azurite;_; Okay, so I woke up today, after 3:30 or so because I was zonked yesterday, and now here I am, doing my bestest to fulfill my role as a holiday mod and get the damn Mamo Week 2003 Awards DONE already, so I can do the Best Overall poll and finish THAT award, and then worry about TAFF day and the upcoming Winter Holiday Fic Bonanza month. X_X BUT NOOOO, my plans must go awry! And not foiled by any hero, either!
Nah, my own evil technology likes to crap out on me. So much for me being the ultra-villaness. Now I need help. I'm running ZNES 1.00 (I know, I know, it's OLD-- that's why I'm downloading version 1.36!) and trying to take screenshots of the diary in Sailor Moon: Another Story.
Do not say "Why don't you go look for the sprites online?" because I already tried! Anyway, so I want to grab a nice, large version of the diary screen, and along with it, the background that is used throughout the game-- that green one that says 'Sailormoon' on it? I can't find that bg anywhere, and I need it for my awards-- of course, I don't want to go into acute detail, but just help me out here, okay? Please?
My problem is that I cannot seem to take screenshots. I tried the usual-- Print Screen. Didn't work-- nothing copied to the clipboard. Then I tried Alt-Print Screen, but that didn't work either; I think that's for SNES 9.x only. I'll try some others, including the movie option, but even with my ancient DOS-based version of ZSNES 1.00, I remember doing SOMETHING that took an instant screenshot of whatever was on the screen at the time, and changed it to a PCX or IPX (something like that) file. I already took all of the existing screenshots of that extension (I can't remember what it really was) and changed them to GIFs, so I don't know what it is or how to do it. I've looked online too, but it doesn't seem to help much.
Since Windows XP doesn't have any support for the new DOS-based ZSNES, I'm sticking to the Windows-based version I just downloaded-- I don't know if that makes any difference in the GUI or the HotKeys, but can anyone help me out here? Seriously, MUST HAVE SCREENSHOTS! :) Thanks...
[EDIT]: Okay, so I figured out about the special F1 menu that says 'save screenshot' and all, but I don't see the PCX or BMP files anywhere in the directory where the ROM I am playing (smas_eng.smc) is. Now what!?
