Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I've been playing a lot of my old time favorites with the awesome texture packs that people have been making and was wondering why you can't take screenshots and load custom textures while the emulation is paused? I find it most difficult to get a screenshot of the exact frame in both original and HD textures due to this.

In short, it's because Dolphin doesn't store the information needed for re-rendering the current frame. This isn't technically a requirement for being able to take screenshots when paused, but it is a requirement for loading custom textures while paused.
