users, it should be done updating this within 12-24 hours. Everyone can still play any game with the RGR Plugin but only half of you will be able to load and save your game progress. Screenshot taking with the RGR Plugin will work.
Java emulator games will be down until probably Monday
The games that require a Java emulator will be down until Monday night probably (central time zone). The reason for this is because a lot of them don't seem to work on the new linux server, this is also something I wasn't expecting so therefore I couldn't prepare for. I've come up with a solution though but it'll take a few days to do. No save files will be lost.
I'm sorry for all this inconvenience, it's not something I could have prepared for or expected. A lot of my time has been invested into this and a lot of money has gone down the drain ($500+ since both the previous servers were purchased but didn't work out, not to mention the 3 month purchase of the new server costing $1000+).
If you have any questions, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33115
It's been about 24 hours since my last announcement and I'm still not done transferring the save files, so please give me another 4-8 hours.
Thanks.
We're on the new server and all the files except the Game Room have been transferred. There might be a few features that are currently unavailable but those will be fixed within 12-36 hours. The Game Room and all the save files should be up within 24 hours.
The site might be a little slow for the next few hours but I've done some tests and once everything is complete, I know for sure that the site will be way faster.
Again, thanks for everyone's patience.
It turns out that the new server just isn't working out so we have to migrate to another server yet again. I've decided to switch from a Windows server to a Linux server and I'll also be getting some assistance from godaddy with setting up the new server so there's no reason why the migration should go wrong this time.
The game room games will not be playable during this time but they should be playable again within 24 hours. The other parts of the site will probably be available for most of the 24 hour migration but there may be some down time.
If you have any questions, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33035
The transferring of the files finished about 2 days ago, so everyone should be able to save and load their save files. Site maintenance isn't over yet though.
The new server is having the same issues as the previous, I'm not sure what's causing it but I'll be spending the next few days trying to figure it out. In the mean time, the site will still be slow. The site will be fast again, we all just need patience.
If there is anything that didn't get transferred properly such as a screenshot or a save file, let me know here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33018
The transferring of the Retro Game Room save files is taking longer than expected, there's about 750,000+ save files at around 40 GB total. The loading and saving in the RGR should be ready within 8 hours. The rest of the site will work but there might be some down time during the next 8 hours.
Sorry for this inconvenience and I thank you all for your patience. Trust me, this will all be worth it by the time it's finished.
The Server Maintenance / Transfer is almost finished, it should be finished within 12 hours. Until that time, the Retro Game Room games will be down but almost everything else on the site should work.
Server Maintenance in 30 Minutes so be sure to save your progress and quit your games. You'll still be able to use most portions of the website but the games will go down in 30 minutes. The site shouldn't go down but we'll see. The games should be playable again within 24 hours.
The Server Maintenance mentioned in the previous announcement will be delayed by up to 16 hours. I'll make another announcement 1-2 hours before the maintenance begins.
Server Maintenance Scheduled for tomorrow at this time. It'll start between 7 and 8 PM central time on Tuesday and end sometime on Wednesday.
I'll be transferring the site over to a new and even better server. The current server has had some sudden issues with it causing it to run slower than usual. The new server should be twice as fast as the site previously was and easily 10 times faster than what it is now.
I'll make another announcement before the maintenance begins. The RGR games will probably be down during the maintenance but the rest of the site should be functional.
After the recent maintenance, most of you will have to sign into the RGR to play your games. If you play a game while logged out, you wont be loading your save file but instead will be loading a public save file. To load the proper save file, be sure to log into the RGR, even if it shows you already logged in on the forum pages, you still need to login again to be logged into the RGR.
If you have any questions, please ask in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=32858
The site maintenance is complete. To see what the maintenance is about, refer to the previous announcement.
If you're still having problems that were caused from the Maintenance, please report it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=32682
There's still things that need to be fixed and those things will be fixed soon but most of the site should work fine.
Here's briefly 5 of the biggest reasons for the updates:
1. Better Search Engine Rankings (means more traffic)
2. Cleaner page urls
3. Possibly fixed cookie issues with google chrome
4. Vizzed.com index is no longer a redirect
5. Opens the door for 2 features which will be available soon (and also future features)
If you're having problems since the update or want to see full details of the maintenance, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=32550
I'll be doing more site maintenance which will last between 2 - 4 hours.
During this time, some features may not work.
You may get logged off but you can simply log right back in.
The site will be undergoing maintenance for the next 1 or 2 hours. It may or may not affect some of you.

This is a book I recommend to everyone written by Richard Marsden. The game will be out within a few months (that I've been working on) but the book is out now:
http://www.travelingtyrant.com/
A great book and perfect for kids who need a book for a school book report. It's basically a dark humor sci-fi book. The paperback is $12.99 on amazon but you can get the Kindle copy for only $2.99
http://www.amazon.com/The-Traveling-Tyrant-ebook/dp/B0052A47KM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1307046730&sr=8-2
I'll also throw in 5000 Viz to each person that buys a copy of the book.
"Mordid is the Traveling Tyrant, bent on conquering and pillaging the galaxy-for a price. When Galactic Hotels asks him to remove some pesky, religious zealots from the jungle-world of Pristine it seems to be an easy task. Unfortunately for Mordid, the preacher has a daughter, the Command Staff is out to murder him and each other, and the employer wants the planet intact. Will Mordid claim the planet, outsmart his Command Staff and get the girl, or is Paradisa Lost?"

~sakura~ Day ends with 2350 Posts! We set out to get at least 1000 and our goal was 2000 and we definitely exceeded both of those and hit a ton of board records today, ~sakura~ would be proud of us!
Great job everyone, it was a great cause and the day went very well
Discussion thread can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=30503
~sakura~ Day is today which means, it's time to start posting as much as we can! The minimum goal is 1000 posts but it'd be great if we could break 2000.
If you don't know what this is, refer to the previous announcement or refer to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=30294
EDIT: I've enabled profile comments for the time being so everyone can pass on their comments to her via her profile.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding ~sakura~ Day, post them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=30417
We're going to honor ~sakura~ again this year on August 10th by posting as much as we possibly can in single 1 day. For those who don't know, she was a member who was diagnosed with leukemia about a year ago and had a very bad chance of survival, she made her going away thread here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=14496
We haven't heard from her since so we don't know what whether she survived or not, we can only hope that she did but to honor and remember her, we're going to make this an annual thing. August 10th our goal is to reach at least 1,000 posts but last year we got around 1600 and our current board record for most posts within a 24 hour period is 1915 so I'd really like to beat both of those records so I would really like to aim for 2000 posts in a single day. I'll make another announcement once the post spree day officially begins and ends.
To find out why we picked 1000 post as a target, why we chose to honor her this way and why we chose August 10th, refer to this thread:

I'm currently selling a bunch of Playstation 3 games (and various other gaming items) in my Amazon store so check it out here:
http://www.amazon.com/shops/vizzed
I'll also give you 1000 Viz for each $5 you spend in my store (but be sure to PM me letting me know which items you bought). The money earned in the store will help go toward future features on vizzed (such as updates to the RGR Plugin).
If you don't have a PS3 or you're not interested in any of the items in the store but still want to help out, feel free to donate to the site
If you want to donate any video games to vizzed, I'll give you 500 Viz for each US $1 that your game is worth, please PM me which games you'd like to donate to the site and I'll give you my address for you to send the games to. Vizzed is looking to get physical copies of all the games in the RGR but if you donate a game that isn't in the RGR, than I'll place it in my amazon store and money earned from it will go toward future site features.

