Screenshot Feature Super Low Res

Unread post by richieinfadels »

Hey all!

Hope someone out there can help me out with this. I'm having trouble getting good results from stock MiSTer screenshot feature (Win + PrtScn)

Looking at this old SmokeMonster twitter post, he says that screen grabs are taken "raw, before the scaler".

However, when I try, they are super low res, around half a meg in size and look like there is some kind of filter applied (I'm not adding any filters / shadow masks or anything in the core).

What trick am I missing here?

Thanks!

There was a change a month ago in MiSTer Main to take screenshots in scaler's resolution instead of raw resolution when using Win+PrtScn. To take a raw screenshot, now you have to press Win+LShift+PrtScn instead.
