PSPShot – Take PSP Screenshots!
greg | January 17, 2006
Tsukasa, from the qj forums, has released an incredibly handy homebrew app for your Playstation Portable. This app allows you take screenshots of anything that appears on your beautiful PSP screen – in game shots, menus, movies, etc…
Comments (43)It’s still buggy and makes sometimes strange lines in the screenshots, if the background is moving too fast.
I’ll try to solve this problem in the next version.
The screenshots are BMPs, which will be saved under X:\PSP\PHOTO\PSPShot\Controls:
Start: Starts the system menu in “screenshot mode”
Select: Starts the insertet UMD in “screenshot mode”L: Enables normal movement
R: Makes a screenshot
L+R: Exit the programIf the background is moving too fast, it helps when you take more than one screenshot, so you can choose the best one.
Note: This program does only works with firmware 1.50.

Why do people think they’re cool when they post the first comment…it’s lame.
Anyway this thing won’t work. I get the usual “game could not be started” message. Anyone else?
It works, but can’t view the Screen shot through PSP. View it from PC……It took abit long to take a shot….But it work great…..
Havn’t tried it yet, but seems like a useful program.
need to rename from “.Bitman” to “.JPG” to view it from PSP, more work…….
It’s a nice step in the right direction, but any screenshot taken with this program is ultimately useless.
Can’t wait for an update!
1.5 owns! read it and weep you 2.hoes!
let the good times roll I love when a decent firmware pops up and not some crap 2.0 save game mini game. Lol
W00t this rocks! 1.5 pwnz!
I got it to work, there was something wrong with the folder names (they’re set to the corrupted data is hidden, so I undid that so it’s “normal”, and now it works).
When you hit select to get to the system menu, things don’t always work right. For example the first time I got a message saying I needed to update my firmware. The second time the PSP froze at the white screen just after trying to load UMD emulator. Running it with the current UMD seems to work fine.
Having to hold down L all the time is kinda annoying…plus what if the game needs to use L? I think there should be a complicated combo to get a screen shot, like L R X and square.
Good start, but far from good. Should be real sweet in a few releases.
i have ver 1.50 and the program wont work
it keeps on saying “the game could not be started (80020130)
please saomeone help?
Yeah right like it wouldnt be useful to be able to show someone what something looks like on PSP by picture instead of making them download and run whatever it is.
Now someone can post what thier homebrew game looks like instead of making us guess or download it first.
Grow a brain then thinkk about going a dick.
mz8691….shutup.
Anyway, a solution to the ripping in the pictures could be to freeze the game image so the picture can be rendered correctly.
Also, Select seems like a better use of a screenshot button, as very few games use it. Not to mention, having to hold down the L trigger seems someone pointless.
In the end, I’d rather useful screenshots with a pause during gameplay, rather than useless screenshots and no pause.
#12, rename the files example: pspshot and pspshot%, then use something like seipsptool to hide corrupted files.
Why? For the love of god why? What is the point?
would there b any way 2 hook up a camera (like an itoy) 2 the psp and make the image show on the screen then take a pic? in short, a psp digital camera?
Judging from the microphone that comes with PSP Talkman… I can pretty much GUARANTEE that there will be a cam for the PSP but it will be something you have to buy not something you can ‘warez’ It would be sorta cool if it came bundled with a PSP video chat proggy ;)
#8, you’re pretty childish. I think most of the people have dropped that already.. (-_-)
#3, I so totally agree with you. Its nothing special AT ALL..
Anyways, I, for one, have firmware 2.60 and I’m just fine with it and in my honest opinion, this program is pretty useless.
this is nice it could be handy for the programers to show us how somthing looks, or if anyone needs help with somthing they can print screen and post it here
cool apps:)
haha 2.++ rocks
GTA is the only game i have and good ol edison carter hooked me up with a cheat divice that has screen shot mode. this is still a good idea though once all of the bugs are worked out.
interesting. this is ideal for snapping configs and stuff to help out on the forums.
No offence To the programmers, But Im with #18, And #16 when they say that 2++ worth upgrading for,
Can anyone take a screen shot of the image that appears when you load up any game. It only shows for like 2 seconds and is spheres filled with color.
Nice Good stuff always wanted to take screen shots of the Menu System on the PSP. but its still a bit buggy when running games, but its okay. Cant take screen shots of homebrew games tho. So i guess i’m back with coding a screen cap for the game =P.
come’on, somebody give me step by step instructions on taking these screen shots!! I already downloaded da files i needed, but am stuck.
I love it…
Lol, 2.x You are running out of game save space!

1.5 owns, were so pretty you gotta have a picture of us.
I think this app rocks.
Don’t you think the best button to use to take a screenshot should be the equalizer button? Maybe the brightness button should do the job (without the brightness change, of course).
Thanks, Tsukasa.
Sounds like a port of Zgrab. But its about fucking time something like this came out.
i cannot get it to work
if you will help me i will make a new psp download!
and i will call it
PSPVIDEO-TAKE PSP VIDEOS
#25 i think that i wil go ahead and get on the internet(you know the one that is a lot faster and is less buggy) and then after that i think i will play some GTA
and mess with edison’s cheat divice for a little bit(maybe record a couple of videos showing how 2.++ pwns 1.50’s ass). ill email it to you, so you can check it out on your crappy hacked 1.5 internet browser.
this is just out of the subject but can some1 tell me if u can run any 2.0+ games on your memory stick yet
Nunyo is it really that hard to decifer whats going on? i know you struggle with english, but theres got to be limits to your lack of brains. i commend the author of this, as it is another victory for us over sony. Go team!
#33 i dont think that you can
they need to make more homebrew they havent released anything in a while
#38 it doesnt work with 2.6 yea that sucks i also have 2.6 I upgraded by accident
#36 who said that you are the judge of whos cool or pathetic. it sounds like you are the pathetic one my friend. you shouldn’t try to put poeple down, because in the long run it just shows how insecure you really are. why would i be jelous if the only really good game out so far for psp is GTA anyway. you can go ahead and upgrade and downgrade every single time that you want to play it (if you really want to take the time to do that), but myself, i have this condition called lazyness. now please excuse me, i think that i am ganna get back to playing my GTA game. have fun playing your little homebrew games. its only a matter of time before you have to upgrade to play any psp games that are worth playing.
ps. i never said i had upgraded all the way to 2.01 you dumb a$$
dude, 2.++ means 2.0 and higher
hahahahahahahahahaha….haha
lol ^he’s right^
