User talk:Fifo

Hi! 😊

Hello! 🤗 I was finally able to join the wiki so I'm saying hi to my good friend Fifo. 👋 --#Rubber mark# (talk) 14:23, 13 November 2018 (CET)

PluM's user page

Hi Fifo! I'm not sure that moving PluM's user page to his correct username was necessarily a good thing, since it's now missing the side links such as user contributions, logs, etc. (those appear only on user pages with a valid name, and the valid name on the wiki is the canonical, ugly-looking version). In the future I would recommend consulting the owner of the page before making such changes, so maybe you can check with PluM that he's all right with it? — 13:45, 21 May 2019 (CEST)

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I’ll notify him about it.

Feel free to revert the move if needed.

PS1 screenshots

Hi my good friend Fifo! 🤗 I switched the screenshots back to "Image OK" because they don't look blurry to me, all I can see is that they're missing two pixels on the side but this doesn't seem to be a big deal. 😉 --#Rubber mark# (talk) 21:23, 27 December 2019 (CET)

The resolution doesn’t match 640x480/320x240 exactly – so it is a kinda big deal to me because it’s inconsistent.

I’m reverting the changes because:

1. the image is too blurry
2. the resolution is inconsistent (meaning thumbnails will be scaled/blurry)

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I checked the pictures in question, and while they're a couple pixels off, they don't look blurry to me. Can you please elaborate? — 22:52, 1 January 2020 (CET)

I thought Rayman 2 on PS1 is sharper than that. The screenshot looks like it was filtered, hence my confusion.
– Fifo (talk) 09:20, 3 January 2020 (CET)

The PS1 version of the game is actually 320x240, maybe that's where the confusion is coming from, and the odd resolution. -- 18:56, 3 January 2020 (CET)

Exactly what I was trying to point out.
– Fifo (talk) 23:01, 5 January 2020 (CET)

Well, every single PS1 screenshot here is 640×480, probably because this is the resolution output by PS1 emulators. When you say that the resolution is in fact 320×240, are you just talking about the native resolution or the game, or also about the output of the console itself? If both, then I assume it's the TV that does the rescaling? — 11:14, 6 January 2020 (CET)

Rayman 2 on PS1 is output in 320x240 yeah, I can confirm it with the OSSC, which I used to scale the picture on a modern TV. All other versions aside from PS1 can be 640x480. Chances are the PS1 images are just doubled in size, but the issue would be if they didn't use nearest neighbour and instead were filtered, in which case resizing them to half of their size would result in a loss of quality. -- 19:09, 7 January 2020 (CET)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're irrecoverable. We should make sure that the new PS1 screenshots from R2 are 320×240, but unless someone feels like replaying the whole game soon and replacing them all, let's not worry about marking the old ones as bad. At least, maybe we can replace the ones Fifo mentioned for a start. — 13:53, 9 January 2020 (CET)
