## Info About This Wiki
### Angle Brackets
Throughout this guide, code blocks like `<Value>` are used. This means that "Value" should be replaced by something, and the "<>" should be deleted.
### yuzu Version
All data must be collected from the latest official yuzu releases, downloaded from [here](https://yuzu-emu.org/downloads/).
### Dates
All dates follow the format `<4-Digit Year>-<2-Digit Month>-<2-Digit Day>`. For example, June 3rd 2017 would be "2017-06-03".
### Screenshots
The recommended application for capturing the icon is [ShareX](https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX) while we recommend using the `Capture Screenshot` feature within yuzu itself for game screenshots. Screenshots can not be compressed, and must be in the PNG format.
## Code
The code consists of the actual files in the Github repisitory. To modify them, you have to fork this repo, make your changes, and send a pull request.
At the root, there's a folder for each game. The names of these folders should follow these specifications:
- Only use letters, numbers, and hyphens (No spaces!), because they will be linked to on the site.
- Names should be lowercase to ensure consistency.
- Have a wiki page with the same name.
### Icon
The icon for a game is located at `/<Game Name>/icon.png` (See: [Screenshots](#screenshots). The suggested process for getting one is:
- Make sure the game is in your yuzu game directory.
- Set the icon size to `Full Size (256x256)` in the yuzu Configuration.
- Take a screenshot of yuzu's library listing (See: [yuzu Version](#yuzu-version)).
- Crop out the game icon.
- The icon should be `256x256`.
### Game Screenshots
The screenshots for the game are located in `/<Game Name>/screenshots/` (See: [Screenshots](#screenshots)). Screenshots **must** have a resolution of `1280x720`.
Additionally, if a game has a rating of 3 or higher, **you must include at least 3 screenshots**, otherwise 1 screenshot is acceptable. The names of the screenshots don't matter.
### Savefiles
#### Save Metadata
The metadata for a save is located at `/<Game Name>/savefiles/<Save Name>.dat`. This is info about the save. The DAT values (See: [TOML](#toml)) are:
- `title` (String): The location of the save ingame.
- `description` (String): A brief explanation about the save.
- `author` (String): Your forum account name, if you have one. If you don't, don't include this line.
- `title_id` (String): Title ID of the game.
#### Save Data
The save data is located at `/<Game Name>/savefiles/<Save Name>.zip` (See: [yuzu Version](#yuzu-version)). To make a ZIP file, the process is:
- Make sure the game is in your yuzu game directory.
- Right click on the game and click `Open Save Data Location`. This should open a window prompting you to select the user.
- After selecting the user, you will be taken to the folder in which the save data is stored.
- Compress the files within the folder into a ZIP.
## Wiki
The wiki contains info about specific game problems, and can be modified by anyone. They use [Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) formatting.
Each page's title should match the game's respective folder in the code section, except with hyphens in the code changed to spaces on the wiki. **Don't use the following characters in your wiki page's titles: \ / : * ? " < > |.**
The format of each page is as follows:
- H2 header with text saying `Summary`.
- Brief summary of how the game performs: graphically, auditorily, and frame rate (with general hardware comparison - see MK7 example). See: [yuzu Version](#yuzu-version).
An example of a game wiki page is the one for [Pokemon: Let's Go](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu-games-wiki/wiki/pokemon-lets-go):
```markdown
Pokemon: Let's Go series currently experiences freezes called softlocks in yuzu.
This currently makes the game unplayable, but does not have major issues aside from the softlocks.
Pokemon: Let's Go goes ingame if you follow the instructions below:
* Dump a save. You can also use ones from the `Savefiles` section.
* Dump and use your NAND and keys from your console following our [quickstart guide](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/quickstart/).
* Choose the "Single Player - Handheld - Undocked" in `Emulation > Configure... > Input`
#### How to get past the controller selection screen
* In the Input Configuration tab, and choose the "Single Player - Handheld - Undocked" profile.
