Submit
I want to submit! What do I have to do?
  1. Go to the forums and register an account.
  2. Go to the Submit board.
  3. Make a topic like "My rips" and include links to your submission, as well as relevant information.
  4. That's it! If it's good it'll be put it up on the site as soon as possible. Isn't life great?
But what can I submit?
  1. Sprites
  2. Backgrounds
  3. Sounds
  4. Custom or Edited sprites
  5. Tutorials
Any rules?
  1. Nothing stolen. Submissions must be your own work. If you're submitting rips, they must be rips you ripped yourself. Likewise, Customs, Edits, and Tutorial submissions must be your own work. Finally, don't pose as someone and submit their work. It sounds absurd but it's happened and it caused some problems.

  2. Submit through the forums. In other words, don't send submissions by email. Submitting through the forums helps improve quality control and also ensures that stolen stuff doesn't get through.

  3. Submissions must be at the proper resolution. Wondering what this means? It means that any graphical submissions must be at the original resolution they were ripped from. Here's an example of this. The sprite on the left is small and pixellated; the ones on the right are resized and distorted.

  4. Use proper file formats.
    • Sprites should be .gif or .png images. PNG is generally the best image format you can use, and even MSPaint can make them.
    • Backgrounds should also be .gif or .png images. If a submission includes several gif or png files, you may put them in a .zip or .rar archive if you wish. Another option is to simply place several BG's on one sheet.
    • Sounds should be in a common format such as .wav or .mp3, but other formats such as .wma will usually be taken. If Winamp doesn't play it, it's no good. As with BG's, you may want to use a .zip or .rar archive.

  5. Aim for completion. If you try to submit a sheet with 20% of a character's frames, it'll be a problem. If you manage to get 90%, you'll probably be ok.

  6. Label your submission. This one is easy. When you submit something, just mention what it is, what game it's from, and what system. The more accurate you are, the better.
