Stupid question....but is there a way to screenshot in DS?

[jelbo]

It's doable for homebrew developers to implement in their app, but afaik it's impossible for commercial games.

[cygig]

then how do they get screenshots in gamespots or other gaming webby? Camera?

[jelbo]

I think they get most from the developers or publishers. I think I remember reading at IGN once that they had special equipment for their GBA's to record video from it, so a similar thing might exist for the DS. I believe HAL Laboratories develops stuff like that, but it won't come cheap, if even you're able to get it as a consumer.

i wonder if scanner can do the job on screenshot, justpop in and scan.

Nope. Scanner = Worse than camera. There's two ways:

1) Use emulator, then press Alt+Print Scr, then past that in MS Paint or Photoshop or something and trim the edges.

2) Use the Nintendo screen-shot device to view your DS screen on a computer, then do the last past of step 1.

Just for the record, the only way to get your hands on the device in #2 is to steal it from Nintendo. They wont sell them "for their own reasons".
