Impossible to make a screenshot of a game. #44

Closed valentinbreiz closed 6 years ago

valentinbreiz commented 6 years ago

What's wrong, and with what software version?

TI-OS version: 5.3.1 TI-Boy CE version: 0.1.1 Describe your issue: Transfert error when I try to make a screenshot from TI Connect.

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

  1. Load a game
  2. Take a screenshot for TI Connect CE
  3. Feel bad

Any logs, error output, screenshot, other comments...?

This is not a supported scenario because the OS is not allowed to run any code during emulation, and the screen buffer is not in the format it expects anyway.

It may be possible to build a screenshot feature into the emulator itself, which would perhaps save to a Pic file (I'm a bit surprised nobody made an issue for that yet).

So let's make this x)

This is silly, literally no program supports capturing a screenshot with the crappy TIConnect. Imho, this issue should be closed.

calc84maniac commented 6 years ago

Sure thing. If someone wants to request a screenshot feature for TI-Boy they can make a separate issue for that.

Just use CEmu, that works best.

adriweb commented 6 years ago

In this case, transfer your game and state files to CEmu, then you can take your screenshot as you want (even animated screenshot if you need that)

That's what I did thanks!
