Alright, here's my current situation with handling official DDR simfiles as moderator on Zenius-I-vanisher... There needs to be an overhaul.

Right now, I've been handling various graphic updates for DDR A, A20, and A20 PLUS with new generic background concepts and adding newly created custom graphics made by other members. So far, they're looking solid.

The main issue right now is that the simfile categories from arcade mixes DDR 2014 and back are already out of date and style, with the following problems:

• Jackets are still 256x256 instead of 512x512
• Custom banners for X2-2014 need to be overhauled from 256x80 to 512x160
• Assorted subpar custom backgrounds from SN onwards need to be updated or replaced with new generic backgrounds
• Category banners need to be updated to match the current format found in A-A20 PLUS
• Background videos for X2 & X3 (as well as various EXTREME 2 videos) need to be included with individual files instead of having external downloads
• Various artist/title transliterations need to be fixed
• Background video syncs need to be checked over
• etc. and etc...

I've made a list of graphics that need to be updated in the Official Simfile To-Do List thread that I am periodically updating. Check it out here.

If anyone wants to help out with this overhaul project, contact me, and I can cue in other members who are involved with handling content for official DDR simfiles.
