Bitmap Printer is a system module that intercepts the capture button and takes uncompressed RGB bitmaps image instead of compressed JPEG images.
It ensures that the screenshot you capture looks as good when you showcase it as it did when you took it. You can also use it when the game would normally prevent it.
Installation
Extract the .zip file to the SD card.
Bitmaps will be stored in your local Album folder (sdmc:/[optional emuMMC prefix]/Nintendo/Album/Bitmaps).
User guide
Notes:
- This skips the Applet manager so there should be no watermark.
- The screenshots display all layers, including Tesla overlays.
- There is no notification that the screenshot was taken (saved to Nintendo/Album/Bitmaps folder), and you won't be able to view the images from the built-in album applet.
Limitations:
- Recording videos or regular screenshots don't work while this sys-module is active (ovl-Sysmodule or any other sysmodule hotswap tool is recommended).
- This only works starting from Firmware 3.0.0+ (On lower firmware it will gracefully exit).
- This utilizes a debug call from VI which requires a new exefs patch for every version if you aren't on a dev unit (3.0.0 - 18.0.0 included).
- All images will still be at 1280x720 even when playing docked.
