Really, wouldn't that increase the .exe size by quite a lot by about 163k?
simply for a screen shot routine, that is without the game behind it?

I suppose there is always the method of doing a single scan line at a time,
but I'm not sure how I'm getting the Data back to the PC yet, does anyone
know of a nice solution to this, I want to allocate the screen shot function
to an unused pad button, so pressing it dumps the screen to the PC as a TIM
or BMP.

TIA
Nigel
