Hi,
Obviously you need to include the png and graphics libs.
then this function that came from some sample, or somewhere else
here on ps2dev.org:

Code: Select all

void saveScreen&#40;&#41; &#123;
			int posX;
			int posY;
			Color pixel;
			Color* vram = getVramDisplayBuffer&#40;&#41;;
			Image* screenShot;
			screenShot = createImage&#40;480,272&#41;;
			for &#40;posY=0; posY<272; posY++&#41; &#123;
			for&#40;posX=0; posX<480; posX++&#41; &#123;
			pixel = vram&#91;PSP_LINE_SIZE * posY + posX&#93;;
			putPixelImage&#40;pixel,posX,posY,screenShot&#41;;
			&#125;
			&#125;
			saveImage&#40;"ms0&#58;/Snapshot.png",screenShot->data,480,272,PSP_LINE_SIZE,0&#41;;
			freeImage&#40;screenShot&#41;;
&#125;

Cheers, Art.
