Any other ways I can take screenies?

Is there any other way I can take screenshots?

With the res fix on, F11 is disabled (even if I switch to 1024x768). I could uninstall the res fix when I want to take screenshots, but it's a pain.

I just tried fraps, but everything freezes.

You could try hitting the Prt Scrn button. As far as I know, it doesn't double as some sort of game function key. That'll save whatever is currently on your screen to the clipboard. Then you can paste it in some sort of graphic program after your gaming session. However, that limits you to only one screenie at a time.

Try Fraps. You can take screenshots and make movies.

I'll have a look at that, thanks.

I think with the res fix, pressing PrtScr saves the image to the SHIII folder. I've had this happen a few times. :hmm:

Great, tks Brag. Just tried it on the laptop and works nicely, will try it in-game tonight. Found it here btw, in case anyone else looks for it: http://flightsim.o-fag.org/file/fsscreen.zip

Irfan, completely free and a very good screen capture program.

I can't remember if it will automatically create a file on your desktop. but all it takes is a press on the printscreen key and presto!

Yup, it does (in whatever folder you put the exe) and automatically numbers them.

So tried out FSScreen tonight in-game. Wouldn't work

. It's like the PrtScr key is disabled as well. Tried disabling the res fix; not that, or at least that just meant the whole game wouldn't start up. Re-enabled the res fix and tried 1024x868. Zilch. Then I figured I might as well try Ctrl+PrtScr for the heck of it, and it looks as if that worked for some reason (didn't before)

.

But this must be on Ctrl+F11 re-mapped or something, 'cause the screenies weren't saved in the FSScreen folder, they were saved to the SH3 main folder. Odd thing is; they're saved in tga format, which has me really scratching my head :hmm: . Wouldn't mind knowing what's going on, if anybody knows, but bottom line is I'm getting the screenshots ... tga's ok for now, as I'm using a trial version of Ahaview, which converts to jpg as well. But gotta find a freebie viewer/converter for the longer term ... any suggestions?
