PSOBB: How are Screenshots Taken?

[blehbleh]

How does one go about taking screenshots in PSO:BB? And also, where are the screenshots that are taken located?

Hit print screen. This works ANYWHERE on a computer. Print Screen will capture the current screen that you are in. Open up paint or some graphic porgram and then paste it in there. Btw, I believe this has already been asked. If not, it belongs on the BB support thread.

Er. You don't need to open up paint.

Print Screen is the 'snapshot' key in BB, somewhat like having a controller in port four and a snapshot file. When you hit it, you should hear a sound that you'll be familiar with if you ever took a snapshot on GC - Sounds like an analog camera taking a picture. The images are fullscreen, and are automatically saved to the bmp directory under the BB directory(C:SEGAProgram FilesPHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burstbmp assuming default install location)

The upshot of this is that you can take as many snapshots in a session as your computer's hard drive can hold. The downside is that there's no way to orient the camera the way you can while taking a snapshot on GC. Further upshot is that the screencap is an exact image of what's on your monitor, so you're not limited to tiny images or trying to deal with a capture card and the like. 1024x768 full-screen shots = Nice.

Well I don't play BB, and mostly ignore the BB threads, so I really wouldn't know. I was just saying what I know to be helpful http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

in my computer just pressing the Print Screen Button doesnt work i must press it for about 2/3 seconds dunno if its the same for you

Should just be a quick tap, the screen will freeze for a frame or two, then you're good to go. You may have to hold it, never had that experience, but to each his own I guess.
