Xport's emulators have a feature where they take multiple screenshots in a row. This is not an Xport emulator.  (I for one don't even like that feature of Xport emulators, but whatever)
If you were expecting it to work like xport's emulator, it's not going to because it's not an xport emulator.
This emulator has its own benefits, and it's not just going to copy Xport.
It has many features that xport's doesn't, and it doesn't have a few that xport does.
You can take that annoyed smiley down too.
It makes it look like your intention is to actually complain about this, or express 'annoyance' that the feature has a bug.
If that's actually what you're doing, you can shove that.
If not, and you just want to know how this works..
As far as I know it only takes one screenshot, and if there's a new multi-screenshot feature then it probably doesn't have the same mechanics, it may need to be bug-fixed or you may have to try turning on some option.
There you go.

I am pretty sure that each time you take a screenshot, the image is written/over-written into the folder \artwork\shots 1\. But since the multiple screenshots feature is new on ZSNEXBOX, I am sure it will be corrected on a next release.

There's nothing to correct.

Here's how it all work:

1) Start ZsnexBox
2) The default screenshot slot (under General Options) is set to slot one
3) You take a screenshot
4) It goes in ZsnexBox\artwork\Shots 1 folder

Now if you take another screenshot, it's just going to put it in the same foder and overwrite the one you just took.

So.....

You have to go back to general options and change the slot to "Slot 2".

5) Now take the next screenshot


You have now just taken 2 separate screenshots and they are in 2 seaparate folders (Shots 1 and Shot 2)

In the ROM browser, if you have automatic screenshots turned on (GUI Options->Image Options->Page 2 at the bottom) the screenshots will cycle every 3 seconds.

If it is turned off, then you can cycle them your selves with the right analog stick in the ROM browser.

You can do the above pricess and take 8 different screenshots that are stored in 8 different folders. Then you can set whether you want them to cycle in the rom browser automaticly, or if you want to cycle them yourselves.

That's cool then. I had not noticed that you could change the slot where the image is written.

While we're on the subject of screenshots/artwork, I'm still finishing up with what I have for my packs.  I have a good selection of backs (most of the popular games plus some extras) but no where near the number that the fronts pack has.  As for carts, well, there's so few there its not even worth doing.  I will be renaming the titles & snaps from the screenshot archive's packs though to match the good sets.  

I really would like to find some more sites that have decent sized artwork.  I'd prefer some high quality scans of course, but I think I've grabbed just about all that's to be found.  From here out I think it'll be a matter of filling in the blanks with anything larger than the existing front shots (200x140ish).  Finally once that's been milked, fill in the rest with the small ones (better than nothing).  If anyone knows of any good sites, check my sig for the thread I made on it, which also contains the sites I've ripped from, and let me know if your site isn't listed.
