It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible. (lemmy.world)

You can photograph a TV but making a screenshot was usually done by blitting the backbuffer somewhere.

Did screenshots taken with the method you mentioned have bloom, Like you would see from an image taken from a CRT? I associate bloom in screenshots from being directly Photographed from the CRT.

I guess you can do both ofc ! And maybe you had to with say the C64. The PS1 you could do it through the devkit IIRC.
