ScreenShotPNG Speedy Plugin v0.30

[GinoD]

Just posted this a while ago over at the frontpage.

It's a screenshot plugin from Fany_rakion, which can do screencaps on VSH, GAME, and POPS.

Changelog ScreenShotPNG Speedy Plugin v0.30:

• The ability to specify a file name.
• A signal that can be displayed after the end took a screenshot.
• Fixed a bug that was captured in a frozen state if the display turns off.

Ah. Also, this plugin has been upgraded to support CFW 5.00 M33-6. The previous version was only compatible up until M33-3.

This would be handy, but it might clash with some other button combo's ive got for other things... Can you change the combo or is it hard-coded?

Sorry man. Please don't confuse me as the author of this brew. ;) It's by Fany_rakion, a Japanese coder. I'm just posting this here to let everyone know - maybe some of you guys would be interested in checking this out.

[slasher101]

I know, but i thought you would have used it, to be posting it.
Doesn't Matter though

[Dreiundachzig]

it's easy to change the combo
just edit "SSPSP.ini" in the "any" folder. default is "Note" you can change it to e.g. "Note+L"

That's a pretty gnarley plugin, I remember trying to get a png screenshot saved, but the only way I could get a real framebuffer copy was via kernel-mode and the libpng is not compatible with kernel libs. Wonder how he did it.

[slasher101]

he might of hooked the GU and wrote the contents to a file?

Good lord

[NoEffex]

I don't think so..that wouldn't be a real framebuffer even if it were possible, that'd be the userspace one(kernel libs don't get GU). He just took a snapshot of the framebuffer(not sure if it's the "real" one or the userspace one) and saved it as png. I'll find out which one it was when I hop onto linux.

[slasher101]

Oh ok, i misunderstood what this plugin did, it actually take a "full" screenshot of the screen, some of the others just take the framebuffer and write the contents directly to a file.

That's what a screenshot is. A snapshot of the framebuffer that gets encoded into a file of choice(this one being PNG, most use BMP).

[slasher101]

he must be using libpng? but i thought that only read not wrote png files?

[NoEffex]

No, it writes png files. There is even a screenshot sample.

Why the ...?

I specified "real", as that's what the home screen uses and such.

I should have said "internal".

[slasher101]

Well how did he do it then? He either wrote his own pnglib or found a way to do it in user mode

[NoEffex]

You can do it in usermode, it's probably just the usermode framebuffer.

[slasher101]

Yes but then why did you go on about he must of found a kernel way?

[NoEffex]

No, I said I tried to find a kernel way as the usermode framebuffer thing cannot see everything.

[slasher101]

i know thats the point, as i said up the top its not the best plugin becuase it dont print the WHOLE screen to a file

[NoEffex]

It prints the whole screen alright - just not the internal framebuffer. It uses kernel mode, from what I can tell. It's just a conglomerate of kernel imports. He must have done a malloc macro or something, I don't know how he did it, and wish it was open source so I could learn a thing or two.

[slasher101]

I know, maybe you should send him a PM asking for the source, and then we both might learn somethink

[NoEffex]

I doubt he speaks much english.

[NoEffex]

Google translator is horrible, lol. It translates almost unreadably.

I speak a pretty good amount of spanish(I'm from LA) and I know when I'd do various translations google translator makes zero sense and would not be understood in the language.

[slasher101]

Ok lol =)

[Bryson]

I noticed that whenever i take a screenshot, the screenshot doesnt immediately show up in my picture folder. Why is that so?

This plugin is not working for me, even after pressing Note, changed Note+L but it still doesn't work. PSP Phat with 5.00M33-6, plugin enabled just irsautoboot,popsloader,cw cheat and game_categories.
