Full Screen Snapshot - DOSBox

#1 Post by linbie »

Hi
Running Slacko 5.3

Have an application that I run in DOSBox. I need to take a snapshot of the DosBox in full screen - how?

Tried using the included utility set to 60 seconds - giving me plenty of time to setup the appropriate screen on the DOSBox in full screen mode. However when the screenshot is taken it is actually of the screen as if DOSBox was NOT in full screen i.e I have a screen shot of my background with a small DOSBox screen

Linbie- I have no idea if this is Win specific, though you can try'n report back..
captures = path-to-capture-directory

Directory where things like music (wave and MIDI) and screenshots are captured when special keys CTRL-F5 and CTRL-F6 are used. Screenshots will be captured and saved as (PNG) files with a resolution of 320x200.
Note: The capture directory will not be created automatically - you must create it before you start capturing music and screenshoots, otherwise nothing will be saved. As of v0.73 (possibly prior) it is created automatically on first use.
The default value is capture (captures=capture).
(since 0.62).

If ya need to resize- ImageMagick's the way to go..