The site maintenance and server migration are completely finished (finally). Everything on the site should be back to normal and the site should be a lot faster than it use to be and there should be very little down time now.
If you've lost a save file over the past week, PM me and I'll compensate you with 5000+ Viz.
If you're having any other issues that have come up over the past week because of the server issues and migration, please report them in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=29554
You should all be able to load and save your game progress on the games again. Also, the screenshot taking abilities should work again as well.
The site still has a few more issues that need to be worked out but once those are taken care of, I'll make an official announcement letting everyone know that vizzed is back to normal.
The server transfer is complete. Still need to transfer RGR Plugin save files and screenshots though, so that might take around 12 hours. This means that any save files you make during this time may get overwritten.
The site should be a bit faster now
Site will begin migrating to the new server, and it will take anywhere between 12 and 24 hours. Any save files and uploads made during this time will probably be lost so if you're currently playing a game on the site, I suggest you save your progress now and find a game to play that doesn't require saving.
I'll make another announcement when everything is done.
The site will be transferring to a new server (and it'll probably be faster). The current has some issues with it and some other problems I can't speak of publicly, so we'll be transferring over to a new server sometime within the next 48 hours. I'll make another announcement when the transfer begins (the RGR will probably be down during the 12 hour transfer). The site may be up and down during this 48 hours period.
I apologize for the inconvenience but things came up that took me by surprise, I hate having to do transfers during the weekend and it definitely wasn't my decision so I hope everyone understands.
Thanks.
The New Chat Room that launched a few days ago is now mobile phone compatible. Before you had to have a flash enabled browser, now you can get in with a browser that doesn't support flash.
You can find the Chat Room links at the top of the page.
As said before, the chat room is lag free, tons of better features, and it stays up even if vizzed goes down.
Vizzed has upgraded chat rooms again. The new chat room is located on a different server which means that if Vizzed is down, the chat room wont be. Use your Vizzed board login details to get into the chat room.
Currently you need a Flash compatible browser to get into the chat room but that'll change on Monday.
Here's the chat room:
http://davideo7chat.chat.123flashchat.com/
Something I should point out. The chat room no longer logs your chat minutes (maybe in the future it will though) and it also no longer costs Viz to use the chat room.
The chat room is not only lag free but is just filled with tons of nice features. Here's a few worth mentioning:
-Can be in more than 1 room at a time (and it lets you know when each room gets a new message)
-Can embed youtube videos to chat
-Shows who is typing and when
-Custom Avatars (this feature will be available on monday)
-A special chat room with a media player
-Chat History
-Better mod options for the staff
-Lots of adjustable options for each user
-Tons more, you'll just have to try it out to see
If you have any questions or comments regarding the new chat room, please post them here:

Also, the amount of Viz you get for referring users has been extended until July 1st. For those who are unfamiliar with this, as a way to say sorry for the problems Vizzed has been experiencing for the past 2 months, I made it so you get triple the amount of Viz for referring users. I also made it so that games are 75% their original Viz price. These offers was suppose to end 2 days ago but I'm extending it until July 1st.
The site Maintenance is complete and this means that everyone should be able to save their game progress on the RGR games now. Other features on the site that involve uploading should also work again. We will be having some more maintenance sometime within the next 7 days. Also want to point out that the new wave of attacks haven't stopped and haven't been fully prevented yet so it's possible that the site may go down a few times during the next few days or even weeks (hopefully this will be solved soon though).
If saving your games still doesn't work, be sure to PM RGR Staff:

Lastly, I'd like to give a big public thanks to lorreleibailey for donating $250 to the site and a total of $450 over the past 2 months. The money really helps out, especially when money is needed to invest into security because of the attacks vizzed has been experiencing over the past 2 months (and it also helps to recover from financial damage that the attacks have caused).
I'm extending the site Maintenance by another 24 hours. Refer to previous announcement for more info.
The site has been under serious security maintenance for the past 24 hours and will probably be under maintenance for the next 24 hours. The site may be down at various times and certain features and pages may be unavailable during this time.
I apologize for this inconvenience and sorry that vizzed has been down a lot lately. There's been a new group of attackers on the site and I've been working day and night to fix things that they've been damaging and to also prevent them from doing further damage. I appreciate everyone's support and understanding during all of this and I'm very grateful that I've got such a loyal and understanding community, the support of the vizzed community is what motivates me to dedicate hours upon hours taking care of these issues and because of that, I wont let you all down
The maintenance I was working on for the past few hours is complete. You all should be able to save and load in your games now and also be able to upload stuff. If something stopped working because of this update, be sure to send a Private Message to the RGR Staff:

If you lost your save file over the past few weeks, PM me letting me know which games you lost save files on and I'll compensate you 5000+ Viz for your loss.
Btw, you can try recovering your save files from the save file manager:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/savefiles.php
Every day the save file manager use to backup all your save files, I disabled the auto-backup earlier this month but if you lost a save file that was created before than, you might be able to recover it. NOTE: That page only works with Firefox.
Site back up. We had to implement more security because of some recent attacks. Sorry about that
The site speed should be back to normal as to how it was weeks ago (maybe even faster). Also the site maintenance that took place a few hours ago took a little longer than I expected, I apologize for that but that maintenance is finished.
Still some other things I need to sort out but once I feel everything is functioning the way they were weeks ago, I'll make a separate announcement. Thanks for all your patience
Earlier on Sunday, the Database crashed due to overwhelming strain on the server which resulted into 50+ user accounts being dropped from the database. I was able to recover most of the accounts but for those whose accounts weren't recovered, I'll compensate you 10,000 Viz and also help you recover your old save files.
I'm very sorry for this, as stated in the previous Announcement, the server strain will be an issue of the past within a few days.
The site should be back to normal speed sometime tomorrow but at the very latest, 2 or 3 days. Until than, the site will be very slow and you may need to refresh a few pages a few times. Thanks for your patience.
For security reasons, everything is on 1 server at the moment. We've purchased a more secure 2nd server using the $250 that Geeogree donated to the site (thanks again geo
) and that'll be set up soon and once it is, we'll be expanding vizzed to 2 servers again. I'll make another announcement once the transfer is complete.We implemented security to the website and have more to implement so we ask for your patience and understanding. The website shouldn't have to be taken down for it but we never know for sure especially with the attacks. Some things are trial and error so hopefully by the end of the month (at most) everything will be back to normal. We have been brainstorming a ton of ideas to add to the website but will have to wait on those ideas until we get back on our feet. So don't give up on us!
And thank you for being supportive, encouraging, and understanding during this time as the attacker has been relentless attacking on and off since May 5 so it has been a difficult time. We will keep everyone updated with any news here and on our Facebook wall.Unfortunately the attacks just keep on coming so Vizzed will be down in around 2 hours for about 2 hours for security maintenance. So be sure to prepare for that, maybe find a good game in the RGR that you can load up ahead of time and play for 2 hours (just be sure to save after the site goes back up). Sorry for the inconvenience
It's been a terrible week, $500+ worth of damage, a lot of my time invested (14+ hours a day for the past week) but it's safe to say vizzed is finally done with the attacks and security updates.
I just want to say thanks for everyone's patience and support. Also want to say that I'm terribly sorry for all of this inconvenience, so to make up for it, all games are 75% off Viz and you now get tripled the Viz for referring members to the site until summer (june 21st).
How can you help Vizzed recover from these attacks? There's no doubt that this has hurt vizzed financially, but it also hurt our search engine ranking and traffic. If everyone could pitch in to help out, that'd be great. You can help out by advertising the site by either telling your friends about it or posting links to it on other sites. Remember, you'll get 3 times the Viz for doing it which is: 300 Viz for each person you direct to the site, 1500 Viz if they sign up and 3000 Viz if they make at least 1 post.
If you have any questions or comments, please reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26698
Doing the last of the site maintenance (for a while anyway). For the next 12 or so hours, any save files will probably be lost. So I suggest for the time being, you guys either spend your time on the forums or play games that you don't need to save on.
Any Save Files Made in the next few hours will be lost. The reason is because I'm backing up the current save files so any save file made after this announcement will be lost. This basically means either spend your time on the forums or play games that you don't need to save on (the same thing applies for taking screenshots).
Closing down the RGR for about 15 minutes for maintenance.
There are still some things on the site that still need to be fixed or transferred, everything should be back to normal by Monday. It's basically anything relating to the RGR which may have problems so for those who can't play the games they want, feel free to post on the forum until everything is back to normal.
The site was DoS attacked on Thursday. I've spent many hours trying to get the site back up and implementing more security. No files were lost and no personal information was stolen. However, it might be a little longer before all of everyone is able to access the site. I thank you all for your patience and I apologize for vizzed being down, this will probably do some damage to vizzed search engine rankings and traffic and overall will have costed me $100s so for those who want to help out, tell your friends about the site, advertise the site on other sites or donate.
I ended up migrating to a new server, I figured if the site is going to be down, I might as well make something good out of the situation and migrating to a better server would require down time anyway. So the site is on the new server and the new server is a bit better than the previous, it should be faster and should be able to handle more users. All of the files have already transferred except RGR Plugin save files and screenshots taken with the RGR Plugin, those should be finished transferring sometime on Saturday.
I highly recommend you guys favorite vizzed on facebook, that's where I announce stuff when the site is down and keep everyone informed:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vizzed/120725987944823
If your experiencing any problems that you think have been caused from all of this, please report it to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26538
153 Hacks, Homebrew, Pirated and Translated Games were added to the RGR. Most of the games are for NES and Genesis but some are for the Game Boy Advance. There were a few Pokemon Hacks added and a bunch of Genesis hacks added.
I've had a lot of people requesting for me to add certain games and I figured I might as well set aside a few days to search for some of these rare games and add them.
I haven't tested out the games yet (and some of the games might really suck) and I haven't added content or graphics to most of them either. It'd be great if you guys could go through and review some of the added games, rate them and also take screenshots.

