Taking Screenshots in Monkey Island 3

Dasilva · 12-13-2005, 01:44 PM

Any ideas? I've tried tweaking my system so it can take screenshots but it just comes out as a black image. Same thing happens when I want to take screenshots in THE DIG.

Is this some sort of protection?

Use ALT-S under ScummVM. If you're running the games directly under Windows, I don't know.

Print Screen doesn't work in most DirectX games. In a more general case you'd need to use specific screen capture programs (back when I was young we used a program called HyperSnap, if I remember correctly, but it was only shareware) or the game's potential built-in function (Gabriel Knight 3 is one of the few games I can think of that contains a print screen command...), but in this special case I recommend using ScummVM.
