    A Demo Question

    Usually, how long of a game do I need to make to be able to enter it as a suitable Demo version?

    I don't think there are any set parameters as to how long a demo can be or should be, as long as it gives a good preview of your game. Obviously, you don't want to make it too long or too short, though.

    There was an old RPG Maker 1 game, Viv's Quest, that was a few minutes long.

      So like, maybe half an hour to an hour would be good?
      By the way, what do I need to upload my game to the computer again?

        That length is fine.

        If you're using an RPGM1 game, you'll need a dexdrive to copy the files off of your PS1 memory card onto your computer. Then email the .gme as a file to the pavilion.

        If you're using any of the PS2 makers, you'll need either a shark port or a dex drive (preferred I think) to copy the file from your memory card onto your PC (.max extension for Dex Drives) and then email that in as an attachment to the Pavilion.

          Ok. Any idea how much either of those would cost?(I'm using RPGM3)

            Sharkport-

            I'd scout around for better prices on the Max Drive. I remember getting mine for $20 at Gamestop when they had been out for awhile (around 2/05). It's a shame that you have to get the little cheap usb drive and can't settle for getting the software exclusively, since you can really use any USB flash drive. It's just the interface software (for the ps2, the PC disc is pointless) that you really need.

            And I have no idea on the details of the Sharkport.

                You dont e-mail anything to the pavilion though. we have a submission forum that will handle the uploading process on it's own.

                  Sorry, I was thinking about the olden days.
