Freescreenshots is a plugin that enables native screenshots feature on any game and removes watermarks on games that use it for taken screenshots.

This plugin does two things:

  • It enables screenshots for some games/apps which block taking screenshots. PSP emu is one example to this.
  • It removes watermarks on screenshots some games/apps apply to screenshots.

Installation

Put freescreenshots.suprx in tai folder in the root of your Vita (ur0 or ux0).

Change config.txt in that directory to load plugin for title of your choice by adding new lines like below (change to ur0 if you store the plugin there)

# titleid for your game (this one is for Super Stardust Delta for example to remove watermark on screenshots)
*PCSA00006
ux0:tai/freescreenshots.suprx

# titleid for your game (this one is for Ape Escape Demo for example to enable screenshot for ARK)
*NPEG00005
ux0:tai/freescreenshots.suprx

After that, you can use PS button+Start combo as usual to take screenshots.

Now screenshots are enabled on every app/game and they won't be watermarked.
