Homebrew dev codestation is back on the scene again to update his latest project, PRXshot, a handy plugin that allows you to take in-game screenshots. But unlike similar apps, you don't need to pause your game to capture the screenshots.

Changelogs:

• version 0.2.1:
  • Added OIL to blacklist.
• version 0.2.0:
  • Removed trailing "/" so the directory creation don't fail.
  • New configuration file (prxshot.ini) so now you can configure some things
  • like background use for picture folders, change the button combo to take
  • the screenshot and the suffix/prefix of the picture file.

Developer's note:

This is a screenshot plugin that doesn't need to pause the game to take the capture (useful for avoid lag disconnects on online/adhoc gaming) and classifies the images per game using their name and icons (just like the very few games that come with native screenshot support).

The plugin stores the screenshot in BMP format inside:

>> /PSP/SCREENSHOT//pic_XXXX.bmp

for umd/iso games or:

>> /PSP/SCREENSHOT/PS<8-byte sha1sum of the title>/pic_XXXX.bmp

for homebrew or games in PBP format (because the homebrews have the same GAME_ID A¬_A¬).