I've been busy for the past few months working on a game for a book written by Richard Marsden. The game will be out within a few months but the book is out now:
http://www.travelingtyrant.com/
A great book and perfect for kids who need a book for a school book report. It's basically a dark humor sci-fi book.
I'll also throw in 5000 Viz to each person that buys a copy of the book.
"Mordid is the Traveling Tyrant, bent on conquering and pillaging the galaxy-for a price. When Galactic Hotels asks him to remove some pesky, religious zealots from the jungle-world of Pristine it seems to be an easy task. Unfortunately for Mordid, the preacher has a daughter, the Command Staff is out to murder him and each other, and the employer wants the planet intact. Will Mordid claim the planet, outsmart his Command Staff and get the girl, or is Paradisa Lost?"
If you have any questions regarding the book, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26222
The maintenance I did yesterday caused some save files for certain games to stop working, mainly Game Boy and Game Boy Color games played in the VizzedAEPgb emulator. This has been fixed and you guys should be able to load your old save files again.
If you've saved a game in the past 24 hours using the VizzedAEPgb emulator than there's a very good chance that your save file may be lost. However, it is possible to recover that save file manually but that's time consuming for me so if you really put a lot of hours into a new save file in the past 24 hours, send me 500 Viz and let me know which game you lost your save file on.
Btw, games should be working again too.
If you have any questions or if you want to confirm your save files are working again, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26133
The maintenance I from before caused some people to temporarily lose their save files, I'm fixing this problem which means the games will be down for a few minutes. I'll make another announcement when I'm done and if the save files work again.
The maintenance I was working on is finished. If you're suddenly encountering a lot of games not working, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=26059
The Vizzed RGR game structure is undergoing maintenance, some game systems may not work for a little while. Maintenance shouldn't take any longer than 3 hours.
I've been working on updating the Retro Game Room pages for quite a while now, I'm finally finished so here's the updates:
Thorough Game Reviews +Viz
You can now write up as big of a review you want and you can earn a lot of Viz depending on the size of the review. You can also rate the game's Graphics, Sound/Music, Addictiveness, Depth, Story and Difficulty (and once enough games have been rated on these categories, I'll make it so you can search for games based on them). You also earn Viz each time your review is rated.
Ability to Rate Reviews and Reviews are sorted by Rating +Viz
You can now rate a user's review on 1-5, 5 being great and 1 being crap. When you rate a user's review, you earn 3 Viz and if you rated the review above a 4, the reviewer also gets Viz (and the reviewer will receive a notification that you rated their review if you rated it a 4 or up, if you gave it a 3 or below, they wont know who did it). The reviews are ordered by rating so the helpful reviews will show up first and the pointless reviews will be hidden.
Ability to Rate Screenshots and Screenshots are sorted by Rating +Viz
Just like the ability to rate Reviews, you can now rate user submitted screenshots. When you rate a user's screenshot, you earn 2 Viz and if you rated the screenshot above a 4, the screenshot taker also gets Viz (and the screenshot taker will receive a notification that you rated their review if you rated it a 4 or up, if you gave it a 3 or below, they wont know who did it). The screenshots are ordered by rating so the awesome screenshots will show up first and the pointless screenshots will be hidden.
Reviews are now linked to threads +Viz
When you go to create a review for a game, you're brought to a page which looks similar to making a thread, that's because you're actually doing both when you submit a review. The 'review thread' will be available on the RGR game's page and also available in the 'Reviews' sub forum in the 'Retro Game Room' forum, this gives the staff the ability to more properly monitor reviews and to trash ones that break the rules. This also means you earn lots of Viz when people reply to your 'review thread' and it also means that your reviews get to have their own title.
The header is now the same as the index header
Which means you have all the options on the RGR game pages as you would on the RGR index pages. You can search for games from game pages better now.
A few layout updates:
-Reviews have their own section now and are easier to sort through
-User comments have their own section now
-All of the scrollable boxes are a little smaller in size so that they can properly fit on a 1024x786 monitor
-The header of the index and game pages is a little more well organized and also a 'select' and 'unselect' all button for when choosing which system to search
It'd be great if you guys could go through and start rating screenshots and reviews you see for various games and also submit a few of your own! (keep in mind that their are daily limits on how many reviews and screenshots you can rate per a day).
Please reply to this thread with any feedback or problems regarding the changes:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=25560
The maintenance is finished, you guys wont notice anything new but you'll see the feature I've been working on in a few days.
If a few screenshots of yours are missing, you'll have to re-submit them by submitting them like you normally would (most likely using the screenshot manager page).
If there are any problems in the Retro Game Room that have resulted from this maintenance, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=25139
The site is currently undergoing maintenance, it may be slow and unresponsive at times. You'll also notice the RGR screenshots currently not available and the chat room will probably have many issues. This will be fixed shortly, I'll make a separate announcement when things are fixed.

