Taking Pics

nickclone · April 11th, 2002

How do you take pics of the games while playing?

**Kane** · April 11th, 2002

F8 will take a screenshot in ePSXe.

**Snake785** · April 11th, 2002

in epsxe just press F8.

but it saves in BMP so if you want to post them, say here on the forums, you should convert them to Jpg so they are fast to download.

heh, you beat me to it.

Thanks!

nickclone, make sure you have a folder in you ePSXe directory called snap for the pictures to be put into when you press F8. If you don't have this folder, when you take a picture, it won't go anywhere and it will be lost.

why do my snaps look crappy sometimes and not other times?

Ninjaa · April 11th, 2002

I just use print screen, or hypersnap DX, depends on how many shots I want to take. I hate converting bitmaps to jpegs.

**Kanodin** · April 11th, 2002

it's easy to convert if you have ACDsee, but printscreen also snaps bitmaps

G-Pitts · April 11th, 2002

Or you can try using freeware Irfanview to convert bmp to jpg. Grab this software at www.irfanview.com

**Kanodin** · April 11th, 2002

ooohh much better than that expensive ACDsee

G-Pitts · April 11th, 2002

Yeah, it can do the same as that ACDsee

**Kanodin** · April 11th, 2002

thanks for the Url G

G-Pitts · April 11th, 2002

your welcome

Ninjaa · April 11th, 2002

In Paint for Windows XP you can save to a JPG. So that's what I normally do if I only want one shot.

**Kanodin** · April 11th, 2002

i've noticed in the paint if you save it as a JPG the file still ends up as big as a bmp ya know in the 1.0 mb range

Ninjaa · April 11th, 2002

Mine are all in the 40 - 60kb range. There must be something seriously wrong with your paint, or you are setting your quality WAY too high. I set mine at about 75%.

Quatro · April 11th, 2002

you could also use graphic program like adobe photoshop

**Prafull** · April 11th, 2002
