Hey everyone! pellsson, threecreepio, and I are working on the 6.0 release of the excellent SMB practice ROM, and we're looking to expand the title screen so more than four faces can be included. This means that we will be able to include more top runners than just the top four. If you want to have your face included in the practice ROM, we ask that you submit a picture of your face in this thread to help streamline the process of including new faces. The picture you submit must have a width of 40 pixels, a height of 56 pixels, and use only four colors so that the picture is compatible with the practice ROM. Cropping your face and getting the correct resolution is best done in your imaging software of choice. To reduce the number of colors to four, I suggest you use the utility NESIFIER to do so. If you use NESIFIER, specify the palette to use as colors $30, $27, $17, and $0f, select "Floyd Steinberg" dithering and set the dithering level to 4 for the best results. The .BMP image format is preferable, but not required for the image you submit. Here is an example of the kind of image we are looking for: https://imgur.com/I8VQMs4

If you need help with cropping an image of your face to the right resolution or applying a four-color limit, you can feel free to reach out to me.

Adding to what simplistic said:

We just concluded that the current ambition is to do top 30 (this could change, likely decrease if so), where records we dont have faces for are simply omitted until there are 30 of them in the ROM :)

(I guess they dont strictly have to be faces if you want to be private?)

Looking forward to the new version! Any words on what else going to be added/updated in the next version?

We'll see how it turns out :) we don't want to commit to anything.

If you have specific features/bugfixes in mind that you would like to see they are of course very welcome. Either post them here or by submitting them at https://github.com/pellsson/smb/issues