I've spent the past 2 days working on getting an updated version of the chat room back up. Spent a good amount of time securing it and adding a few features. You'll notice a few features removed (this is because V7 of the room no longer has those features unfortunately) and also a few extra features and you'll also notice that this version runs a lot better (and is less server strain).
You guys can definitely still donate toward the chat room I mentioned in the previous announcement (surprisingly no one donated but if we do get some donations, I'll put it toward a better chat room).
If you have any feedback or questions, please reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=24068
I was forced to remove the current chat room due to a few users finding ways to hack it. Now I'm looking into a better chat room. The current one I'm looking into is called 'Flashcoms Chat' which goes for about US $300 (features here and demo here). Since I don't have that much, I'm relying on the vizzed community to donate so that we can get a new chat room. I haven't picked out a chat room quite yet but $300 is the amount I'm aiming to raise for this since that'll be enough for most chat rooms that I'm interested in (or the cost to upgrade the current so that it is more secure).
The sooner you guys donate, the sooner we can get a new chat room up.
Current Chat Room Donations: $0 / $300
none yet
If you donate, please be sure to respond to this thread letting me know your donation was for the chat room so that I can add you to the list:

I'm looking for someone who has very good PHP knowledge and is also familiar with vBulletin boards and how their code works. I'm looking to hire someone to help JigSaw and I get a vBulletin 'Triple Triad' addon to work with my forum (which is a custom made forum). We're willing to help out as much as possible, we basically need someone to assist us (you can see the addon here).
I'm willing to pay up to US $100 and 50,000 Viz for anyone who can help us. I should point out that I already have PHP knowledge (most of this site is coded by me and some of it by JigSaw), I basically need someone for their vBulletin coding knowledge.
Maybe the easiest way to go about this is I give you the variables and DB info my site uses and you modify the software so that it works with it.

I've purchased a new Chat Room for vizzed board, so much better than the old chat rooms. To access it, click the 'Chat Rooms' link from the top of the site. It was about $85 and I might get some additional plugins (which cost extra) so for those who plan to use it often and have money, show your thanks by donating
You can find the Chat Room Help Page which explains the features and how they work here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/prochatrooms/help/index.php
(note that some features have been disabled due to abuse, including sound effects and ring bell)
Features Included:
-Faster and runs better than the old chat room
-Users can adjust their font color and style
-Users can change their avatar which represents them in the chat room (I'll eventually allow users to add their own custom avatars)
-Shows who is in which chat room the right side
-You can exchange pictures and files with other users (do this only in the appropriate room and abuse will result into a ban)
-A roll dice feature which is nice for sim battles
-Lets you change your user status for people in all rooms to see
-Other various IRC Commands available
-You can block users who are annoying so that you don't have to see what they're saying
-Flood control and swear filters
-Users can vote to ban someone if there's no mods around (it takes 3 votes for someone to get banned)
-Transcr
-32 Smilies to use
-Users show up as idle if they are inactive for 5 minutes and get booted after 15 minutes of inactivity
-Staff now have mod powers which allow them to ban users
-From user profiles, you can see how many hours each user has spent chatting in the chat rooms (it's right below the thread stats toward the top center of the page)
-Users can create their own rooms and also put passwords on them (rooms disappear after 60 seconds of inactivity)
Some of the features I've modified myself and I also plan to add in a few of my own. If anyone has any questions or feedback regarding the new chat room, please post it here:

Secondly, you'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to vizzed from now until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'.
Enjoy

3 updates here:
Game History
You can now see the last 50 games you've played in order from your Gamer Profile (about half way down the page). This is handy for those who have the laptop item or have a game system and want to track which games they've played. Also note that if you play a game 2 times in a row, back to back, it will show that you've played that game 2 times back to back.
Cheaper Games
As everyone knows, Viz is easy to earn (you get 100 just from coming to the site each day) and is free but I've gone ahead and made many of the RGR games cost less Viz, the average game dropped by about 5 Viz. This is a permanent change. This will probably increase the cost of the server's bandwidth slightly so feel free to donate to help me out
More Graphics
I added Box Graphics and Screenshots to many of the Apple II games, before hardly any of them had graphics. I also added Box Graphics and Screenshots to many of the Commodore 64 games, none of them had graphics before. Having graphics to games is important because it helps people figure out whether a game looks like it's worth playing or not because many people enjoy discovering games and finding new ones to play.

I've added MSX and Commodore 64 games to the site. However, the MSX games haven't been tested yet so play them at risk because they might not work. As for the Commodore 64 games, they haven't been tested and they still have to be properly named, play those at risk also. I'm hoping by the end of the month that all the non working games for those systems will be removed, the games properly named and the adult games removed.

Vizzed is back up and is now on both servers again like it had been before the incident of this past week.
If you are having any problems that are due to this transfer, please let me know here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=18357
Vizzed will be down for a few minutes sometime during the next half hour, I'll be transferring the Database over to the 2nd Server again.
For the next few hours you all might notice the Forums being rearranged, I'm working on a few forum structure which will be available in a few hours. You can still post like normal.
As most of you know by now, Vizzed is back, for more info, refer to the previous announcement.
As a way to say sorry for Vizzed being down for 12+ hours, games will cost 50% less Viz for the next 3 days!
If you have any comments regarding any of this, please reply here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=18277
For reasons beyond me, the Plesk Control Panel which is installed on the 2nd Server which hosts the Database for Vizzed got messed up and the server also got messed up (I have no idea what happened either, I didn't touch anything). After many hours I was able to get Godaddy to fix the server but the Plesk installation is beyond repair so I'll have to have that server formatted and the Plesk CP reinstalled. So for the time being, the DB will be on the same server as everything else. A month or so ago I got a 2nd server to help reduce site strain in order to increase the site speed. Until I get the 2nd Server back up and running, the site will be a little slower than normal since the DB will be on it again. When the 2nd Server is ready for the DB to be transferred, Vizzed will probably be down for just a few hours, this will probably take place within the next 1 or 2 days.

About 6 hours ago Vizzed DB was transferred to a new Server. This process actually went very smoothly, I think the site was only down for a half hour if that.
What does this mean for everyone? Well the pages should still run quickly even during peak hours. Vizzed should now be able to handle between 2000-3000 people on at a time, compared to 500-600 before. Connecting to a DB that isn't on the same server as the PHP files adds a slight delay but hopefully it isn't to noticeable.
I also updated the Chat Bar to a stable release which means that it should have less glitches now. I also changed the scheme of it a little.
If anyone has any questions or comments, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=17266
I've purchased a 2nd server to help out with the Server strain.
Vizzed will be down for a few hours any time between 12 AM and 12 PM Central Time.
The 2nd Server will increase the site's speed greatly, there's just to much traffic for only 1 server so it's about time that we get a 2nd server.
Unfortunetly this also jacks up the monthly fee to keep the site up to about $400 a month, so this is also a reminder to donate to Vizzed if you can afford it.
For any questions or comments, please reply here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=17231
Sorry for the inconvenience of being down on and off, everything should be up and working fine now. There might be another security update tomorrow but I will inform you all with an announcement if I plan on doing anything which could result into the site being unavailable.
Vizzed will be undergoing maintenance for the next few hours.

