Hi
Could ya help out Banjo-Kazooie Wiki or Donkey Kong Wiki? Squirreldroid 11:14, 29 December 2011 (EST)
 * Hmmm, this message looks familiar... anyway, first of all, I've been much busier than I used to be years ago, so I have very little time to contribute to wikis like these (except for once in a while, as you most likely saw), or do much else on the Internet in general. I also get increasingly busy as time goes on, so it will be even harder for me to find time to do these kinds of things.
 * Second, ever since November 2010, I've hated Wikia and never turned back. The skin that Wikia crapped out and rushed turned away a lot of users, including me, with its very confusing navigation (half the time it takes me a minute just to find the search bar!), its excessive ads that take up half the page, its consequent lack of room for actual content that matters, and its ugly look in general. Wikia has shown that it doesn't care about users, it just cares about money from their ads. There are better alternatives, including:  I know that the first one isn't wholly focused on Banjo-Kazooie, but it still is a good wiki for it, and I'd rather use those than any Wikia wiki.
 * So, sorry, as much as I'd like to help out, I can't really do it... -- Blaz iken  257  13:15, 29 December 2011 (EST)
 * There is a Monobook skin option via preferences. Squirreldroid 15:42, 29 December 2011 (EST)
 * Oh. Try editing The RWPWiki. Its fun. Link: . Squirreldroid 19:38, 30 December 2011 (EST)
 * 1. Even when changing the skin, most of the wikis still look ugly (because they weren't designed for Monobook).
 * 2. I'll probably edit RWPWiki one day, when I have more time to. -- Blaz iken  257  19:22, 1 January 2012 (EST)

Question
Can you please tell me some websites with a lot of Donkey Kong Land information/images? Also, on Photobucket, I see many DKL series images come from it. How can I access your page having all those DKL photos?

P.S. where do you get all these Donkey Kong Land III images/sprites? Squirreldroid 18:48, 1 January 2012 (EST)
 * I don't really know a lot of good sites with DKL information/images; for starters, you can go to Super Mario Wiki, Donkey Kong Wiki, or a few other sites like GameFAQs or DKC Atlas. I generally rip images myself using an emulator, mainly VisualBoyAdvance (which is also how I get the images/sprites that you were asking about). I had the Photobucket images private, but I set them to public just now, you can see them:  There really isn't much there at all though, because I haven't used Photobucket in ages. -- Blaz  iken  257  19:22, 1 January 2012 (EST)


 * Another question: How do I take screenshots via VisualBoyAdvance? Squirreldroid 19:48, 1 January 2012 (EST)
 * Just hit F12, or go to File -> Screen capture... (note: depending on the version you're using, it might be Tools -> Screen capture...). -- Blaz iken  257  19:59, 1 January 2012 (EST)


 * Final question: How do I jump in the DKC/DKL emulator games? I a struggling with that... Squirreldroid 20:36, 1 January 2012 (EST)
 * Press whatever is assigned to the A button. If you don't know what key that is, go to Input -> Set -> Config 1... and look at the key assignments there (you can also change them on this screen). Chances are that it's the Z or X key, though. -- Blaz iken  257  20:41, 1 January 2012 (EST)
 * I am using VisualBoyAdvance. I don't see an input. Squirreldroid 20:45, 1 January 2012 (EST)
 * Sorry, all of that should be under Options. -- Blaz iken  257  20:53, 1 January 2012 (EST)


 * I am sorry for bothering you again, but I really want to know how to take a screenshot of only the sprite on the Visual Boy Advance E.G. like that Bear sprite you just took. I know that I said that the previous question would be the last, but I am urgently wanting to know how to take a screenshot of only a sprite like you did with the Bear sprite yesterday. Thanks.

P.S. I recently uploaded many Game Boy Color photos here. If you want to use the photos, be my guest. You can find them on the Donkey Kong Country, Jungle Hijinxs and the Ropey Rampage articles so far. Thanks for telling me about this Virtual Boy Advance thing. Now it is giving me screenshot success.

P.P.S. Wanna be friends? Squirreldroid 12:30, 2 January 2012 (EST)
 * To get just sprites, press Ctrl+1 (if you're using VBA) to remove the background layer, so that only sprites appear. You can then take the sprites, then use an image editing program such as Photoshop or GIMP to crop the image and make the image transparent. Then press Ctrl+1 again to make the background layer visible again.
 * As for the photos, I'll use them eventually when I need to. Thanks. -- Blaz iken  257  13:06, 2 January 2012 (EST)
 * You are also free to use the SNES, GBA and the other DKC/DKL images I uploaded. Is Donkey Kong Land III your first game you got? Mine is Conker's Pocket Tales. Squirreldroid 13:09, 2 January 2012 (EST)

SNES Emulator questions...
I recently got SNES9XW and how do I take screenshots on it? It isn't simple like VIsualBoy Advance. Squirreldroid 17:53, 2 January 2012 (EST)
 * File -> Save Other -> Save Screenshot --BMF54123 18:10, 2 January 2012 (EST)
 * I don't see a Save other" thing on the SNES9XW of FIle..... Squirreldroid 18:17, 2 January 2012 (EST)
 * What version of Snes9x are you running? It's there in the latest one (1.53). If you're running an old version, I can't help you. --BMF54123 18:20, 2 January 2012 (EST)
 * Darn. I have 1.43. Anyways, I don't need to reload another version (doesn't work...) Its ok. I have Visual Boy Advance and its enough to work. Squirreldroid 18:42, 2 January 2012 (EST)

I need some help...
See, I recently downloaded your color hack DKL3 GBC thing and I was wondering how to run it... When I try usiung Visual Boy Advance to run it, it won't, due to it being a .ips file. When I convert it to .gbc, it still doesn't work. P.S. can you tell me where to find hundreds of Donkey Kong Land III screenshots? Thanks. Squirreldroid 17:07, 29 January 2012 (EST)

DKL3 Patch
Hey, I really don't mind having a link to your patch in the article. I was kinda interested in trying it out myself. If you personally don't want it re-added, though, I understand. BMF54123 16:46, 24 October 2012 (EDT)
 * I don't mind having the link there either. I removed it because I thought it would be a problem, but as long as it doesn't break any rules, then it's fine if it's added back. And I'm glad you're interested in the patch! -- Blaz iken  257  13:53, 25 October 2012 (EDT)
