Can we upload gameplay videos?

Screenshots and comments can get a little dull, can we have gameplay videos too?

I would imagine that your best bet would be to upload the videos to youtube or mediafire, then link them from here. Otherwise, the videos would be taking up valuable server space; slowing down everything for everyone.

No. We can easily handle the technical aspect of this. But it was never really attractive as it's difficult to record game play and most emulators were rather poor when this was last brought up internally.

I see... Can this be done for the NES and a few of the other easy to emulate systems?

Ohhh! Well if the site was going to, I don't know, say get rid of nearly every NDS rom from its servers, then it should be even easier to host video content. Not to say it would be difficult in the first place, I am merely suggesting if the ESA were to somehow magically free up a few hundred gigs of space from your servers, then hosting videos would be even more possible!

I believe youtube will be the ones hosting the videos.

disk space is not an issue at all. We have about 10TB on each server.

omg....

10TB on "each"?!? Holy mackerel! How many servers does RomU work off of?

2 download servers, a database server, 2 html servers and a mailserver.

a decent gameplay video would be nice, as long as its not just the best part of the game, just some normal gameplay.
a video tells you a lot more than 4 screenshots but i think people would upload cutscenes and stuff

1 HTML server, there is a backup server but it is not in use.