Someone went through and edited the info to 30+ game pages in the Retro Game Room (mostly hacks). For most of the games the file was either removed or the game was marked as not working, resulting into these games not being playable.
I fixed all that I saw that were edited, if any other games still don't work that did before, please let me know here:

The monthly Retro Game Room Competitions are a little over half way over, so be sure to compete before the month ends! This month's competitions:
HighScore Contest
Pac-Man
Screenshot Contest
Funny Comic Strip
Remember, the winners of each competition gets 10,000 Viz, 2nd and 3rd place also are awarded Viz.
I just want to announce that we received $270 in donations, the target was $300 but I was able to come up with the rest. Of course I encourage users to continue donating since the server costs around $300 a month and the next deadline will be a little over 1 month from now but from now on I'll be able to afford covering what isn't covered.
Anyways, I just want to say thanks to everyone who donated and to everyone who considered donating. It means a lot to have such a loyal and supportive community filled with kind and generous members, I couldn't ask for a better community
Any questions, comments or concerns, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=15961
NOTE: If you don't know what this Announcement is about, please refer to the previous Announcement.
I currently don't have enough money to renew the server 9 days from now and I'm in need of $300 for it. I honestly don't know where I'm going to come up with the money and I fear that vizzed could be down for a while if we don't get the $300 before September 12th.
If everyone who can afford just a little bit pitches in, we'll have enough for sure, so please consider helping out if you're able to. And remember, you are awarded 10,000 Viz for each US $10 you donate.
Reasons why I'm behind on the payment? 2 reasons:
1. I used a lot of the Vizzed fund to put toward an updated RGR Plugin without realizing that I put almost all of it toward the RGR Plugin. (the new RGR Plugin will be released soon which will have a few new features, many bugs and problems fixed, and also support for the famicom disk system).
2. My wife and I have our baby due any day which means money is very tight for us right now with all the baby expenses and hospital bills so I honestly don't have any of my own money to spare this time

For 1 week only, you'll be given triple the amount of Viz you would normally get for referring people. This means you'll get 300 Viz anytime someone clicks your referral link, 1500 Viz if the person you referred signs up and 3000 Viz if they post!
Why do this?
1. I have a lot of sympathy for the kids who have to go back to school and this week most people who attend had to go back
2. What a great opportunity for you guys who are going back to school to tell your friends or classmates about vizzed
What or Where is your Referral code?
It can be found right below the message center (where it shows your Private Messages, Announcements and Notifications at the top of the page). You'll see a URL that highlights when you click it. Your referral link is relevant to the page so whatever page you copy the referral link from, that's the page the person will be taken to when they click your link. People can also sign up without clicking your referral link, when they are registering they can simply type in your username to refer to you (you'll still earn up to 2700 Viz this route).

I've spent the past week making the following updates:
New Profiles
Spent the past few days completely remaking the profile pages from the ground up. You can see an example here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/profile.php?id=1
And here's an example of the Game Profile:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/profile.php?id=1&profile=game
Please note that the big box ad is only temporary until I replace it with something else (a future feature).
What's new about the profiles:
-Profiles are a lot smaller, about half the size they were before
-Easier to navigate
-Quicker to load (a big profile like mine wont be to much faster but a newbies profile will be a LOT faster)
-Easier to browse the games you have
-SNES Games are displayed nicely (hope to do that with the rest soon)
-You can now see who has added you as a friend
-Your friends list is more organized
-You can now see how many guests you referred
-You can view up to 100 comments you've received on your profile
-You can quickly reply to comments
-Sent Private Message link is easier to find
-You can now see all your most recent comments you've made on games
-You can now see all your most recent reviews you've made on games
-You can now see all your most recent screenshots you've taken on games
-Bio at bottom of page so that people can have really big bios without it interfering with the rest of their profile
You can now Backup your Save Files, make copies and also delete them
Ever wanted more than 1 save file? Ever wanted to make a backup in case something happened to your save file? Ever wanted to delete your safe file for any reasons? Well now you can
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/savefiles.php
Games Cost Viz Again
I know I said I'd wait until September 1st but I decided to end the offer early and in return, the games will be half the regular Viz price until September 1st. This probably is better for some people because you'll still own the games after September 1st, while having them 0 Viz means you wouldn't. Plus I've had a lot of people request me to do this.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions with these updates, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=15084
500+ New Sega Genesis Games
I've added around 500 new Sega Genesis games to the RGR. Before we mostly had just USA games and we were even missing some of those (thanks to MBWrestler87 for mentioning that we were missing Virtua Fighter 2, which inspired this update). After this update we should have an almost complete Sega Genesis game collection. To see the newly added Genesis games, you can sort the Sega Genesis games in order by date as seen here:

9 New Pokemon GBA Hacks
I've done some searching for Pokemon hacks that vizzed didn't have. Most of these are only beta but most of these are rare and incredibly hard to find:
Pokemon Ash Gray Follows storyline of the Anime
Pokemon Azure Horizons
Pokemon Crystal Shards
Pokemon Lightning Yellow Remake of Pokemon Yellow
Pokemon Marble New Fake Pokemon
Pokemon Naranja
Pokemon Pyschic
Pokemon Waterfall Contains Pokemon from Pokemon Platinum
Be sure to take screenshots of the new Hacked games so that others can see what the game is like
Halo 2600 - Atari 2600 Hack
Lastly, we have an Atari 2600 hack. This would probably the the only time I'd even bother mentioning a single Atari 2600 hack but this one is big news. A former Microsoft employee made Halo for the Atari 2600. If you're not use to Atari 2600 games than you will not like this.

You can refer to the previous announcement on what this is all about, or you can refer here. The only way we can support her is by praying and by doing this. The only way we can show her how much we care and think about it her is by posting as much as we can in honor of her. It'll be very uplifting for her to see an entire community dedicate an entire day to posting as much as they can in honor of her and right now that's exactly what she needs, to have her mood lifted, even if it's only temporary.
So let the posting begin, it'll go on for 24 hours (server time) and our goal is to reach 1000 posts in a single day (go here to see why we picked 1000). Please keep the spam to a minimum, we will still ban members for excessive spamming.

The Super Mario Bros High Score Contest and the Scavenger Hunt Screenshot Contest are coming to an end but there's still 4 1/2 days left to compete so be sure to give them a try.
Here are the Prizes for each contest:
1st = 10,000 Viz
2nd = 2,500 Viz
3rd = 1,000 Viz
If I were to sell a PC Controller with the Vizzed Logo on it and pre-configured for the RGR, would you buy it? Please answer honestly, I need to know this before I buy a bulk quantity of 50. Also be honest as to how much you'd be willing to spend on the controller if you say Yes, either $15 or $20 (Prices do include shipping).
You'd also get 10,000 Viz points with the PC Controller!
Basically the controller would already be set up with the RGR Plugin games so that you didn't have to configure them. The controller would be pre-approved by me to work good and be perfect for all the retro games in the RGR. It would also have the Vizzed Logo on the controller and the packaging.

