    Is there a ranking or rating only will the day that the winner will be revealed?

    If it were not Jazzmarazz I never knew that competition.

    Hey MasJ, I have been looking for a while now, so that is why I've decided to ask here... So how can I upload a game to the website? I have read that helps on the draw of the 3Ds as well. Thank you

    Upload it to your preferred upload service (megaupload, rapidshare...) and then open a new thread in the Upload Services subforum to post the links coded (not clickable). Every 100MB uploaded will get you 2 entries for the draw

    Meh, I've just lost 5 entries then...

    Well, I'm still doing the reviews, and I'll try to post screens asap.
    Even tho it's the fastest way to rank up points, it's not THAT easy to get the points that way...

    Also, if there were ways to upload reviews AND screenies for games on PSX, PS2, GameCube and newer platforms with games also available in the forums, I'd certainly be able to get a few extra ones :B

    Thank you for your reply. I was confused for I read on the instructions that any uploaded games up to 100 MB will get 2 entries, it made me think that there was a way to upload the games straight here, since the uploading services links are not bigger than bytes. Anyway, if I upload the link into "gaming- iso roms- miscellaneous links- would that be an ok entry too?
    Thanks again

    Yes, it would, but no warez, PC games that are not abandonware are not allowed.

    Please just keep track of your own entries, guys. It's time consuming enough for the staff to make sure everyone's uploads are being listed and for the admins to approve submissions to the main site by hand. The math is easy, just make a note of what you're uploading, and check back later to see if any screenshots or descriptions have been approved.

    Personally, I'm not accepting any picture that's already marked.

    Well so far, I have 162 entries.

    Will continue to submit to increase my chances of winning!

    Happy 11th birthday Emuparadise, you've been my number 1 destination for 'all things emulation' for about the past five years. An amazing community Well done!

    I'm interested in the competition that's being run for the 3DS, very cool, just think of emuparadise filling up with all that information! But there's something that I think needs to be sorted out.

    To reiterate what Nakanakajo stated on page 8 of this thread, a few of us are a little disappointed that a fellow user 'Pontinho' has only reverted back to the high-school strategy of copy & pasting other peoples comments. I've noticed his writing style alternates considerably between professional english (strong use of punctuation and grammar) and suddenly falling back to slang terms in considerable use (yay/cool/boring/etc.) But more importantly the reason he has been able to write reviews effortlessly, is because this isn't his language and aren't his own reviews. I'd hate to complain but it doesn't exactly show equal fairness when generally all the reviews are stolen from elseware. As Nakanakajo found, Pontinho would fuse portions of professional gaming reviews and comments accompanying reviews to create a quick one-minute effort:

    For Mortal Kombat Deception (The name suits the situation well) Ponti wrote: "This game is almost perfect: the addition of "breaker" system, "death traps", 2 fatalities and 1 Hara Kiri per character and interactive arenas makes fighting more strategic, realistic and fun. Chess and Puzzle kombat modes are nice surprises. The only big mistake of the game is the Konquest Mode." The only part he didn't steal as you can see from this link here: http://www.metacritic.org/games/plat...ombatdeception is the final words "despite this flaw, the game is GREAT!"

    As well as Naka's examples on page 8, just about every review of Ponti's I have read constitutes he's delved into professional reviews and copied/pasted, here is an example where he has grabbed half the official IGN review of Digimon Rumble Arena 2, IGN wrote: "Smash Bros. enthusiasts will detest this one for it's failure to paint Nintendo mainstays all over its title. It also doesn't offer the maddening kind of simplistic complexity only Melee can. But, this isn't to seriously discredit the game, or Bandai..." Ponti grabbed the review up until "Melee can" (I'll provide links as evidence below) The first portion of Ponti's Rumble Arena also features a direct piece pulled from the closing comments of the IGN review: "There's a certain degree of likeability about Rumble Arena 2. It has a charm all its own - a kind of clumsy quirkiness wrought with effort and clouded in branding"

    There are so many examples of this user stealing other reviews, I'll have to list as many as I can find, here they are first links are the stolen reviews for emuparadise, second are the original reviews, many of these are word for word, some with words substituted:

    http://www.emuparadise.org/Nintendo_...oPhobia)/49612
    is stolen from: http://au.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/pokemo...04539&mode=all

    is stolen from: http://www.metacritic.com/game/ninte...e&num_items=30

    http://www.emuparadise.org/Nintendo_...64_(USA)/39711
    (He can't even have the decency to write one line of originality)
    is stolen from: http://metacritic.org/games/platforms/n64/donkeykong64

    Alright, I'm sorry I had to post this, but it just doesn't seem right to everyone else who has worked hard on their reviews, to actually be their own opinions. I feel I was speaking on behalf of everyone. Thanks again for baring with me, I couldn't find a spoiler button.

    Happy 11th Birthday Emuparadise!
