I keep deleting it, but it gets created again and again in the root of my mSD card? I never take any screenshots.

Are you launching the Homebrew Launcher when this happens? It creates this file upon launch if it doesn't exist, if I recall correctly.

Unsure, but it seems to keep adding screenshots, the file becomes larger...?

It's a feature of the Homebrew Launcher. Like Ichigo said, if you hit home, it takes a screenshot. There's not really a lot you can do to prevent the screenshot file from being created, unless you either don't launch the HBL anymore, or rebuild the *hax payload so it doesn't have that functionality. Alternatively, use a file browser to delete the file from time to time.

You probably keep accidentally pressing the home button each time you wanted to exit back to home menu..

Ahhh, ok. Thanks for the enlightenment. :bow:

    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
