Description

Xenia's been around for a long time and I've searched high & low to see if there's a screenshot key implemented into the emulator yet and came up dry. Is this on the to do? Seems like Shadowplay or Fraps is the only way to dump screens.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the emulator's UI code (likely using DirectX or Vulkan) and how input handling works. Look at how other emulators implement screenshot hotkeys to understand the required rendering capture and file output logic.
