Question about helping
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2018 3:00 am
I had some questions about helping this site out. I play when I can retro games (2600, nes, gen, etc) and it's not too much trouble to run a script that takes a screenshot every 5 minutes while I play. If I do this how many screenshots do you want? Best 2-3? I doubt you would want 12 from an hour of playing Driver 2 or 1942.
Is there any bonus to helping the DB like more requests per month? I like to tinker with my system about as much if not more than I play so there have been a few times I have had to start from scratch and would not like to do the screenscraper run again and with this site it would take me close to a year to get all my scrapes done (1k per month * 11k roms) . I know I know backups work wonders just sometimes I try something and don't want to stop to backup and next thing you know...
Is there an easy way (or less than easy way with curl or something) to get a list of games that need screenshots filtered by system. Say I feel like playing some n64. Is there a way to get a list of titles for the n64 that need some screenshots?
