How to take a screenshot of RecalBox Menus?

[Brett Powell]

I recently wrote a guide for my website on building a RecalBox. Many of the pictures are of the Main Menu (configuration) screens, such as Network Settings, Controller Configuration, etc.

I took placeholder pictures by using my phone camera to capture my TV, however these look very bad. I've spent hours now trying to figure out how to take proper screenshots instead. (Building RecalBox on a Virtual Machine, capturing the TV screen, Running it through my XBox One HDMI In and Capturing it, etc) So far I have not had any luck at all and I am exhausted from searching.

Is there any possible way to take a screenshot of the RecalBox interface screens? The documentation says you can use HOTKEY + L1 inside of emulators, but this does not seem to work on the main interface.

@Brett-Powell simply open a SSH connection (via putty for example) and type the following: raspi2png

It will take a screenshot and create a file under /share/system.

You can also add -f filename.png

@supernature2k My god, I wish I had just posted here first. I asked on the Reddit RecalBox board but didn't get a response. Wasted most of my night trying to figure out some way to do this. Thank you for the help!

What login do I use to access it via SSH?

@Brett-Powell user: root pwd: recalboxroot

@supernature2k That is perfect, thank you so so much!

@Brett-Powell Would you mind to release your guide when it is done?
