Requirements:

- Download: Screencapture | Screencapture
How to install Screen Capture on your PSP
- Extract the Screencapture pack anywhere on your computer
- Connect your PSP to your PC and check if there is a seplugins folder on the root of your memory stick.
- If you don’t have a seplugins folder, copy the seplugins folder to the root of your memory stick as shown below
- If you don’t have a seplugins folder, check if you have these 3 files inside it:
- Copy screenshotbmp.prx from the seplugins from the folder you’ve extracted to the seplugins folder on the root of your memory stick
- Go to the seplugins folder and open these files:
- On each file add the line:
- If you don’t have any of those 3 files mentioned above, just copy the ones from the seplugins folder you’ve just extracted
[sourcecode language='css']
game.txt
pops.txt
vsh.txt
[/sourcecode][sourcecode language='css']
ms0:/seplugins/screenshotbmp.prx
[/sourcecode] - Turn off your PSP (Off, not standby, if you’re running custom firmware via chickHen, DO NOT do this)
- Enter the recovery menu (if you’ve not on chickHen, hold the R button when turning on your PSP
- Go to plugins and enable the screenshotbmp.prx where you want to use it
- Press the note button and you should see your PSP’s screen inverting it’s colors (you’ll know it when you see it). This is the screenshot plugin working.
- Go to Photos on your XMB and you should see your screenshot
[sourcecode language='css']
game = inside a PSP game
pops = inside a POPS loader game/ PSX game
vsh = on your XMB
[/sourcecode]

so how can I capture screenshot if I’m running chickHEN on my PSP?
or should I try it first before loading the chickHEN?
for ChickHen you need to press L + the note key
Woot, longsword user!
Just upgraded to unite din. 
Meet tayo para sa adhoc session minsan
Hmm… This’ll be even more interesting when a video recorder for PSP appears.
Ui sylv3rblade!!!! Mas maganda ba ang quality nito kaysa sa Freecheat na screenshot???
di ko pa nagagamit un pero simple lang kasi to
I’ve been using the plugin since I got my first PSP.
ahh ok salamat!
now i fkin understand what it means by “adding the line” to vsh.. i was so confused about this untill now,, thank you very much for this..r u a girl? if u are then u must be smart..
hi, just would like to clarify
so if im on chickHen running 5.00m33-6, i follow everything and just skip the turn off and recovery menu steps? i can go straight to L+note key?
uhmm, panu po kumuha ng screenshot??
press the note key
Let’s say I want to change the sub folder that the pics end up in, how do I go about doing that?
i have chikhen an cfwenabler on my psp3000. it doesnt seem to work. i did everything in the instructions except the turning it off part. help please.
if sumoe has 5.xx via chickHEN: THEN DO the FOLLOWING:–
1. Create a file named – CXMB – on the root of ur memory stick and place just the .prx file in it.
2. create or copy the seplugins folder on the root of ur memory stick.
3. create .txt document’sss named- game, vsh and pops
4. write the following in those 3 folders-ms0:/seplugins/screenshotbmp.prx 1
5. 1 means that they have been enabled
6. ensure that that the .prx file is also in the seplugins folder.
7. when done press the note key and u will see that the picture is being saved.
8. Note key is on the left side of select key…….
Thanks for the useful post! Works like a charm in 5.03 GEN-C via ChickHEN R2.
For you guys out there, download this easy screencapture pack:

Everything has already been set. Simply copy the contents of the folder to the root of your memory stick (MS:\) and snap away!

hi, i used this plugin a long time (in capturing gameplays)…
but i wonder if i can capture shots on the vsh itself. so it happened that i read this article and got interested.
In the end, yes, the plugin worked on the games, but not the on the vsh. Is it i press another button or else? please help. Have the Firmware 5.03 GEN-C (FULL) via chickHEN…
