    XNA Device Center Xbox screen shots are b0rked

    The XNA Game Studio has a component called the XNA Device Center. You can configure your X-boxes in this tool, if you have more than one, and switch which one is active. You can also right-click on a connected X-box and choose "Screen Capture."

    However, I think something broke in the latest update (3.1). What do you think? :-)

    I can't make up my mind whether this is a bit-reverse view, or an RGB view of the depth buffer... although the floor is a plane, and should be more homogenous than noisy if it was pure depth bits...

    That's quite the interesting look you have going on there!

    I've successfully taken screen shots from the Xbox post-3.1, so it might be something wrong with the game itself? Not really sure what to say about that lol.

    You can see my non-noisy screenshot on my blog.

    I traced this down to happening when the framebuffer format is not Color, but something else (in this case, I was using Rgba1010102 for the higher quality to certain HDMI displays).
    I think that the appropriate result should either be to get an error from trying to take the screen shot ("Sorry, but the format <blah> is not supported -- use the boring old Color format if you want to take screen shots!"), or actually having it converted/stored in some format that can represent it. Tiff can represent more than 8 bits per component, as can JPEG actually. Or just chop down to 8 bits, so you can at least see the real image...
