possible workaround: take a few screen-shots with the sprites in different positions, and copy-paste the background from 1 screenshot over sprites in the other screenshot with your favorite graphical program?

Bastiaan.
That is not possible in the game I want to capture because the game has scroll and the enemies always appear on the same position.

Nice trick. I used it to view how the title screen of Malaika was done. I got impressed by the graphic designer cleverness. |

having the time I think that it could be done automatically by SW converter.
If you consider only the case of pictures of 64x128 and you decide to not consider arbitrary displacements of the sprites the converter should be quite simple.

I don´t think so, ARTRAG... I´ve tried to use MSX images converters, including one or two programmed by myself... although some image/converter combinations can achieve cool results, planned pixel art is always the best option. |

i'm sure that humans will always do better of any converter
nevertheless a sw tool in a 64x128 area would be easy to do and would guarantee 3 colors per 8 pixels line, even if one color is in common with a 16x16 area

Is there similar functionality to turn on/off PSG and SCC channels? I see mixer, but no so low level control.

@Eugeny... I don´t know about BlueMSX, but IIRC ParaMSX has this kind of feature...

Since today we can take screenshots without sprites, more on this soon (in the form of new maps)
