RH Wiki:Screenshot Guidelines: Difference between revisions

Nintendo DS screenshots are taken at 192x256 pixels for the individual screens, or 384x256 pixels for both screens. For ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', only the "top" screen is needed for [[Rhythm Game|rhythm games]]. Menus and other scenes which utilize both screens (not as simply an input for rhythm games) should include both. Also ensure that the game is set to Righty mode, unless specifically showcasing differences found in Lefty mode.<br>

Wii screenshots are taken at 834x456 pixels (829x456 for european games). It is recommended to use the latest version of [https://dolphin-emu.org/ Dolphin Emulator]. Some settings will need to be changed.<br>

For ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', only the top screen is needed for [[Rhythm Game|rhythm games]]. Menus and other scenes which utilize both screens (not simply showing the timing in rhythm games) should include both, with empty space in the bottom screen being taken up by transparency.<br>

Nintendo Switch screenshots are taken at 1280x720 pixels. Screenshots can be taken by pressing {{button|switch|capture}}. These images are saved as JPGs and '''must not be converted''' and must be tagged with <code><nowiki>{{Better Image Needed}}</nowiki></code> upon upload.<br>
