Sorry, but this one is not usable. It's too small, doesn't have the borders removed and the colors are wrong.--Tribun (talk) 13:22, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes. You are right. It seems that there went something wrong. (I uploaded the wrong one by accident.) I will try to get a better one from my game. Sorry about it. --Arthgon (talk) 14:18, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm not a C64 expert but isn't File:U64title.jpg what you actually see on the C64? Looks like this one has it's sides and bottom cropped and a border added to the top. -- Fenyx4 12:30, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Strange. I am using VICE. While it usually works, something must have gone wrong somehow and is using the wrong settings or something now. Anyone? --Arthgon (talk) 13:43, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Well, I can give some pointers:
-The picture should be double the original resolution and then cropped to 640x400, which is exactly double the original picture size without borders (which is 320x200).
-The colors are too pale and the whites and blues are bleeding together. Have you fiddled with them?
-If you're not American, turn the video standard to PAL-G.--Tribun (talk) 16:10, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Interesting. Two possibilities:
1) It revered back to the old and standard settings IF you quit VICE. (Last time I did all the screenshots of The Journal of the (mis)adventures of Arthgon the Avatar without quiting VICE) Strangely enough, I did save it.
2) Somehow I must have pressed a wrong button. Ooops. I also should really double-check it, before uploading the screenshots
Oh. Well. I will set the resolution to 640x400, turn the video standard to PAL-G and try again. Colors? What do you recommend?
Edit1: Are these the right colors? --Arthgon (talk) 19:08, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
The colors are right now, just the size is still not correct.--Tribun (talk) 11:43, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Okay. It should be 640x400, right? Okay. I will do that. I just wonder if they are not too bright. How are the new screenshots in The Journal of the (mis)adventures of Arthgon the Avatar? I always played the game on a REAL C64 with a black and white monitor. --Arthgon (talk) 12:23, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
The colors in the journal screenshots are actually too faded (sadly a common mistake made). I used a real C64 as well, and the bright colors, which not bleed together, are the correct ones.--Tribun (talk) 12:27, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, I always played it in black and white, so that is why I make such mistakes. I will make them just like the title screen. --Arthgon (talk) 12:30, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Edit:How's this? --Arthgon (talk) 13:01, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Colors and size are correct, but the centeriang isn't, but that's understandable, considering that most of the background is black, giving you little clue about it. I uploaded the correct centering on the file with this talk page.--Tribun (talk) 13:07, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

And now? Example3.PNG --Arthgon (talk) 13:16, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Ehm, please look at the picture this talk page is attached to to see what it should look like.--Tribun (talk) 13:17, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Like this?--Arthgon (talk) 13:46, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Very close now, just one pixel off (compare the upper edges).--Tribun (talk) 13:50, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Strange. IF I compare Example3.PNG and U64title.jpg it just look the same to me. --Arthgon (talk) 14:03, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
