Is there a program I can download to take a screenshot of the currently open window and save it immediately? I'm getting REALLY sick of trying to start up new LPs and needing to manually PrtScrn - Switch to paint - save as - repeat, especially for games I can't pause! I need something I can just press a button on the fly, and Fraps isn't working for some of my emulators!

Namely, something that works with VisualBoyAdvance and No$GBA would be preferred.

Current list of "To LP games" and those who suggested them

Lufia: Ruins of Lore (Lades)
Super Robot Taisen (Droog)
Summon Night (Kimiko)
Rune Factory 2 (Me)

Irfan View. It's what I use.


Or you can use FRAPS.

Fraps won't work, but I'll check out Ifran view. I seem to remember trying to install it on my windows 95 years ago and it not working, but times have changed.

EDIT: Ifranview works, excellent! Thank you, Droog!

I also just remembered the GBA has its own screenshot function but the images are small, but it's better than nothing if all else fails....

Actually, depending on how big the emulator screen, it makes the image bigger itself when screenshotted when using the ingame screenshot stuff some emulators come with, albeit distorted and stretched, but still, bigger than the tiny lil screen.

It's way easier to use IrfanView because all you need to do is press a button and then bam, nice quality and size screen shot sent right to a folder of your choice.
