Kyoji missed out on the fact (although maybe in his taste he did it on purpose) that serifs do not look good for computer material and shall only be used for printouts.
other than that i thought most entries lacked a certain style or were too colorful, too dark, too bright, too simple.
take a look at yaxay.com for example. that is good design, my friends.

I like Serif's alot o.0
They are actually very effective in design if used right...and I'm well aware that mine arent exactly used right, but i couldnt find a good font..
*shrugs*
Besides, since when are we just judging on banners here? Its a skin contest.. not a banner contest.

If its a skin contest, then why did you make a banner??

But honestly, a awesome skin could look like crap if you just throw in a crappy banner. The skin and banner need to complement each other, or atleast look good together.
I could say the same about your mom and me

ohhhhhhhhh

That's bold words for only 3.23% vote.
ohhhhhhhh

Ok ok. I'll give you some credit for entering Kyoji. Would you like a cookie if you hit 5% before the contest is over?

Btw sympathy votes do not count!

Er uh.whatever.
What is it with you? I didnt even say anything to you, yet here you are attempting to personally attack me.
If I've done anything to offend, I'm deeply sorry.

I didn't even get to see your reply. Oh well.

I'd like to see Squiffy's design win. Though bojzi design is very good too.

As of now they're neck and neck.

Good luck to the both of you!

6 days left. Make the right choice people

The clear winner is Kyoji. Why do the votes not agree?
frown.gif

That's because the clear winner is Opium, why do the votes not agree with that? I like his the best, perhaps it would be better though if he changed the banner around a bit, and simplified those fat lines and buttons, and a nicer font would go a long way too.

Perhaps I should have entered the contest, after all, I did take digital design at school.

Kyoji's and Squiffy's skins are alright, but they're definitely not better than what we have now. Besides that, none of the banners posted are very interesting, sorry fellas.

Oh, and before anyone starts yelling "why didn't you do it yourself, then"; I would have but school is keeping me so fucking busy I haven't even had the time to completely design a tattoo for my cousin even though he asked me about two months ago.

::EDIT::

Kyoji missed out on the fact (although maybe in his taste he did it on purpose) that serifs do not look good for computer material and shall only be used for printouts.That's a huge generalization, just look at Kyoji's sig for example, the serif fonts are very much in place there.

I agree with you on the first part, but yaxay.com isn't an example of good design - it's an example of trendwhoreism from back in 2002. These days, the "3D-lookalike-but-actually-very-2D"-looks are kind of outdated (especially with all of those unnecessary details & unless done right like @IGN.com). That, and they take way too long to load, especially on a forum.[/opinion]

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
