Help! I can't see my screenshots.

I posted this in the Technical Support but got no response, so I'll try here.

In the High Scores thread that I started in the appropriate sub-forum, I stated that I will be playing DK, D2K, and DK Jr., as they were meant to be played using the official settings set by Twin Galaxies.

I'd like to take screenshots (not for submission to TG; I'll never be that good), but to post here so people don't think that I'm making scores up.

My problem:  I play on MAME using my PC (Windows 7).  When I press Print Screen and then open Paint and then hit Paste, the picture is all black.  I even tried Alt-Print Screen to take a screenshot of the open window.  Nothing but black.

What am I doing wrong? [/quote]

Press F12 to save a screen capture of your game in progress. All saved screen captures end up in the snap folder that lives in the MAME directory. Most MAME front-ends use the contents of this directory to access screenshots and show you what the game looks like before you choose to play it.

OK.  I'll try it!  Thanks!  

Edit:  It works!  Screenshots are now working!

Thanks, John!
