Dementiah Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Recently got a new PC with the evil XP installed on it. Luckily MI1 runs fine, but I can't take Screenshots of it any more, either using printscreen or Paintshop Pro's screen capture feature. It ends up as being "unpastable". Any help anyone?
Joshi Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 If you click on the sticky, you'll find links to programs that help you play these games on XP (you may be fine with mi1 as I am, but mi2 sound needs this as do other scumm based old games). If you use that to play mi1 in windowd mode, you can take screenshots. that, or download HyperSnap DX (search for it in google) and that should do it for you as well.
Benny Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Taking screenshots for dos programs in xp is a pain in the arse. However if you run MI1 through ScummVM you can use the Print Screen key to your hearts content
Dementiah Posted November 26, 2003 Author Posted November 26, 2003 Thanks. I downloaded it the other day anyway... I must be psychic [pokes the Evil XP] *Edit* Where have all my savegames gone?! eerg
Joshi Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Something slightly annoying in an otherwise perfect program, but I'm sure someones working on it. Playing games using q&e or SCUMMVM doesn't recognise you're old savegames. They're still there, they just can't be acessed when playing the game through SCUMMVM. In otherwords, you now have to replay the game and save all your games again. But if you were to play without scummvm, you will get all your old savegames back (and none of the scummvm ones) but then no screenshots. It's either one or the otherm, sorry.
Dementiah Posted November 29, 2003 Author Posted November 29, 2003 The old saves have gone too when i run it on normal. Bugger. Oh well.
