|Workaround=As of recent v1.5.0 git builds, this can be resolved.

|Workaround=As of recent v1.5.0 git builds, this is resolved by default as long as "Automatic Gamefixes" is enabled.

Alternatively go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, make sure Renderer is set to "OpenGL (Hardware), click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks, and enable the '''Unscale Point Line''' hack.

|Description=When taking screenshots in PCSX2 using the F8 key, the image height is somehow cut in half, resulting in distorted images. This might be related to a very old bug where the NTSC version of the game would only show half the screen.
|AffectedVersions=NTSC
|Workaround=No known method for now. Use a different software to take screenshots instead, such as Fraps or Bandicam.
