Post by Ghosthunter »

in games?

Like in reveiws?

Is there a generic program everyone uses or you have to use whatever that game is built in?

I use HyperSnapDX

http://www.hyperionics.com/

i have a purchased copy though, so i don't have the tag image it puts in the non purchased version

also some games have built in screen capture utilities, like ut2k3's is F9 and saves images in the ut2003/system folder as bmp's

I was going to recommend this to him also, but he asked for a way to take screenshots in-game, and this requires you to have access to the task bar in order to take the "shot."

This is a great proggy...allows for in game shots and is easily configurable :)
