Software To Capture Screenshots In "win Xp"

[Shrek]

Hello there abandonian fellows.

This is the first time i open a tópic and i hope i' m doing it at the right place.

I' ve been trying to take some screenshots of a "windows 95 based" game that runs in 256 color mode. i' ve been using PSP 9 but all the images i get are presented in strange colors.

What i ask you is this: does anyone knows a program similar to PSP that can capture displayed images?

I thank you in advance, oh wise ppl :kosta: for iluminating my restless mind :D

The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) does that without a problem. It also does a LOT of other stuff. It's like a freeware Photoshop.

IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com/) is my favourite - great for game screenies.

thank you guys, that was quick :ok:

unfortunately it didn' t solved my problem because i get the same result as with PSP.... i' ll attach one screenshot for you to see what is happening. the colors aren' t right, and i can' t make any improvements no matters what i do.

Can you adjust the color depth?

It's Baldies. I think it was a DOS game, hence the palette incompatibility. Tried running it through DOSBox?

Try SnagIT! See Here:- http://www.techsmith.com/products/snagit/default.asp
Although it may or may not work for you. But it should work!

Or Try Similar programs here:- http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Gr...re/SnagIt.shtml (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Capture/SnagIt.shtml)


Hope it helps! :ok:

yes, this one is Baldies... it was a Dos game, but i only have a Windows version so it won' t run under DOSBox (unfortunately). I read somewhere that there are about 24 versions of this game but i couldn' t find any DOS version anywhere. I'm supposed to write a review for this game, but so far i have two problems with the same one cause:
1st - since this is a site dedicated mostly to DOS games i don' t know if Kosta will want to place it here (i' ll have to discuss that with him :Titan: ).
2nd - this damn screeshot thing is killing my nerves (maybe i should have posted this in the "post your crap here" topic :D )
Gimp and Irfanview gave me the same results as PSP... i' ll try SnagIT when i get home; i also remebered one trick i' ll try to use :evil: ... i' ll keep you informed.

anyway, thanks for the tips :cheers:
