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!

As mentioned by others:
1) NDS game screens (like in offline list)
2) Listing of nds howebrew with screens; either link to the author page or host here
3) overview of settings to patch nds roms on the various cards, probably a b*tch to maintain but searchig the answer in the game topic is often chaotic
4) rating system for nds games

Okay HugeCock , you idea is pretty stupid , im sorry for not being 18 and + but i think that i don't act like a stupid kid , and i know a lot of people here who are bellow 18 and act like civilized humans.

So then i think we should also ban people with some stupid and ''mature'' name like yours , wow hugecock , here a glass of grog for your ''matureness''

Oh and i second the homebrew database , and the rating system for DS games.

How bout make the board 18 and up? Charge .1 to make members prove they are really 18 and up. (You need to be 18 to have a CC I believe) lol I can dream can't I?

hey hey hey!!! > I'm not +18, but I'm kool with the forums............ I just like tacos...

 

[Akoji]

honestly i think that you should start making usefull post and stop posting about tacos , could bring you some Warn % , Costello already said that wasn't in the Test board and that he wanted some usefull post.

 

[juggernaut911]

im just saying the 18+ rule will screw over the community...

Just a thought; wouldn't hosting homebrew downloads here either
a) Piss off the developers, or
b) Be a nightmare to keep up-to-date as apps are revised?
Maybe I've misunderstood the suggestion, but maybe it'd be better to have the database contain just a list of homebrew apps, a description of what they do and with links to the developer's sites (meaning the downloads would be done from those sites, not directly from GBATemp and hence keeping all readmes / useful info in the same place too)

 

[Verocity]

That would be nice too, but sometimes the developers site, are either really slow, or links are broken ion some cases, so we would have to mirror them, they'll probley have to 'hire' a seperate member to keep up with the Homebrew section if we are going to have one.

I just hope they do my works on idea with the different flash carts, and people can select if the game works on theirs, that would be an ideal thing and you wouldn't have to maintain it as much as a database.

 

[juggernaut911]

thats why I'm thinking only keep track of the best of each kind of topic. like heres what I was thinkin:


[ROM Trimmers] - 4 matches found! (< where "ROM Trimmers" is a search box/dropbox or something

 

[sonicstorm]

Make something like My GBAtemp, thats completely customizable. For example only seeing posts from sections you want to see in the homepage, just nds releases rather than GBA and, "fake" Wii releases.

 

[Julee]

what GBAtemp needs is more girls. I would blame the guys here for never letting their ladies on but..who are we kidding, you guys dont have girlfriends

Nah, the sites fine as is. Newsletter could be cool, and the homebrew section aint a bad idea.

 

[juggernaut911]

hay hay hay! girls just dont find me appealing...

who am I kidding, you girls probably dont have boyfriends, and if you do, their not really boys.

I second that newzletter!

 

[Deleted_11405]

lol just what i wanted to see: the chick of my life ¿ yeah just as much gba/nds related from a till z

 

[juggernaut911]

when will these be taking affect?

 

[plasmatron]

Have the new releaseinfos, before other sites have em. GBAtemp is sometimes 2 days behind, with the new stuff.

Solution: Ask the developers and if they don't answer/don't want it, only put a link to their page (which should be included if there is a download from GBAtemp, too). Of course I haven't got a solution for the workload problem...

 

[ronin_in_tears]

Been composing alot the last few months, so a music comp with a retrospective touch or theme.
Nintendo vs. Commodore, Old vs. New etc. that've made me stay a while for sure.

 

[THeLL]

This is something that would definately attract some extra visitors (It was something I was seriously thinking to build a website on, just like I did with videos at www.kitvids.dl.am) : Post the settings to play a NDS rom on a certain flash card , like G6Lite: R/W, trim rom etc.. Now I always have to look up the release (takes a bit of time because you can't search very easily), and then I have to scroll through all the pages to search for someone that posted the G6 Lite settings (IF someone did!).

It's still faster than trying out myself with all the roms I put on my G6 Lite, but Gbatemp could be a real help here!

 

[Da-Huntha]

How about fixing it so we can start at the FIRST comment (or post) on a DS or GBA game (thus it's topic) instead the last when clicking "READ". Or combine with like "Read first - Read last".

 

[TheGreat2nd]

More homebrew news, more homebrew stuff, like apps and coding blah blah.
Aaaand...more DS tournaments with Wi-Fi, and possibly Wii incorporation.

 

[Cutman]

How about giving each member an allowance of 10 exclamation points and 5 emoticons per day?

I don't really post much here, but I gotta say, this is the best rule I've heard so far.
