Research direction
Start by examining the existing screenshot functionality in Xenia's codebase, likely in the renderer directories. Review the issue comments for any proposed approaches or pointers. Investigate how resolution scaling affects the framebuffer and identify the best point to capture the final output. Consider reading back the framebuffer via Vulkan or DirectX APIs.
