    Why can't we upload NDS screenshots for the roms?

    Because I think Seph has made it private i believe. I am not sure though.
    The only site I think that accepts public screenshots is emuxperts.net (still experimental though, but works well)

    haha you're all about advertising your site. :p

    The reason you can't upload NDS screenshots is because when I first wrote the script it wasn't possible to emulate NDS ROMs and such screenshots were redundant, it'll soon become available though, and not just NDS but all the systems.

    And RomUlation is all about community collaboration, there're no private features.

    Ok,

    Well when you do have screenshots online let me know. Check out the screenshots I put up on Wikipedia for iDeaS and No$gba :)

    Nintendo's screenshot has a big black border whereas the screenshots from no$gba don't. Since the admins have a huge workload already it has to be users who upload screenshots. In the future that will most likely be screenshots taken via no$gba which makes the ones from Nintendo strech akwardly due to their black border.

    cant you create a team of volunteers who is willing to cut out the black edges of those screenshot?
    or some idea like this because the screenshots from nintendo are showing what you want (gameplay etc...)

    Generally I'd say it's easier to just take the damn screenshots yourself. Of course we aren't going to stop anyone from doing it, as with all user submitted content, as long as it fits the guidelines, the dimensions and isn't some obvious rip-off from another site then it will get accepted, whether it's original work or modified nintendo screenshot.

    many emulators emulate 'some' games, when finding a working game it's important to take some screenshots and add them to our database. :)

    I picture my games using R4DS Screen Snap Function
    I buy all my games however then rom only for ease access at work, I'll only ever get a rom to test it for buying, i live by the standard try before you buy when it comes to games.

    Exactly my view on emulation, try before you buy. :)

    Wait a second... Holy crap on a stick did he just say he downloaded some app called R4DS Screen Snap Function? WTF, CycloNDS Evo doesn't have it though it's just because the programmers are lazy and i find out this dude has a program for it all along...time for google.

    Didn't download mate, I simply made a home brew program and added its function to R4DS. The R4 crew are already working on the function for one of the future updates thats built in, so i didn't even bother handing them my code.