Well after days of complications, Vizzed Board is back for good!
Well we had some complications with the current server so instead of fixing it, I decided to transfer to a new server. Well the new server had some complications and so I decided to revert back to this server. I've decided that instead of migrating to a new server in the future, I'll just get a 2nd server and place the database on the 2nd server. I can't possibly describe how many difficulties I went through but I've invested about 50+ hours on these problems over the past few days.
Anyways, Vizzed is back for good and nothing was lost. You can go back to posting and playing games like usual.
As a bonus to make up for the 3 days worth of down time, RGR Games will be free, 0 Viz, for the rest of summer (even if it'll cost me a ton of extra money, I feel I owe it to you guys).
For more information, questions, feedback, etc... refer to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=13982
I've just spent the past 3 days (and 20+ hours) optimizing the site to increase performance and speed. Unfortunately this required me to spend most of my Saturday working on this, however it was definitely needed since the site was starting to get real slow and the SQL Server kept crashing due to so much database strain and I wasn't going to put something like this off to the side. I'm sure everyone has noticed the huge increase in site speed
(note: the RGR game pages were taking up to 5 seconds to load before, now they're well under 1 second - in other words, about 10 times faster)
All games are free for the next few days
That's right, all games are free to play for the next few days. I'm making some DB changes and therefore I can't allow any data to go to or from the DB that involves purchasing or selling games. This means that while the games are free to play, you wont actually be purchasing them when you go to play them. Also because of this, you currently cannot sell your games that you have.
For those who are tech savvy, here's exactly what I did: Currently I have 1 DB table dedicated to keeping track of all the games that every user owns. The problem with this is that there's over 300,000 rows which means that every time a user goes to a Game page, it has to search through all of those rows to see if the user owns the game. What I plan on doing is making a table for each individual system. One of the reasons why the game pages are a lot faster now is because I removed the scr
Improved RGR Search
A lot of Google Bots would get stuck or lost in the RGR Search engine which would cause a little strain. Basically they'd end up on pages that would display no results. Here's what I did to prevent this:
When you go to search for a game, Tetris for example, the systems that have the game 'Tetris' would be clickable and let you view only Tetris games for whatever system you clicked and all other systems are dimmed but if you click them, it just takes you to the system but it wont try to display tetris games for that system since the dimmed systems don't have tetris games; same thing applies for the letters.
Another nice new thing I've added was that if your search results return nothing, the RGR will try to make a recommendation. So for example, lets say someone tried searching for Pokemon games for the Atari 2600, since none exist, it would give you recommendations of Pokemon games for other systems.
This also increases my Search Engine rankings since Search Engines will be finding and displaying good pages in the RGR instead of bad pages with no results.
Other Optimizations
I did optimize various other pages which included the Message Center, RGR Pages, Index, and a few other things.

Click Here to vizzit the Vizzed Ebay Store
Most of you probably have seen by now that Vizzed recently opened up a store on ebay and is giving out 500 Viz for every US $1 you spend in the store. The store is about half way over so be sure to take advantage of this offer and the below offers:
Most of the Games in the store have dropped in price between 25% - 50%
Also, Pokemon Cards have been added to the store!

I've just added 1200+ Nintendo and Famicom games (famicom games are listed under NES). The RGR should now have just about every single Nintendo and Famicom game ever made, I was surprised at how many Nintendo games were missing and I've also had a ton of requests to add more Famicom games. What is the Famicom? Well it's basically the Nintendo in Japan. You can find the newly added games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/index.php?system=nes&sort=id
I've also added 2000+ Atari 2600 games. I was surprised at how many games were missing. This update also includes a bunch of hacks. You can find the newly added games here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/index.php?system=a2600&sort=id
Atari 2600 games are now 1 Viz. Since the games are so small, it was silly to even charge 5 Viz. Plus a lot of games suck. Another reason for this is that there's been a lot of people who have bought Atari 2600 games, didn't like them, rated them a 10 to get some of their Viz back, and than sold it (which results into a full refund). Well now that the games are only 1 Viz, you don't get any Viz for rating them or selling them.
Apple II games are now 5 Viz. Not a big drop in price but they went from 7 Viz to 5 for similar reasons to the Atari 2600 price drop.

3 new little features for the RGR Search engine.
Random Game
You can now have the RGR randomly pick a game for you by clicking the 'Random' button. It randomly picks a game based on your specifications. For example, if you type in 'mario' in the search box and click 'Random', it'll randomly bring up a game with 'mario' in the title. If click to display only game boy games and click 'Random', it'll randomly pick a game boy game. And of course if you have no specifications, it'll randomly pick any game in the RGR.
First Game
This is for users who are impatient or in a hurry and want to go directly to the game they are searching for. So if I wanted to search for 'Moto Roader' and wanted the RGR to take me directly to that game, I type in 'Moto Roader' and click '1st' and I'll be brought to that game automatically. Now there are some games with the same title as others, the RGR will randomly return either the one with the most views or the one with the highest rating. Just like the 'Random Game' feature, you can adjust your specifications. For example, I can click 'Sega Genesis' and than type in 'Bomberman' and it'll direct me to the 1st 'Bomberman' game the RGR finds for the Sega Genesis.
Country Origin on Search Results
Search results now tell you which country that specific game was released in. (U) = USA, (J) = Japan, (UEJ) = USA, Europe and Japan, etc. This will help you to avoid games released in certain countries. I also made little flags to represent which country each game is from.

The more support we can get, the sooner this upgraded game can be released! So if you don't have the talent to apply, please tell anyone you know that does have the talent.

D-Pad Hero 2 Highscore Competition
Have the highest score in this game at the end of the month.
Close Call Screenshot Competition

You can now view and rotate 3D models of the game boxes for all the systems. This has been an on going project for the past 4 months now which I've put 100+ hours into. I probably wouldn't have began this project if I would've known it would have taken so long but I'm very happy with the outcome. I put a lot of time into the tiniest detail to get these things to look as real as possible. They aren't perfect but they add a nice touch and I really wanted to "wow" the user
- it's also fun being able to see the original box and it's content on the front and back.
Here's a few good examples:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=3387 - Genesis Box (these were the hardest)
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=9066 - Nintendo 64
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=10643 - Game Boy Advance
You can rotate the 3D models, view the back, view the front and there's also an 'Enlarge Box' button which gives you a bigger view. Scroll down about half way down almost any game page, you'll see the 3D models on the right.
Some systems are missing boxart graphics while others need better resolution box graphics. I'm looking to hire a few people willing to help me add boxart graphics. Anyone interested, please reply to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=12650
Only requirement is that you have a lot of free time over the next few weeks. Also reply to that thread with any feedback you may have.
Vizzed has a facebook page:

