Lossless screenshots? about sysdvr HOT 5 CLOSED

Not with this sysmodule.
Lossless screenshot is a special function accessble only to system applets, the only way to get them currently is xortroll's uLaunch, but that feature requires usb access and can't work with SysDVR.
I'm working on a custom overlay which will be able to do it as well but it's not yet released and no eta currently.

Pardon me for asking, but could you share the Api function call you are referring to? I have been looking for the way to get the raw framebuffer and you seem to know about this subject.

This one: https://reswitched.github.io/SwIPC/ifaces.html#nn::am::service::IDisplayController(5)
Note that it's not actually accessing the framebuffer, it copies it at every call so you can't edit it.
Also it's pretty slow so no video recording and you can only call it from system applets like the home menu and overlay.

Oh... hmmm. How much latency does the actual grcdServiceRead function call in your code take? I know that the program in its entirety has about a second of delay, but does grcdServiceRead run instantaneously? Sorta off topic, but heh, I'm wondering.

Tbh never measured it, pretty sure most of the delay is hardware encoding and caching for decoding on the pc side. grcRead is likely just a memory copy via IPC.
