very cool Zer0!

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

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!

Works just fine with games.
