Updating the image

If possible, I will try to get a better quality version of this image using my capture card to record gameplay and take a still image of the scene. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shukaku (talk • contribs) 18:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't think that's necessary, as we now have people who can take screenshots in PCSX2 (don't we?). Also, you are advised to sign each edit to a talk page with four tildes (these things → ~). —Spiraldoor 18:47, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

A high definition snapshot from an emulator would be welcome indeed. — 19:24, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I'll spend 5 minutes tomorrow to take a screenshot. --Haruka 21:34, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I know about that Spiraldoor, I completely forgot to do it. I'm also curious as to why it is not necessary: the original image from the actual game CD is better than an image from an emulated version imo. Shukaku 11:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

What device do you use to get snapshots from the actual game? — 13:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. A screenshot from an emulator can look exactly like a screenshot from a console – or much better, depending on your system and settings. For example, I have no problem with Rayman 2 screenshots which are at a higher resolution than the original release, or make use of anti-aliasing or similar graphical improvements. —Spiraldoor 15:04, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Not to mention that the device used to capture snapshots is very likely to lower the quality of the original image (hence my question above). — 15:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I use a Dazzle DVC100 Capture Card, with the Sharpness up at full blast, the quality is excellent with it: a lot better than an emulator imo. Also, unless you actually own the game your emulating, it would be illegal to use an emulator. Shukaku 15:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it's actually possible for a capture card to improve the quality of a screenshot. Most of the images we capture with emulators are a perfect representation of the game (see all OK-rated Rayman 1 screenshots), and in some cases are even clearer and crisper (see some emulated Rayman 2 screenshots). Perhaps you should post some images taken with your capture card so that we can compare them with emulated screenshots first-hand. As for the legality of emulation, nothing could be more irrelevant; it's an invaluable tool for us and there's nothing to stop us from using it. —Spiraldoor 15:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
