Submission Guidelines
Last Updated: June 15, 2025
Submitting to the Resource sites can be tricky if you aren’t well versed in our standards. Please make sure you read through these guidelines to avoid mistakes which may cost you more time than will be spent reading them!
This page has guidelines relevant to all sections of our Network. For guidelines of a specific site, please review the following links:
The Spriters Resource / The Models Resource / The Textures Resource / The Sounds Resource
Before Uploading
• Search to make sure your submission isn’t already on the site.
• Submit to the correct game and section.
• Only upload your own rips. We DO NOT ACCEPT RIPS YOU DIDN'T CREATE. Doing so will result in your account being suspended.
• No fan-made or original characters – official game content only!
Quality Standards
• Only clean, unedited rips.
• Make sure you're uploading an accepted file format.
• Organize and name files clearly.
• Avoid partial or incomplete submissions unless appropriate.
What Is Acceptable?
✔️ Characters, enemies, objects, backgrounds, UI elements and effects from official games.
✔️ HUD graphics or fonts.
✔️ Sound effects, dialogue, general audio effects.
❌ Fan-made characters.
❌ Unedited screenshots.
❌ Random or disorganized data dumps.
❌ Rips from extremely small, unrecognized games.
❌ Music rips.
❌ Cutscene dialogue.
❌ "Everything" submissions.
Site staff will judge if a game is recognizable enough to be accepted. We only accept rips from commercially released or notable games. We only accept custom content that appears within a game, or game related media, such as characters from Sonic the Hedgehog comics, cartoons, etc.
File Formats
• PNG images, GIF animated icons, ZIP archive files.
• Images should remain unedited, at their original scale, without compression.
• ZIP archives should be arranged logically.
• .OBJ and .DAE model formats. One of these formats is required. Additional formats optional.
• .WAV audio. If audio is stored as MP3 or OGG before conversion, these are acceptable as-is.
How do I upload content to the site?
You can upload a new asset from the site from the Add Asset page!
• Register an account, or log in. Make sure your account is verified with a valid email address.
• Browse to the relevant page (Console, or Game) and click "Add Asset". You can add new games this way.
• Fill in all of the required details
• Click submit to enter your submission into the queue.
Adding a New Game
You can add a new game to the site from the Add Asset page.
• Make sure the game isn't already in our database.
• Please try to include a 240px x 125px icon in .PNG format.
• The icon should decently represent the game, with a clean screenshot. Avoid stretched or compressed images where possible.
• Don't use the game's title screen. Try to make it interesting - some sort of action taking place works great!
• Try to frame your screenshot nicely. Where possible, avoid the HUD or menu images in your icon.
• Avoid spoilers! (A final boss or a plot twist, for example)
• What makes this game unique - what sets it apart from other games? For example, Tails debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. A good Sonic 2 icon should include him.
• Vary screenshots within a series. Just because Mega Man shoots doesn't mean he has to be in the same shooting position in every icon.
How do I rip content?
While we focus on content extracted from games, we aren't a complete source for information on how to do so. While we have some information that may assist you on our Wiki, it may not cover the specific game you want. We suggest joining our Discord community to ask for information (be sure to ask in the correct channel) but you may be best looking at many different sources.
How do I create an icon for my submission?
There are several different types of icon across our network. All icons should be in PNG format.
• Game Icons should be 248px x 125px.
• Submission Icons should be 148px x 125px.
• Large Preview Icons (only on Models Resource) should be 750px x 650px.
You can use The Icon Creation Tool within Dazz's tools collection to create game or submission icons. Otherwise, standard image editing software works fine.
Why is my pending submission taking so long?
We verify our submissions for authenticity. A member of staff must review your submission to deem it acceptable. There are several reasons why this may be delayed - verifying all information (Name, capitalization, icons, tags, etc.) while also making sure the submission follows our quality standards. Please be aware that we don't always approve submissions by submission date, as we will make efforts to reduce the queue size as a priority - this means large contributions to the same game will likely be processed quicker, for example.
