ZSNES One-time User Reminder

This needs to be rewritten, due to having html docs. Additionally, I'm not even sure what the "important reminder" is.

Either change that screen to "Read the docs, biznitch" or get rid of it.

A reminder like that would get my vote.

There're still the issues that this message is quite offensive and that I shouldn't talk personally to users as if I was the one who coded the whole thing...

Well, maybe it could be worded a little better, but without the original meaning getting lost in the process.

The current format is:

1 line
- 1 empty space (automatic)
6 lines
- 1 empty space (automatic)
1 line

Each line can hold 25 characters. The ' symbol can be used (thanks ipher). The first line should be a title and the last should remain as is.
Which leaves 150 letters for the message itself.
If it doesn't fit, I'll have to resize the box... which is feasable. I can see what to modify.

Oh yeah, I can also change the place and number of white spaces.

Brainstorming session... start !

I never liked the press Z thing , but I never do that now since I never had to start fresh since like 02...

Tho I was sorta pissed when I was using a comp where the kayboard was busted and I couldnt use zsnes...

We should change it to press any key to continue.

ReRuss · Post by **ReRuss** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 3:05 pm

Press any key/Click to continue...

I guess it could have joypad too..?

Post by **grinvader** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 4:17 pm

Currently:

Should I change it to 'any key' ?

Post by **Agozer** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 4:25 pm

Who knows, maybe 'any key' is too vague for some n00bs...

For some reason it looks strange, centered like that.

Probably because I'm expecting each line to be a complete sentence.

Brainstorming Idea:

Code: Select all

First-Time User Reminder:

If you have any questions
or problems that concern
this program, please first
consult the documentation
for useful FAQs and info.

Press Z to continue.

Of course, for the title, we could also use "One-time user reminder", "User reminder for first use" or whatever.

We want them to read the documentation even if they don't have a problem.

No, space is good.

Centered lines looks pretty nice.
