Passing Time, Playing games, considering making an LP.
« on: April 15, 2009, 09:22:14 pm »
I'm thinking of making a picture based LP, mostly because my life is so boring and I have tons of time to burn.

However, I need a way of quickly and easily taking screenshots, and when I heard Pandar say this phrase in his up-and-coming TNM LP:

I should still have my Screenshot settings

I want to know what he's talking about. Is there a way to taking tons of screenshots without going through the hullabaloo of going through paint and saving each individual picture?

A lot of games (and additional programs probably exist just for this) have a built-in screenshot function, where there's a folder that the game automatically stores pics in when you tell it to. This of course varies from game to game, but most current PC games have this feature. Some emulators have it, too.

Can someone point out whether or not Zsnes has such a feature, seeing as I'm blind and dumb?

Blizzard is managed by dark sorcerers, and probably have enough money to bail-out the federal government.

Not really.

Anyway, I want to the Zsnes official forum and asked my question, and I have pretty much everything figured out except for how to not make screenshots which are teeny tiny.

Use the tiny screenshots and increase their size by scaling:
<img src="foo.jpg" width="400%">
The images will take up less space but will still be legible, and no information is lost.

Thinking it over, I know what your saying Derakon, but I don't know the proper code that would work on this forum.

I found a program that'll let me increase the size of large groups of pictures at a time, it's called irfanview, and it's really nice.

I'll probably be starting that LP tonight, I want it to be a community thing, so I'll try to make it really fun.

Inaluct, by any chance are you gonna continue your ball bullet gun LP? I was really enjoying that.
