Oh my God. Finally something to replace Window's snipping tool. Great job, and a level up to add to your already big, black and mean level. <3

[WhiteRose]

Looks neat, Zer0. Good job! How does this compare to the built-in Windows snipping tool?

[G_G]

Very nice. I made something similar awhile back. At that time I had no clue of the built in snipping tool. :S

How does it work with rendered stuff such as games or movies using DirectX, OpenGL or some other sort of renderer?

[ForeverZer0]

Haven't tried it. I imagine it will be work fine, it pretty much just transfers whatever is in the rectangle and puts it into an image.

I'll do some testing and let you know.

[Blizzard]

Do that. Screen capturing a rendered region doesn't work the same way as a normal Windows rendered region does.

[ForeverZer0]

Okay, well it seems to work fine when doing screenshots of pcsx2 using a DirectX renderer, and also with epsxe using an OpenGL one.

[Blizzard]

It works with any kind of game then? What about video players?

[Ryex]

I tested it on a youtube video and it worked fine.

I shall be hijacking this program

And a level up to you good sir! Good work!

[Spaceman McConaughey]

Works just fine with games.

[Blizzard]

Great. <3 I might just dump Hypersnap DX for this. <3
