[Feature Request] Have a hotkey for taking menu screenshots

Open anyputer opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

Description

This is a feature request for a hotkey to take screenshots of the RetroArch menu, not just the core output.

This can be an easy, reliable way to take a screenshot of the menu. On the OS-level it may be impossible or contain artifacting.

I honestly don't see the point. You don't have to use paint either there is a number of tools that make screenshots write to disk immediately.

That's not really the problem, some weird message shows up about vJoy when I take a screenshot. RetroArch screenshots almost never bug out.

We already have a screenshot feature with a keybind, but its only exposed for cores. I suppose it would be better if it worked everywhere.

Screenshot can be taken from the menu currently, but it won't take a shot of the menu.

thanks for replying to my issue from 6 years ago. while i haven't used windows for years, i believe this is a useful feature to have on homebrew platforms. i edited the issue text to make it less awkward.
