Title: Screenshots
Post by: Sephiroth2000 on 2003-12-04 08:17:17

Hey guys. I've been wondering for some time, is there any way to run a games console through a computer and take screenshots of the console's image? I've seen it done in a few games magazines and on a few sites.
Thanks.

yea u need a good TV/video capture card
and then some decent TV viewing software that lets u take screenshots
I use a Pinnacle RAVETV card (cost only 20£ and is better then all the cards i seen)
and i use DSCALER which is free tv viewing software (no recording)

Hmm how about to run it on PC on emulator, and use some ScreenDumping thingy, like printscreen or hyper snap (http://www.hyperionics.com/hsdx/index.asp)

No PS2 emulators can play commercial games.

If you're interested in PS2 emulation generally, check out http://nsx2.emulation64.com/ - can play some .elf demos using the PS2 features emulated so far.