Turns out some of the games weren't working after the transfer and some people were unable to load or save their games. This should be fixed but if not, please report any other problems that you might be having that has come up after the server transfer a few days ago in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=11194
The server migration took longer than expected (full details here) but everything is finished being transferred and we are of course on the new server
The new server is over twice as powerful which means that the site will be able to handle over doubled the traffic, we shouldn't have to upgrade again for the rest of the year. Also the new server has file mirroring which greatly reduces the chances of files getting corrupted such as your save files. And the other big change is that the disk space of the new server is over doubled which means I've got more space to add more games in the future.
Thanks for everyones patience during the transfer. I know I had originally said it'd only take 12 hours but ended up taking 36 hours.
If anyone notices any problems that may have been caused from the transfer, please report them ASAP in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=11155
Any time between now and Thursday there will be some down time, possibly up to 12 hours. No data will be loss.
Vizzed is migrating to a more powerful server which will be literally over twice as powerful. The reason for this migration is that the Vizzed traffic is expected to increase rapidly during the next few months and since the CPU usage is already getting near 90% during peak hours, now is the best time to do the migration.
Any questions, please post them here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=11108
Well as you can all see, the New Board Experience has launched!
If for some reason you're still seeing old graphics, simply press Ctrl + F5, because you're browser is probably caching the old graphics. You may need to do this for multiple pages.
What's new on the New Experience?
-Chat Bar
At the bottom of every page, you'll see a chat bar which lets you chat with your friends, tells you which friends are online and also lets you either create or enter a user created chat room and chat with others (this is based on the cometchat plugin I purchased but spent an entire day alone modifying and working on). You can disable the plugin in the edit profile page, or you can simply make it so that it appears on the index only.
-All new graphics and scheme
Completely updated graphics and a new design which makes navigating the site easier and quicker
-Friends list
You can add users to your friends list but either going to the Control Panel and than to Friends List, or you can add them from their profile
-Status Bar
Below the banner you will see a status bar which now shows who is also on that page for every single page
-You now get 100 Viz for coming to vizzed board each day (before it was 50)
-Help Links
This isn't finished yet but I plan to make terminology that users are unfamiliar with clickable links (as you can see, the word 'viz' is a clickable link in most areas which now takes you to a page telling you how to earn it and what it is
-Optimization
Many pages have been optimized so that they put less strain on the server and also make the page load faster
-About Us page
Gives detailed information about vizzed from general information, credits, privacy policy, disclaimer and some history
-Updated Index
Gives a little more information, has a google search and also encourages users to bookmark the page
-Viz Center
Gives you your referral link (like before) but also shows your Viz count, has a donation button and has a link you can click for more information
-Etc
Please report any problems you may have with the new experience in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=10717
but PLEASE be specific and detailed. It's not quite finished but I figured it was far enough along to go live.
All you have to do is place your referral link on any website or email it to anyone and you'll earn Viz!
Post your referral link on any website, your facebook / myspace / twitter profile, email it to people, post it on youtube, post it in your signature or bio of another message board, etc... or tell your friends about (if your friend signs up without a referral link, on the registration page they can choose your username as the person who referred them and you'll still get credit).
You can find your referral link near the top of every page directly above the message center. The referral link takes the person to the same page you got your referral link on.
Here's how much Viz you get from referrals:
-For every person with a unique IP who visits your referral link, you earn 100 Viz
-If a person you referred registers, you earn an additional 400 Viz
-If the user you referred makes a post, you earn an additional 500 Viz
-You also earn 5 Viz for every single post the person makes that you referred
You can see a list of all the people who you referred that signed up by going to your profile; you'll also receive a notification.
BONUS PROMOTIONAL OFFER - Earn $ Cash $
US $10 - If you refer at least 25 people to the site who sign up, you will be awarded $10 Cash
US $25 - If you refer at least 50 people to the site who sign up, you will be awarded $25 Cash
(remember, this is in USA currency)
Promotional Offer Rules:
-Only users who sign up using unique IPs count. So in other words, users who sign up using your IP or at your location do not count.
-The money will be paid either thru Paypal or I can order something online for you equivelant to the payout (which includes the shipping cost)
-You can choose to have extra Viz instead of Cash. $10 payout would become 10,000 Viz and $25 payout would become 25,000 Viz
-The most each individual user can earn is $25
-This offer is good until July 1st, 2010 or until I've paid out a total of $100, which ever comes first
-All the Viz you earn is automated but to get the Cash payout, you MUST PM me once you've referred the number of users for a cash payout
I've spent the past few days implementing lots of features which will ultimately make the vizzed board experience even better!
New Features Include:
Modified Message Center
This area contains your Private Messages, your Notifications, and the Announcements. These things also appear on all pages now so that users will know when they get PM's, get notifications and now people will actually know when an announcement is made.
Notifications
When someone replies to a thread you made, you will receive a Notification. If you haven't read your notifications, it will only notify you once per a thread so therefore it wont notify you again if additional replies have been made to a thread that you've posted (until you've read your notifications). When you go to the notifications page, it automatically marks all notifications as read.
Things that you get notified on:
-Replies to threads you made
-When someone signs up and refers to you
-When someone posts a comment on your profile
-When someone stickies, unstickies, opens or closes one of your threads (and it tells you who did it)
-When someone moves one of your threads (and it tells you who did it and where it got moved to)
-Additional notifications to come (so request some suggestions and if it's good, it'll be a notification)
Modified Announcements
Announcements will now appear on all pages and will let you know when a New Announcement has been made. Going to the Announcements page marks all Announcements as read.
Modified Referral System (remember, referring users earns you lots of viz)
Your referral code is still on the index but now when a user clicks it, not only does it take them to the index of the site but it lets them navigate the site all they want and when they're ready to register, it'll still set you as the referrer. The way it worked before was dumb, basically you gave someone a link which took the user to the register page and if they didn't register using that exact link, you didn't get the referral; this is not the case anymore.
Also, if someone registers that you referred but didn't use your referral link, when they're signing up, they can type in the username of the person who referred them (and it has a drop down box that auto populates with the correct spelling of all the usernames on the board).
You can discuss these feautures here to give me feedback:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=9611
We have just added a new feature: Photo Album!
Now you can upload your photos and share them with others and get Viz when someone posts a comment on them.
Here is the pricing for each picture you upload:
- Newbie = 100 viz to upload
- Trusted = 75 viz to upload
- Local Mod = 50 viz to upload
- Global Mod = 25 viz to upload
- Admin = 0 viz to upload
- Site Owner = 0 Viz to upload
For each comment you post on a photo you get 10 viz, if someone comments your photo you will also get 10 Viz.
Spamming comments will get you banned so don't even try it!
Here is the photo album: https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/photoalbum.php
To upload photos visit: https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/photoalbum.php?V=upload
To view your own photo album simply click on the link that says "your photo album" located next to the welcome message.
Enjoy it
Thanks,
JigSaw
As many of you have noticed since yesterday new threads and replies were not working. All posts that you made during this time are lost and cannot be recovered.
This is mainly due to a server upgrade for increased RAM which somehow was able to glitch the database.
David has repaired the database so everything should work fine now.
We have just added another new feature this week: Automark Threads Read!
This feature basically marks a thread as read when you view the thread for those who don't know the point of it.
Believe it or not I don't think this feature ever worked as long as I've been here (4+ years). It was also a feature DM has been requesting for just as long as I've been a member. Glad it is finally up!
Enjoy it
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
We have just added 3 new features:
1. User Profile Comments
2. Edit Profile User Pic & Minipic Uploads
3. Picture Attachments on New Threads & Replies
Enjoy
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
We have just added a new feature: Block PM's From Certain Users!
To block a user from sending you PM's simply go the users profile you wish to block PM's from and click on the 'Block PM's' button at the very bottom of the page. To unblock PM's from a user do the exact same thing. If you blocked a users PM's then the 'Block PM's' button will say 'Unblock PM's'.
So if someone is annoying you or being rude, just block them
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
We have just added a new feature: Sending Viz by user profiles!
*You will not be able to send Viz if you are not logged in or if you are viewing your own profile.
To send Viz simply go the users profile you wish to send Viz to and it will appear above the users post layout. If you don't know what or where that is then scroll down to the bottom of their page and you will see it
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
First I would like to say that we are currently in the process of patching this hole....
Someone SQL injected and showed us a pretty little picture. So with that being said, please change your password to something that you don't use on other sites. That is a good practice to us everywhere though.
The staff members and I will let you know when we get everything patches.
Please note: Every site is vulnerable and securing it isn't an instant thing, people find exploits on websites all the time. I will be going through files and patching things as needed.
Thanks,
The Staff.
Some things that have bugging the hell out of me is inactive/banned/people who dont post showing up everywhere. I took the liberty to edit a few files.
You will notice we dont have a billion birthday on the index page thats because you have to meet these qualifications...
Must have account above banned status
Account must have 10+ posts
And it has to be your birthday of course
//++
// ACS
//++
ACS has been altered too if you're banned then you do not show up on the ACS either.
I look forward to implementing a few more features, this should also help speed up the servers response with not having to grab a billion account that only play games.
Thanks,
Vizzed Development
First let me start by saying welcome, you are now a member of our Vizzed community and we're glad to have you....
But with being a member becomes responsibility, it's just like getting your license. It's a privilege not a right. With that being said if you tend to break the rules we take privileges away. (Sorry thats just how it goes)
We ask that you read this before continuing, consider yourself warned.
On behalf of the staff welcome and thanks.
This years Sausage Fest has been canceled, any questions refer to this thread
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=4732
Hello Vizzed goers....
As you may have know development for Vizzed has slowed down quite a bit, but I'm just here to let you know that I am starting to develop again.
So I am going to request if you notice any errors that you please report them to -- ME --
As of right now, the features are secret. Sorry.
Enjoy!
Well surprisingly, this is something I fixed on my own
Apparently the table which is responsible for containing all the content of the posts had crashed (god knows how) so I repaired it. It only took me 4 hours to figure out that was the problem
As you can all see, there are some Errors throughout Vizzed Board. So far they are only in the threads and on the reply pages, but those are critical pages for them to be on since that prevents us from posting.
Anyway, I'm working on getting these errors fixed but currently have no idea in the world what is causing them. If anyone knows of a PHP expert that might know the problem, please show them the errors, I could use all the help I can get to get this problem fixed.
To keep in touch with eachother, you can PM eachother still and can also use the 'Shoutbox' to talk back and forth.
Hopefully Bigbob comes on soon, or even Randy.
Vizzed Board will be the Official forum for Get-Your-Rom.com just until Get-Your-Rom.com gets a new forum up. The previous forum on GYR had so many spam bots that we were pretty much forced to just close it down.
For reference purposes, the old forum is still up and can be viewed here: http://www.get-your-rom.com/forum/YaBB.pl
Those who were staff on that old forum can have their staff positions back on this forum, just be sure to register and PM me and I'll give you your position back.
Thanks.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's part of 1.42!?

