A good tool to take screenshots in a real A1200
« on: November 20, 2007, 04:19:54 PM »
Subject says it all. I want to write a few tutorials, mostly to remember myself how I did this and that, on:
- how to install a TCP/IP stack
- how to install an external CD
- how to connect to a LAN, once you'got TCP/IP up and running
- how to connect to a SMB share (using smbfs)
- how to connect to an FTP server
and so on...

But don't know how to take a screenshot!
I've searched Aminet but, boy, I'm sure stupid, didn't find anything.

Any suggestions? Links? Laughs?

Thanks in advance

I like SGrab


I think will try this, because I don't have PersonalPaint installed and also don't know if CyberGrab will work with my plain AGA 1200.

Aaarg! I searched Aminet using "screenshot", "screencapture", "capture", "shot", "image", "screen", ... but not with "grab" :-(

Here's one I prepared earlier :-D

Hey, that's cheating :-)

I will try CyberGrab tonight. I'm happy I found Sgrab, is so easy to use! Will will try CyberGrab, I promise.

By the way, I installed ScreenJaeger, an awesome screen grabber. It works letting you browse the memory, so you can play, say Colonization, soft reset your Amiga, run ScreenJaeger, find where the bitmaps were stored in memory and copy them to an image. Brilliant! I've never seen anything like this !

@Motorollin:

Sgrab worked out perfectly ! I had to install jpeg.library (in Aminet too) and tada! JPEG captures of every Window.

@Everyone who wants the docs:
Thanks for the interest. I will start making them (slowly, sorry but I'm going to be father again). Everytime a tutorial will be finished, I'll post in a dedicated thread. Tutorial language will be English, and I want OO.org + PDF versions.I will probably use OS 3.1 / OS 3.9.

Hey NeuroFlip! Glad to hear from you!
com van les coses, noi
I read your Blog often. Cool music with just a C64 and that Prophet thing!
I'm waiting for my first Amiga Wifi card! You know, envy is the Spanish national sin :-)
