Any idea about how to take screenshots?

[nocturnal YL]

I have a few questions concerning screenshot taking to ask.

Assume I have no emulators (even if I do have, I can't take screenshots! Say, when Gamecube games are played on an emulator, there is no memory card support!), no firewire ports and anything else except a PCI slot and 3 USB plugs. (For anything concerning prices, please post an approximate price in terms of US dollars or UK pounds. I can't calculate Euro, sorry for that)

Does anyone know some cheap way of taking screenshots of consoles and other machines that have AV cable as their output?

Does anyone know how to take screenshots from handheld consoles, while I have no Super Game Boy, Game Boy Player and other things that allow me to play handheld games via the TV screen?

My Miniclassics reflects light! How can I take good photos from it?



I need these informaions so that I can use them to produce stuff like websites and Flash movies. These does help NinDB too, so please htlp me on this.

You need a TV card for that. You can use those to screencap what you currently play. I got a good one for about 80 dollars.

Most people use emulators for those, but the other option is hacking the signal if it was wireless. Price: Free or very costy if hacking the signal.

Turn of the flash of the camera, as far as I know the only way to get a good picture of it, it will only be a bit dark though.

You might want to ask Fryguy about it. He knows more than me

That's why he started this thread man... to ask somebody who knows the answer...

[missingno.is back?]

I think Fryguy will come across this thread since he's an admin.

that's probably why he posted it here.

TV Card is my answer for regular screenshots... for handheld systems I either use an emulator or official screenshots found elsewhere, and I don't take photos because they always look crappy.

Oh, and Fran, I deleted your last message. If you reply to another post with "I agree" then I will delete it. Three strikes and I'll consider banning you.

Which is unfortunate since the only DS images you can get, for now, are from official sources.
