Skorpius' Guide to Taking BB Screenshots
How do I make take a screenshot?
~ Pressing Prt Scr/Print Screen during gameplay should cause your game to pause for a moment, then you should hear a camera click. (If you don't hear the click, press it again or until you do)
Where do I find my screenshots?
~ You should find your screenshots in your SEGA folder. Usually, the path should be C: > Program Files > SEGA > PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst > bmp.
How do I post my screenshots?
  • First of all, you need to convert your images from BMP to a reasonable file extension. Open up MS Paint by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint.
  • Drag the image you wish to post into MS Paint, and it should be displayed in the program.
  • You'll want to SAVE AS. Type in a file name (usually a short name relevant to the image), and select JPG in the "Save Type As" drop-down box. If you wish to retain the quality of your image, then select PNG.

    Recap:
    = Open MS Paint.
    = Drag the image into the program.
    = Save As
    = Name the file.
    = JPG for the lowest file size, PNG for the highest quality.

  • Once you've saved the image, you can now host the image on the internet using http://www.photobucket.com or http://www.imageshack.us/
  • Go to the Screenshot Topic (found in the PSOI,II&IV General Fourm) to post your images.
  • When posting the image, you can either post the link for us to click on, or use BB Code to display the image in your post.

    Recap:
    = To display the image on the internet, you must first host the image on the internet. Use http://www.photobucket.com or http://www.imageshack.us/ to do so.
    = Go to the PSOBB Screenshot thread in the General Forum.
    = Post the link for us to click on, or use BB Code to display the image.

    NOTE: You may want to resize or link your images in the official Blue Burst screenshot topic if they are over 700 pixels wide. Anything more will resize the forum tables and cause a lot of nasty looking stretching.

    Congratulations, you have now posted a screenshot of your Blue Burst adventures.
