Game Saves, maybe a new section?

[Amy]

I know I said somehting about it before, sorry for asking and wondering about it again, but do you all think this may be a good thing?

As anyone can see I am talking about certain 'name' codes to get my game saves and such 'perfect' in my eyes, but after that, you think maybe we should like GSCCC.com has maybe have a games saves section?

Also, I do mean more then just PSX saves, I mean well even into the next gen saves as well, though yeah the next gen systems are dying and will be dead within a year anyway mostly, but otherwise. I mean maybe sections to make well help us move ahead and not get totaly left by all the new stuff in the world. Not making fun, just well, I think this would be good, if okay, plus hey gives me soemthing to work on and do and also helps me share my saves and mess. (I always sorta wanted others to see my saves and see what all think and such)

As far as saves, I mean PSX saves ofcorse, DexDrive types (I know DexDrive is rare but still maybe some may like that?) and the 'new' saves transfered being from the PS2 save devices.

Not sure how or what files PS2 saves are called and what types of files they are, but they are and can be read by Flash Devices and memory cards, so was thinking also, I mean my save a different file type then Dex Drive but other wise all saves moved to a memory card can work.

So am talking about maybe saves from all types, PSX Dex files, PSX saves via whatever they are saved as from the PS2 and Flash Device cards.

PS2 saves

XBox saves via that XBox Action Replay which is an XBox DexDrive more or less.

GameCube saves, these seems I need a USB cord hooked to the memory card and PC at same time, and that is doible, once I get some extensions, as my TV and game systems are all the way across the room from my PC, but shall try that dirty kick in the butt GameShark (under MadCatz name) thingiy, works, but need both ends hooked into theire conenctions, the PC end a usb cable, and GC end the memory card hooked up.

So though I am still working on my saves and such, do you all think maybe this is an okay and doible thing?

Not tooting my own horn, really, but still, maybe it would be interesting to some sooner or later to play games with me, Amy in it as I said once? :P Or otehrwise a perfect Resident Evil save, PSX and GameCube and such as that. Sure would help me also, having my saves backed up and such. Just a thought and yes not going to happen tomarrow, right away, as I still got a few games to paly through, but otherwise, maybe for the future this is good, maybe?

Game Saves, maybe a new section?

It's an interesting idea. The only thing that comes to mind is that anything newer than psx/dreamcast, the saves get large fast. Most of the ps2 saves I've seen take up as much space as there is on an entire psx/dreamcast memory card. Of course, space might not be a problem. If it really comes down to it, I could just stash the files in the database...

Yes, you are right there, I mean it is nothing like downloading a movie file, or clip of several MBs big (for us dail upers, yeah we sytill know the pains of 'big file transfers') But not all that big most of them, maybe as big, well most sizes I seen they were like the sizes of 758 KBs, whihc 'is' kinda big, compared to PSX/PSOne memory card saves.

I look at the memory saves of my PSX games on a PS2 card now and go gahhhh how small they all are, 1 kb to maybe 4 kb some as big as a whopping 8 kb in size, being sarcastic, but really those saves are small, I do wonder how they were able to make them that small and hold so much info, like your character stats, your place, your items, and all that mess. :shock:

Anyway got all my PSX cards on one PS2 card with alot of room left over also anyway, all my PXS cards...16 of them....

Anyway, will think about it and by the time it all gets here maybe space will not be a big issue, as is the data base or such, as said, still got 'alot' of game work to do on the stuff, so it will not be tomarrow yet.
