Taking screenshots of DOS programs

Post by NoXion »

Does anyone know of a program that can take screenshots of a DOS program? (Tyrian2000 if you want to know)
Print Screen key doesn't capture anything.

Believe me, I've tried every possible setting I could think of on my XP machine and it doesn't work. Image

Couldn't get it to work :cry:

Command Prompt is Dos
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

The DOSBox site shows Tyrian2000 as "supported" as of v0.61.
Have you tried using a frontend to make configuring DOSBox for it easier?

I downloaded a frontend (D-Fend to be exact) for DOSbox, I can now take screenshots.

Thanks for all the help :D
