Newbie to Mobygames here. I am looking to add credits to a game which has no credits listed on the site, but there are a few snags I've hit that I can't find good answers for.

The game I am contributing credits for is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5: Expert 1/Yu-Gi-Oh! Eternal Duelist Soul for GBA. Eternal Duelist Soul (EDS) is a remake of the JPN exclusive Duel Monsters 5 Expert 1 (DM5E1). The games share an entry on this site, but only DM5E1 had an in-game credit roll. As such, the credits are largely in Japanese, and I was unsure whether to only include the developers' credited names in Japanese, or if I should include the romanized names as well/instead.

Lastly, I saved a video of the credits roll, but I see that I can only upload 4 image files as sources in the credit wizard. Is there a way to upload a video file or more than 4 images? I cut the credits roll into 16 image files with all the credits but that seems like a bit much.

Thank you for the help. Looking forward to contributing!

I believe we use the romanized names primarily, with the Japanese spellings in parantheses.

You can package the image files in a .zip file, then upload that.

I tried to upload a zip file containing the png images of the in-game credits but I received a 500 Internal Server Error. I have tried again a few times in the days since but I still receive the same error message.

The maximum filesize is 20MB per upload, so that might be a cause.

It works to split it into a few .zip's and upload them one by one.

PNGs tend to be big. Just try JPGs, maybe even with a lower quality if needed. After all, just need to be able to read the names.

I converted the png's to jpg's and it uploaded just fine. Ty for the help.