Please do the following:
- Errors

Please report anything that you feel needs to be reported to me, or David, BB if im not online.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!
Just wanted to announce that the Arcade works again
Don't worry, nothing is missing it prolly just got moved. The header is getting cluttered and I got some pretty good ideas coming. Mark forums read is at the bottom of the forum. More to come soon!

Thanks for waiting patiently, Randy.
Editlayout.php is currently broken, please standby as we fix this issue.

SideBoard 2 will contain anything to do with Flash and Game Development.
SideBoard 4 will be anything related to vizzed.com, such as arcade discussion, forum help, etc.

This is teh official start of dragon master month. Thi9s will be like 30 dragon masters days in a row... so you should worship him now.
You can apply to be a staff member. To see the qualifications and the application go
Here
This is an offer to ANYONE!
Ok, I'm willing to pay anyone $5 (US 5 dollars) for each and EVERY member that you bring that becomes active (and not thru spamming; can't be of the same ip location either).
I dont care how you get the members to the board (it can be a friend, someone you found in a chat room, advertisement on a different board, etc), but all they gotta do is become active (or atleast get 25-50 posts), and it can't be spam! As soon as they've reached that amount of posts, I will add $5 to the amount of money I owe you.
If you bring 2 members who become "active", than I owe you $10. If you bring 10, than I owe you $50! There's no limit to how many you can bring, I'm capable of paying out as many as you can bring. All I need is some sort of proof that you brought the member; either they should refer to you, or mention in their newbie thread.
Also note, I will be sending the money out in November! So, I will tally up how much I owe each person, and than send them their money sometime in November. You can specify how you'll want to receive the money. Paypal or money order thru the mail. ALSO, if you earn enough money for somethin that you'd like for me to order on the internet for you (with my credit card), I will order anything you'd like, as long as the price of it is equal to or less than the money I owe you (including shipping).
Most importantly, PM me who you brought, before and after they become "active".
The game show has begun. Those of you who remember the last game show 'Surviving Fanisters Island' will understand how this one will go.
ENTER NOW
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=1717
Sorry for being late on this I finally figured out the problem and this is now fixed.
So yay!
More updates to come later.
Also if everyone could say thank you to BigBob and Syntax for working hard on the arcade that would be great.
Thanks everyone for being such loyal and great members.
Well, after being nagged and around 1500 lines of code AR 1.0 is complete. And it is currently being integrated into the board, hope you enjoy.
If you find any bugs post them here. You might be missing some newer ones but these are the ones from before the boards upgrade. Also, user ratings are back in place.
Sorry for the inconveinience.
Do not Send PM's, they dont work properly. If you PM someone, the PM will be sent to someone else, NOT the person your PM'ing.
Not sure how long this will be a problem, but hopefully no later than a week.
The board will be upgrading to 1.A2-AR.73. Any questions/comments/ideas/concerns can be addressed here. The board could have a few things to be fixed but dont expect it to be a big deal.
Ok, me and MichaelVash have closed EVERY thread that is to old to be bumped. This means, you guys can reply to ANY thread that is open, just as long as you stay to the topic.
This makes things waaaay easier and keeps things under control.
Hopefully at the beggining of every season, we will close all the threads that can't be bumped.
Ever felt the need to be a bigger part of Vizzed Board? Ever felt that you were put on this planet to have your very own forum on Vizzed Board?
Well here's your chance. For only 2000 Viz, you can own your VERY OWN Forum on Vizzed Board!

This is a limited time offer, so act fast!
The Vizzed Official Battle Rules are finally up and Official!
Here are the rules
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=758
And here's a sample battle
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=723
Incase you dont know, the battles will take place in the forum titled "Vizzed Battle Arena"
The Rules are a bit long, but it's pretty simple to understand. ALSO, I'm looking to hire another ref or 2...anyone is capable of being a referee. John and MichaelVash are currently the only refs. You must understand ALL the rules to be a ref. The ref thread is here...
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=759
I'd like to see some battles getting started!
Also, I plan to start a battle tournament...if enough people are interested.
We have a new Item Shop!!! The link is at the top of the page to the right corner underneath the time...and can also be accessed here
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/store.php
If you’re all wondering why I haven't been active lately, this is why...
Every Single user has his or her own stats. You can look into your profile or into the item shop to see your stats. Every time you level up, your stats go up (your level goes up by posting and is also based off your registration date).
Buying items ALSO raise your stats. In the shop you'll see that every item (except accessories) raises your stats in some sort of way. Currently there are no Side-Kicks in the shop yet, they will be added at a later time. The items you own can be viewed in your profile and in the shop.
The new item shop was designed by me and Syntax Legend, and mostly coded by him. I payed him $35 to do so, and he did a very nice job!
There's also a big batch load of new items... 8 New Weapons, 5 new shields, 8 new items in armor shop, 5 new helmets, 3 new boots, and 2 new accessories.
AS ALWAYS, EVERY item and their image were created by me, as with their descr
Many many hours were spent adding these items to the shop. I had to do allot of research for many of the items and I had to design formulas so that the prices and stats were all balanced out.
The Viz Transfer works differently now. It's a drop down box, and you select a user from that menu. ALSO, when you Send Viz to a User, it will send Him/her a PM letting him/her know how much Viz they received and who they are receiving it from.
Links at the top of the page have been moved around slightly. Item Shop link is below time, MAIN link is below Views, New posts link has been added along with search and downloads link. Also, the board's banner is now a clickable link which leads to the main page of the board.
I am almost completely done with the Official Battle Rules for the battle arena. The battles will be using the stats from the items and also some of the descr
Last note, if anyone has ANY comments, suggestions or question on the item shop, PM ME! And if there are any other items you'd like to see, I will see if I'm capable of drawing it if it interests me.
(note, I do not plan to put items made by other people, all items in the item shop will always be created only by me).
You can now sell your items once again.
I will be updating the links at the top within a few days, as soon as I decide which links I want at the top and as soon as I get the itemshop updated a little more.
DO NOT SELL ANY ITEMS IN THE ITEM SHOP!
You can buy Items still, but DO NOT SELL THEM.
What will happen is, you'll lose almost ALL of your Viz!!
I will figure a way to get this fixed ASAP.
Here we have it, the new vizzed board.
If you wanna see the old board, it can be viewed here
At the Archive!
Make Sure To Register!
