"Capturing Game Consoles screens"

How do they do this???


In mags you see them put gaming images from the game into the mag...

Exactly, PC users just buy a crap tv card. Mac's are nice but even a technically inept person like me prefers something he can buy stuff dirt cheap for and mess around with it.

They don't need a TV capture card. Extensive firewire and external TV thingmagigs but they cost to much for me.

Same method will work with any console with composite cable, however without a tv card I can't see any way to do it - such is the price MAC owners pay - More stability/less choice.

Mac I have.

T.V. Card Expensive and hartd to get it is.


Gamecube?

N64?

I did this with a pile of games in the Summer as I'm using the screen shots for a University thing.

I bought a cheap tv card with a Composite in socket, put it in the PC, then used the Xbox composite cable (the yellow one) and plugged it into the TV card, then used the TV card to do screen captures. Works well enough for me anyway. You can pick the cards up on eBay for very little - I was only buying it for the screen caps and not anything else so I bought the cheapest one possible (about £5).

I have a TV thing in the back of my computer and could do it... But my TV thing broke and now it won't :(

Thats if your talking about PC games mind....

Doesn't the "PrintScreen" method work with games?

OPSM2 use their own software to do it, apparently.

Buy a new PSX when it gets launched and it'll do screen grabs for you too.

If you've got a TV card it is fairly easy.
