Trash Talk - Tech WIZes required : Screen grabbing DOS games under winXP. Gravitron - Mon Apr 18, 2005 4:11 am Post subject: Tech WIZes required : Screen grabbing DOS games under winXP.
Never had this problem with 98.
Then again, 98 shell of command.com was x2 than the patheticness of winxp.
Eitherway, the situation is simply this : I can't printscreen DOS games.
Most of them, if you recall, ran under DOS4GW (the DOS answer for DX).
For an example : privateer 2.
I go in the game, run around, whatever, even enter a static screen.
If I press printscreen, I get nothing to the clip board.
If I try to use (and I tried like 20 of them) screencapture programs, I get a blank white or black screens.
Googled for the past five hours for a solution.
The dumb thing simply refuse to capture.
Please-Help!
Damn microsoft.

Give DosBox a try. Works very well with most old DOS games, and can setup a screenshot command pretty easily.

Yeah, so I heard.
I just dislike using emulators so I was hoping to avoid it.
Oh well, guess I'm cornered.

Well, if you're running a DOS program under any version of NT, you're running it in an emulator whether apparent or not.
