What do YOU want to see on GBAtemp?

[Opium]

We're now on the verge of another year and GBAtemp has had quite a few changes this year to make the whole experience a lot better for you guys. But we can't stop there. We want to make GBAtemp the best place it can possibly be. The GBAtemp staff would like to hear just exactly what YOU want from GBAtemp in 2007.

What can we improve? What features would you like? What are we doing well?

eg: I would like more news about homebrew games on the portal.

We can't make any promises on the suggestions you come up with, but we do genuinely want to hear what the community at large would like to see for a better GBAtemp. So fire away with those suggestions!

A homebrew database (with downloads) would be cool...

Or even better.. the releases downloadable! This is the only thing that was better in the old old gbatemp

Are you on a sugar high? You need to settle down before you break something.

just pass the taco and no one will get hurt/eaten...

(PS: Taco stand, not gonna happen!)

Yeah huh! just believe in magic and go buy one...

i want to see more pokemon related nudity

arent they naked already? thats why officer Jenny is always seen... she's charging them for streking!!!

We've already started discussing some of the ideas and there looks to be a few winners in there

We've got some great ideas cooking that we can't wait to share.

u mean the tacos...... right?

I'd just suggest changing the name from GBATemp to something that covers all the systems we chat about here. I love the name but it doesn't represent well anymore. (Just a suggestion)

hek no man, i think a site changing their rad name wont be rad ne more... it'll be... un-rad!!!

first and foremost i want to see a gbatemp calender with extremely hawt girls posing with the nds and flashcarts. considering that no hawt girls would ever do such, this is where your photoshop magic comes into play.

I'm with that guy /\ /\ /\

i like the posts by verocity on how to use the homebrew, guides etc, and a nds rating thing

.....oh and cake...i love cake

SKREW CAKE!!!!!!!!! TACOS 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm, let me see...

GBAtemp's name is OK...
DSlite/Wii graphic style is good...
Download section for homebrews is needed...
Emulator news is missing...
Tournaments should be good, not obliged thing...
Release list must improve with search and filter functions...
Friend codes in a open/close window...
Google Map-a-like function to see where members are from...

 

[Verocity]

Here's an example following the idea in my post about the Flash Carts Compatability. I think this could be done. I did a little photoshopping, but I really like it, it would be very useful. It could be very similar to this. Like as for voting you may have to click 'read' then vote, just however it works..heres the pic.

Good idea, but won´t it be too "crowded" on the DS side with all these new cards?

I should have changed RANKING to WORKS ON then people can select their card if it works, thats the idea. And I don't think it'll get crowded if it does we could hopefully make a seperate column. Or it may be on it its own column.

 

[Shinji]

I really like alot of these ideas, except for the cake one (traitor!!!)

I know its not an "improvement" per se, but the yaywii icon will definately be winner.

Another vote from me for Game of the Month, but that could turn tragic quick in a bad month (Barbie vs. strawberry shortcake...)

For the NDSArms/GOnline NDS release list thingy, all I can say is...dont rush the man, he's busy

I'll think of more things I would like to see later... tired

I think an event calander would be the best. That way we could know when things would be released, when tournaments where going to happen and things like that.

 

[juggernaut911]

ya and have release dates for Reviews and Flashcarts...

 

[faceless]

A homebrew database (with downloads) would be cool...

BINGO!

 

[gast]

Maybe it's just me.. but I find the overview on the main page a bit bad, it's just too crowded.
Perhaps the Users Online column could be removed and the Latest Discussion, Last 5 NDS and GBA Releases moved to the left side.
That would make it a bit easier on the eye I figure..
But maybe I'm just not used to the site navigation yet, each one to his own I guess.

I don't have a flash card for my NDS yet, but I figure once I do have one I would want a nice page for homebrew downloads.

Great reviews on the new flash cards though, they're very informative.
Just waiting for the reviews on the new Slot-1 stuff.

Keep it up!

 

[Shinji]

I just thought of something that would make things a whole lot easier, it was discussed in this thread
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=40707

But changing the way that the search works...I dont know the workings of it, but it was an issue apparently.

Also I came up with something else I would like to see. A hot tub, my room here at hotel GBATemp has had nothing but cold water for the past 2 months, who do I have to complain to to get service around here?! hehehe

 

[Bowser128]

I

GBATemp just the way it is, but if you're asking for suggestions, how about screen shots for DS releases? (I know there's no 100% emulator, but surely there's screens on IGN et al. that could be used)

More importantly though, there should be a section devoted to Mthrnite's photoshoppings

 

[juggernaut911]

Mthrnite makes me mad he wont tell me something!!!

[StingX]

And how many of us have flashcarts? Why can't we simply donate images to be edited into the releases? Its a great thing to have a screenshot of gameplay


if your interest in screenshots of roms try out offline list. it auto updates your release list with new roms and screenshots of them.

offline list?

 

[HugeCock]

Some of the stuff mentioned above as well as
User submitted saves
downloads for flash cart software

 

[legendofphil]

offline list?

Offlinelist is a rom renaming tool, there are many DATs for it. The GBA DAT comes with the program.

 

[Inu268]

the comments section could be linked to the actualy comments from the forum...at least it wouldn't show and empty space there, and there are some very useful information in the game comments...
but I would really want to see is the release of pirate battle on the front page T.T

 

[Opium]

Lots of good ideas

Thank you everyone for such a great response!

We've already started discussing backstage some of the best ideas you've come up with, we're all very excited about working on them

 

[AOforever1]

Homebrew Database and RSS feeds.
Everything else is great. Keep up the good work.
