What's happened (Optionals v19) ...

Optionals Changes =============================================================05.04.2020

  • DOSBox, ImgMake with arg -force extended. Overwrite the current Image.
  • DOSBox, ImgMake, no given file name saves the image to the current dosbox directory
  • DOSBox, with output "OpenGL" it is possible to Create Screenshots inc Shader.
  • DOSBox, Menu Extended ... (Remember, this ist not the Final Menu)
  • Voodoo, Create Screenshots too

All right. Now it is finally possible to take screenshots with Output = OpenGl and shader. Even if the voodoo card is emulated and in action. There is no hotkey for this yet. Use the System Icon Menu for this.

Scalers works with Output=OpenGL. This is not Perfekt but you can mix the Scalers and Shaders.
