grabbing Screenshots

25 November 2001, 01:37

Anyone knows how to grab a screenshot under WinUae emulation (game, utility, whatever)?
thanks

I use a program called Clipmate for that. It expands my clipboard to... well I haven't bumped into the end yet. Then use print-screen and when I'm done I go to paintshop and crop the pictures and reduce them to 256 color gifs since they're usually not over 256 colors.

I find the easiest way to grab screenshots of any game is to run WinUae in a window mode then just press the PRINTSCREEN key when I want to take a screenshot.

I do this in a window mode as if you run on full screen some screenshots you take just come up as a black screen.

by the way, alt+printscreen grabs only the contents of the window

But of course if you have to take pictures ingame it might be a little hard to reach out and press ALT and prt-scr while the picture is still on screen.

When I capture a screenshot I personally paste it into Paint Shop Pro (it's the only technical painting program I'm familiar to as of now). But it seems the latest version, PSP 7, is complete crap when it comes to doing/making accurate screenshots.

Therefore I used PSP 6 instead, but after getting annoyed by its constant loading (and it's probably taking up lots of system resources for all I know) when starting it up and when pasting a screen capture onto it, I downgraded once more to PSP 5, which appears to be just as good as PSP 6, but thankfully loads a lot quicker and paste screens a lot quicker.

I don't think I've ever tried Photoshop.... is it the best graphics app available?
