Hi there, I have a question.
I know I can grab a raw screenshot typing "screenshot -raw"
Is it possible to set raw screenshots as default? So when I press print key (wich I set using bind) it aitomatically takes a raw svreenshot?

Just set the binding...? bind PRINT "screenshot -raw" (untested).
What did you try?

You can bind any command you would give in the console.

Which post was that?

anyway just noticed that binding PRINT that way, it fails getting the screenshot if no cart is inserted... so you can't grab screenshots from diskloaded softwares

another question: is there a way to grab an active screen only screenshot? I mean without borders (so 256x192 pixels on msx1 machines, for example)

Then just use the guess_title version...

Borders are part of the fun!

LoL yep, I love MSX borders. But when you need to grab your own gfx because you lose a couple of files by mistake, habing only the active screen would help. Anyway the job is done so no matter Wink
Your solution (bind PRINT {screenshot -raw [guess_title]} works. So now is tested
