I've read that sprites aren't captured when you use GET IMAGE. Fair enough, but I've also read that using PASTE SPRITE should enable me to grab them.

I've taken Scraggles bitmap font code (thanks BTW!), and after each SPRITE command, I've added a PASTE SPRITE command, but the text still isn't showing up in my screenshots (GET IMAGE followed by SAVE IMAGE).

I can post some code if it will help, but I suspect it's more likely to be my (lack of) understanding of DBP.

Any help appreciated

sync before you save image.

Genius. I added a SYNC command directly before SAVE IMAGE and it works perfectly.

Thanks.
