Not sure what the problem is, they would be in your main SH4 folder:hmm:

I just use the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard and then just paste in a new document in Photoshop or Paint.

Isn't it Ctrl+F11 for the screenshots?

Hi !

Try a simple search (within Start Menu ) in Windows, looking for this text:

SH4Img@

The screenshots are in .bmp format.

Good hunt ;) !!!

Hmm If they ended-up in your mydocs/sh4 folder let us know.

How did the " SH4Img*.bmp " search go?

If you do find them, this is helpful.

I made a file that moves the pics out of the SH4 folder to a temp one for easier posting.

Shift-F11 will NOT take screenshots so you have NONE there....

Where can I buy a "clue"? I'd like to mail 1 to Lt commander lare.

I have never tried to take a screenshot in SH4 and after I read this thread, I now know 2 ways to do it and yet Lt commander lare still does not. :hmm: I'm missing something here. I know it.:roll:

Maybe this will help:

Try pressing CTRL+F11

Looks like Lt Cmdr Lare has been sipping too much Japanese sake. :rotfl:

Do you have 1.1 update? IIRC, you need 1.1 patch to take screenshots with F+ctrl.

I still dont get why you dont just use "PRINT SCREEN" it always just works. Alt-Tab out, Paste...Done.

I use a KVM switch to move between 4 PC's. Everytime I switch to one of them my F Key light goes out so if I were to press Ctrl +F11 nothing would happen either. Make sure you F Keys are working and activated on your keyboard, then try it.

CRTL + F11 does not work me either. I downloaded FRAPS. I like it better anyway:yep:

This worked for me...
I have one of those Microsoft media keyboards, and I could not get screenshots to take either, that is until I tried my "LEFT CTRL", then it worked.

Don't know why, but nothing happened using the right side ctrl key.
